Bogota Reports

[MamalaPenga]

When will you be there?

I apologize if this is the wrong board, I looked for an introduction board but couldn't find one.

Anyway, I'm totally new to mongering and never been out of the country. I've read a bunch of posts trying to get an idea of what to expect. However, I was wondering if it's possible to find someone to show me the ropes when I get there, and if so where I can find someone that would be willing to do that?

Another last resort option is bringing a buddy fluent in Spanish with me. I will be traveling to Bogota in May, and will be in Colombia for 2 weeks. I'm open to traveling to other spots as well.

Thanks for your help!

I should have added "ask your doctor for advice."

A few last notes on the subject.

1. I've been mixing the generic name with a brand name. The generic name is "methylprednisolone. " One of the brand names is "Prednizone. ".

2. I don't recommend anyone just go out and try random medications without doing research and consulting an expert, especially not on my recommendation.

3. Except as prescribed by a doctor, I don't recommend anyone start a daily regimen, long term, of any medication, and if recommended by a doctor I suggest checking for alternatives.

4. Some of the effects of altitude sickness (difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, dizziness, lack of energy) may possibly be reduced methylprednisolone, since it's also used as a treatment for asthma. I'm somewhat surprised one of the drug companies hasn't tried marketing it for this. Now watch. In 6 months it'll be the latest OTC sensation.

5. Where are all of you guys every time someone is suggesting getting testosterone injections in Colombia, or picking up Viagra, or Cialis without a prescription?

I was with a couple of my friends in front of Fiebre club (1 de mayo) this Saturday and then we saw a kid by himself run up to 2 or 3 guys and pointed out to everybody and yelled out "they stole my phone!" There were a lot of people around and no one paid any attention to him. He then fell down. I and my friends approached and helped him. He was stabbed twice in the ribs and once in the hamstring (leg) (They stabbed him there so he wouldn't chase them I guess). We called an ambulance and he had to remove his coat and dress shirt. Don't go to places alone and a phone is not worth your life!

Is a steroid, it helps with breathing, it helps put extra cushion around your vertebrae and it lubricates your joints, its a temporary 30-45 days fix, the downside, it elevates blood sugar, weight, and can lead to osteoporosis. It will also eventually lead to a risk of COPD after your lung capacity has been reached. It also increases energy due to the increase tolerance of the respiratory capacity, use with caution, use only when necessary. Try NSAIDs, And Other Anti-inflammatory drugs with less side effects. I've never attempted to buy or retrieve steroids (methylprednisolone) in Colombia, the other drag is this: most pharmacist in Colombia don't give injections, therefore you buy the drug & syringe at the pharmacy and take the medicine to the Dr and the Dr administers it. Hope this helps. Pollo negro is out!

Methylprednizone comes in a pill, dosage pack, with decreasing dosages. My current prescription starts with 6 x 4 MG the first day, then decreases by 1 pill each day, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Same basic effects, but doesn't require an injection. Certainly isn't something I'd suggest taking long term.

I've been dealing with a back problem for almost 30 years now. Been through physical therapy, massage therapy, traction, chiropractic treatment, plus about every combination of pills imaginable. Given the choice between another 6 months of PT, 3 times a week, or taking a pill for a week, I'd rather spend $10 on the pill. Quicker results, cheaper and just as effective.

The doctors prescribed me NSAIDs for years, with no effect, unless I wanted to risk kidney damage from ridiculously high dosages. Now, about every 3 years they'll prescribe me 6 or 7 days of the steroid and I'm mostly pain free for a few years.

On my third day in the hotel, I woke up feeling relaxed, so decided to put on my BIG BOY PANTS (copyright Mr Enternational) and walk down to Santa Fe. By the time I got closer though I was feeling pretty nervous, It was midday on Saturday, so maybe not the best time for a lot of choice of chicas? But the selection on the street was actually pretty desperate! Looked more like a scene from the Star Wars bar and I couldn't get out of the place fast enough! Must have only seen about 15 chicas on the streets there. I think for me to take a chica to a room there, she would have to be pretty stunning, so uncomfortable as I felt in the place.

You're about to discover not all Colombian women are attractive or worth fucking. Also, you went to their crack town to find pussy. The barrier of entry there is very low.

