Bogota Reports

[Prolijo]

...That aside. Prostitution and drugs bring billions of $'s a year to Colombia. No politician's going to change that.

Drugs for sure, but prostitution being a multi-billion dollar industry in Colombia? I seriously doubt that. Methinks because of our own proclivities some here have an out-sized per perception of the importance of our hobby in Colombia. However, I agree with others that the Petro Administration will have much more important issues to deal with. Also, barring their successfully creating more acceptable alternative sources of income for poor women, prostitution will remain a perhaps undesirable but unfortunately necessary means of support for many women in Colombia.

Petro is a m-19 rebel, a student activist who from the very beginning vowed to overthrow the Colombian government. The FARC are already foaming at the mouth in anticipation of the FARC having a prominent place in Petro's government. BTW being mayor of Bogota is a far cry from being president with a whole lot more control over the Socialist policies he will quickly enact. Biden's policies and his SFB choices for government offices and his destruction of the USA government will be mild compared to what Petro and his FARC connections will do to Colombia. It's always the same with Socialist, talk a good game to give the poor for free what they don't have now. The playbook is always the same, garner the support of the uninformed, easily swayed students and the poor to get in power and make things worse for everyone. This is a precursor for what their true intention is. Communism. Pure and simple.

"The goal of socialism is communism. ".

Here's another one by Lenin that is happening here and will take place more rapidly in Colombia because it's illegal for the general population to possess a gun.

"One man with a gun can control 100 without one. ".

Vladimir Lenin.

I'm not sure if you got the memo or not, but Lenin is dead. It happened fairly recently, 98 years ago, so the news might not have reached you yet.

While we're on the subject of things you might not know, the Colombian Constitution allows citizens to own guns, with a permit. Granted, the number of permits issued are often restricted and I doubt if "I want a gun" is considered a valid reason to request a permit. If it's still there, there's a store which sells guns in Oviedo mall in Medellin.

Most of FARC disbanded after the peace agreement was reached. A small number, mostly paramilitary groups and narco traffickers remain active. In 50 years of active civil war they failed to control any significant portion of Colombia. It seems unlikely that a smaller, less supported group will suddenly develop the military power to overthrow the existing system.

I guess I missed the destruction of the US government. It appears to me that it's continuing to function as inefficiently as ever. I'll try to be more aware in the future.

The only thing that's always the same is the "Chicken Little" approach which you seem to use for everything. The sky isn't falling, and it's not about to start falling. Petro will probably make changes to the budget, giving a higher priority to some things and a lower priority to others. There will be a few minor fluctuations, the same as happens after every election in almost every country. Otherwise it will be no different next year than it was last year.

I booked an Airbnb at the intersection of Carrera 7 & Calle 82. How's that location? Based on the map list, it's a little further away from the action, probably because it's a residential area.

I am wondering if this location is considered safe, and is it easy to access nightlife, restaurants, etc?

?? will the cost of pussy go up or down?

Down. Leftist leadership means weaker currency vs the USD.

True, but the vice president is a woman. How influential is she? Traditionally woman leaders crack down on prostitution. Look what happened in Argentina.

From what I understand she may not be that influential. She's an activist, but has not had much exposure outside of that. It is commendable what she has achieved as someone that is a woman, Afro-Colombian, grew up dirt poor, was pregnant at 16 and worked in the gold mines. This noted, according to the wife of my friend she is not seen as intelligent and also 'makes up a lot of words. ' How much of this is truth versus a dosage of Paisa racism I do not know.

From a prostitution standpoint, I would assume they have bigger items to focus on at this time.

Peru as well. However, she's been working with minorities / lower class since she was 13. She'll understand how important prostitution is as an income source, even if she doesn't like it. She's not going to be one of those brigading, virtue signaling types.

Before people freak out over a leftist, just a reminder Petro was mayor of Bogota in 2012-2014. During which prostitution and Santa Fe were alive and well. Just read back in the forums.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any SA chicas they wouldn't mind sharing.

[Woodman09]

Some airbnbs are in buildings with security, but lots are not. Most that I have stayed in are suites attached to the owner's house. I generally will not bring a guest to those, I don't even ask the owner.

In the SF area many buildings with security, Museo Torre and Bacata have a few I have been to many different high rise building around SF that are great.

[Zeos1]

It might be, but there also isn't neccasarily another one that's available for 3 more weeks in the general area that I need to be in that isn't crappy. If I didn't have access to unlimted cell internet I would have had to move though.

All airbnbs that I have stayed in have had a locked front door and 24/7 security that opens it for you. I have only stayed north of Calle 80. If you read the airbnb house rules you can get a feel for how guest friendly or not a place will be. Some clearly state only people that checkin can enter for the duration of the stay. Others don't and I message those ones and ask what the guest policy was. The last airbnb replied back saying it was no problem, but if I get an internet prepaid and got drugged that it was my problem. That security wrote down name and government ID of my guests which is probably good for me.

Since I am still getting used to Bogota and my Spanish sucks I like the building security.

I stayed in dann carlton for a couple of times. Great location, always book for two. Never had different girls coming, but with one girl (my style) it was great.

I agree! Its my prefered soft landing to start my time in Bogota. I like to stay there for 2 to 3 nights, hit the mezz a bunch of times, and meet anyone new from seeking that is less pro / would take offense to a love motel. This way I don't invite them to my airbnb but I don't seem like a player by doing a love motel.

[DonMedellin]

Any recommendations on hotels vs Airbnbs in Bogota? Planning on finding somewhere to stay in Chapinero.
