Cartagena Reports

[TheKnife]

The Knife - is this a bad thing? I will also be in Cartagena during this time. Do things shut down during the elections?

There will be no club action. I have a paisa whi I'm hooking up with so its all good but it could have been better. Oh well.

Does Colombia close bares during election time? I'm there 5/ 20 til 6/4.

Anyone know this? Please advise.

Thanks

I'll be in Cartagena May 24 - May 29, right during the elections and ley seca.

Uribe is going to win in a landslide, much to the shigrin of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and the Democratic party of the United States. Colombia has made tremendous strides during his leadership. When Chavez stirs up trouble with Colombia in the future, unlike our Government, Uribe will stick it to Chavez.
Hell we need someone like Uribe here, instead of Dumbo and Chaney

If you can't speak Spanish and don't have a trusted friend to personally show you around, stay out of every Colombian city except Cartagena. Especially stay the fuck out of Cali.

For the umpteenth time, everything will be closed during Memorial Day weekend because of the Presidential election. Try a different time if you want night life. RTFF.

I am planning on going to Columbia May 19th - 28th. I do not speak spanish but like the women and was hoping someone could advise as to how much english is spoken in CTG. Also, if someone could advise as to how big the scene is in CTG and Cali and also if they reccommend going to Cali / Med without knowing spanish.

Thanks

Tom, for me it is the road a little less traveled, it is like going to Eastern Europe before the wall came down! Now why I keep coming back to your City is another story in itself!

Hey I understand that Fidel, has a special prison just for working girls, have you heard about that?

HH thanks for the caribair link, I'll check it out.

I flew there from Miami in Jan. of 2005 and asked them to stamp my passport. Of course I had permission to go with a university group as part of a cultural exchange program.

I absolutely hated Cuba. Fidel has really fucked things up. And he prohibits prostitution.

For an American to fly from D.R. to Cuba, would you have any Idea?

I have heard, from Santo Domingo DR and maybe Santiago DR, you can fly direct to Cuba. Try ww.caribair.com.do. Other airlines to consider Cubana Air and Aerocaribbean.

Also you can fly directly from Bogota to Havana on Cubana. The ticket desk is located in El Dorado, next to Delta and Continental.

FYI - these airlines know NOT to stamp your passport. They will stamp your tourist card. Be sure of it. I don't have to tell you the ramifications of getting caught by the US gestapo with that on your US passport.

For the record, sadly, I've never been to Cuba. It's a goal, as I have family roots there. Just passing along info collected along the way.

Buen viaje!!!
