Having 24 Thai employees is like having 24 nervous breakdowns daily. No thanks.

I've literally been all over the world and have never seen such shit for brains as I see here on a daily basis. If they didn't make me feel so God damned smart, I'd dip. Not to mention, they all thing I'm sexy. :upsidedow

Philippines i would not feel safe in Colombia or Coasta Rica

Why wouldnt you feel safe in CR?

the truth is i dont feel safe anywhere
looking at a few cr websites cr looks nicer than Philippines

CR is awesome. I lived there off and on for many years. Got robbed a few times, but hey, Ive been robbed in like 5 countries- so whatever.

Havent been to the Philippines but I know the beaches are better, its cheaper, and the kidnapping rates are pretty high.

you know thats the funniest thing the first time i went to the us i thort i would step off the plane and 10 black guys were ether going to shoot me or rape me but i had the best time over there and probably the safes-est place i have been i used to go out in the early hours of the morning by myself for food and nothing ever happened to me you could not say the same for the uk or Australia ive had more trouble in aus than any other countries
unless you live in a country you will never know what its like

Ecuador?

You wouldn't feel safe in CR but you choose the Philippines:error:error:1orglaugh

why bother answering if you have no clue what you are talking about?

ive been to the Philippines 2 times know and had no problems

I've been there a few more than 2 times and over the past 24 months I've seen two stabbings of foreigners in public places. One old white guy stabbed (and killed) by a street vendor in front of a 7/11. One korean smoking a cigarette stabbed (don't know if he died) in front of a korean restaurant, but if you've been there two times with no problems, that settles it then.

Anyway even forgetting our different experiences, since you're comparing countries it would help a little if you'd been to both, difficult for you to compare it with CR if you've never been to CR :2 cents:

I am an American, I have not visited ColUmbia. I live in Colombia and have done so for 10 years.

I was in Miami last week, leaving little Cuba, Some one pulled besides the car in front of us and shot all 4 people inside with sawed off shot gun.

My first trip to Colombia was in October 98, visited Cali, and then Medellin. Medellin was so bad you could not go outside and look for taxi.

Cali was so bad you could not go into a nigh club that was not infested with Narcos.

When I moved here it was after Escobar and the start of the Colombian Drug War.

Medellin is one the most respected and visited cities in all of South America. It is known for flowers, clothes, some of the best underwear in the world, world class fashion models, video chat and of course very hot women.

Bogata is one of the largest cities in the world, it sucks, why, because I hate large cities.

Cali being the second largest city in Colombia is beautiful, although the infrastructure is just now being fixed.

Is ColUmbia dangerous, yes no doubt about it. are there kidnappings, yes no doubt about it. Who gets kidnapped these days, dumb ass gringos who wander into the mountains flashing money around or politicians.

I have lived here like I said 10 years and have never had anything happen to me. I have visited parts of Colombia where they have never seen a gringo before.. Am I carful, yes.

I have I ever been hurt YES, but it was by having my heart broken by a Colombian woman. I can tell you this, you have NO IDEA what love is like until you have been loved by a Colombian woman.

Is Colombia a good place for an american to live, depends on the American. If you have the attitude that you are going to live here, learn about the culture, become involved you will be fine. If you come with an attitude that you are better than Colombian or that THEY DONT HAVE REAL MONEY, DOLLARS you will be fucked and unhappy.

Drug war yes, And with the help of the US the country has gotten a lot better. Was it achieved by methods that liberals would approve of, Nope... But it works.

Ok finishing my book here, Colombia is great, it is complicated, hard to understand, dangerous for the ignorant, and a wonderful place to be if you can blend in.

If you come to Colombia your biggest concern will probably be me giving you a dirty look for being a dirty ass gringo that I hate seeing everywhere now... place is starting to get infested with them :disgust :Oh crap :mad:

I lived in Costa Rica, it's a awesome but I recommend Panama.

"unless you live in a country you will never know what its like"
SO fucking true!!

