Bogota Reports

[BabyTravlerr]

JW Marriott in Chapinero. A friend of mine stays there a lot and has girls over-- he pays guest fees though.

Thank you for the response Woodman. Yes, I saw that hotel. I was thinking about booking it until I saw the $40 guest fee. Looks like its either Love motels or Paying guest fee's. Thanks again for your help!

So I've been doing some reading online and I saw Sofitel Bogota Victoria Regia was "supposed" to be chica friendly, but I'm skeptical because when I look on this website I don't see many mentions of the hotel. It appears that tequendama suites might be my best option, but does anyone have any other hotels they can suggest. It appears it be rather difficult to find a girl friendly hotel here. I'm starting to think just get a decent hotel near the action like a Hilton and go out for my fun. I think I just like the idea of having girls travels to me late at night or if I'm feeling lazy.

Still lots of protests but many people returned to work today, but had to walk home because the Transmilenio stop working early and not on some routes. Looks like a lot less violence, if any today. Things looking better. Still hoping for a late May visit.

How is robbery / vandalism situation in Santa Fe and in the surrounding area?

Santa fe is like sodom and gomorrah, it's pretty much in full swing minus the curfew which a lot of places don't care about. Vennies charging 35 k including room for the most part, the talent here blows veracruz centro out of the water. If you're on the fence gentlemen, and don't mind a little civil unrest, there is great mongering to be had here. Make sure to buy lube at the drug store, it really helps. Went 4/4 yesterday with the help of my friend sidenofilu

I was there about 6:30 Nice Selection -- did 3 -All great! Last one was around 8 with sirens going off.

But it's far from a good time to go. Duque backed off a bit on the taxes thing but there is still a lot of anger in the city. The curfew will continue to limit free travel and my Novia just texted me Bosa is rioting in this very moment because a policeman raped a 12 year old girl in Bosa. Her father has been trying to get to Bosa from the south in his taxi and it has been impossible. Also, the students of the National University are threatening to stage more protests because a student was killed by the police.

I have temporary plans to return to Bogota after Mothers day and before Memorial day but I will need to know it's not going to take me 5 hours to get from the airport to Chico Norte. I'm hoping things get back to normal but I have my doubts.

I'll be heading there this weekend and it looks like I picked the right time. They will be ending the 4:3 quarantine this weekend and we just hit 3800 pesos to the dollar. The government is claiming the virus situation is improving but really it just looks like they are scared that thee riots / protests will turn against them and so have been forced to reduce restrictions. Hopefully things will continue in this direction.

I agree with you, but I would also offer that the government was possibly exaggerating the virus situation to a certain extent.

No quarantaine this weekend but curfew everynight starting at 8 pm, total alcohol ban....and riots everywhere during the day.

Be careful what you wish for. I know further deterioration in the COP makes our hobby cheaper, but if this devolves into complete social breakdown, do you really want to live there?

Stronger $ is good for us but we don't want our turf to turn into another Afghanistan.

[DandyMan51]

Sweet!

And the riots and protests have just about destroyed the little confidence in the Colombian financial standings so the US Dollar is headed north, love it!

I should have my vaccine jab next week, the first one, and can't wait to visit SF with you again Woodman.

Keep the on the ground reports coming as it provides good useful info.

What the military does, and the soldiers are figuring it out now, is fight for the value of the American dollar.

I thought American Military fought to maintain global order and to assert America's status as global police. Do you have any books which show how military helps maintains USD as reserve currency?

[MarquisdeSade1]

We pay for it via our military. I get so tired of hearing that those who blew things up and kill others are doing so for our freedom. What the military does, and the soldiers are figuring it out now, is fight for the value of the American dollar.

They most certainly do fight for our freedom.

Economic freedom.

[Combo]

Only down 2% so far. I've said it many times before that we are lucky in the US (currently) to be able to borrow an infinite amount of money and not have to pay for it!

For now. At some point things will change and likely dramatically. Reserve currency status is not permanent.
