General Info

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2633795]I can explain most of this. However, it's unlikely everyone will understand.

1. Washing your hands is primarily to protect yourself. Unless you work in healthcare or food service, the probability you will infect someone because you haven't washed your hands is low. Washing your hands reduces the risk that you'll stick a contaminated finger in your nose. So whether you wash your hands 20 times a day or once a week doesn't matter.

2. Masks are worn to protect others. Depending on the mask and how well it fits it might give you some protection but that's not the primary purpose.

3. Vaccination reduces the risk you will become infected. It doesn't prevent infection. It also reduces the risk of serious illness or death.

4. Testing works in conjunction with 1, 2 and 3. It's to identify people who are potentially contagious, so they can be isolated to prevent further spread.

5. It's not about you. You might be the perfect law abiding, vaccinated citizen with clean hands. The guy sitting next to you on the plane might not be any of those things. Just recently we had a post about a guy who tested positive, got on a plane, flew to Tijuana and walked across the border because not infecting others was inconvenient.

5. There is a delay between becoming infected and being contagious. There's also a delay between becoming infected and testing positive. Shortening the testing window means less contagious people are getting on the crowded planes or waiting in lines in crowded airports. If a person is infected, but tests negative within 24 hours of their flight, there's a good chance they'll be away from the crowds before they are infectious. If an infected person tests negative 3 days before their flight, chances are they will be contagious before they board the plane.

Concerning the "millions of illegal criminals", I can't help you with that. They only exist within the twisted imaginations of some very disturbed people. However, if you're talking about the thousands of immigrants and refugees, I have some good news. If they've been traveling for months, and they've been exposed to Covid, chances are they either died along the way, or recovered and are no longer contagious. If you're planning to let one of them stick a finger in your nose, ask them to wash their hands first.[/QUOTE]Alas, someone who has read some actual science. Cheers.

Not sure where to post this, but I'll just post it here.

How would you guys split up your time between Medellin, Bogota, and Cartagena if you were going over to Colombia for 2 weeks. 16 days to be exact? I'm a serious monger and want to bang as many hot girls every day that I'm there LOL I was planning to stay mostly in Medellin, but open to suggestions.

I will be out in Colombia from January 1st until 16th.

Would love to hear your thoughts. I'm liking the street girls scene in Santa Fe, Bogota, and not liking the situation going on in Cartagena with the tight restrictions over freelance girls being in the Clock Tower area. I figure all the hot girls are in the side streets or in the clubs.

Looking to hear see what you guys think.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2633795]I can explain most of this. However, it's unlikely everyone will understand.[/QUOTE]The problem is not that not everyone will understand. The problem is that many (a large minority) have no desire to understand as the quote below can attest to. If antivaxxers had their way during the hugely successful vaccination programs of the 20th century, we would still live with smallpox, polio, mumps and measles.

[QUOTE=LatinaLover#1;2633900]And getting 2 Pfizer shots and a booster was bullshit. Brandon and Fauci have lied to us since the beginning. I now need 3 vaccine shots and a one day test to enter my country. But criminals can come and go as they please. How did these two s#it for brains ever get in charge of anything.[/QUOTE]

Hi,

I was in Cali and I got some good and bad experiences. I met only black girls. I like only regular girls, I don't like pros. Even if I would have liked to meet some white girls and stay with her for a week or more, I did not succeed because I am old and I had to pay a lot of the money compared to costs of Cali.

I didn't like all this very much.

If you know other Colombian cities well, could you tell me if Cali is the best Colombian city to meet regular girls and if Cali is the easiest city to meet them? Or are there some other cities better than Cali?

Thank you!

For anyone confused about the more restrictive Covid testing requirements which began today, here's some help.

You're required to get tested within 1 day of your flight. If you are flying out at 10 pm on Wednesday, you have to be tested anytime Tuesday or Wednesday, before your flight. If your outbound flight is very early morning, the distinction doesn't matter much. However, if you fly late at night you have almost a 2 day window to meet the requirement.

Since there are plenty of labs giving results in less than 1 hour, this shouldn't be an issue.

Looking to hear see what you guys think.[/QUOTE]The girls are still in CTG they are not just at the clock tower. All the girls moved to the 1 square block of Space / Dulce and Delirium, yes, even the trannies too so be careful if that's not your thing. But at random times cops come down on bikes blasting sirens forcing everyone to clear the sidewalks. This is where most the girls run into Space, Dulce is picky about which girls they let in since their target audience is guys who like fake ass and tits and that's mostly the type of girls they let in.

Also, many of my Chicas have bene telling me, this is only going on for Christmas so families can enjoy the decorations, after Christmas things will return to normal as 75% of tourists come there for sex, even the married man who brought his family along with him. One chica told me if they stop the girls from working CTG would loose a ton of tourist dollars and they will have no propose of building a bigger airport (the translator app must have translated wrong because I have no idea why CTG needs a second Airport).

Colombia Requires COVID-19 Vaccinations for Travel to Colombia.

Colombia will begin to require COVID-19 vaccinations for travel to Colombia starting on December 14 for those 18-years old or older.

The President of Colombia, Iváand Duque announced this Monday that starting on December 14,2021, a vaccination certificate will be required to enter Colombia for people over 18 years of age.

??? neither does having a vaccination card.

End of quote.

I agree with you that it is in vogue to do this, but I will tell you that Mexico will never require vaccination, and President Duque has said tourism will be Colombia's next oil. It is not farfetched in that Cancun generates $20 billion per year in tourism dollars, and Colombian oil varies but it is in the $10 billion a year area.

If you want tourists though, you do not make it harder on them. Hell, Mexico is way easier than Colombia and Cancun was fucking packed when I went a few weeks ago even after the murders in tourist areas.

I saw an Indian wedding at my Cancun hotel. There were a 100 people in probably 50 rooms dancing outside and spending huge cash on food, drinks, and entertainment. If just one person in the whole party was not vaccinated, they could not have that event in Colombia.

How much did the travel ban cost Colombia? At least they admitted it was pointless. Now the question is how much is this vaccination card bit going to cost them? This is not showing leadership but following the crowd and being stupidly PC.

If you want tourism, you get money and improve infrastructure. In Peru, Mexico, and Ecuador, I rented a car and drove the highways always averaging 60 miles in hour. Hell, Mexico in some parts has better roads than the USA has.

I drove halfway between Medellin and Bogota and averaged 25 MPH. Seriously. And not only that the roads were dangerous to boot. In Cartagena, Bocagrande has two points where you enter into the peninsula like area, and that road is seemingly always flooded and causes traffic jams on the way to the nicest part of the city.

In Mexico, they are building a railway connecting Tulum and Cancun and putting in an airport in Tulum. In Cartagena, they are shooing away the hookers from the clock tower. Which approach do you think is going to win?

And for many parts of the world you need to be vaccinated to get on a plane, so if the country you are going to requires it there is no difference. And I have to be fully vaccinated to get into the USA and many other places. So they are only doing what the US is already doing.

"El segundo grupo (extranjeros que no residen en Colombia sino que visitan el pais por turismo.) tiene que tener al menos una dosis de vacuna para poder entrar al pais tendran que tener una prueba PCR negativa 72 horas antes. ".

In a nutshell, they are saying that us foreigners must have a minimum of one dose of a vaccine [U]AND a negative PCR Covid Test taken 72 hours before[/U].

Am I interpreting it right that us foreigners ALSO need a negative PCR test to enter Colombia?
