I think you are someone who understands me. Though cynics may be happy with their own cynicism, I pity them. My lack of cynicism may have led to my down fall in Colombia, but until then, it had...

My apologies. I do recall those posts, though I can't remember the context. My guess is it is what it is, and that robbery was not a major concern, though with the benefit of hindsight, it should...

That's not what I said. Nobody told me not to worry about robbery, not that they should need to give advice on that. What I said, is there were those who mentioned cultural differences, but not one...

As I look at those posters who are attacking my refusal to listen to one person only, I have a question. What advice did you give me that would have helped me avoid much of these probs? I'd like to...

Regarding 1 and 2. Those I made the long term offer to were told there would be a trial period. It was on the third day after this was concluded, Angela started to play up. I did not get rid of her...

Thanks for your response. It seems perverse as well as short-sighted to cheat those who treat you generously. I can well imagine the opposite being true. Why wouldn't you want to take advantage of...

I anticipated much of what you said about "there will be posters who will chastise you", but it is what it is. Hopefully, people will learn from this.

I could have told a completely flattering...

I remember many of you telling me that the culture was different in culture in Col. I don't recall anyone telling me telling me about the Scorpion and Frog mentality of these women.

My mistake was...

What has the got to do with needing a PCR test? How am I "cheap" if I am paying above the going rate?

As for your finding it funny, I would have found it funny too of I had read it about someone...

Thank you for your observations. It's nice to be believed. If you think about, if I were to make up any such stories about mongering, surely I would paint myself in a better light?

Regarding my...

Thanks for that, but I've never heard of either of them. Not sure what WA is, but they do have World Remit in Ireand, I have since found out. But the initial problem wasn't WU itself, but that many...

Regarding your doubts about my prior experience, I can't help that. All I can say is that since 2006, I have about 20 trips under my belt to Thailand, Cambodia and Phils, and the places I've been...

I've already made an offer of forwarding on the emails to the Irish Embassy when I asked them for assistance. I can also forward on the emails for my air ticket as well as the Airbnb. Will that...

I shall try to deal with your points accordingly.

If you look at my earlier posts on the issue of "compensation" and $1800 + shopping trips was mentioned several times. That was my pre-planned...

You are probably right. However, the Google pages also carry reviews by customers. That was why I suggested it to begin with. The OP was looking for info from mongers. Nobody came forward. I had a...

I accept that my post was not going to show me in a good light. The reason I posted was that I was under an obligation to make a trip report to those who had given me useful advice. If I'd told you...

My response to you was not dismissive and did not tell you to refrain from posting such questions on this board. That is a figment of your imagination or just outright dishonesty your part. As nobody...

Yes I was aware, but I needed it to be able to board my flight from DUB to AMS with both Ireland and Holland requiring negative tests.

Further to my most recent post, I promised a trip report. I thought you might be interested in hearing of my misadventures. This rapidly became the holiday in hell.

I won't bore you with all the...

I am not sure if your actions were purely altruistic, but I admire your humanity.

I was in Sihanoukville, Cam in one hotel I stayed in there was a quite attractive Swiss woman, who would come down to breakfast every morning with two completely different Khmers. I was in the hotel...

Just got my PCR result, and went with my Plan be and got my Airbnb host to reapply for the MIGFORM. Within half hour I got my reply from Colombia and I will arrive in just over 48 hours from now on...
