tal comments on FURNISHED ROOM 4 RENT LAURELES MEDELLIN-GREAT OPTION

thanks very much, you are right about the exchange rate, I actually just copied and pasted it from a month or so ago. So yes to clarify, good news for people with Dollars, Rent per month is around $279.24 close to floresta station and many many buses.

tal comments on salary??????

how about you stop perpetuating stereotypes ..... if you are a stingy tight arse that is your business! "Colombian mentality is very similar to the Jewish mentality, we like to pay little for a job well done, and trust me, we get it done correctly." I am Jewish and Colombian and have never bargained for anything in my life, generally I believe you get what you pay for..... you want cheap shit you will get cheap shit. As for Colombians paying $150 for something, it depends on how much they need it, $150 is alot of money here, Considering an average salary is around $500.00 a month so either you need to go for rich areas and clientelle, or drop your price somewhat. I will give you an example. A specialist doctor charges 80 000 pesos or around $40 for a consultation..... that consultation can last anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour, here that is good money.

tal comments on Teaching english in Medellin

if you are qualified, you will find work, you should come with some saving so you dont have to find work in the first month, be patient, and it will happen. Eafit is a great bet, and they do get the paperwork for you. Another good school is lexicom.

 

tal comments on Jesus

if you are looking for long term accomodation that is the correct price let me know. We are also travellers and colombians living and sharing the rent.

 

tal comments on Teaching english in Medellin

there are lots of jobs, the problem is no one will respond via email, your best bet is to come here and go to all the schools. You should probably teach children, and all schools here offer English. The money is not amazing, but you can live off this. Your other option is to teach Spanish.....

 

tal comments on Looking for Furnished apartment

what city??? share or by yourself?

 

tal comments on How do i explore south america?

I think Argentina is a great introduction to South America, it is not such a culture shock, and has lots of tourists travelling with whom you can probably join and travel to other places like bolivia, peru, brazil, etc..... when travelling alone you are never alone!
