I have anoyher problem about the my European computer charger and phone sharger is it fitts in the Colombian power plugs pleas if some one know smr thing about this?[/QUOTE]There are plug adapters available everywhere. Get them before you go. Most have all major adapters. Colombia uses same as the US from memory.

Making my 2nd journey back to CO starting Aug 30 into Medellin. Love MDE, but feeling the pull for CTG, I also booked a place via Juan Ventura starting Sept 5.

My question is this: liking to keep my options open as possible, how late can I wait to book an intra-country flight 'tween MDE and CTG? Can I wait till I get there or book ahead via Avianca, Aero Republica, Copa, etc? Last year in June I booked my return flight while I was there, but not sure about airline busy-ness in Sept.

Between MDE and CTG, I fly ADA out of Olaya Airport in the city of MDE. The flight lands in Monteria long enough to discharge and board passengers. I have purchased tickets the day before I left. Olaya is 5 minutes from my apt. in Conquistadores. And there are no rock slides.

Sept. should not be very busy.

My impression is that most of the women there are in the 30-50 age range. I was aiming for the 20 somthings. Did you get much response from this age group (I'm 43)

HAs anyone used Passion.com in Colombia? Its rerelatively expensive for such sites and I think in westewrn countries is pretty hopeless for an average guy due to the large numbers of males interested in sghort ternm encounters. There seems to be plenty of cute Colombian girls on the site . I'm presuming that most of them are pros? Do they typicaly respond to messages? Does one end up paying over the odds?

I also looked at Amigos.com which has tons of Colombian girls but the vast majority seemed just Spanish speaking. Has any English only speaker had luck with this site?

Yes, Apparently, including my multi-post trip report and the 30 photos I uploaded. Luckily, I have it all in WORD, and can re-post it later today.

Hey Gents,

Forgive my ignorance, I will be in Medellin the end of the month and have started chatting up several girls on various sites. My Spanish is basic, I keep coming across a common phrase that all the girls use.... "ja ja ja ja ja ja" What the hell does this mean?

I hate to assume but is it the same as ya ya ya ya in English?

Thanks mates,

That is Spanish for ha ha ha. It is a laugh. Also ji ji ji for he he he. The h in Spanish, as you know, is silent.

I am trying to figure out how to get a Visa, specifically the Temporal Especial Socio so I can start up a small business. I'm a US Citizen -- has anyone else done this? There is an investor visa that requires 100k minimum investment which I do not want to do, but the Temporal Especial visa can be done for 100x the minimum monthly wage (~USD$24k). Any assistance/tips,etc would be appreciated.

This is one site I found that had some information, but my Spanish is not advanced enough to make clear heads from tails out everything here:

I really want to travel to Colombia for mongering. I am looking for pros; I don't have time or patience to wait out the non pros. I respect those that choose non-pros and take my hat off to them, but that is not what I am looking for.

Having said that, which is the best and easiest city to monger in Bogota, Medelin, Cartegena?

Please let me know. Thank you for your help.

Simple, either CTG, beach action or LDV at night OR MDE and stay at Club VIP or the MANSION!

[QUOTE=MiamiHeatLuver]Simple, either CTG, beach action or LDV at night OR MDE and stay at Club VIP or the MANSION![/QUOTE]Sorry to be really dumb, but CTG=Cartegena, MDE=Medelin. What does LDV mean?

Also, if you had to choose one for the BEST pro action which would you recommend?

Which cities are the Mansion and Club VIP located?

Thanks.

Greetings Winner71, Trippstadt and everyone,

The Forum's database crashed a couple of days ago due to a hardware failure. We restored it from our daily backup, but unfortunately we lost approximately 14 hours of data.

My apologies to everyone.

Thanks,
