Posts: 533Got to love Bogota
Just finished a wonderful session at my apartment with this young college student who is doing nursing. She was a very sweet and very attractive girl who can melt the heart away with her smile. Very GFE and affectionate.
I have many more such girls in my list than I can handle at this time. Got to give it to Bogota, well except for the damn weather.

As for 4000 being a convenient rate from an ease of calculation perspective, I definitely agree. Last week, I took that rate to convert peso prices to dollars and just rounded up a bit, but I'd much rather see it go back up over 4000 and have to round down. And if things really get as bad as some pessimists are predicting, well the silver lining will be that it is at least good for us gringos (except to the extent that also comes with local inflation) and if it gets really really bad (meaning good for us from a dollar perspective) we'll just have to come up with some other easy way for estimating costs in dollar terms. After all, it's just as easy to divide by 5000 as it is by 4.

In any case, it is easier to mentally calculate any amount in COP to USD when it is divisible by 4,000 for me.

It is pretty obvious to everyone that the money going to Asia is now finding its way to Latin America.
This is escort rates around the world but it is pretty interesting: https://vividmaps.com/price-of-sex-around-the-world/.
Colombia averaged $60 an hour for escorts. It looks like the cheapest place there is.

Posts: 533Conversion Rate at ATM
Today I am already getting a conversion rate of USD 1 to 3,192 cop at ATM. Cop will probably get weaker after the new guy takes over in August, but it will depend on the makeup of his cabinet, especially the finance minister. That will provide guidance on what the direction this country is going to make.
On a side note, many of the chicas that I know and who are in my contact list seem to be rooting for this guy.

To compare Joe Biden in any way to a former socialist revolutionary guerrilla is patently absurd. Frankly, this whole labeling of Democrats as Socialists is patently absurd as well.
The most that mainstream Democrats in the US have even talked about is 1) a PARTIAL rollback of the Trump-era corporate tax giveaway (to a top rate of 26.5% vs the 35% rate pre-2018), 2) an increase on the top marginal rate for individuals making more than $25 MILLION/yr (idk about you but I don't make that much) and who, for the most part, pay proportionately little if any taxes compared to more typical Americans due to the tax shelters available to them and the loopholes written into the US tax code by their lobbyists (last year Jeff Bezo's effective tax rate was <1%) and 4) a treatment of the capital gains earned by mostly wealthier individuals to the same way we currently tax wages which are the main source of income for poorer and middle-class Americans.
Regardless of whether you agree with any of that and MORE TO THE POINT, those proposals haven't gone ANYWHERE and EVEN IF they did it is highly doubtful they'd cause the capital flight from the safe-haven economy of the US that Petro's much more radical proposals could cause in a fragile economy like Colombia's.
So let's get a grip.

While we're on the subject of things you might not know, the Colombian Constitution allows citizens to own guns, with a permit. Granted, the number of permits issued are often restricted and I doubt if "I want a gun" is considered a valid reason to request a permit. If it's still there, there's a store which sells guns in Oviedo mall in Medellin.
Most of FARC disbanded after the peace agreement was reached. A small number, mostly paramilitary groups and narco traffickers remain active. In 50 years of active civil war they failed to control any significant portion of Colombia. It seems unlikely that a smaller, less supported group will suddenly develop the military power to overthrow the existing system.
I guess I missed the destruction of the US government. It appears to me that it's continuing to function as inefficiently as ever. I'll try to be more aware in the future.
The only thing that's always the same is the "Chicken Little" approach which you seem to use for everything. The sky isn't falling, and it's not about to start falling. Petro will probably make changes to the budget, giving a higher priority to some things and a lower priority to others. There will be a few minor fluctuations, the same as happens after every election in almost every country. Otherwise it will be no different next year than it was last year.

Posts: 57I booked an Airbnb at the intersection of Carrera 7 & Calle 82. How's that location? Based on the map list, it's a little further away from the action, probably because it's a residential area.
I am wondering if this location is considered safe, and is it easy to access nightlife, restaurants, etc?

From a prostitution standpoint, I would assume they have bigger items to focus on at this time.
