I have been surfing some prepago sites, and I keep seeing the terms, bridal treatment, Russian straw, and morbid. I tried the Urban dictionary site with no luck.

Anybody know what they mean?

Thanks in advance.

I can only guess that 'bridal' is GFE (novia), 'Russian straw' is fucking between her tits (paja Rusa = Cubana), and 'morbid' is more behavioral = sexy (morbosa).

Hello peoples,

I need some pro guidance here brothers. I'm thinking that I don't need the yellow fever shot, will Colombia let me into the country? Its like 265.00 bucks Canadian to get and there is a shortage apparently. Is this something I need to worry about getting for a chica? I really don't think this is something I should be worrying about.

I think its not needed for Colombia, Brazil yes. The plan right now is to say forget about getting it.

Any thoughts guys?

There is a shortage in the US and Canada, and you likely won't find it for 265 CAD at present. There is another vaccine available and also there is shortage. You can get it cheaper in South America but it takes 10 days. See more information at WHO and CDC sites. Colombians don't ask for the card and proof of vaccination. You don't need it in major cities, outside is another story; and nowadays dengue and measles are issues. Situation in Brazil is different and many areas are affected with exception of north-east of the country. The only worry is when traveling between countries in Latin America.

It's not required going from Canada to Colombia. If you go from Brazil to Colombia, you must have the vaccination. You will not get yellow fever from a chica, only from a mosquito bite. Very little risk of yellow fever in the major cities in Colombia.

Not required (at least coming from the US) and not needed unless you plan to visit the jungle border way to the south.

They don't verify it. They just put your onward flight and the date into your record.

Ok got it.

Maybe try telling them you're leaving by bus to Ecuador.

I recall my last trip from Thailand back to the Philippines. The agent casually asks if I have a ticket leaving the Philippines? It's almost like they are asking, for the sake of asking. But they really do want to see my proof. So I whip out my phone, show them the onward flight itinerary. They appear to verify it on the computer, because they are typing like they are inputting info from my phone. Then they hand my phone back and say I'm good to go.

I fly on a one way ticket regularly. Spirit and Jetblue have asked me if I had a return ticket, AA has never asked. When I showed the agent from Jet Blue my permanent residency visa and explained that I did not need a return ticket he was satisfied but the agent from Spirit had to ask another agent about it, he was clueless.

And that's what I'm talking about. The YMMD type of experiences based on who you run into at the airport. One doesn't know exactly what they will hear until they encounter an agent.

For the most part, all of the responses here leads me to believe certain airport agents may give out conflicting or false information. And others may have no clue. And for guys that bought a one way ticket but werent prepared to show proof ( of onward travel ), they may end up buying a return or onward ticket just to get on their plane. It would be real interesting if some agents were telling people they needed a "return" ticket just to boost sales with their carrier?

Yes, you never been asked about that while in Colombia. But maybe you never bought a one way ticket to Colombia? Because if you did you would be asked about your plans to leave Colombia before you board your flight to Colombia, and before you even get to see an immigration officer in Colombia. In this instance, will some check in agents insist that you need a return ticket back to the US, instead of just saying you need proof of travel leaving Colombia?

When I left SFO the guy at ticket counter asked about return ticket I flew jet blue to Cartagena but all I said was yeah I have one on American Airlines that was it, no question of return date, flight number or anything.

[Mr Enternational]

Which trips to Colombia were one way? Because if they were round trip there wouldn't be any reason for the ticket agent in the states to ask for proof of leaving Colombia. But if you were never asked for that and it was a one way ticket, I'd like to know more. Like what airline was that, and what city were you flying from?

Delta from Atlanta. Avianca from New York, Miami, Santo Domingo, Lima, and Sao Paulo.

[Wrx2005]

In over 100 times into Colombia from different cities and different countries, I have never been asked about an onward ticket. Philippines is the only country that I have ever had to show that. I guess it is just like chicks: YMMV.

Airlines want you to have a return ticket to the country you are leaving from or an onward ticket to another country. The reason for this is if you are denied entry at your destination country and have no ticket / funds to return to the original country you started your journey in, the airline would be responsible for transporting you back. The airlines can also be fined by the host country for this. Some gate / ticket agents may not check your return ticket status but they run the risk of being fined themselves if a traveler has no return ticket or money to buy one.

I believe some agents are not properly trained when it comes to offering information. Their native language may not be English. So some may be limited in how they convey information in English to customers at the check in desk. They need to be clear that it could be an onward ticket or a return ticket. Not just say you need a return ticket (as if onward and return are exactly the same thing). Because that could mean something different as far as air travel goes and who they are talking to.
