Burning pesos as opposed to holding them
[QUOTE=JohnGault;2825736]I don't understand why you want to burn the last of your dineros. I just left MDE with about 350 K. On the next trip whenever you take it if you kept pesos then you could skip the ATMs at the airport.
Under 50 K for a taxi in Bog and 98 K for one in MDE. The bonus for me was I got my pesos at around 4800 for a dollar and now it is just over 4100 per buck. After all if you kept 100 K it would cost you a little over $20 US money.[/QUOTE]Thank you, I have been preaching this over & over & I find it amazing the amount of people who have no clue about the movement of one currency v. Another. How hard is it to keep a couple 100 dollars worth of 4800:1 pesos in your passport folder or wherever for the next trip, especially if you know you are coming back!

Going to Bogota in a month and I need help
Hello Team:
I'm going to Bogota in a month. I need help please. I'm looking to stay at a nice hotel that maybe doesn't allow Chicas but is in the happening area. My theory is that if I meet a girl I will just take her to a love motel. I'm not opposed to actually meeting a non pro and having a relationship. Yes I'm crazy. I will be in Bogota for 4 days. I'm looking to practice Spanish and learn about Bogota. I study a Martial Art and I'm going to contact a school in Bogota and request to take a class or if that's not possible at least watch. I'm cautious about Bogota and all the dangers but I live for adventure and I'm going hell or high water. I'm reading every post here and will circle back. I haven't drank alcohol in a while. But when I get to Bogota I'm going to party a bit, not stupid drunk and I don't do drugs. I believe that eagles fly alone but I'm not opposed to making friends.
Peace!!
