[QUOTE=Delta Pilot1]Hey Ricker,

Are you a lover of his? Sounds like it. [/QUOTE]You got it Delta, we're lovers, you're a genious!!

[QUOTE=Delta Pilot1]... Jealousy, do not have a ounce of it in my body, but it might be a problem of yours. Now go on and do what you do best, and post about how great you are, how long you have been visiting Colombia, and how you are the Rico Suave of Colombia and Brazil.

... It has no bearing on me what so ever, other than the fact it is sad, someone has to continually brag about themselves on an internet forum.[/QUOTE]Sure glad we have you to point out everyones's deficiencies.

Wonder what's more sad, me bragging about my adventures and how cool I might think I am, or you and your put downs and jealousy.

Boy, that's a tough one.

[QUOTE=Matt Psyche]Do I need to purchase and use a voltage converter if I want to use my laptop computer, which is for the voltage/frequency in the U.S., in Colombia?[/QUOTE]All the laptops and cell phone chargers have dual voltages 110 ând 220V.
so no need for transformers anywhere in the world, only plug adapters. But in Colombia it is the same as in USA - you do not need to buy anything extra for Colombia.

[QUOTE=Matt Psyche]Do I need to purchase and use a voltage converter if I want to use my laptop computer, which is for the voltage/frequency in the U.S., in Colombia?[/QUOTE]Look it up.

Is there a beach worth visiting in Colombia?

I mean a real nice, Caribbean style beach.

Thanks,

EQ

Gentelmen. I'm planning on a "first" time trip to Colombia. I'm an old time whorist, monger, "Puto Velho" etc. I've lived in Thailand about 10+ years then discovered Brazil. I 've been out of the loop due to a 4 yr. Relationship with a Brasilera. That didn't work out cause I refused to buy a house there. I been to Cambodia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua. My Spanish is poor but, I'm working on that now. So guys help me out. Medellin or Cali for the "old newbie"?

[QUOTE=Matt Psyche]Do I need to purchase and use a voltage converter if I want to use my laptop computer, which is for the voltage/frequency in the USA, in Colombia?[/QUOTE]Many countries outside the US use 220 volts, but Colombia, like the US, uses 110 volts. So you don't need a voltage converter. In any event, if you look closely at the converters (chargers) that you already have for your laptop and cell phone, you will see that they accept input of 100 to 240 volts. In other words, you already have the converters that you need for any country. You may need a simple adaptor, depending on the configuration of the wall socket in your hotel. I always carry a three prong (grounded) to two prong (non grounded) adapter with me. That's a 50 cent item at your local hardware store. And I would suggest a short extension cord.

[QUOTE=Delta Pilot1]Hey Ricker,

Got word you work for American Airlines, so that explains some things. ;) I am out of Atlanta as you might expect. In response to your post below, you much have a comprehension problem, as I stated I do not have a jealous bone in my body. I just do not like braggers like yourself, or posters such as Hilltopper being a hypocrite when it comes to tipping. I had my say, so now it is time to move on.[/QUOTE]Heya Delta,

I´ve been posting on this board for a while and have seen antagonists come and go. Figured you were just another one.

Obviously I don´t know you or Hilltopper in person and I should have stayed out of it like I normally do.

As far as me being a "bragger", I re-read some of my later posts and I can see how that comes across.

Like I said, I´ve been posting here for a while.

At first, years back, I used this forum to gain info about places because I was new and green.

Later on, as I got smarter and better at all this SA fun, I became a poster of good info.

Maybe lately I´ve evolved to not posting much info really and just boasting tales of my adventures, hence the bragging.

In reality I´m not like that at all, matter of fact I don´t really like that type either.
If you´re thinking that about me, I´m sure others are thinking the same.

Think I´ll just enjoy myself in my travels, like yourself I´m sure, and I´ll keep my boasting to myself.

Safe travels .... Ricker, also moving on

Thanks,

EQ[/QUOTE]A short way from Santa Marta is a beautiful natural park with very nice beaches with clear water.

RomanceLatina is a great site to meet Colombian women. Here's the link

[QUOTE=Bango Cheito]I'm replying to a topic being discussed in the Medellin thread right now.

If a girl accepts 5k or some other ridiculously low amount to have sex with you. TAKE IT! It's HER problem if she's undercharging NOT yours.

Don't pay more than 50k to have sex with a girl in Colombia unless the girl is AMAZING, unless it's outcall, unless it's LT, or there's a massage included or other special circumstances. Standard prices in Bogota are 30-50k and that's in Bogota.

A maid gets 25k a day here. If your place is filthy and huge give your maid 30k. NO MORE.

DO NOT TIP PEOPLE HERE! That includes the wg's your maids and ESPECIALLY taxi drivers. Stop fucking with shit you have no clue about.

Some of your attitudes frankly make me want to vomit. If I find people in MY town going out of their way to kill the local market I will PERSONALLY make it my mission to make every last WG in town think you have incurable gonorrea or hepatitis or something. Or I may resort to even worse measures. WTF is wrong with you guys with this stupid fucked up gringo mentality. Play by the LOCAL rules while you are here or you are not welcome!

I stopped contributing a long time ago to this section precisely because of stupid shit like this. Pearls before swine.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Menteng]Maybe the Colombians I see are of a different breed, but your generalisation is like stating that Colombians can not drive. I don't know about the casas because the possible tipping will take place in the room, but in stripclubs the Colombians do tip the dancers in plain sight.[/QUOTE]I wasn't referring to dancers. Yes, some Colombian guys tip the dancers. But the Colombain guys do not tip the girls in the room after sex.

Colombians do not tip in many situations that Americans do tip. This is one of those situations. There are plenty of other situations.

As just one example, Colombian guys do not tip after getting a haircut.

As another example, Colombian guys do not tip taxi drivers (unless baggage is involved).

There are countless other examples.

I sense your mood and understand. We all feel like we stepped over our own guidelines from time to time.

I'd say take a break but don't quit contributing completely. Your expertise is needed and valued.

Like that time we outed that women beater on the Brasil board.

Can't help but think that may have been a van der sloot type.

All the best and keep having fun. I know you will.

The boys on this board can be tough at times. I know I have gotten slamed a few times myself.

Anyway take heart and don't disapere as others have done in the past.

Funny you have said that you should of stayed out of it. Everytime that voice tells me similar thoughts and I don't listen then I always later on wish I did.

Take care Amigo

They tip when paying the bill in one of the bars/fondas at La 30/33 or the fondas in Envigado; they tip when paying the bill at steakhouses like San Carbon. They even tip when paying in our small neighbourhood bar. But maybe because they don't live in the estratos 1, 2 or 3. They can afford it, like the mongerers who pay hundreds of dollars to get here or being an expat in Colombia with a huge salary and not turn miserable after enjoying good service, a good meal, a good night-out etc, etc.

Bottom line, tipping is something personal, but don't use false excuses for not doing it. My final words on tipping in Colombia.

[QUOTE=Reefski]I used to be a member but I never followed up when I've been in Colombia. Too many chicas, too little time. I'd be all over it if I lived there full time.

I still check it out occasionally. Seems like quite a few girls have posted videos which looked suspiciously like room 7 of the Mansion. I'll let you make the call.
