Have not been to Manrique or Aranjuez. I'll have to check those places out.

$80 is not expensive in Colombia for 4 rounds over 5-6 hours, and each round being for 2 people. Unless, you think $80 is expensive for that. In which case, $80 is expensive.
Comparatively, 8 rounds at New Life would be 440.000 COP. I paid 300.000 k, and will probably do so again, this weekend.
That's oral sin condon, DFK, GFE, etc etc.

She said the portero made some off-the-cuff insulting comment to her about how I only pick up the phone when "viejas" AKA putas arrive. Kind of strange, and I'm not sure if I fully-grasped her story. It was the old guy who was a dick when I first moved in about quarantining. She quickly put him in his place about shutting up and doing his job, I guess. I'm on the fence about asking him if there's a problem, etc. As I've mentioned before, at length, I try to stay off the radar. Thus, it's unlikely I'll bring it up.
Cheers.

Posts: 4026That is correct. If you are from an isolated and privileged suburban background Centro is the scariest place in the world.

I cross the US / Canadian border 4 times a week, twice each way. Did it for 4. 5 years up until 3 years ago and have been doing it again for almost 5 months.
The trade war had already significantly reduced the truck traffic at the beginning of February. By my comparison, commercial traffic was about 50% less than 4 years ago. Personal traffic was also down. Since the border shutdown, I've seen 2 cars either entering or leaving Canada. Truck traffic dropped so much I was sent back to X-ray because they were bored and didn't have anything to do. That's literally what the CBP agent told me. My average wait used to be 15-20 minutes, and that's because I time my crossings for the lowest traffic volume. I've been hitting peak traffic with zero wait time.
Truck traffic is picking back up now. It has almost reached the pre COVID-19 level. Still no word on the other restrictions being lifted.
Canada frequently asks if I've experienced any symptoms, the US has never asked. The US didn't start requiring CBP to wear masks until 6 weeks ago. They did go through a period where they weren't taking and inspecting paperwork, Just a glance at the passport card and a few questions to identify you. If anything, the crossing back into the US has become much more relaxed.
Well, for a country that considers itself the best in the world with the best most state of the art health care system, yes, the USA has performed miserably.
In the USA right now, Covid is spreading as badly now as it ever has. It has just slowed down in NYC while everywhere else is seeing huge rises particularly in the South, so much for the heat killing the virus. I am not defending Trump anymore: the rally was bird brained and the slow roll out of testing was awful, and the police issue? Yeesh.
Cases are currently surging in 17 states, including Oklahoma, California and Texas. It's interesting that the states which caught the most flak for their lockdowns have done the best. Look at Michigan. At this point, any hope of the US as a whole coming up with a coherent response is gone.
For what it is worth, I give the USA a see. Once things got serious and the private sector was incentivized, testing kits are now being produced like crazy, and things are being handled much better now. Mexico and Brazil have handled things much worse, but the USA should have done much better.
However, the government response has been a disaster. To make matters worse, the government rhetoric has been counter-productive. There are still people running around claiming it's a hoax, or they're bringing up the flu or Tuberculosis. And they're refusing to take precautions because the government keeps telling them precautions aren't necessary.
There's going to be one helluva hangover from this party.
Colombia is in a pickle though. There total lockdown has meant that Corona has not spread so much, and it means that there are going to be in the primary wave for much longer. I honestly do not know what they are going to do. The latest boneheaded move in Colombia was allowing Black Friday go on where people paid on taxes while shopping, and stores were flooded.
I think we can say now that what Germany and South Korea did is what everyone should follow: massive testing and selected isolation, but I am not sure if Colombia has the money or capacity to do massive testing.
I just people are so fed up with the so called experts saying one thing and then the other. You can find whatever POV you want on masks, distancing, and quarantines, and I think that has led to this fuck it phase.
If Colombia does not have the money or capacity to do massive testing, I really do not what they are supposed to do. Wait for a vaccine, that when it comes will probably be at best 50% effective, and keep everyone in quarantine while destroying the economy?
Up until four weeks ago, the notion that we had all the testing we needed in the USA was bullshit. The reason sports teams are opening up is because there is now capacity to test everyone.
I am just waiting to see more riots here and abroad. I am not sure if Colombia is a powder keg or not. It seems like people are suffering there a lot.

Posts: 24General conditions in Medellin and Casas in Centro
I've been quarantining on a finca in a rural area for the last couple of months and just now looking at trying to get special permission to relocate myself back to Medellin. Curious how things are there at the moment, which of the casas in centro are currently open, and what the norms are these days. Hand sanitizer I assume, but are the girls actually presenting themselves wearing masks, or are things reasonably casual there? In the city is it compulsory to wear masks in public, and if so is that being enforced, are people generally free to move around or is it still pico and cedula and and hour of exercise. Sounds like most are restaurants functioning with takeaways, and most shops currently open, what's the general vibe, things sort of stable and slowly opening more or are people tense and afraid? I have read the earlier reports about Tinder girls, Plaza Botero, the Laureles apartments, all functioning and some reference to the centro casas now be open, just trying to get a better idea of basically what to expect.

Posts: 1507Was in Botero yesterday. I find myself going more often because it is one of the few spots in the City where there is actually some energy and people vibing during the quarantine, other than the times I find myself in the mountains. Was pretty dead with the bars closed and it being a holiday. That being said, there was still some talent out there. In total, probably 25% of the amount of people on a Friday.

Posts: 4026OK, the part about what happened was short. Thanks for that. All this Botero Plaza talk the last few days got me curious again. Today I'm there watching some workers install a new lighted sign one the small pharmacy across from Tostao. I was impressed by their efficiency. Somebody yelling from Botero Plaza at one of the girls at ground zero caught my attention so I moved that way and notice the guy yelling is saying he wasn't going to do anything and she should not have said anything to the police. I get closer and fuck me if the turismo police haven't confiscated a freaking kitchen paring knife from this guy. I'm talking and 8 inch knife. I don't know how you stash something like that without stabbing yourself. Anyway, when I got there maybe half an hour earlier it was obvious that the police presence was way up in all parts of the plaza. I always enter from Parque Berrio where there are usually lots of cops anyway. Today there were more than usual. After the knife confiscation a police helicopter began making passes over the plaza. I had a Goodfellas flashback of the scene when Ray Liotta is all coked up and seeing surveillance aircraft all over the place, except I was not coked up and there really was a helicopter making passes. It seemed like the police might not have been an isolated situation involving Lugnut.
So Pollo, I am pretty sure I know the two guys you mentioned. I regret what happened to your Medellin family. I feel lucky I've been able to keep it simple there. I am with you about hanging out in the park for hours. I don't see the need. I do my business and move on mostly. Sometimes for entertainment I will watch the 3 card monte games because they remind me of Times Square in the 80's. I also get a kick out of listening to the line of bullshit of the con man vendors who sell worthless TV decoders that are supposed to get you all the national stations in perfect HD. When sales slow down, as they often do, they signal a shill who pretends to be interested and asks canned questions. So back to the girls, there is a steady flow of new venecas along with all the old not favorites. Progress on the bench replacement is ultra slow. They are getting replaced at the rate of one or less per week.
