go2pr comments on Can I retire at my age with my savings

"go2pr you find my comment insulting? I don´t, it expresses my opinion. I find your comment, to say the least, very arrogant. I also believe you are an employee and carry a lot of debt.." Am I arrogant because my standarts are not the same as yours ? ... seems you are one of those controversial, argumentive and pontificating know-it-all ******** who always try to prove that they are right and anyone else is wrong, and who have come to the conclusion that they have some moral right to preach, debate, deride, insult, chide and argue with everyone and everything they don't agree with. For your information, to rent a decent apartment in Sao Paulo, Jardim area (where I am now), you need to spend 3000 to 3500 reals/monthly. This is 1200 €. In Bangkok, Sathorn area, around 80 000 baths. This is 1500 €. In Jakarta, CBD area, around 21 millions rupiahs; This is 1600 €. Yeah, €. Not all expats are cheap backpackers. I'm not from US, I'm not employee, and I have no debts BTW. Get a life.

go2pr comments on Can I retire at my age with my savings

Jonas, what I say is not "plain ridicule".No need to insult anyone you don't agree with. I agree yet that I talked in € but meaned US$. You CAN live on US$2000 per month in Brasil or Colombia, but that doesn't mean you SHOULD. The "South America experience" that everyone loves so much is for many the experience of being "rich" for once in your life. Living like a native sucks ass (which is why so many of them want to LEAVE Brasil or Colombia). At $2000/3000 per month, you will of course live better than the average middle-class Brasilian or Colombian, but you won't be living well by 1st-world standards (large apartment, nice car, repetitive dinners in fine restaurants, party in elite clubs, travels, ect). Once more, I wouldn't want to live in SA with anything less than US$5000 per month -- and that's in a provincial city where things are relatively cheap. In Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires or Bogota, I would want even more.

go2pr comments on Can I retire at my age with my savings

Up to you Jonas if you want to live like a third-world low-income local. I personally don't. AQnd I am happy like that.:)

go2pr comments on Can I retire at my age with my savings

I wouldn't live ANYWHERE in the world with less than 5 000 €/month. In Colombia, Brasil, Indonesia, Thailand, ect, living like a middle-class local sucks. No extras, no weekends at the sea, no trips abroad, no fine dinners, no mistresses (for married guys). Yeah, it really sucks.

go2pr comments on Nightlife in Bogota

Cool. My sheduled dates in Bogota are August 6 till Sept 1.

go2pr comments on Nightlife in Bogota

Rubito, yeah, Sao Paulo Zona Oeste neighborhoods are the wealthiest areas of the city, stretching on about 20 kilometers. There's literally hundreds of good venues there. Thanks both of you for your help anyway. There's enough good tips in this trhead to keep a monger busy for 6 monthes. :)

go2pr comments on Nightlife in Bogota

Rubito, thanks. BTW Pinheiros, Moema, Itaim Bibi, Vila Mariana or Vila Olimpia are not "pimp areas", but the epicenters of SP regular nightlife.

go2pr comments on Nightlife in Bogota

Thanks Bikerrs. Great tips indeed. If you're in BGT let's meet up to down a few Coronas and share stories. Which elite place, even if muc pretentiousness is at its most garish, is crawling with gorgeous 20-30 yo on weekends ?

go2pr comments on Nightlife in Bogota

Music .. well I quite often go to Sao Paulo where I go party in ANY place, from forro halls in Pinheiros or pagode/MPB bars in Moema to irish pubs in Itaim Bibi, techno clubs in Vila Olimpia, lounges in Jardins or after-hours in Centro. As I said, my only worry is to optimize *everyday* of my vacations (gonna stay three weeks in Bogota, and once more, my main worry are weekdays .. arent ZR and 93 a morgue zone Sun/Wed ?) .. sleazy low-level bars, musical spots, mid-level venues, pubs, elite clubs, everything is ok as long as it's happening and the babeage is correct (more than correct is actually better lol). Thanks for your answer anyway, i appreciate. Drop me a PM if you ever go to Sao Paulo and need tips.

go2pr comments on Nightlife in Bogota

Thanks Rubito for your answer. Can you elaborate about 116 area and Luna Bar ? I just look for nice mid-to upper class places, with a good party atmosphere, and with "normal" people. Babeage is a ++ of course, yet I'm not *especially* after prepagos and gringo-infected spots, even if on weekdays (my biggest worry) there's from what I know not many alternatives in Bogota.

go2pr comments on Sex Mongers in Medellin

Skippy, what a silly diatribe ! "the beauty of country could be spoiled by sex-tourism"

Dude, i've never heard something more ridiculous. lol

The DOZENS THOUSANDS (or maybe hundreds thousands) whorehouses throughout Colombia, Venezuela, Peru or Brasil are filled daily at 99% by LOCALS. So a few hundreds or thousands of gringos are taking advantage of this immense sex industry. And what ?

