The other side of Medellín's hardships...

A Canadian tourist fled the country as his landlady discovered the body of his Colombian girlfriend in a suitcase in his apartment. Took a flight to Guatemala, so who knows what'll happen next.

But that's how a lot of locals view solo male Westerners: here to exploit women and children. Anger over events like this fuels indifference to word of lone male tourists dying.

Dura la vuelta, mi gente.
Kindness is a radical act in a world as cruel as ours.
