Medellin has pay for [CodeWord140] locations all over the centro.

And you think that the street people can or are going to pay?

That odor in el Centro is not perfume.

at least nyc has public facilities. medellín does not. while i live far from el centro in medellín, i saw a cabbie pissing on a tree around 11:30 am this morning in a residential area.

not true. nyc is the most inconvenient place to take a [CodeWord140]. most establishments that sell food and drink do not have a public bathroom. out of order signs are used to discourage public use even if they have a bathroom.

it amazes me how these morons in nyc can't even get a public bathroom system going. jobs to the homeless revenue to the city. until then i will continue to use phone booths and unload zones to [CodeWord134]. i hate doing it but when you drink alot of water and take vitamins you must release on time.

riding a bike in nyc gives you more access to [CodeWord134] locations as well.

lima is a goldmine for [CodeWord134] convenience.

New York City smells worse, especially in the summer when the bums [CodeWord140] all over the place and the 95 degree heat bakes it. What a shithole, NYC.

That's good. Unfortuanately many of the strip clubs in centro still smell bad.

A good part of el Centro smells bad.

The whole country went no smoking on Jan. 1. That includes all bars.

I don't spend much time in bars. But I live here, and it seems to be taken seriously in restaurants and stores.

I am glad they are enforcing the ban. When dining in Cartagena it is never Americans blowing smoke towards me, probably not Colombians for they do not eat in the tourist traps, so that leaves who?

The Europeans of course.

What a nuisance. At least the weather isn't that cold. Most places have an open air entrance and you are allowed to bring your beer out onto the street.

It amazes me how many idiots in NYC still pay absorbent amounts of money to go drinking and get treated like shit. Crotch grabbing security no re- entrance policies. They even pay twice for coat check(if they want it) to have a smoke and re-enter.

IMHO places that have smoking bans lose alot of their character. It just isn't the same anymore. It won't stop me from returning but it will be an unpleasant reminder to me about how the world is changing. I am a product of the 70's and 80's. I don't relate to healthy partying.

If health is a concern they should get rid of the glue bags and coke.

Yeah right. Have you ever seen how that works in France?

I smoke and the new policy is a pain in the butt!

My experience has been it is being enforced.

Funny, they don't enforce driving standards, but they are bitchen about the smoking. God love Colombia!!!

Are there any non-smoking strip bars besides Conojitas?

I wasn't around these digs when the full moderation of the Colombia forum was implemented, but I've been around on other internet forums long enough to realize that sometimes there's a need for it.

That being said, with the 1st year anniversary of being fully moderated fastly approaching, is there a chance that the Colombia Forum may see less of a time delay between the time a post is submitted and the time its released for all to read?

Is there a day on the horizon where at least the credentialed Senior Members' posts aren't delayed? Is there anything we can do to contribute or help in order to move toward less than initial quarantine on 100% of the posts?

Regardless of whether the Forum stays in full moderation or not, I would like to express my appreciation to Jackson for all that he does and for making this Forum as informative and enjoyable as it is. I can appreciate the old expression---if it ain't broke, don't fix it---and realize that it has it merits.
