Posts: 1209Beware of taxi drivers with counterfeit bills
So this morning I went and hit the ATM and pulled out $600 k COP to have spending cash for the day. Back at my airbnb (I've upgraded from the crappy Centro Hotel) I counted my money and verified the metallic strips on the back of all my bills as I always do. I then had one of my chicas grab a taxi and come over, when she got here I hopped in the taxi and told the taxista to take us to D1 (we needed groceries for the homemade Venezuelan arepas she cooked for our breakfast). When we arrived at D1 I asked the taxista "cuanto le debo?" and the taxi fare was $16 k COP. I paid with a $20 k COP note and the taxista immediately takes it and swaps it with one of his fake $20 k COP notes, rubs it between his index finger and thumb and then hands it back to me saying "no tiene otro billete, este billete parece falso. " Keep in mind I am no newbie and actually had this trick played on me once before in bogota like 2 years ago. So I replied "este billete no es mio, usted me lo cambio el billete" Then he was like "no es cierto ese billete es suyo" and I was like "donde estan la policia, vamos a ver, vamos por la polica" and then he was like "si usted no quiere pagarme esta bien, bien pueda. " then we got out of the taxi and I was looking for a cop but unfortunately there wasn't one around and the taxists drove off. He still got me for my $4 k COP vuelta which is only a dollar, but the way the full scheme works is an unsuspecting person (especially someone with less experience in Colombia) will think it was actually their own note that was fake and then hand the taxi a second bill in exchange for the fake one and the taxista gets over on you twice. So always check your money when you get it from the ATM but the odds of getting a fake note from an ATM are pretty much nil, and if a taxista pulls this shit on you don't fall for it and give him a 2nd bill.

Or go across street to one of the strip clubs. It is not more expensive and easy to make deal with more privacy. Lucky Nuts said there are some cute ones and he is right.

How they tried to rob me. I was close to Hotel Nutibara heading towards Parque Berrio station and was hurrying. The street was crowded, but I'm really good at slipping through crowds. Just as I was headed for a gap in the crowd some guy ran by and cut in front of me. I didn't think anything of it.
A few seconds later there was a guy walking slow in front of me. At the same time I realized the slow guy was the running guy, I sensed 2 guys coming up behind me, 1 on each side. The guy in front pulled something from his pocket, dropped it.
And squatted down right in front of me, causing me to stop. Then he tried to grab my leg and the guys behind moved up to grab me. If they had done it right, they could have held me, emptied my pockets and been gone in a few seconds.
I might be old, but I've still got some strength in my legs. When the guy tried to control my leg I yanked it away, yelled "Get the fuck off of me" and took a big step backwards. The guys behind were too far apart and I slipped right between them. The 3 of them conferred for a second while I watched from a safe distance. They moved off and 10 feet further on the lead guy squatted down again, but there was nobody to grab. In all the confusion they lost track of me, which shows how poorly prepared they were. I'm quite a bit taller than most Colombians. At the corner, while they were looking around for me, I swung wide around them and made it to the metro.

Sounds like a slogan for a commercial and reminds me of the time I was in the Santa Fe area of Bogota, and there was a barker out in front of this one bar who was yelling out that all they had inside were "Paisa"s from Medellin in their bar.
Well most definitely there are street hoe's galore in Centro, yet "putting out" could mean all kinds of things ranging from "bare backing" to the "back door".
Regardless, it's all to be had in Centro.

"You can use a self-test (sometimes referred to as home test) that meets the following criteria:
The test must be a SARS-CoV-2 viral test (nucleic acid amplification test or antigen test) with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) OR the relevant national authority where the test is administered.
The testing procedure must include a telehealth service affiliated with the manufacturer of the test that provides real-time supervision remotely through an audio and video connection. Some FDA-authorized self-tests that include a telehealth service may require a prescription.
The telehealth provider must confirm your identity, observe the sample collection and testing procedures, confirm the test result, and issue a report that meets the requirements of CDC's Order (see "What information must be included in the test result?" below).
Airlines and other aircraft operators must be able to review and confirm your identity and the test result details. You must also be able to present the documentation of test results to USA Officials at the port of entry and local / state health departments, if requested.
Some countries may restrict importation of tests that are not authorized or registered there. If you are considering bringing a USA-authorized test with you for use outside of the United States, contact authorities at your destination for information before you travel. ".
