calipro comments on Note to Gringos Marring barrio girls

here in phoenix arizona the term barrio is slang for poor neiborhood.

calipro comments on Note to Gringos Marring barrio girls

"theflatline says on Oct 9, 2009, 16:29 (today): flag Calipro, Plenty of girls in Colombia that you can date that do not need housing, feeding, or dental work" But there are plenty you can date that do....I thought this thread was about the poorer variety. Sure you can bang the poorer chicks without giving them a thing but it is hard to take it past anything but causal sex. Some of those chicks really can't afford to be faithful unless you are helping them out somewhat. But once they move in and are at your bec and call 24/7....you really should take care of them.

calipro comments on Note to Gringos Marring barrio girls

I despise colombian families that lean on and take money from their youngest daughters especially when there are older bothers and sisters that don't work and contribute nothing. I will not permitt any woman that lives with me to support her family with money. The way I look at it I'm already doing them a favor by educating, feeding, housing and dental work....while they the family hand no plans to provide for their youngest daughter in anyway....everything and I mean everything including the money my girl used to provide to their household income when to the oldest son. To hell with the Colombian families that use their children for money and never ever asking what they had to do to get it.

calipro comments on High speed internet service in Cali

hmmmm I thought 380kb was .38 mb. and the metric system was in multiples of 10. Anyway what do you pay a month for your business plan.

calipro comments on High speed internet service in Cali

tannedincali I can't believe that you got 2.65mb/s upload with TelMex. If I even got half of that with them than I would be very happy. I tried to get them to come out and do something about the pitiful up load speed and they told me that residental plans have a max. of .4 mb/s upload and they showed me where it said so in the contract I signed. Do you have a business plan?

calipro comments on Any PBHers able to help? Need someone with a Colombian Credit card

viajero Avianca charges more for someone using a foreign credit card. However It doesn't matter what card you use if you are in Colombia at the time of purchase and go into one of their offices. He could have one of his many trusted girlfriend's go into anyone of the Avianca offices and make the purchase in cash and thus avoid the gringo tax. Remember she'll need your passport number and expiration date if it is for international travel.

calipro comments on How do I book a reservation with Isla la Pirata on Rosario Islands

If I were you I'd skip Isla de Rosarios...it's just not worth the boat ride. If you have a significant other I recommend Isla Palmas for a min. stay of two nights. It takes about two hours by boat but is much, much nicer than Isla de Rosarios. Just make sure you bring someone that you like to spend quality time with as it is a private Island and the only people on the Island are the hotel guests.

calipro comments on I'm going to Cali in a couple of days.

Greg I'm flying from Phoenix. Most of the gringos that I hang out with in Cali are older than me and that's alright. I do however have an apartment in La Flora so we can meet somewhere in the middle like Palmetto. give me a call when you get down...my cell # is 314-654-2475

calipro comments on SPIRIT Airlines sucks!!!!

azunoman "pardon..but buying a one way ticket on spirit..others...from Colomiba has been in fact discussed on PBH, at nausea. In fact there isn't anything about flying, tickets, visa's that has not been covered about fifty times..... so drop and give us 30, and add 20 more for having a blank profile..." I don't believe my friend reads poorbuthappy...I don't believe it is legal for a foreigner to enter Colombia without a return ticket but that didn't stop Spirit from selling it to him. Common sense dictates that if they sell a oneway ticket to a destination they probaby sell a oneway ticket back...so I think they should at least mention that fact on their website instead of depending on poorbuthappy to spread the word. jajaja

calipro comments on SPIRIT Airlines sucks!!!!

The one fifty pound bag limit is all over the Spirit website...I don't know how you could have missed that one. But I have a friend that bought a oneway ticket to Bogota on Spirit and then once he was in Colombia was not permitted to buy a oneway ticket back to the States. He had to buy a round trip ticket to leave the country. Now they don't tell you about that one!!!!

calipro comments on Cedula de Extranjería

azulviolet Gator is correct...assuming you are a colombiana you can get your husband a spousal visa in Bogota in one day and a cedula extranjeria three days later....It doesn't matter how long you actually stay in the colombia...getting a cedula depends on having a visa that is longer than a year.

calipro comments on VIOP guys . . . Bogota DID's are now available!

