As you know, I have retired early and I am living on the North side of Armenia.
As I speak Spanish but with an American accent according to the locals, I am still able to make quite a bit of so called friends. One of the biggest warnings that they tell me is the low grade moral standards of some women and men and how they salivate towards single or married foreigner's presumed wealth. It is no doubt based on the low pay rate and all other variables.
But I defer. my recent conversation with a local regarding a new low of values here. I was informed that Colombian men if you they deserve to be called men, will actually allow their so called girlfriend or wife to entertain men. As this guy told me, money is the factor here. They have none; so, they figure if a woman can obtain gifts or money from a foreign man, why not? As it benefits the partner of the woman.
It is without a doubt a new low for even men here if this is true. Live and learn and do what you have to do to protect yourself.
Please keep in my that not all men and women here are that treacherous and the majority are nice people all the way around.
As always,