The first few days I had lots of transport issues. My hotel called me a regular taxi to go to Parque 93, from Taxi libre. The trip was fine, but on the way back I had to call them twice, it was totally over complicated, the first guy didn't show up, then the guy who finally came drove like a psycho in a little wreck with a broken seatbelt back to my hotel half way up the mountains along Carrera 1 / Diagonal. Another time, I stopped for a break at a bistro and asked them to call me a taxi. The chef had just stopped his shift and was an Uber driver. So by default I used Uber for the first time then. Finally got my act together the next day and registered with Uber. For my first ever Uber trip, the driver was a novice and I was to be his first passenger!? No thanks. I cancelled! But since then have used it a few times, and have to agree it's easily the best way to get about this city, cheap and safe!

You don't need to use uber or have someone call you a taxi. You can flag them down, get in, and its metered. There's a chart you can look at and the meter is a code to the chart. If that explains it properly.

Anyway, I've got 3 more days before going to the coast so hopefully I'll have some more adventures to report before then! Will probably come back to town for a few days before flying home too.

I was in Cartagena recently and its not so good right around now. Too many dudes.

Full disclosure: not a doctor, but-.

Besides wiping out joint and back pain, steroids can fuck up your sugar levels and do other nasty shit to your internal organs. Be careful about using them when (strictly speaking) not necessary.

I should have added "ask your doctor for advice."

I agree 100%.

In the long run, steroids will do more harm than good.
Some Doctors are quick to prescribe a steroid. Always question if there is an alternative and if the dosage can be reduced etc.

Had to visit the doctor this week and was given a prescription for methylprednizone. It's a steroid anti-inflammatory drug. Besides wiping out joint and back pain, it also gives me a lot of energy. I've taken it several times in the past.

I don't know if you can get it without a prescription in Colombia. It might be worth a try to help deal with the Bogota altitude.

You most likely will not get a reply.

I posted the site on the map two weeks ago.

It has to be a very new place.

They have a Facebook page for the one in Bucaramanga and a Twitter page.

Mr Enternational, I've already told you why I'm not into nightclubs / stripcubs, who cares what you call them. I might go and check them out when I come back from the coast anyway, we'll see. I walked around the whole area in Santa Fe. I've been to many places in the world and have reported my experiences. I'm not apologising to you for asking a lot about Bogota. I have reported the where and when of my experiences. And like I said, I don't particularly care if the daytime scene in Santa Fe isn't what it used to be. I know what my taste in women is from personal experience. Anyway, you're just looking for negatives and I'm already bored of writing this reply!

[Mr Enternational]

What are you talking about, nightclubs ? I realise now that I'm here that I've grown out of the nightclub scene. It's not that I'm afraid at all, where did I write that? But why spend a ton on drinks, go through all the hassle of taxis, touts and having to fob off all the ladies who don't interest me, for maybe 1 who does ?

LOL. Like I said, justifying your assumptions. How would you know how many interest you if you have never been? Don't know where you get the idea that you have to spend a ton on drinks (I think in my last report I said I paid 8K for a beer and heck it is free to get in) and fend off touts and ladies either. Just go see the stuff. But hey, it is your trip.

P. S. I think the title nightclub in a conventional sense is a misnomer. It is just a brothel with music and naked chicks dancing on the stage. So it is more of a strip/fuck club than a night club.

Quite ironic that it was because of a video posted on youtube of the area that I wanted to come to Bogota in the first place! The area seemed much tidier and the chicas were way better looking on those videos!?

You have to explore a place. Your report made it seem as if you arrived, peeked around a corner, and made haste to leave. The place is a few blocks big, so I don't think you can judge by one corner; especially when it is unknown which corner you were even on. I definitely would not consider any corner "tidy" whatever the case.

I always say a quality report contains where, when, and how much. A couple of months ago in the Medellin thread a guy asked a million questions and had a bunch of concerns same as Coupe. He went to Medellin and said what a shitty time he had. In the midst of all his concern, he forgot to ask or research the when. So he was going to casas at the time he should have been going to strip clubs, and going to strip clubs the time he should have been going to bars. He was all out of sync and wondering why places were closed or only had a couple of girls working.

When you look at a video you must remember that you don't know when they shot it and much like ISG posts you do not know the taste of the person that posted it. A million guys have talked about how they don't like Asian chicks. Then they get over here to Thailand and are like this is not what I expected. Exactly. Because experience is the best teacher and you can not go of the viewpoint that someone else put on display. You have to establish your own viewpoint by means of a thorough vetting of a place.

[Coupe66]

Here we go again. Dude. You went all that way from Europe. Go see and stop assuming things and trying to justify your assumptions. Try to go with Woodman or something if you are still afraid.

Been there and done it too much in the past. If I can find a few cuties who give me what I want in daytime places and the internet, why bother ? I don't need to see every working chica in Bogota !