Just purchase a DID so my girl in Cali can call me whenever she wants for free. Says it can take up to 48 hours to activate...I'll let you guys know about the sound quality once I use it.

calipro comments on VIOP guys . . . Bogota DID's are now available!

GregYhon I looked at the the website VOIPRaider.com and it looks like a completely different service than didww.com Does your website offer a service that allows you to setup a local number in Cali that will ring an american cell phone in the states when dialed. That kind of service would be very vauble to me. I also didn't find the service available in Bogota on didww.com either.

calipro comments on Should i go to Cali colombia?????

guapochino I don't know what your motivation for going to Colombia is....but if it is women.... you'll be well served to give Cali a long and hard look. The women here are beautiful and very easy to meet and date. I don't know when you are planing on going to Cali but if you want to hang out with guys that know the city well then give me a call at 480-612-2264. Calipro

calipro comments on Transfer USD 50.000 to buy a house in Colombia and Formulario 4, etc

Harold I don't know what bank you are wiring the money to in Colombia or whether it is your colombian bank account or the sellers. I purchased an apartment about five years ago and the only thing that I needed to file the form 4 was the 'compraventa" (buyer sellers agreement). I have a feeling that the reason that they are asking for proof of where the funds came from has a lot more to do with whether or not they will accept the wire for 50K at all and has very little to do with the filing of the form 4.

calipro comments on Looking for Private Room w/private bath in Cali for 1 month

When are you coming down and how much are you looking to spend.

calipro comments on How dangerous is Medellin becoming?

Simon is right !!! Medellin is a very very dangerous place....you better come on over to Cali and hang with us over here.

calipro comments on Apartment for sale in Rodadero Santa Marta

It's a fire sale!!!!! so he has to wait until they put the fire out........ before he can post the photos. hehehe !!

calipro comments on Pereira Inquiry/Note Again

Pereira is certainly cleaner and the down town is much nicer than Cali's. I drove there a couple of weeks ago which is my third trip there this year. I don't look like a colombiano at all and had no problems what so ever. The women are friendly as Calenas and with the stunning good looks of Paisas.

calipro comments on Cali, avenida sexta

http://www.caliplaza.com/html/cali_plaza_hotel_rates.html Website says $60 a night with all taxes included. If it is really chica friendly they probably won't charge $$$ for each chic you take up to your room....might turn out to be one hell of a bargain for the guy that bangs 3 chics a day. hehehe !!!

calipro comments on Cali, avenida sexta

Avenida Sexta is a dump....forget Blues Brothers also unless you have date because it is pretty dead lately. Move over a couple of blocks to Granada...much...much nicer. They have a couple of new bars around Calle 17 and novena. One is called New Orleans and the other one across from it has a British Flag and it is nice also...both have live music.

calipro comments on

Paisa/Calena/Luver I hope you mean you have "all the grass and ass you need in South Beach". I went out party with my friends here in Scottsdale AZ for bike week and almost gagged watching my friends get drunk and kissing fat gringa hogs. Thank god I'll be back down to Cali next week.

calipro comments on

Jeff Take your girl and go to Santa Marta or some vacation spot. I was in Cartagena once on semana santa and it wasn't bad except for the night before easter sunday.

calipro comments on

It shouldn't cost you a thing to get a Colombian chic that likes you in bed. If you keep things casual you can get away without spending hardly real money. Keep in mind your philisophical reasons for not helping your new lover out when it appears you have more money than her....are not going to hold alot of weight with her...so you are going to have to lie like a combiano and tell her flat out that you don't really have any money to speak of and if you did you would be happy to help her out. hehehe !!! Now if you try and get serious and want exclusive rights to that ass it will cost you some $$$. Simply because you are going to have to maintain her to some extent. If you think some poor colombiana is going to save herself for you just for you because she really loves you...it ain't gonna happen....the best you can hope for is that she loves you enough to lie about it. Otherwise you better play lets make a deal or just let her move in.....which is really going to cramp your style unless you really and truely love her ass that is. hehehe !!!

