    Back to reality.... hola Medellin

    February 11, 2020 in Colombia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    From Cali to Medellin via Bogota....
    I left Cali, ready to immerse myself back to the reality.
    It is easy to have a peaceful spirit in a place like Yogendra where you are surrounded by nature, loving people, perfect food, silence, the sound of the birds, the sun, the moon...
    And few hours later you are in Medellin.
    3 Millions people city. A lot of cars, trains, buses.... a lot of people.... indigents, prostitution, poverty, criminality.... back to reality.
    Medellin is the second biggest and second important city in Colombia, after Bogota. Medellin has many labels: one of the most popular cities in Latin America, the most innovative, the most creative, perfect for entrepreneurs, the most progressive.... but also one of the most dangerous. Not like obviously dangerous but in the underground. There re officially 84 organized criminal bands that control every neighborhood in the city.
    For sure a big contrast after three weeks in Cali.
    A radical immersion back to life.
    Now I need a beach.
