AlaOrde comments on Cartegena: Bangkok of the Americas

This is stupid. I can't believe people on here took the bait. This is an obvious post from someone on http://travelcolombia.ning.com/ In all my time on both boards I have only seen the word prepagos used once and that is on the above site......wow.

AlaOrde comments on Finally: An Authentic Thai Restaurant Parque Lleras="Royal Thai"

This is great information...although I would not go for this on vacation/ I would DEFINITELY be all about it for extended stay use. Love myself some panang curry on fire.

Further that post you reposted on here was so stupid nobody even replied to it over there on the site.

Americans are scum. Really ? Your a dirtbag mothercuker. I'll show you some American scum right here chief. BTW that frivilous link you posted is dead. If you have views maybe you should keep them on your extra special site. I can't believe I am wasting my time on you.

AlaOrde comments on Gringos need to stop wearing shorts, with white shoes and socks in bogota.

News flash......its damn near 20 F here and a wind chill of Zero. I see college students who still wear shorts in Philadelphia ......does it matter if they are a gringo or not? Now skin color or background mattered none to me, as it should with you = Modafoquer. Nor does it matter if they are comfortable who cares. Get a life.

Freetranslation. com is better than google language tools for sure. Although both are not very literal in translations. Further what I found out the other day in a translation question as with any language most translations are not exact. If you are willing to pay though it seems www.freetranslation.com will do it for you and give a quote prior to doing it. Seems your best route for privacy and accuracy.

AlaOrde comments on Translation question.....it's a quick one

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph ; That was amazing Leeroy. did you write the book on Spanish ? Awesome, really fucking awesome. Honestly I am impressed. Thanks alot. I guess from now on I'll just PM you for any questions= LMAO. You hit on tenses, meanings, possible meanings , and impossible translations. Nice. (Hi five)

AlaOrde comments on Translation question.....it's a quick one

Thank you all. It is not the first time it was presented that way to me. So i guess on her part it is either bad spanish, slang spelling, or a combination of both....thanks alot though.

AlaOrde comments on Bentley's hotel, Mumbai, India

Guess what found some more ....seems to be conflicting reports on what people think about Bentlys http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g304554-d320454-Reviews-Bentley_s_Hotel-Mumbai_Bombay_Maharashtra.html

AlaOrde comments on Bentley's hotel, Mumbai, India

Further I really enjoyed this hotel and the price seemed fine to me at the time ....here it is Sea Green South. http://www.seagreensouth.com/ Stayed there twice, great location, great staff, exchange available for money at front desk, breakfast provided every morning, also newspapers. The stay was awesome both times. I intend on going back again for my trip in March. When are you going?

AlaOrde comments on Cheap Air Fares??? To Bombay

Just wanted to let everyone know that the fares to Mumbai are now going back up. Not by much but at least $45-$100 a ticket. So if anyone is interested on reaping the benefits of the cheap fares now is the time to do so.........

AlaOrde comments on Toddler to India

How old? Both trips I was on had kids on teh flight. So it seems ok to do it.

AlaOrde comments on Bentley's hotel, Mumbai, India

I have seen it on multiple sites. Seems ok to me but never stayed there at all.Although every time i encountered wriet ups they were good.

AlaOrde comments on

Belford University is an organization offering online unaccredited degrees for "life experience". The organization maintains a post office box in Humble, Texas, but its certificates are mailed from the United Arab Emirates.[1] That first sentence from wikipedia is just amazing. Most notably unaccredited degrees , my word did he even pass a class or does have a transcript?

AlaOrde comments on A Nuclear Venezuela?

Oh borat your an idiot and your reply stinks. Get a clue. The bombs were used to stop a war that was surely would have been lost. Rather you see communism as good for of government?

AlaOrde comments on A Nuclear Venezuela?

The only scary part is that of befriending Iran and North Korea when it comes to nuclear weapons. Iran claims they do not have weapons grade nuclear materials. As we all know North Korea does. Other than that Russia providing NON WEAPONS GRADE NUCLEAR MATERIALS does not make Venezuela capable of building a bomb. Now with that said the Russians help build the reactors in North Korea and they were able to get a produce a bomb. Russia also helped in constructing the reactors in Iran and many believe them to be capable of making bomb . Although in that case both Russia and Iran say that the latter were not provided weapons grade nuclear materials. Either way if it is for a energy reactor that is different than weapons grade materials. But we can see in two prior cases that the reactors were built and subsequently bombs. All sounds fishy. Though if you are one to believe Russia and Venezuela then there is no problem. Surely we all doubt that. America will never let Chavez obtain a bomb. At all costs.

