MacGringo comments on Airport Tax

Thanks, I wasn't sure what it was for.

 

MacGringo comments on Airport Tax

The reason it's different is because most tickets have the exit tax included now so you dont have to pay the $33. The last time I left Colombia in July I had to pay the $5 tax. The woman said it was a new tax but never actually explained what it was for.

 

MacGringo comments on im now in bogota

If student bars are your thing, 1500 peso beers, basic etc. Take a walk around Universidad Javeriana area in Chapinero. A few bars around there that you might like. A couple of discotecas around that area that were jammed at like 3 in the afternoon. Good fun to be had up there, especially now the universities are back.

 

MacGringo comments on im now in bogota

If you're female and don't want hassled by sleazy old gringos. Then I would miss out the Irish Pub!

 

MacGringo comments on Advise For Fist Time Traveller

Say hello to Gary Glitter for me.....cheers

 

MacGringo comments on Patacon and morphine

Do they get credit for wearing leather shorts???

 

MacGringo comments on First Bolivia post ever

Cheers Peter. I'm hoping to get to Bolivia some day.

 

MacGringo comments on Elmo...say it ain't so

Totally confused! Not been on here for a while, whats happened to Elmo???

 

MacGringo comments on Has anyone ever done any hitchiking in Colombia

Tinto, Carter's still running his hostel in San Gil. I had the good opportunity of staying there recently. Unfortunately it was only for one night. He's got a really good place there and he knows plenty about the area. Theres loads of things to do around that area. I'm planning on going back there at the end of the year for more time, so that i can enjoy the area more, 2 days was never enough. Tavelite, maybe you could try Parque National el Cocuy. I've never been but I heard that theres plenty of trekking and climbing in this national park.

 

MacGringo comments on First Bolivia post ever

I forgot to say, those pictures are amazing. Not unlike some scenery you would see in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

 

MacGringo comments on First Bolivia post ever

Don't think Bolvia will get that land back in a hurry, I heard from a Chileno friend in Glasgow that the piece of land which was taken by Chile has many copper mines. Peter, whats your opinion on the safety in Bolivia? I did read somewhere on the internet that due to Bolivia being about the poorest in South America that robberies and kidknappings of backpackers was becoming popular.

 

MacGringo comments on Delta Airlines

I always like to fly Ghetto Airlines....check it out!

MacGringo comments on * Latin Euro

I don't know which is more sad Scotty. The fact that these women are still on the site or the fact that you can remember them and their names from 8 years ago.....things aren't that desperate are they???

 

MacGringo comments on Looks Like El Feliz will be landing for the first time in Bogota, soon.

Monpirri, one of the best things I EVER tasted was Ajiaco in a little restaurant in Zipaquira....amazing. Top quality cuisine.

 

MacGringo comments on Looks Like El Feliz will be landing for the first time in Bogota, soon.

A hose or to do it in style a two-way gold plated tooter.....lol

 

MacGringo comments on Looks Like El Feliz will be landing for the first time in Bogota, soon.

I think he's been stung with a dose of escopolamina already....lol

 

MacGringo comments on Elmo's song: Mr. Restroom Toilet Paper Refiller

Nice one....cheering up what's so far been a shitty day.
Cheers.

 

MacGringo comments on Drama

Watch the movie 'Hot Fuzz' if you really want to know about British policing!

 

MacGringo comments on Punk

I wasn't saying they were 70's bands Scotty, but only that they were bands releasing good music in the 70's.
The Doors - Morrison Hotel - 1970 and L.A. Woman - 1971, which was thought of by a lot of people as some of their strongest material.
My point is just that skipping over the 1970's would miss out on a lot of good music.

 

MacGringo comments on Punk

Unfortunately I missed out on those times by a few years Buongone.

 

MacGringo comments on Punk

Just listening to Eric Clapton + Cream - White Room...falls into your golden years period Rubito. I've got to agree with you on that.
I've often thought there could be a market in Bogota for a good bar with rock / alternative music. Or if not a bar, DJ putting on nights at bars.
Been in a few bars in Bogota, meant to be rock bars and end up listening The Bee Gees....lol
A lot of good modern rock bands that I think would go down well with younger crowd in Bogota. Queens of the Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club etc.

 

MacGringo comments on Hair transplant in MedellĂ­n?

