Hi Shloime! Love your videos. I'm from Costa Rica(and actually not Jewish despite my surname lol), but my mom is Colombian. The guy in the park is saying those little plastic bids are an "obsequio" (a gift) from "la tienda" (the store). He tells you that if you like it you can give him a tip, but otherwise the first four beads(?) are free. Colombia has taken in almost 2 million refugees from Venezuela, so there's a lot of them selling trinkets like that on the streets. In the future you should just say "no gracias", which is no thanks, or "no tengo dinero", which means I don't have any money. These sellers are ruthless, and if they notice you're a clueless foreigner that can be duped they'll swarm you (which they did lol). That aside hope you enjoyed your trip, you should visit more of Latin America!
That climax end of the tunnel... "No there's darkness" and this song came up in my mind.😂 "Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again... "😂
Thank you, Shloime, for sharing with us such a unique adventure; it's always interesting being exposed to different ways of life and, although your experience in the latter portion of the video was a bit intense, you never fail to command respect by carrying yourself with dignity and by just being you (above all, I'm just glad you're safe). You have an amazing gift for articulate and stimulating presentation and I look forward to "coming along" for part 2!
Been watching since the Peter Vlogs where my mind was opened up to realising how lovely Hasidic Jews are/can be! its amazing what a bit of educating can do lol! I'm so happy you have visited Colombia, I am going next year and am quite scared in all honesty. Seeing your journey and travels in this short clip has definitely put my mind at ease some more, Great content! Keep it up!
When I heard the comment about the "inappropriate statue" I thought "Oh no! He's in trouble!" They really got you there. $28 bucks? Holy moly! It's a tough time in Colombia right now. The pandemic and the millions of poor Venezuelans flooding into the country only exacerbate the situation. You made those Venezolano's day brother. You did a kind thing. Welcome to my homeland. Keep your wits on defcon red until things cool down.
Really enjoyed that video Schlomie. It reminded me of a school trip to Paris circa 1978.Under the eifel tower there was these Algerian guys ( again refugees ) selling these amazing toy flying birds. I really really wanted one but they were a crazy price and would’ve used up most of my holiday money. Fast forward to 2011 I took my kids to Paris and the Algerians still there so now as a 40 something with my own cash I finally got one and I love it. It really does fly Keep up the great work x
I've been there, and I understand your frustration with the street vendors. It happened to me. But you happened to be in the worst place in terms of street vendors. Not all of Medellin is like that, especially the nicer neighborhoods, like Poblado. I hope you go to Bogota. I fell in love with that city, packed my things and left my PH in San Francisco to move there for 5 years. Now I live in Mexico City. Let me know if you ever come this way!! Enjoy Colombia!!
I saw you with Peter! I spent 6 months in Colombia this year. I recommend checking out the Cocora Valley, which has the famous wax palms. For virgin beaches, check out Guachalito on the Pacific (flight from Medellin to Nuqui). Parque Tayrona is also cool on the Caribean.
shalom my friend, i know youve never been to places like this before. I am not from columbia. I am from asia, not the middle east, but on the southern east. so many places like that. enjoy
Some very cool videos you have. Just some helpful advice from someone who has traveled to some of these places to avoid being taken advantage of. I’ve found it very helpful to learn a few basic phrases in local languages, especially numbers. Google translate is also extremely helpful (and you can download it for offline use). And if all else fails, the calculator on a phone can be used to establish prices beforehand. And if you’re in a populated area, you can ask if anyone speaks English/look for local police if someone makes you uncomfortable. Anyway, keep the videos coming! Would recommend visiting Brazil next!
Bro those venezuelans said you can pay what you want. You didn't have to give them 80k pesos. Theys scammed you.. But at the same time, they surely needed every peso.. Venezuelans are out there just trying to survive.
Oh WOW! You guys are so brave going there without a guide 🤪. All over Colombia you have more and more Venezuelans trying to make a living, so it’s overwhelming having all them + Colombian people trying to sell you something.