AlaOrde comments on Cheap Air Fares??? To Bombay

Ya I have been to Mumbai twice and here is how I got there each time (both were extremely luck). 1) In 2005 I bought a round trip ticket anywhere in the world from a kid on ebay for $500. ( the ticket was a thank you for being a frequent flyer) It was my intention to use it to go see my brother in Perth Australia for school. He had only been there for tow months on year tour so I in turn used to see his now wife at the time girlfriend in Mumbai. 2) In 2007 my brother and the same girl got married. Of course they wanted a celebration in India as well. So I read India Abroad as often as possible. I was like what the hell I am going to see if this outrageous prices they post as ads are really true. Well they were my sister and I bought round trip tickets from Newark to Mumbai for $650. I tried the second route again. Seems the best I can get is $950. So I am going to wait it out. Seeing that gas prices are down to $1.65 here in Jersey that must spill over eventually to the airline world. Your probably think why did I ask???? I guess because that is how I stumbled on things before poking around. But thanks for the help.

AlaOrde comments on Cheap Air Fares??? To Bombay

wrong forum didnt use the drop down menu. Guess it can be moved over

AlaOrde comments on Lasik surgery in New Delhi

You can get a good steak there....I have lol. Maybe this could be moved to the India section.......

AlaOrde comments on unbelieveable situation in baq

Of course this would happen in the United States. Why not ask the question about another country. Also noteably Mother Theresa..........

AlaOrde comments on Article on Sex Tourism on the Caribbean Coast of Colombia

Pedro your definitely on point man. Also it was my experience that unlike other countries I have been to the trade was not forced, much more relaxed, and a lot more accepted. Even in comparison to Amsterdam where passports are held against girls will to force them into to the trade. Or even here in Philadelphia where most would think it does not even exist and Asian women are paid just enough to live but not leave or also have their passports taken to keep them from leaving. The girls in Cartagena do not mind it. The money is good. I still speak to her to this day .....3 months later. It is a healthy friendship. I ask her when she is going to move on and get a real job. She simply replies that "si porque necesito dinero para mi beiby para mi cosas necesito trabajar ok" ( MSN conversation) So like you said I think this article may be a little one sided. Although if anyone is held against their will that should be investigated. Finally though clearly some of the girls in the usual places were clearly under 18....not my bag and should not be for others.

AlaOrde comments on Bolivia Slams EU Bid For Trade Talks With Peru, Colombia

Maybe Venezula and Peru should be a little bit nicer to their North American neighbors. It may also help to not steer towards socialism.

no harm meant wear it all out proudly

AlaOrde comments on Where is the moderation?

I say delete that Avitar it is ghastly.

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

Tell them ok. Make sure you don't get the Americano price when you arrive. Get the details. Make sure someone is around when you get off your flight as you will not have a cellphone to call them and don't want to be standing around. That photo will probably not be your room but an apartament is your best choice.

AlaOrde comments on Any last minute suggestions on Cartagena

Mr. Babilla and Babar....two awesome clubs with great people and alot of fun if you like to dance. If you don't like to dance u will by the time you leave there. WIFE FRIENDLY for sure.

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

It seems that most places frown on having women in later on. Old city hotels r generally more expensive. If you bring the women in during normal hours they won't charge you. Seems the concencous is 6pm n later they r then considered professionals. Of course you meet the girl at night then just tell her you will spend all day with her the next day. Make sense?>

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

Nope. Sorry. Try Cartagena Plaza a ride to the old city is only 5,000 pesos. So location is not a big deal.

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

I may have it hold on. I think it was a little farther up in price though. ( checking email now)

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

I agree with Jdixon's comments. I also would like to restate the fact that HOSTELS ARE NOT A CHOICE AT ALL. FREQUENTED BY PROFESSIONALS (PROSTITUTES) AND TRANSIENTS. You will come home with what you brought there and your dignity if you choose to not stay in a hostel.

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

Hostels go by the hour....girls as well ( I've heard -ha)

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

All hostels are guest friendly. If you are thinking to 'meet' a lady for the night they know where to go. Not far from La Dulce etc etc.....let them take you. They go by the hour. So stay at Hotel Cartagena Plaza.

AlaOrde comments on Running out of Options. nyone give a SOLID recommendation

Don't stay in a hostel. Bottom line. I know you didn't want negative replies but that is a definite no go. Hotel Cartagena plaza is ok but no guests you'll have to take your girl to a hostel for the night. Although u def dont want to leave your goods in a hostel for the whole stay. Tell Mariana I said Hi! LMAO
