You discovered the obvious, sorry to tell you that. ANYWHERE in the world, NEVER accept conversion by the ATM of the local currency to your account currency. It is near to be a scam, but they present it as "so you know for sure how much you will be charged on your bank account". ALWAYS withdraw an amount specified in the local currency. In your bank account, you will be charged the amount in local currency (e.g., COP) converted to your currency (e.g., USD) at the international interbank rate (you see it on XE.COM or Yahoo Finance) plus some 1.5% fee charged by the international circuit (most commonly Maestro/MasterCard or VISA) plus some fixed fee your bank may charge (some banks waive that).
As it was stated many times in the board, if you avoid currency conversion by the ATM, withdrawing money from ATMs can be more convenient than changing cash.
The same holds when you pay with your credit card. In many countries (and Colombia is one of those), the paying device has an option "accept conversion to EUR (or USD, whatever is your native currency) YES / NO". NEVER accept conversion. ALWAYS pay in COP. The nasty point is that many waiters in restaurants do not understand the difference and will select YES for you, thinking to do a favour to the customer. Always check and be sure they select NO. Sometimes, I had a strong discussion with the cashier in various places, even in places as Carbon de Palo supposed to be used to deal with foreigners, and I was rerely able to convince them that if they select YES I am going to pay some significant extra money to the bank.
It is good you raised this point, as many people are totally unaware of this.

The porteros are not policemen. They have no connection to the Colombian national police. They work for a private security company. The job description is unarmed security guard. One of their duties is to control building access.
How they control access depends on the building and sometimes on the apartment. Some buildings check the seeédula. Some make copies or write down the info. Some will call to tell you you have a visitor. Some have an intercom system. Some limit the number of visitors or the time when they are allowed.
If you are going through Airbnb, read carefully and ask about the visitor policy. Better yet go through one of the companies that cater to mongers.

I arrived in Bogota tonight and went to the Banco de Bogota ATM in the airport. It seems these mfs have start trying to pull a trick that a few banks in Thailand have been doing the past couple of years. You key in how much money you want then it pops up on the screen an amount with them offering to exchange your currency to pesos. ALWAYS SELECT NO unless you like getting fucked instead of doing the fucking. They will charge you 7% exchange on top of the 13,000 fee if you select yes. When you select no the money just comes out normal and you get the rate that your home bank is giving you.

Posts: 586I arrived Wednesday and now have one more day until I leave on Monday. It has been a good trip. I do not have a lot to report, as the girls I've seen are non-pros, with the exception of one. I had to work hard to cultivate some of them, but it's paid off. Found a new one. She just turned 18 about two months ago. Nice.
Lots of girls still working hard to get dates. I told almost none of them that I am here, but somehow the word leaks out and the messages start flowing.
I went out last night with a fellow monger for some drinks at Lleras Park. He and his friend had invited about 10-12 girls. Obviously all of them were putas. I had been with one of the before, and she looked the best. She works out a lot! A couple of the others are friends of mine on facebook, but I've never pulled them.
Lleras Park got closed down early (at 11? Think they had too many customers. So we went to the Casa Blanca in Prado. What a dump. Used to be a low-end strip club. Now it's just a local bar with working girls hanging out. But it stays open late. I was the only gringo in the place (my fellow monger is a gringo Colombian). Never worried about my safety inside. Good distancing. Doormen handle the taxis. Girls got ripped. With booze and tussi. Got some nice grinding in with a couple of the betters one, but had already decided I was not pulling anyone since I had a 10 am Cita. Got a few numbers for next time. I'm not into tussi or other drugs, so that was a turn off. But if I'm going to fuck them for a few hours in a controlled environment (my apartment), that won't be an issue.
Trying to figure out which two to see tomowwo. Have to make the best of it.

Posts: 586Totally agree. I know a chica who is well known to many on this board. She co-owns her little house with her mom. But she obviously has not legitimate job, she does not study, and she has no proof of any income. She, like many, used a visa service who lied for her. Putting her address in a better barrio, claiming she had a job, etc. But she still got denied. Despite the attempt at fraud.
There are a few chicas in Medellin who have a tourist visa for the USA Facebook girls. I cannot recall who, other than Maroly Garcia who has traveled to the USA Often (she had some gringo with contacts in the USA Government help her out).

Some people on this form are all about privacy. For example I only revealed my location after 190 posts. And I diidn't make clear which city I was. And well yeah I think in Columbia people say "edificio" for apartment complex In the building and for a housing complex the say "condominio. " Yes that's true I just pick a similar word in English not the best translation sometimee. And I didn't bother replacing the u within O when I wrote Colombia. In the previous sentence.
Also, a Portero can be just a man that stays up all night at the gate.This man is trained to open tthe door and communicate through the sitofono But in some apartments buildings and condominiums this Portero is actually a police man who is trained in school and later in the Academy and they wear a policeman uniform and often like all policemen they are allowed to carry weapons. So the word Portero can mean 2 types of watchmen.
I'm not going to make it easy for anyone to slip something into my drinkNor scam me. I despise this type of criminal and I think I can outsmart them. I look for dates with girls who have a less "dangerous" profile. It's a little bit more expensive. But since I made only a few dates. Money spent remains low. Also I don't go to bars which are also locally places where people get drugged. I even met a hard-working educated man that played semiprofessional sport in his twenties and some girls drugged him in a bar.
And I make lousy jokes all the time. I don't give a woman a dollar unless she says before hand that I am her man. Anybody remember that old hip-hop record "I treat a beaach like 7-Up. I never have. I never will." The most I Will Spend on a woman that doesn't Share the pussy is a free walkIn the park and I will buy her a vanilla ice cream So when she eats it she can get all over her mouth and it looks like Seaman. She can have the ice cream. I am appalled at the amount of women on seeking who expect to receive free handouts.
---------------------------------------------
lay down the law, fellas. 25,000 per hour, and I'm doing you a favor, here. And, She can have the ice cream.

Maybe if Jbee2 is in town he could tag along as well.
Just imagine how much fun it would be, kind of like the three amigos on a stroll thru the park. Heck, we could even wear sombreros, I would wear my surf trunks and flip flops, you could wear your white shorts / sneakers and ball cap, and I have no clue what Jbee2 might wear, but I'm sure we would totally blend in with now one paying any attention to us.
A good time to be had for all.
