The phone you ordered looks like the back doesn't come off to gain access to the sim slots. Looking at the front, around the lower right corner there is a little slot where you can use your thumb nail or something similar to separate the back from the phone.

Posts: 4026I see your point. There isn't anyone like Chavez or even Maduro with national support. Gustavo Petro is the closest Colombian equivalent but in spite of his rebel guerilla past he doesn't support radical land reform or expropriation of corporate assets. I don't honestly think the tourism sector is on Petro's radar because it is such a small part of the economy compared to agriculture, mining, and manufacturing. Over a four year term of a far left administration I would not be surprised to see the cost of chain lodging and airfares increase because of the likelihood of tax increases. I agree there is quite a lot of Duque fatigue. Mayor Quintero had a viable path to be a liberal President but he self destructed with a series of head scratching moves with the public utilities. As a political figure he is a dead man walking.

Posts: 36Parque Lleras bans street walkers?
According to a video posted two days ago by Passport Dog, the local government wants the area to become more family oriented and the working girls banned. In the video it seems to be indeed the case. I am suspicious of his claims for I suspect this is something they are doing for Halloween and once that has passed, everything back to normal. I did not see any other news or comments about this. Any updates would be apricated. I am planning on staying in the area beginning at the end of this year.

1. A blister is worth 1000 words. No that's not a typo. It doesn't matter how many times you tell someone they're going to get burned, they won't listen until they get that first blister. People doing inadvisable things and dealing with the consequences is helpful for others.
2. Equal opportunity. I don't recall you suggesting people don't post about BBFS, other drug use, using testosterone shots, or any of the other potentially risky behaviors. Osteo has as much right as all of us to screw up.
3. Those posts are more useful than many. How much useful information is in one of the "had one of my non-pros come over last night, fucked for 5 hours and she didn't ask for anything?" Too many of the posts boil down to "Worship me because I got laid." While his posts also contain that, there are also lessons to be learned.

What you actually need is just the mobile internet and a phone number to bind some services to. Any communication you're going to be doing in Colombia will be through WhatsApp (at least most of it). You can just setup a Google Voice or some other VOIP service provider that will give you a phone number and setup your WhatsApp to use that number. It will give you an extra layer of privacy.

Venezuela was rockin' back in the day.
Similar to Colombia today actually.
I had an apartment in downtown Caracas.
To me it was the best place on earth, for girls and fun.
Then along came Chavez, and the place went to shit.
Anti-American, economic disaster, high crime, etc.
I had to literally run out of there.

Be careful picking up chicas around Parque Lleras. Do not pay more than 250,000 COP even for the best looking ones. Don't leave any valuables where a chica can get to them. One from Parque Lleras stole my eyeglasses, of all things. The eyeglasses were old and not worth much. Even the case was cloth.
It is usually best to use ATM's to get cash. If your card issuer charges too much in fees, exchange dollars at a cambio. You can search the internet for "Money exchanges Medellin" to check their websites for their exchange rate. Check xe.com for the current exchange rate and use that as a guide. At the cambios, you should receive within 100 COP of the current rate.

That is good yo know about the mansion, I thought I had to rent a room to come in. Wanted to scope it out. I am staying at Duparc, which I think is close.
Any other advice for a first timer in Medellin?
This board has been great. I will definitely post a in depth report!