As Rubazio says, if you can't deal with the fact that in South America, mongering is for locals a CULTURE (I'd even say THE national sport because football), you'd better go back to Utah or maybe live in Iran or Somalia.

How can a guy live in Colombia during one and half year without even BEGIN to understand the local habits ?

Give us a break son. There was already thousands of brothels in Colombia looooong before you were born.

go2pr comments on A thread for discussion and not locking, hopefully

Who cares ? Whatever a girl is looking for, I personnaly don't give a s***. Some are loooking for a ticket to get out of the country, some for material things, some for golddigging, some for adventures, romance or fun. This can be used to your advantage, just like they would use their assets to their advantage.

In SA, but also in East Europe, in Asia, ect, you can manipulate almost EVERY type of girl very easily with charm, confidence and cash, which is only fair since most are essentially there to manipulate you too.

go2pr comments on PLaces to go dancing in Bogota

Juanalejo Thanks a lot.

I will be in Bogota on Feb 15, for 10 days (gonna be my first time in town). Anyone to squeeze a few cold Aguilas ?

Cheers

go2pr comments on The gringos doesn't deserve it!

tecno You shouldn't return to see that crack dealer, he's selling you talc, and I think you're allergic.

go2pr comments on PLaces to go dancing in Bogota

Juanalejo Could you post more about Kukaramakara : location, any particular day to go there, ect.

Thanks

go2pr comments on

In Medellin I often answered to 'strangers' in portugese, pretending I was a brasilian guy from São Paulo. Paulistas don't have the reputation to be naive.

I had the same strategy with some girls, obviously gringo chasers/goldiggers.

go2pr comments on

Juanalejo, thanks.

Chicamocha Canyon is surely one of the highlights of a stay in Santander. My trip will concentrate between BGT, Bucaramanga and Barranquilla, and San Gil/Barichara are of course on my to-do list.

Cheers

go2pr comments on

Guys Do you know if continuing the road from Tunja to Santander (San Gil and Bucaramanga) is safe as well ?

Thanks.

go2pr comments on

Rubazio the vigilante. "If I come home and see somebody out with their dog, I make a point of following them for a while to see if they are up to anything"


Another Charles Bronson's clone, a one-man vigilante squadon on mission to clean the street ...... from dogs shits !!

Nice. Other hobbies ?

lol

go2pr comments on My trip to Barranquilla

Right Caslug.

I read the original post not only as a story about a guy who is obviously kind of lazy when it comes to looking for "girlfriend" (sorry man), but also as a cautionary tale about the dangers of naiveté when it comes to latinas and South America.

But because gringos fall for these scams over and over again, can you really blame Colombianas (or Brasileiras, ect) and their greedy families/friends for trying ?

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

go2pr comments on My trip to Barranquilla

Walking ATM
Same old story.

Some guys seem to take LOT OF pleasure to be considered as the proverbial 'walking ATM'.

go2pr comments on Maria Full Of Grace...hmm

Rosario Tijeras Yep.

That's an astonishing movie from what I heard.

Can't wait to see it !!

Cheers

go2pr comments on cali travelblog

Medellin/Cali Caslug

Medellin in August and Cali in October !!!!

When do you find time for working ?!

Nice report, hope you'll have time for more. BTW, I'm surprised with the caracters you met (gringos) : i REALLY can't understand why some guys travel halfway around the world to Cali to chase girls for who several days or even weeks of work and headache are needed before shagging. Better stay home IMO.


Cheers

go2pr comments on Medellin on Christmas, Party Times?

? I heard somewhere that Barranquilla was VERY lively during Xmas/New Year's Eve period, and that even on Xmas night there was a great party atmosphere.

Anybody else here can confirm ?

Thanks.

go2pr comments on South America - but which country?

"I have never personally been to Goias or the South of Brazil but from what I've heard it's a little boring"

Without bashing, Medellin is a ghost town at night compared any big/mid sized city of southern Brasil or of the eastern part of Sao Paulo state, and IMO muuuuuch more boring.

go2pr comments on South America - but which country?