AC, you think these visitors goes to these countries without guides to make videos for youtube. Not true, the guides are not in the video but they are with them.
Great video. Can't believe you paid so much for the shoe rings. Btw that's usually me who ends up overpaying in holiday markets. My strategy going forward is just say no and keep walking.
I wonder what that statue in the square behind you was meant to be. If that is depicting one of Colombia's founding fathers somehow, I get the impression that their country was founded by portly beardless garden gnomes on strange shrinky-head horses... Modern art, I guess. In any case, thank you very much for this travel video. I was about to go to Colombia soon, it is still among my must-see countries, but I know I've got to be careful.
I hope that you are having an amazing time. When y9ou showed off your unusual tefillin bags, you said that you have citizenship in both Canada and the US. I am a Canadian in Toronto and wonder if you are related to Rabbi Chezzie Zionce, A'H'.
Hi Shloime... Ever since watching you in Patrick's videos, I've become your fan and subscriber as well. If you want, kindly do visit Karachi, Pakistan... It will be a great pleasure indeed.
I was wondering already how you do Avoidas Hatefilloh there on a journey, but if Chabad is there thats great, can a individual daven Shachris, Minche and maariv on his own at all? Be careful in Colombia too, besides the general criminality i mean because there were some big protests going on some months ago where people were slaughtered by the Police when they were simply protesting against the government.
That’s the narrative of the media, like anywhere in the world “Police slaughtering the people” FAKE NEWS!!! Those people have learnt well from the BLM, “peaceful protest” that end up destroying, looting and murdering and the police trying to do something about it. 🤦🏻♀️
Hi schlomie, such an engaging video as usual! btw, I'd like to travel to Israel again. I'm a UK citizen, double vaccinated in the uk.. as a us citizen, how did u find getting to Israel? Best wishes mister, b
20 bucks for some buttons 👀 😳. I know you feel taken advantage of but trust those 20 bucks goes along way for them. good deeds always come back to save u in the most unexpected ways.
Huh.. the running shoe grommet grift is so .. random. Im colombian-american and enjoyed seeing Medellin in your video. My entire life (growing up in the US) I have had to hear gringos say exactly what you said re: your expectations of Colombia. Im glad you got to see how wrong that belief was. (I figured that, as a traveler, you would see and appreciate the good side of your destination) Im not sure if you are unable to but one MUST eat the many different types of fruit in Colombia - you wont see many of them back in the US.
I've visited Colombia in 2017 and Medellin was the greatest place in the country. It's a city with an emerging status, with Startups and other young entrepreneurs settling there and still very affordable for us Westerners. I guess your friends were searching for real estate opportunities? Btw, I wonder that you have been taken in by these scammers. Someone like you with that travelling experience should know that you never ever accept a "gift" from a street vendor 😆😆😆
If you ever go to Caracas it's the same and worse with the impoverished little children selling t-shirts. Who can say no to the kids? I spent a lot on souvenir t-shirts. Your new shoe eyelets are kinda cool, though.
No! don't let them put that stuff on your shoes. They did the same to me and they end up rusting and falling off in a few weeks. They're going to charge you an arm and a leg too since you didn't ask for the price first
13:47 They are immigrants from Venezuela and they make money that way. Even for us it's annoying to be in such a place. $ 28 is a lot of money for that "protection", sorry!
5:59 I think that people that live outside of a state should not own real estate in that state :( they don't care about the community if they are not there sadly they only care about money :(
שלןמי אתה יודע מה מיוחד בך? זה ש אתה היחיד שעוסק בלהביא שמחה בבתי חסידים שיש אנשים שחפצים להראות לילדים ווידאו חדשות לבקרים בלי דברים שאינם לרוח ישראל ואתה מביא את זה ובמיוחד אתה עושה שלושה בשבוע. כככללל הההכככבבבווודדד . לך תמשיך אתה ענק אם הייתי עשיר היחתי מעניק לך מתנות גדולות חן חן לך
Sholoime, just love your videos, but please please keep your mask up on the plane, we can hear you through the mask😉 When you are in a enclosed area, out of respect for your travel companions, did notice they kept their masks up
Shloime, your hosts should not have taken you downtown, that place looks so crowded, full of homelessness, and immigrants from other countries around, the first part of the video instead looks nice
They did not cheated the Jew with $28. He pay the money cause he wanted and he knows that these guys from Venezuela are hungry for money. That is his video and he want to show visitors what can happen to tourist in Colombia. On the other hand the Jew is making money from youtube for his video.