What about having some self respect, not being a vain asshole and just shaving your head like most people do nowadays.

 

MacGringo comments on Punk

I would have said it should have been the 80's to be wiped out. Don't recall much worth listening to from that decade apart from the late 80's bands that developed the Manchester scene.
The Smiths, Joy Division, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, James, The Charlatans.
Most 80's music was cheesy nonsense.
In the 70's you had plenty bands bringing out credible music - The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Clash, EricClapton, The Beatles. Stevie Wonder.(You can't beat a bit of early Stevie for gettin your main pimp head on)..lol

Sounds like a wind up to me....troll alert!

 

MacGringo comments on The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg

Cream Eggs are the business!!

 

MacGringo comments on England or Barranquilla

Elmo, I'll hook you up with only the best sheep, and I know where all the best cliff tops are for maximum 'push back' when you have that sheep staring over the edge..hahaha

 

MacGringo comments on

Yeah, let us all know how badly your imaginary wife kicks your ass after you bitchslap her.

 

MacGringo comments on The Perfect Hard Boiled Egg

But I bet you like Cadbury's Cream Eggs Cerealkiller!!!!

 

MacGringo comments on Going to Colombia at 17...

Roc, you can't beat a little cleavage. It's gods gift to man.

 

MacGringo comments on Going to Colombia at 17...

You have me confused with Morphus....hahhaha

 

MacGringo comments on Going to Colombia at 17...

Are you at the fucking wind up?
I really hope you didn't just show pics of your 17 year old neice because I asked you to.
I was joking.

 

MacGringo comments on Women in PBH

I heard Lauthra joined the Dungaree Brigade!

 

MacGringo comments on Women in PBH

Miguel, if I meet up with you at some point, we better not be talking 'lite beer' and fucking donuts....hahahaha
Or is the donuts only when you're on stake out?

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

I'll give you a shout if I ever get a chance to visit.

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

You never fail to give me a laugh!
Were you flippin' burgers for the masses?

 

MacGringo comments on Going to Colombia at 17...

Well before I can pass judgement, I need to see a picture of your niece!

 

MacGringo comments on Student Visa for UK, how much money should they need

If you don't speak the 'Queens own', then you get lessons thrown in too mate.
Business venture - Illegrant Airlines, just specialise in flying the tax dodging, spongers back as soon as they land. You could make a fortune!

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

It's comedy and truth all in the one statement Kat.....hahahaha

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

I would quite like to see that part of the States at some point.
My girlfriends cousin lives in SanDiego, so i might get a chance one day.

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

I forget how big the USA is sometimes when I'm not looking at a map. I was thinking, OK, it's the same state so maybe a couple hours drive....hahaha.......how foolish I am.

 

MacGringo comments on Events in June in Colombia?

I don't have a ginger top Miguel, but Scotland has the most gingers than any other country in the world, allegedly.

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

You'll need to let me know nearer the time, if you're going to be in Bogota.
I've never been to USA, so forgive my ignorance here mate, but is the Bay Area near to San Diego?

 

MacGringo comments on Events in June in Colombia?

It's the Scottish burger....the McMac

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

Get me a job man, I know how to 'go dark' I've got one of those fucking Jarhead military haircuts aswell....hahahaha

 

MacGringo comments on Bay Area (California) MeetUp

Sorry mate, if it was Dalgettie Bay I might be able to make it.
Hows things man?

 

MacGringo comments on Student Visa for UK, how much money should they need

Never mind that student visa pish. Just strap yourself underneath a truck headed for the UK and when you arrive, your ass will instantly be thrown into a fully furnished flat with cash handouts, golf lessons, the lot!

 

MacGringo comments on Events in June in Colombia?

The biggest thing in Bogota is on June 16th, this is when 'The Mac' arrives...hahaha

 

MacGringo comments on Arepas

Arepa de choclo y huevos con sanchica.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

MacGringo comments on Newbie in Cali---Medellin Bashing

I've spoken with a few girls from Manizales who all referred to themselves as Paisas and spoke very proudly of it.

 

MacGringo comments on Not getting laid in Barranquilla

What you need to do is get the sheep near the edge of a cliff and then it will push back harder against you.
An old pros tip that I got from a north of Scotland sheep shagger..haha
