Bogota Reports

[Mr Enternational]

It means nothing whatsoever that it says 'No Commission'. The commission is in the appalling exchange rate you would get there. I honestly can't believe ANYBODY would change money at an airport, on a ferry etc, it's the same as burning money!

I can't believe those places are even open. Well actually I can, because for some strange reason people still go to them. When I left Peru the other day heading to Colombia I wanted to change some Soles back to USD. The converter on my phone said $231. I figured I would accept $225. I got to the counter and that broad told me $214. No thanks!

just to limit the times I have to keep going to the ATM because of withdrawal limits.

You can do multiple withdraws at the same time. Bank Bogota let you withdraw more than 600 mil at a time.

Hello gents,

How are you finding the exchange rate at the money changer in Bogota airport. The one that says no commission and is just before customs exit?

I'm considering bringing a wad of cash (1 k) with me to change just to limit the times I have to keep going to the ATM because of withdrawal limits.

Using an ATM is usually the cheapest way to get cash when abroad, aside from the low fees, the exchange rate will be the best available.

Guys, if anyone is in town now, what's the weather like?

Do I need long sleeve shirts and a jacket?

Oh yes, I never change money at the airport.
There might not be a commission charge, but I am sure the exchange rate will not be good.

Always need a jacket, if you're getting out at night in Bogota. I prefer short sleeves, but the locals mostly stick to long sleeves.

I can't remember what it was last time I was there, but it's not a very good rate. If you're going to be in Bogota and want to exchange a lot of dollars, there's basically a money exchange mall. I believe it's around Calle 129 or somewhere in that area. Probably 25 or 30 exchange places all in one spot.

Make that Calle 127 at Carrera 15. Right across the street from CC Unicentro.

Honestly wanted to pay for the premium membership but some guys are here too unfriendly. I just expressed my opinion about some hookers but some guys started attacking me like I'm talking about their wives. I'm here to contribute into the forum but some of you guys make new members hesitate write anything here. Not saying I can't argue, but what's the point of arguing with some people that you don't know anything about them. In other forums people encourage you to write here people indirectly tell you to shut up.

Most of the people here are quite friendly. I've met quite a few and found just about everyone to be decent guys.

However, most of us are rather blunt. That comes across as harsh, but it's not intended to be an attack. It's intended to be an eye-opener.

When I was 18 and fresh from boot camp, I went to Milwaukee with some friends. Drinking age was still 18 in Wisconsin. We started bar hopping and around 2 am I found myself alone in definitely the wrong part of town for a Wonder bread white, farm boy from the sticks. The bartender brought my beer and said something like "you don't want to stay here. " It was harsh. He wasn't trying to be mean. He was letting me know, I was about to become a victim. I covered about 20 blocks in record time.

If someone seems like they're being mean, it's probably because they see you setting yourself up for trouble.

Let me make it clear, I'm not complaining why people in Colombia speak Spanish. Who does that? I'm just saying as I have been to more than 10 non-English speaking countries, I always noticed people who are in sex industry can speak a little English even in Cambodia. Now you might say Colombia is different alright, it might be different, just say that! But you guys attacked me like I've complained about why they don't pay me to fuck them in ass.

Someone here asked about who attacked me, you are right you don't see those posts anymore because seems someone deleted them, they were written by Nyahbinghi83 and someone else.

Thanks ShooBreee for responding to LatinaLover#1.

I went to Attraction Spa 3 weeks ago located on Carrera 21 #53-35. There was a blonde Paisa there (19 years old). She had an 8. 5 face and a nice petite body. Session cost me 100 k. I went back there today to repeat but sadly it's now closed. A kid who works at the bakery next door said they moved somewhere else and doesn't know where.

Can you point out in which post you were attacked?

Hey, this is an anonymous forum, attacks mean absolutely nothing which you will see for yourself the longer you are on here. Just ignore them.

I kinda agree with you. There are too many haters on this forum, but you went in misinformed regarding Colombians English skills and Santa Fe isn't a place for high end girls nor English speakers.

Nothing more frustrating than to hear a gringo complain about Spanish being spoken in a Latin country, especially in SF. Most are from poor families and are not university students. You may find a student here or there but not likely. Learn some Spanish, you can start with 2 words,
Cuanto cuesta?

I have yet to see anyone complain that they speak Spanish in a Latin country.