Great video , first time me seeing hearing you ---- I have lived all over America and and have lived in Japan and okinawa , also have traveled most of the world, but never to Columbia , my niece goes there alot ---- Iam Praying for you all ---- I Know for a Fact God is For Real ( Israel, isreal) and Jesus is Real and He is Talked about through out the Torah ----- Benjamin Warfield, the old Princeton theologian, likened the Old Testament is a richly furnished but dimly lit room. In the New Testament nothing is added but light
Glad to see you helping out people from Venezuela
I’m so fascinated with Judaism and I love watching your videos! Thank you!! I love learning about your religion.
Thank you Camille!
Thank You‼️🙏 Glad Chabad is there for you, on your journey.
Me too!!
@@ShloimeZionce did you check out their Mikva there?
I’m Colombian and it was so funny to listen all the things they told you in Spanish 😂.
The guy who was giving you the shoe laces thing hahaha.
You should visit Bogota !
Street sellers are not that intense haha.

Julian, no tengo dinero do not count.....they know you have. To the hell with your junk will let you free.
My mother is from the Jewish community in Colombia and is from Medellin. My family still lives in Colombia and is party of the community in Bogota.
That climax end of the tunnel... "No there's darkness" and this song came up in my mind.😂
"Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again... "😂
Amazing .... To be able to see my beautiful city through your eyes ... Today Rabba!♥️🙏🏻

Shloime, you are my hoimie. Thanks to Peter I learned about your beautiful culture and people. I am looking forward to seeing your videos, brother.
I appreciate that!
Shloime is so funny in this video 😂
From Saddam Hussein's palace to Colombia. Shloime always ends up where I expect him the least!
;-)
I've come to expect the unexpected with Shloime! That's the joy of this channel.
Shloime you should come visit us in Argentina! There is a huge Jewish community in Buenos Aires and I'm sure you'd feel right at home.
Thank los for the invitation! I look forward to visiting Argentina very soon!
My dream is to visit buenos aires ב"ה
Shloime, I always wondered how can you eat in countries where isn't a Chabad house?
Great question! I'll make a video about it.
I have asked him this too.😁

Thank you Mark!
Love your videos!
Thank you!
I'm glad you were able to find this. See how Ha Shem provides?
When I heard the comment about the "inappropriate statue"
I thought "Oh no! He's in trouble!"
They really got you there. $28 bucks? Holy moly!
It's a tough time in Colombia right now.
The pandemic and the millions of poor Venezuelans flooding into the country only exacerbate the situation.
You made those Venezolano's day brother. You did a kind thing.
Welcome to my homeland. Keep your wits on defcon red until things cool down.
Thank you so much, Shloime, for taking us with you!! Yeah, there are hustlers EVERYWHERE! Be careful.
It's my pleasure! Thanks for being here!
When you going to come to Puerto Rico? Hope to see a video soon. Shalom.
Great Tips and info coverage of the city...
Thanks 42!
Could you please share the location of khabar house at medellin?

Nice video, omg, those vendors, worst then In Milano, I love your Talis bag, what an awesome idea.
Oh, that was very cool, Shloime! BTW, those are called eyelets. The plastic, or metal ends of a shoelace are called aglets. The more you know… 👍🏻🙂
You were at el pueblito Paisa, and the other place en el centro you better keep walking away!
HI did you go to Cartegena? was thinking of going there
Wow $28, consider that your good deed for your entire trip!! Thx for the heads up as I was thinking of going to Colombia....hmmmm
