Bogota Reports

Sounds like Bogota to me, MM.

**Master Monger** · 08-26-04 14:26

Dear Fellow Mongers,

Just finishing up in San Jose and ready for something new.

I am looking for a spanish speaking city where Massages can be had for cheap ($5) and the hookers do overnights for less than $50. Also a place where it is easy to find a girlfriend, that has cheap apartments and good cheap food.

Does this sound like Bogota?

Thank you for any help,

Happy Mongering,

Master Monger

TravelMen, i just got back from Bogota sunday, i felt safer there, than some places in my town of 80K people!!!!! Bogota is great, but yeah, you need medium level spanish, other than that, it was the best trip i've ever had, i did have my "favorita"show me around for the entire trip! that was what made the trip!

Belmont stay at Charlies Place in Bogota. It's close to the action, they speak English, party as a group, other Gringos stay there, local women hang out at his bar, and they will help you get whatever you want.

Lots of people speak english there, but not many working girls do. I speak enough spanish to get by, but have only met one working girl that spoke english, and even with her I couldn't stand her attitude.

Caracas is a pretty rough town, and you won't find any English spoken.

Canadians, except in Quebec, speak fair English and the women are lighter-skinned.

I thought some in Bogota would speak some, being a city / university etc?

So even there you think no luck?

So basically for me to make a seperate trip to Bogota/Columbia is not worth the effort?

Thanks for your help, it could save me a waste of time and money.
Plus, maybe being killed :)

Could any of you compare Caracas or Sao Paulo for what I am looking for, perhaps?

In my experience, you won't find many colombianas that speak english. So if that is what you're looking for, I agree with Ferolga777, you should skip colombia.

**Ferolga777** · 08-24-04 15:54

Yes. Skip Colombia. Dead serious.

**TravelMen** · 08-24-04 15:22

I am looking for a city with good night life that has some girls that speak English.

Cali sounds out and CTG does not sound too relaxing.

I love the lighter skinned types.

Do you think Bogota is worth the trip, or am I better off just skipping Columbia and going to say Brazil?

Please help!!

Belmont, i just got back Sunday from 6 days in Bogota, i'd try to stay at least 2 days straight, i used suites real 85, can't complain its with in walking distance of Zona Rosa or quick cab ride. I felt very safe all over Bogota. the rabbit

Arriving September 2 for 7 days, first time in Colombia. Since I have to arrive in Bogota via Continental Airlines, I'll spend at least my first and last nights there.

Two questions for the experts:

1) Are there any resonable and comfortable hotels in the zona rosa? I've read of the Dunn norte 20 blocks away, is this my best bet?

2) How many days should I spend in Cartegena, and how many in Bogota?

Finally, anyone who will be in town who'd like to hook up for liquid refreashments and mongering activities PM me, first drinks on me.

As a first timer to Colombia, will appriciate any advice,

I'll be in Columbia from Sept 2nd thru the 9th.

**Belmont** · 08-20-04 23:50

Questions for the experts,

Is there a resonable, comfortable chica friendly hotel in the Zona Rosa? Casa Dann Norte mentioned in earlier posts is 20 blocks away,

Is this my best bet?

Also, Traveling solo 7 nights, How many nights should I spend in Bogota, and how many in Cartagena? I do speak spanish, and have experiace in Nicaragua, CR and DR. Yes, I know they aren't the same as Columbia.

Finally If any one is in town who'd like to meet up, The first beer is on me.

Any advice is welcomed,

THANKS,

Belmont
