Hopefully things will continue in this direction.
No quarantaine this weekend but curfew everynight starting at 8 pm, total alcohol ban....and riots everywhere during the day.

Stronger $ is good for us but we don't want our turf to turn into another Afghanistan.

And the riots and protests have just about destroyed the little confidence in the Colombian financial standings so the US Dollar is headed north, love it!
I should have my vaccine jab next week, the first one, and can't wait to visit SF with you again Woodman.
Keep the on the ground reports coming as it provides good useful info.

What the military does, and the soldiers are figuring it out now, is fight for the value of the American dollar.
I thought American Military fought to maintain global order and to assert America's status as global police. Do you have any books which show how military helps maintains USD as reserve currency?

They most certainly do fight for our freedom.
Economic freedom.

For now. At some point things will change and likely dramatically. Reserve currency status is not permanent.

A lot going on in Bogota lately, Pepperspray Days, lockdowns.
I'm just glad the cops stopped the anarchists from burning the bus they destroyed in front of my building. They also pulled up a bunch of bricks from the median divider and were braking those up for ammo.
Just was out and I saw they busted a bunch of upper floor windows at the Attorney General's office and busted a bunch of traffic lights. Not sure what that gets the people?
Most of the street battles were yesterday MayDay, running battles here in downtown. I guess the rainy season has come late this year, could have been worse-- The rain has been pretty heavy heavy and everyday so that helps.
I went through Santa Fe today and there were girls -- not as many, I would say at least 50 in both area-- I banged this 2 of my Venezuelan GFs-- had a good time. Tomorrow night should be in full swing.

If you know of any competent dds as well please list them also (reasonable prices are imperative).
Feel free to pm your name if you want me to tell them you sent me for some brownie points with them for you jajaja.
Look up Dr. Escobar in Bogota near Clinica de Santa Fe (Santa Anna Medical Center) in El Chapinero.

I think the dude is looking for a skin doctor, not a tooth doctor.

First time to Colombia at beginning of April, only a few days. Was planning to MDE, but changed to Bogota due to the curfew at MDE. Got a lot info from the forum prior to my trip, just want to contribute my 1st report on the forum.
Nice update on a first report. Seems like you did your homework and sampled accordingly.
