[QUOTE=CeeJay1;2632611]Did the Botero hotel located behind hotel Nutibara and across from Yakusa close down for good or is it being renovated? I passed it earlier today and it looked like it was condemned.[/QUOTE]Pretty sure it is closed down for good. I was in centro around April, and it was deserted.
[QUOTE=ChuchoLoco;2632447]Last time in Medellin was a few years ago when the airport was under construction / remodeling and there was no duty free after arrival. Is there one now before exiting for a cab? I can also use the ones in Panama if not and anyone ever compare prices? I would like to buy a couple bottles of liquor that are not available in Exito or liquor stores that I've seen.
Also, Where is the Medellin sports bar and any reviews? I saw it mentioned somewhere but can't remember where. Would like to watch the Super Bowl.[/QUOTE]There are duty free stores in MDE between immigration and baggage claim.
Medellin Sports Bar is in the San Peters apartment building, first floor where the Philly Steaks place used to be. It's rather small, but plenty of TV's, and there are female bartenders.
The United States is tightening up on how long before travel into the USA you can take your Covid test. It is going from 72 hours to 24 hours.

I ate breakfast there a few times when it was named something Buffalo after the type of burgers they had. Or maybe it was across the lobby. Small but comfortable and female bartenders are always a plus.

If the new variant is bad ass which they really don't know yet, there could be a redux of February 2020. Things will really be screwed up all over the world. Will know soon enough.

I started getting "an unexpected database error occured" message yesterday and still getting it today. Anyone else or is it something I did?
If it was something I did, any way to fix it? I only discovered the site recently and had been doing a lot of research on it with my trip coming up this week.
Cheers,
Taylor.

The Metro (train) was pack yesterday at around 5 pm from Poblado towards El centro way more than what it used to be. Before it was bad, now its beyond capacity and your not going be able to get off at your stop if your not positioned at the door. Even heading to Poblado from El centro around noon was over packed. Usually it wasn't so packed around noon hours. I'm probaby going to avoid the Metro all togeather and relie on cabs.

However, if you walk to the very end of the platform at the Poblado Station, the cars will be a little less packed as most people try to get in a car as closer to the bottom of the stairs so they don't have to walk the length of two football fields.
[QUOTE=CuriousFun;2632380]Earlier this week I shared a link to a girl and within 24 hours I get a message from her asking if I post it on Facebook that she was a Prepago. The only place I shared that information was on this forum so someone here must have contacted her and treated her like a pro even though I implied she wasn't.
Now I understand why people rarely share contact information. Too bad I wanted to share more this week.[/QUOTE]Did somebody post her on FB, or did they contact her by private message?
If the former, that's not right and that person needs to be outed. But if they contacted her privately and asked about a "date", then that's what the point was of posting her info no? I'm not trying to be an a-hole, but what did you think was going to happen? If she was a non-pro, she wouldn't be going with just anybody who contacts her out of the blue. With all due respect, if they don't wanted be treated like pros, they shouldn't sleep with guy for money.
So is everybody getting their vaccines now that they will probably be required? It's not official yet, but the writing is on the wall, that's where this thing is heading.
If not, you're running out of places that don't require vaccines.
Would you quit the hobby over it?
Just curious about people's viewpoints on this.