Philippines of course

Your full of shit, i have lived in the Philippines for 5 years and have gone to the most fucked up places i could go to find some action.. And that's more hardcore than seeing stabbings.

Buy a big house in costa rica.... hookers just show up in the middle of the night. Drunk, horny....

Its only Day O Clock or Night O Clock on my property..... watch that bishes.

:pimp

Thank you for your insightful post. Would you mind giving a quick review of Cartagena?

It is difficult to to business legally in Thailand, but the police are generally cheap to pay off. Also, there is no need to do the visa run thing as long as you get a student visa.

You want to make a bet? I'll tell you when and where.

As for what is more hardcore, who gives a fuck? You think you know because you whore mongered for a while, I've been an expat all my life, including childhood, I can tell you stories that would make you go all white little boy.:2 cents:

Being a full time whore monger gets old no matter where u are. It's finding balance with a real life too imo.

:2 cents:

Is it true 1g of coke is like 5 bucks in Columbia and its all most 100% pure ?

I thought this was a new thread, and was surprised when I read a post by Quiet on page 1. :(

Cartagena is a city of contrast. In Boca Grande, the tourist part and the Old City you have everything from super elegant to touristy... Boca grande is like any tourist beach town really and I find nothing special about it. To give you an idea the have people selling cartons of Marlboro in the street and offering them for 40 dollares. If you go into to the supermarket you can buy the same carton for 33,000 pesos or 17.80.

Old City is definitely worth exploring, it is not only pretty but very interesting from histories standpoint. There are some super restaurants there as well.

The party in in C'gena is super, you can find anything you look for. Be careful as to where you go and as to who you go with.. Don't go to the atm and take out a 500 bucks and carry it with you, don't count your money in front of people.. I other words don't be a stupid tourist.

On the beach, DONOT let the ladies who give massages touch you.. Once the get close enough to touch you you will not get rid of them until you give them money.

I do not like the beaches in C'gena, but then again I lived on Grand Cayman island for 12 years.

It is defiantly worth the money and time to spend time on Isla Rosarios... It is like going back in time and the beaches are incredible. It is a short boat trip and there are places to stay there..

We have a driver there who is very safe, who knows every one and is a great guy... If you like contact me for his cel number.

Someone asked about not speaking Spanish... Well I would suggest you start learning because if you have to depend on them speaking English you can figure on staying at your super hotel... It is not a hard thing to learn... Comprende?

What ever, like I said if you need anything let me know.

I have no idea but that sounds about right..

I had a friend visit from California about 2 years ago and he asked where he could get a couple of joints, since I dont participate in those things I had no idea so I asked my secretary if she could find something for him... He gave here 10,000 pesos (5 bucks) and the next day she came to work with a 1 gallon zip lock freezer bag full....

He said that he had never had anything like it in his life. I can say this he was not right for the rest of his trip, but then again he was from CA.. :)

So figure it out from there.

Muchisimas gracias! En Panama, los taxistas con frecuencia se me confunde con una prosti Colombiana, entonces creo que voy a poder mezlar bien en Colombia. Estoy estudiando espanol lo mas que puedo, pero todavia be falta mucho.

Lo que estoy buscando en Colombia es un lugar cerca de la playa donde puede abrir un estudio para "camgirls". Que te parece?

Never been to Colombia, but in CR its just as pure and so cheap that price is not a factor.
Just be careful, I've seen a lot of people use it, and subsequently loose everything.

When its everywhere (Starbucks in the US), if you don't have self control.....well you see where I'm going?

To each his own, but I hate that shit.

Me parece que seria mejor si tu me buscas por ICQ. Que tengo que consejar no es por un foro.

Finding a place for a studio near the beach is = finding a cheap 3 bedroom apartment in South Beach Florida. You will find more teeth in a chickens mouth than you will cheap in Cartagena.

We had a studio in Cartagena for 3 years, my experience is, leave C'gena for the tourist.

Your Spanish is excellent, no worries on that part.

Will be glad to give you a hand..

Great info thanks