calipro comments on Spas, ect in Colombia

I recommend Prana Spa in Cali www.pranaspacali.com The have a couples package so you can bring your girlfriend or wife. Remember to order a couple of glasses of wine for the sauna.

calipro comments on Does anybody think the COLOMBIA SECTION should be broken up into 2 Parts? Medellin and the REST?

Yes please quarantine the Medellin posts ! We wouldn't want anyone not interested in Medellin accidently clicking on their posts. hehehe !!!

calipro comments on Colombian Consulting

What is your experiance with forms 4 and 11 when buying real property in Colombia. What is the current limit on wealth (or the value of real property) that requires someone to have to pay taxes in Colombia? If I fire my maid that has been working for me for two years, How much severance pay do I have to pay her by law? ;Do you know of a lawyer here in Cali that can get my visa temporal renewed without me having to go to Bogota myself and standing in line for 8 hours straight?

calipro comments on How many foreigners are there living permanently in Colombia?

I know of at least one Russian that lives in Cali....according to the list he must be an illegal alien. hehehe !!1

calipro comments on Colombia can be SO SHALLOW sometimes!

Robert Jorge says on Apr 1, 2009, "For me, as a businessman, I just can't grasp the concept of hiring somebody based on looks. Of course I am not talking about being neat, clean, presentable, etc. I am talking about hiring hot chicks or young studs because they are physically attractive. Fuck that. I want to make money. I need people who are motivated to make money and thus make me money. The last thing on my mind when hiring an employee is if they are a piece of ass." Robert Jorge Have you ever tried to get a motel on secretray's day in Colombia? You better get there damn early or you ain't gettin in!!!

calipro comments on Colombia can be SO SHALLOW sometimes!

I was shocked the first time I looked at the want ads for employment here and Cali and saw an ad that basicly said they wanted an attractive female between the ages of 18 and 28. Any newspaper in the States wouldn't even print and ad like that and if they did you better get ready of the lawsuits.

calipro comments on

I'm with jonas....I wouldn't spend 7 days in either place....but I might spend 4 days in Santa Marta and 3 in Cartagena. Better yet spend 3 in Santa Marta 2 in Cartagena and 2 days in Isla Palmas (it takes about two hours in a boat to get to Isla Palmas from Cartagena).

calipro comments on Tourist visa to the US for girlfriend

IMHO the whole visa tourist thing is based on money...know of good colombians that have a decent job and own or at least make payments on their apartment and didn't get the visa. The one thing I think that hurt them is that they didn't have a lot of money in the bank at the time of the interview. And couldn't answer the all important question "So where's all the money you are going to spend on your trip?"; My advice is put 20 grand into her colombian bank account go to a reputable travel agency and book a vacation in the U.S. for a specific destination and she'll have a shot at getting the visa.

calipro comments on getting married in colombia

I know a lawyer in Cali that will do a civil wedding with only your passport and birth certificate for 800 bucks and if you can find all your divorce decrees she probably cut the price down to $600. No need to get anything translated apostillized or anything else.

calipro comments on

Colombia needs to make prostitution illegal.....having it legal like it is just sends out the welcome matt for sex tourists.

calipro comments on

I don't see the point in talking about sex tourism until colombia gets on board and actually makes prostitution a crime for crying out loud !!!!

