Agree With MM Also (& They Say Politics Divides!)
MM: Great post. You ARE obviously a very smart guy, so you don't need to extoll your own virtues on this board. And we TOTALLY agree on America's dark future and a desire to relocate. And we agree Indonesia is awesome. We merely disagree on the propriety of you posting about how great you think you are here. And this is NOTHING personal about you (have, and will, responded similarly to others who insist on telling everybody how "they are the greatest" (only Mohammed Ali could get away with that IMHO). Good luck to you whereever you settler.
Leo: I KNOW I have the card from Lubricantes, but cannot find it at the moment (though I DID find the cards for Fantasias, Av. 2d Norte 24N-113, 661-5928, which used to be better). Also Afrodita, Av. 2N 44-219 664-5523 and La Castellana, Autopista Sur 46-45 (553-6769).
I DO know how to get to Lubricantes, however. Exit La Clinica and go RIGHT then RIGHT again at first corner. Cross the street to the far side, and Lubricantes is about 1/2 way up the block. You enter through a seamstress shop, then turn left once inside and through the curtain. If I find the Lubricantes card I will post address.
Elverselee: 6 cities (plus San Andres which is NOT a city) . None of the cities is extraordinarily dangerous IMHO (others may disagree) but you need to use common sense and be cautious in ALL (tourist parts of CTG safest, BOG most sketchy). Traveling by land BETWEEN CITIES (except CTG-BAQ) is MUCH more dangerous IMHO.
BJClinton: Despite your attempt to suck up to him, it appears MM does not share your rightwing point of view. You now have 6 posts without EVER discussing mongering in Cali. Congratulations.
Thanks for the hotel link TAMPA!
I may be in Cali during that time also, if I do I'll PM you. I've been to CALI before, but most of the info is in this forum anyway, just read through. Cali is really great for non-pro, your "exotic/foreigness" goes a long way, much more so than Bogota. If you spanish is half way decent, then you're in.
