Posts: 1782Not many of the girls can speak EN at HM, but its not usually a problem to give a nudge and a wink. Those communications are universal and usually end you up in the bedroom in no time.
The staff though, mainly do speak EN, and of course all the guests do too (nearly all).
WRT to restos near Pqe Lleras. Just use Google Maps. There are doxens and dozens of restos within a few blocks, all walkable. Depends what type of food you want. I doubt my choices would be yours, but I love Zaaika (Indian), Dharma (veggie, great for lunch, near Pqe Poblado).
Chances are good that I will be in Poblado later today. Or centro. Haven't quite decided.

Posts: 309Ordering household items online
I tried to order a washer and fridge online on the Colombian Homecenter website to have it delivered to my apartment right when I arrive in 3 weeks. I'm currently in California and I used my Chase credit card to pay for the items and I got an error message. I was thinking maybe it's the credit card, so I used my Colombian Bancolombia debit card instead and still got the same message. Is it because I'm in the USA and the website is not properly working like it would if I was actually in Colombia? Anyone here have experience with this? I plan on ordering all the big ticket items (furniture, mattress / bed frame, dining table / chairs) online and in advance of my trip so that when I land, the stuff will arrive within days of each other. I already booked a cheap place nearby for a few days while I gradually furnish the new apartment. BTW, lots of affordable stuff online through the Exito and Homecenter pages. I might even try to open an Exito credit card to get the extra discounts, but probably not since that process could be a hassle.

Was this the antigen test or the PCR, the latter is I think more sensitive, and perhaps you best confirm with one before subjecting yourself to the quarantine from a false positive, as you said no vaccine is 100% effective but at least with respect to avoiding hospitalization and death it's pretty close to that. Also since you are vaccinated you may clear this faster than most, so retesting in 5-7 days is not unreasonable I would think, particularly if you don't have symptoms.
This literally is my big concern about travel there at this time where it's running rampant. It can easily ruin return travel plans.

For guys who have not been vaccinated, I strongly advise against coming to Medellin right now. I know there are some other BM's that are going to cry foul on this, but right now Colombia is surging with more daily infections than ever before, along with the new 'variants' which are wrecking havoc in other Countries, even those with high vaccination rates.
And who knows, there might even be more lockdowns, and I hope not. I'm looking at returning in a few weeks but if they start that again I'm not coming.
Any additional information you can share on what you have to do / go through to be allowed to re-enter the USA would be appreciated by all because your not the only one who's going to be in the same predicament, and hell, it might even be me next.
And again, sorry to hear about this and hope your home soon.

Just got my Covid test results for my return to the US. Positive. I'm currently in quarantine at a hotel in Bogota. I've already informed everyone I was in close contact with, fortunately a small number of people.
For the record, I received my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at the end of March. Before all the conspiracy theorists get started, the Pfizer vaccine is only 95% effective at preventing infection. Also due to some of my medications, my immune system is compromised.
As I noted before, I have been feeling pretty run down this entire trip. It is possible I was infected before I got here, and it's possible I was infected after arrival. At this point it's unknown.
Although I don't feel terrible, having to stay in a hotel room for 1 to 2 weeks isn't my idea of a good time.