Curitiba Quality of living in Curitiba, Porto Alegre and all Southern Brasil is the highest in South America. Those are very pleasant and progressive cities, heavily influenced by its large European immigrants communities. Plus girls there have German, Polish or Italian elements, but thanks to the portugeses, have also this tropical tanned look and are without a doubt the prettiest and most sexy girls on planet earth ....

But I personnaly prefer the eastern part of the Sao Paulo and the Goias states. There's a lot of Texas imitation there, and for me it's a kind of 'Brasilian Texas' : in Barretos (close from SP) is even organised the biggest annual rodeo/country event in the world !!!

I enjoy this "latin country and western" atmosphere (and those very HOT latina country girls of course !!). Wealthy and very secure medium-sized cities like Bauru, Ribeiro Preto or Americana, or farer Uberlandia or Goiania (I really LOVE Goiania), are places for guys in search of stunning hotties, clubs, parties, rodeos, country and rock music, ect,ect.

There's ALL in this "Brasilian Texas" : the really high level of beauty of most of the girls (amateurs of blacks or mulatas will be disappointed, there's almost none), the way they dress with this inimitable sexy blend of latin and cowboy style, the best picanha (grilled beef) in Brasil, the enjoyable sertaneja (country) or forro music (yet there's also a great rock scene), the endless deep blue sky, a pleasant friendly atmosphere, ect. Plus some numerous beautiful "out of time" colonial old gold-mining towns, mountain forests, caves, waterfalls, and other parks and natural reserves.

But Sao Paulo is IMO also great. There's in Sao Paulo a few pleasant districts which are on a refreshingly human scale compared to most other parts of town, like Jardim, Moema, Itaim or Pinheiros, which is an unpretentious and lively neighbourhood, with a particular laidback atmosphere.

Sao Paulo shrines above all for the guys looking for late-night parties, high quality and educated girls, fine clubs, awesome nightlife (surely the best in the world), fabulous music scene and incredibly various and good food. And that's not even counting the nearby beach towns of the beautiful Sao Paulo's "Litoral Norte" like Camburi, Maresias or Ubatuba, where beaches can easily compete with Copacabana or Ipanema (without the buildings and the favelas) and where there's a GREAT nighlife on weekends.

In Brasil there's absolutly no reason to stick to Rio de Janeiro or Nordeste.

go2pr comments on South America - but which country?

"Brazil would definitely be an idea but I feel somewhere like Rio could be far too touristy"


The Zona Sul of Rio, where tourists stay, is a VERY small and VERY unrepresentative part of Brasil.

You can travel two complete years in this country without even begin to touch the diversity of Brasil.

Plus if you think about retirement, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, Florianopolis and Porto Alegre have been ranked the first four South American cities for the best quality of living.

Medellin is a crackhouse compared with Curitiba.

go2pr comments on Arrived in Bogota

RubazioYour experience in Rubazio

Your experience in 'Brasa Brasil' was not that good (thanks for the report), yet do you know if there's a 'happening' brasilian bar in Bogota ?

go2pr comments on Cucuta/Pamplona

Adrimm & Vicshere Thanks for your posts.

Cucuta being "hot as hell" doesn't bother me as hot weather often also means women dressed in sexy clothes, yet if the city is disgustingly dirty and boring, gonna put it off the 'to do' list.

go2pr comments on Search: Aparthotels in Bogota

Chico El Virrey Thanks for those reports about the Viaggio El Virrey. The place seems to be a good option in Bogota.

Yet nobody mentionned in-room safety boxes .... what about this point ?

Thanks in advance.

go2pr comments on Pereira or Cali? Etc...

lol
Why do I have the strange feeling that Cono-sur, Trasnochadorymorena, Picolanoa, Pereirahospit and Eljusticiero are the same poster .....

This guy really needs a therapy.

go2pr comments on just got back fr COLOMBIA MODA!!!

Caslug
Thanks for your reports and your PMs. I was on vacation up north (Sao Luis, Belem and Macapa) but I've been following your adventures almost daily !!

Nice pics BTW ; Any opportunity to shag one of those "models" ?

Cheers

Silvie "REminds me of my dog who goes outside in the winter and eats his own shit turds as if they were popcicles"


VERY classy.

