Jebediah comments on Hotels in Cartagena

anyone stayed at the Hotel Millenium?!

 

Jebediah comments on Hi guys, I was assaulted with a gun @ gym in Medellin...yikes...looking for advice-

ManInRed - I think the reason that the guys didnt hassle you, was because you are a machine, anyone who met you in real life would be scared, that obviously radiates when u are walking down the street :)

 

Jebediah comments on Taking $$ into Colombia

I normally wouldnt bring that much money in, but the AUD/USD conversation rate was quite strong, so i went for it. Im also bring my gf back with me this time, and she doesnt like to rough it how i do, so instead of gettin jipped on the credit card exchange rate when i pay for hotels etc, i got 2K at a good rate...YOINK!

 

Jebediah comments on Avianca won't quote 2-way tickets, and is tacking a $120 fuel surcharge...

or just hop on the back of an alpaca and ride there.

 

Jebediah comments on Barranquilla Carnaval Buget Hotel

im glad im stayin at a friends house!!! :)

 

Jebediah comments on Avianca won't quote 2-way tickets, and is tacking a $120 fuel surcharge...

i just looked in my system and im getting USD669 taxes

 

Jebediah comments on Mayweather vs. Hatton in Medellin

Kostya was a champion, Hatton got him when he was passed his best. I remember a nice hook that Tsyzu landed on Zab Judah's jaw, and he couldnt even walk properly. That guy is supposed to be a great fighter. Pity he runs his mouth 2 much. Who won the Contender? It was an AUssie (well an african that we adopted!) ManINred - Calzaghe is from Wales, not england - you hatton bum!

 

Jebediah comments on Taking $$ into Colombia

Thanx for that guys

 

 

Jebediah comments on Accom on Playa Blanca

hmmm...so the only accom is in the huts. I think they are the hammocks i was talking about. I may just have to make it a day trip and stay in cartagena.

 

Jebediah comments on Nice pics of San Andres

Sol Caribe Campo How much did this cost you? Also where abouts is it located in San Andres? My GF and i were looking at the Decameron Aquarium, as we are both Travel Agents from AUS, and can most likely get a good discount. We will be there just after Carnavales in Bquiilla so Feb 2008.

 

Jebediah comments on Nice pics of San Andres

Simon Hey SImon,

Ive been looking more into San Andres, im not sure whether to go for the All inclusive option (one of the decameron properties) or just get a nice hotel and sort ourselves out.

You got any recommendations?

 

Jebediah comments on Nice pics of San Andres

Nice pics! BTW those pics were amazing! Cant wait to go and check it out!

 

Jebediah comments on Nice pics of San Andres

San Andres Hey Kids,

Im headin over to Carnavales in Bquilla in 2008, and am going to pop into San Andres for around 5 days. Ive had a quick look and i saw there are a few all inclusive resorts, a chain of them, but im not sure whether thats the best way to go about it or not. Im not much of a fish eater, however would still like to try different restaurants. I will be travelling with my gf. Can anyone advise on some nice 4/5 star properties?

 

Jebediah comments on Barranquilla anyone?

???? what happened to you!?

 

Jebediah comments on Up to date Medellin Travel info (nightlife and "sights")

hmmmmm I was in Medellin last year, and 3 places that come to mind are - The Pub, Blue, and Parque El Poblado??

Any other ideas kids?

 

Jebediah comments on Hangovers

Drinking I think the problem with alcohol is alot of people binge drink. I know i for one, cant stop at just one drink. Thats probly a problem with my addictive personality!

Oh and Kalder, alot of the ladies have a tasty "down under" in australia ;)

 

 

Jebediah comments on Hangovers

YYYYYO! Well as we speak ive had a couple of cans of JD and coke (premix) and a few glasses of some cheap ass bourbon my dad got for xmas (doubles).
At least im not the only one who says "im never drinking again!" only to get the urge and the craving a few days later!
Even tho im from down under, im not a beer drinker, but give me a JD and coke anytime and ill drink u under the table!
BTw........i found JD and coke quite difficult to get in colombia! So can i get an order for a few bottles all around colombia, in ever major city and outback town for when i arrive next? Thanks chaps!

 

Jebediah comments on Slumming in "El Centro"

Donde? Where where the above pictures taken??

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

Morphus I dont understand how you can say "so she got hit...who cares?" Obviously there are some people who when they know someone that has been affected by violence are able to speak up about it.

Thats possibly one of the most moronic answers ive ever heard. Give yourself an uppercut.

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

strober I actually enjoy the occasional leather wearing.

