Bogota Reports

[Prelude141]

But AFTER you pass security you can buy water inside, the near the gate and bring it onto the plan with no problem EXCEPT Bogota, it's not just Jetblue but Delta too, see my post below. Save your money and don't buy drinks to take on the plane with you in El Dorado, They have been doing it for my last half dozen trips this year.

Strange, I do always buy water and board with no issue at all and I don't see what rule can prevent us travellers from doing it.

The condom companies have done a good job of brainwashing those in Colombia. I have went bareback many times by telling the girls I promise not to cum inside. Most intelligent people who have cured a minor STI/ STD for only a few dollars and in 24 to 48 hours are not afraid of not using a condom. Especially since other major major ones are very difficult to contract. What the girls are deathly afraid of is pregnancy because most girls can barely afford to feed themselves and get little assistance in Colombia.

Add them on Facebook and promise them not to cum inside and they will usually skip the dirty condom. Cancer causing Condoms should be illegal actually. The fact they are not shows the evilness of the world.

If you must wear one the super delgado one from DuRex isn't bad. The Air 2 is better but not available in Colombia.

Happy mongering,

MM.

Where do you go besides Santa Fe? Can you give an intermediate Bogota traveler some tips?

[Mr Enternational]

Although a small problem but one that is one of my favorite pet peeves is that you can buy a drink after you pass security and buy your drink directly across from gate 34 they still take your drink away from you in the jet way before you board. It only happens in Colombia to my knowledge.

Philippines as well and used to be Thailand when US carriers were going there. Cancun does it too. They would not even let me take a 3 oz bottle of liquid.

I spent so much money on chaturbate trying to line up some chicas for my trip. I honestly can't say that I'm feeling very confident than any of them will meet me, and I'm 100% confident that some of the ones I spent a lot on will not meet me. Really hammers home the phrase that the only honest women are prostitutes. I know I'm an idiot so there's no need to tell me. That money could have been spent so much better on my trip. And maybe a couple of them will meet with me and make it worth the money I wasted on the ones who won't, but I'm not going to hold my breath. There was a guy on here insisting that it's a decent way to meet women despite everyone saying it's not, and I regret ever reading that post. I really don't think it is a good way (I guess I'll find out soon enough). Most girls will say what you want to hear in an attempt to get tips from you and they are just bottomless pits of want. The more you send, the more they expect. And if they do meet you, it's not because they said they would or to fill their end of the bargain, it's because they hope to keep squeezing more out of the lemon. Maybe there are some girls on there who are sincere, but they're so few and far between that it makes it too risky an endeavour to seek them out. It makes sense that they expect you to send them something to show that you're serious and not a chump, but then it just becomes a slippery slope of exploitation. And they know this but they feign ignorance. Turns out it's not just western women who are manipulative and entitled. I have so much respect for the girls who just straight up say they won't do encounters, even if they're bitches about it.

Anyway I'm not going to stress about that anymore because I've finally booked my trip and I'm excited. Staying in Santa Fe for 5 nights starting October 12th then going up to Chapinero. I found a couple airbnbs that are guest friendly and I want to share them with you guys but I also don't want to blow them up. Sorry. It was kind of a pain in the ass to send messages asking about them and getting kind of ambiguous responses. Not unlike my chaturbate experience, I have respect for the listings that straight up say they don't allow it. It sets the precedent that you should have to have the rule written out for it to be enforced. It would suck to get kicked out or get a bad review because you didn't explicitly say that you planned to bring a bunch of girls over.

So anyway I'm hoping to link up with some of you guys so we can check out Santa Fe at night without worrying about getting stabbed. Send me a PM if you have a subscription or if not I guess just post in the thread at the risk of annoying some people. Just in case I do have to go solo, I made a decoy wallet and I'm going to bring a shitty phone as a decoy too and have my real phone and wallet hidden. Was also thinking about getting some mace, I haven't heard anyone on here talk about whether that's a good idea but apparently it's legal. Anyone know where to buy it down there?

ATM with 900 k limit is per transaction, just withdraw 900 k remove card & repeat, did it at airport when I landed no problem at all.