By living in South America I almost forgot how some western women can be vindictive and how they much more often singularize themselves by bitterness and vulgarity than by indulgence and sweetness.

Thanks for the reminder.

Stay home.

go2pr comments on Colombia in books and film

? It's astonishing that nobody mention the Colombian movie 'Perder es cuestion de método'/'The Art of losing', which has been filmed in Bogota, and which is a VERY good thriller, HIGHLY recommanded.

go2pr comments on Gay in Medellin

?
I thought sex-tourists weren't welcome on this board ?

go2pr comments on Is PBH a slander on Colombia and Colombians?

Amazing how you 'mods' "If you find a thread that is about dating, it is against the rules."


Amazing.

Amazing how you 'mods' feel the need to delete threads where discussions about Colombian women are unbiased and adult and NEVER delete the COUNTLESS ridiculous threads or posts, like the recent 'Pereira capital of gorgious girls' (http://poorbuthappy.com/colombia/node/10771), where some of the most prolifics posters of this board, in their silly and childish need to promote Colombia, stupidly alimentate the enticing (and unjustified) myth of "the Colombian girls being the most beautiful, easygoing and available women on the planet".

This board is directed with tons of hypocrisy.

go2pr comments on Bucamaranga

"in latin america standarts"

Here is a nice link about the principal cities/agglomeratons in the World :

And in Colombia :

Cheers

go2pr comments on Where Is The Best Place In Colombia To Live.

Easy = Medium population.
= Good beach, surfing (beginner) or windsurfing community.
= Possibly off-road dirt biking community
= Nice multiplex a/c theaters or mall for respite from heat.
= Lots of single women (who dont just want a ticket outa town.)
= Pleasant sidewalk cafes, bars etc.
= Not so humid.
= Safe




Florianopolis has ALL those parameters.

Yet it's not in Colombia.

;-)

go2pr comments on Everything about Pereira (capital of gorgeous girls)

Caslug My trip to Colombia is sheduled for Nov/Dec. So your objective report about chicas in Pereira will be highly welcomed ;

For your question about women in Brasil, seems that this kind of discussions are not really welcome here. Brasilian cities are not on the map of the 'capitals of gorgious women'. lol.

Check your PM.

Cheers

go2pr comments on Everything about Pereira (capital of gorgeous girls)

Caslug "I'll have to put Pereira and Manizale on my list of MUST VISIT cities!"

Both are on my list for next trip too.

Let's keep in touch.

go2pr comments on Everything about Pereira (capital of gorgeous girls)

Litost "The hotel formerly part of the Melia chain, is now simply called "Hotel de Pereira"..."

Thanks for the information.

Cheers

go2pr comments on Everything about Pereira (capital of gorgeous girls)

What are the best hotels in Pereira, I thought there was a Melia but it doesn't appear on the Melia's site.

Thanks

go2pr comments on Cash in Colombia

Yep THAT's a good idea !!

;-)

go2pr comments on Cash in Colombia

Dan, thanks for the useful answer.

GIB, the idea is not THAT good, but I'll be happy to make a hole in my vacation's budget for one or ten beers in some Bogota's joint with you.

Poco, I really appreciate your tip. I'll follow what you said, and go to South Cali as it's the place where I can get the best exchanges rates. Maybe I can ask people on the street there where is the best money changer in the area for VERY large amounts of cash. Some guys will surely be happy to help. Thanks once more.

:-)

Cheers

go2pr comments on Everything about Pereira (capital of gorgeous girls)

"Pereira is well-known worldwide for its spectacularly beautiful women."


Your statement is WAY to light ; it's well-known IN ALL THE UNIVERSE.

Seriously, all you guys who make endlessly on this board the promotion of Medellin, Manizales, Pereira, Cali, Bucaramanga, ect .., as cities which, according to you, compete to each other the titre of "capital of the most beautiful women on the planet", do you REALLY believe that those childish and laughable assertions are credibles for anyone who have half a brain ?

go2pr comments on Is it that bad?

Capt lou You're not surprised that Seychelles appear on those so-called 'statistics' and not Brasil ?

Seems to me that they're inaccurate (wherever they come from).

Anyway if one day I visit Victoria (Seychelle's capital) I'll watch my back, more than I do in Sao Paulo.

lol

go2pr comments on Bucaramanga - Anyone been?

Thanks Vicshere and Silviat for your answers. Will send you a PM when I'm in town, yet it won't be before November unfortunatly !!

Cheers