calipro comments on Going to Cali, Colombia for the 1st time

Aparta hotel del Rio is centrally located but not the best place to stay IMHO simply because it is closer to where you don't want to be in Cali not that it is in bad neighborhood. But there are much better locals like Suites House in Centenario and Travelers Suites in Juanambu where you are literally within walking distance to upscale resturants and nightlife. Restaurants and Lounges = Granada, Discos and Clubs go to Menga Your safety in Cali will depend almost entirely on you. I have spend about 2 years off and on in Cali over the past 12 years and never had a problem but then again I was born and raised in East LA. So street thugs in Cali just seem animic and not every well armed on the whole. I met a gringo that carries a gun in Cali and was coming out of the gym in Centenario and got robbed at gun point while getting into his car. The thieves got his wallet and stold his cell phone and never realized he was packing. The guy was so upset that they stold his cell phone because it had alot of important phone numbers in it that he followed them to the Intercontinental Hotel where he called security and got the guys arrested. I think that if you stick to the nicer areas of Cali and don't look like an easy mark you will do just fine in Cali. If you are really unsure of ability to take care of yourself in Cali for the first time PM me and I'll see if you can rent a room from some of my gringo friends so they can show you the ropes.

calipro comments on Banking in Colombia

Do not have your social security sent directly to your Colombian bank account. Arthur Brode has a horror story about this which he may recount for you if you ask. I have had upwards of 100K in my colombian bank account and I have never had money actually taken from me but....they have held up to 18K in limbo for over a month. If you can get away without using Colombian Banks I would do that but if you are going to buy a house and a car in Colombia then they are a necessary evil and I suggest you bone up on the subject before making a move.

calipro comments on Requirements for Expats Wanting to Buy Property in Colombia

Very good post but I'm with Brians on this one.....I have yet to find an attorney in Cali that knows his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to forms 4 or 11 so it's pretty much do it yourself or don't do it at all.

calipro comments on Finding an acceptable excuse (LIE) so that i can escape work for a month ............. HELP

I don't believe you can legally leave the state that you applied for workers compensation or it will void your claim. You can however ask for FMLA for the birth of child or to care for an ill parent or child. Maybe you can get a doctor to say your back is bothering you and you need a month off....That's what I do.

calipro comments on 2475 and rising

The COP will continue to weaken against the dollar the more the price of oil drops and the longer the price stays down. Even if the price of oil doesn't drop any more and it just stays at current levels for another three months you'll be looking at 3000 cop per dollar IMHO.

calipro comments on A safe place to go dancing salsa in Cali

What ever you do stay away from Ave. Sexta at night. I prefer Menga by a long shot over Juanchito. The clubs I like the best are LoLa's and MangoBiche. The are both cross over (mix of music) type places. Chango's in Juanchito is almost pure Sala all night long until the wee hours of the morning. And although it won't be as safe as Menga it will be a hell of a lot safer than Ave. Sexta especially if you plan on catching a taxis to take you home or happen to stumble off the main drag late at night. Never heard of the place Art recommends "rucafe" but if you aren't a great sala dancer you might want to give it a try. Looks like it might cater to dance students.

calipro comments on Nice New Apartment MEDELLIN Good Price

No Pics !!!!

calipro comments on Anabolic Steroids in Colombia

You can buy anabolic steriods in Colombia over the counter without a prescription. They are cheap but I suspect the quality varies widely. I guess you can pay a doctor to shoot you in the ass with them but most people just do it themselves.

calipro comments on Uribe to receive U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom

Seems Chavez was right all along. Uribe really is Bush's pet dog.

calipro comments on

If the woman (wife) is colombian he will not be allowed to take his daughter back to the UK without his wife's permission. So if they are in the process of a divorce I would advise against bringing his daughter to Colombia. Now if he knocks off his wife off while they are in Colombia I believe he would be allowed to take his daughter back out of the country with a death certificate of the mother that is if he is the biological father. However he can avoid the whole situation by not allowing his daughter to go to Colombia in the first place.

calipro comments on Thirty Countries Including All of Europe Helped FARC

I don't know how they could leave the USA out of the countries that help the FARC. Any country that buys large amounts of cocain helps the FARC out and we buy more of it than anybody.

calipro comments on Who's in Cali right now?

I just left Cali but a friend of mine is staying in my apartment in Cali. HIs name is Mike and he likes to party so give him a call at 654-4225 and see what he's up to.