Why are you annoyed with the airline when you tried to break the rules bringing a water bottle through?

Your anger is misdirected. You have a beef with the US government, not the US airlines. The US govt makes the rules for all flights going to the USA.

Although a small problem but one that is one of my favorite pet peeves is that you can buy a drink after you pass security and buy your drink directly across from gate 34 they still take your drink away from you in the jet way before you board. It only happens in Colombia to my knowledge. Part of my diet is to hydrate constantly, giving the fact most airline, Jetblue, Delta all stopped the water bottles and now only give you a small plastic cup of water is a pain in the ass.

Flew back on Jetblue and they were very annoying and searched my bag and found my water bottle that I had filled up at a water fountain in the airport and followed me onto the plane to make sure I poured it out. This reminded me on why I never use you. S carriers to fly internationally but I had some credit from a cancelled flight last year so I got the tickets for cheap.

JJ,

It is not Jet Blue. I do not know why the fuck some airlines take the liquids from you before you get on the flight. I have no fucking clue. I have flown United once and had them take away liquids and another time did not. Spirit did the same thing. I do not recall American searching for liquids though, but it is so hit or miss, I cannot swear they do not.

Yeah, we all know to not bring liquids through security but when you buy it in the airport? I do not get taking that away. It is a five, six hour flight and you are restricting people from bringing on liquids? That seems like a health hazard and really stupid to me. It would be one thing if the flights provided free beverages, but most do not now.

The Tequendama Suites is a much better and GF.

This is good to know. I accidentally had the uber drop me off at Tequendama Suites but then had to have staff help me walk to Tequendama Hotel, which is about a half block away. The two hotels are connected by a long hallway. I'll likely try Tequendama Suites next time.

I'm back in the you. S now. Loved Bogota but was surprised about the lack of foreigners. In 9 days I only heard 1 person speaking English. Met the Venezuelan from my earlier post again the day before I left. The return process was much easier than expected got my COVID Test at some hospital in Zona T for 110 K pesos.

This reminded me on why I never use you. S carriers to fly internationally but I had some credit from a cancelled flight last year so I got the tickets for cheap I also found an ATM inside the building where my AIRBNB was that let you take out 1. 9 mil. Wish I would have found it earlier in my trip (all the other ones let me take 900 k max) I would have stayed longer but the apartment I was staying at is booked up until the end of the month and I didn't want to change places. Already thinking about returning at the end of the month as airfare is cheap from up here.'

I do not have any debit card, and will not use my US credit card. I do not have bank account that I can use in Colombia.

I have Bluebird Amex Prepaid card but I am not sure Moneypass network works on Colombian ATM. Anybody has used moneypass network with any ATM?

I will have to rely on converting American dollar bills to COP. Need help how best to do it at better exchange rate and at which locations.

I will get some currency at airport, but do they offer good exchange rate at airport?

[Kk989]

As far as ATMs go, I'm not sure why no one mentions it but I use Banco Caja Social, with my Capital One debit card I can withdraw money there without paying any fees whatsoever

For whatever reason, none of my debit cards worked at their ATMs. BBVA, Colpatria, and Davidienda apparently all have no fees on their side, I've used the first two so far, and had the same issue I did w/ Caja Social. This is a good comparison: https://asocialnomad.com/colombia/at...s-in-colombia/.

I'm in country at the moment and will put together my thoughts once I get home as I have a bit more to do, but very positive impressions so far.

Hotel Oceana Bogot (I am asking about this one).

I haven't stayed there personally, but I have walked past it many times. 54 k to bring a girl up to your room sounds pricey tho. At Hotel Europa I believe it's 25 k extra and the rooms are nice. If your on a super tight budget and want to save money check out Hotel Bogotá and Hotel de Lujo.

[Gabacho]

I have one very near my hotel, did you notice how far off they are from the official exchange rate?

Always decline the exchange rate that the ATM offers you, then by default it will charge you in COP and your bank does the conversion rate (which for me is always pretty close to the official exchange rate). This is true at any bank ATM that you go to in any country. Never be afraid to hit decline when it offers you a conversion rate.