Care to join?

Dont be afraid...you might actually like it!

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

Strober - The point that the place served its function is totally irrelevant. It could be a 5 star property for all i care. The point i think Manu is trying to make is that whether the hostel be in a good location, have good facilities etc, which we all know it does. The fact that he has been advised first hand of physical assault on a female makes him not want to stay there, and he is simply voicing his right to freedom of speech and letting other people what he experienced.

There is NO excuse for hitting women. I think it is a cowardly act.

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

Im sorry! Speaking of Casa Kiwi

I was resting up there for a few weeks after getting Dystenary. I was in a private room but unfortunately i soiled the bed many a time.

Dystenary is definately not something i would want to get again. Quite embarresing having to tell the cleaners whats going on.

Which room is it i hear you ask? Well.....ill let you play the lotto and guess that :)

 

Jebediah comments on Investing in Tulcan

Still in talks My business partner has a good friend of his who is in the hotel chain in Colombia, and who we are going to get him in on our venture. So therefore we have a colombian backing if there are any problems.

Manu - If you are serious we would love to employ you. Do you know how to count to 21 and serve refreshing glasses of Free water?

 

Jebediah comments on P.I in Medellin

Hmmm Im intrigued to ask why?..........."why?"

 

Jebediah comments on Investing in Tulcan

Further to my previous post, I have been informed that my business partner has suggested setting up a chain of hotels/casino's, for the moment there would only be 2. One in Ipiales on the colombian side of the border, and the other in Tulcan on the Ecuadorian side of the border.

The prices would be affordable to both ecuadorians and colombians as we are not looking at a get rich quick program. So therefore we can afford to lower our rates and establish clientelle.

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

Right Power to the people my brother.

Just because you never heard anyone hit someone, doesnt mean it never happened.

I dont know the owner from a bar of soap, and whether he allows cocaine on his premises or not is up to him, however hitting someone is something that should not be tolerated. Women are already treated as 2nd class citizens in alot of countries around the world, and hitting them should not be tolerated.

 

Jebediah comments on Typical Story-Man Meets Woman in Cali Bar ........

My Thoughts I am thinking that he could have PSTD, or an Anxiety disorder.

My advise would be to speak to a psych and they can help out with cognitive therapy.

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

hmmmm So if you heard a guy hitting a girl in the next room you would turn your head and walk away?

Nice work.

 

Jebediah comments on CASA KIWI

Hmmmmmmm Morphus...why do you think it is bullshit?

Ive stayed at Casa Kiwi and i remember monica working there. When i stayed however the owner wasnt there so i comment on that as i never got to meet him. I do remember Monica being kind and helpful, and seemed like the type of person who is fairly easy going.

Its not my place to comment as to what manu said, however it is definately a serious incident and i am hoping that if someone posted that then they would not do it as a joke.

 

Jebediah comments on Colombia (and the Hostals thereof)

Hmmmm Ive stayed at Casa Kiwi, and i didnt have any problems - apart from a few annoying travellers!

But if you are going to advise why a hostel is no good and why people should not stay there, then you need to let the people know why.

Im all ears.............

 

Jebediah comments on Brief travel guide to Taganga

Tarjeta De Buseo I got my diving card from Calipso. Great people, had no problems whatsoever!

Taganga was an amazing place! Much nicer than Santa Marta.

 

Jebediah comments on Ciudad Perdida

Cuidad Perdida I too did this trek, it was amazing!

I would say a general level of fitness would be required as there are a few nice hill climbs to contend with, not to mention the final steps leading up to the Lost City. We had a dog tag along with us for 2 days and then decide to return back to his village!

Would definately recommend it, the trek, the scenery, i loved everything about it, There were para-militaries on the trek, who were all friendly.

If anyone has any q's dont hesitate to drop me a line!

 

Jebediah comments on Anything and Everything Wedding!

hmmmmm But if she was marrying u, and a guy tried to put his tongue there, wouldnt she slap him or something? If she let it continue then she shouldnt be marrying you!

 

Jebediah comments on Any information about Casa Kiwi Hostel in Medellin?

Casa Kiwi Hey,

If you get a taxi from the bus terminal just give the taxi driver the address and he should find it for you.

Its located in El Poblado, which is a clean, safe area, a stones throw from the el poblado nightlife district, about 5 min walk from the metro station.

A good friend of mine works there :)

They have a pool table, cable tv, etc etc.

Its a good place.

Jebediah comments on

Jebediah comments on My Experience in Colombia

Interesting........ hmmmmmm....interesting...
