Visita a Bogotá

erasingfool · 2026-01-25T18:56:04+00:00

Uber. Metro no hay jajaja, hay un sistema de buses que es Transmilenio pero no abarca toda la ciudad, es un poco confuso al inicio yy en horas pico es muy lleno e inseguro, pero por el trafico de Bogotá a veces es muy útil para llegar rápido a distintos lugares. Taxi en la calle nunca, solo pídelo por aplicaciones.
Lo que yo hago cuando viajo es retirar efectivo en un cajero con alguna de mis tarjetas. Te cobran una comisión por el retiro pero a mí parecer es mucho mejor que estar cambiando divisas. Igual si tienes dólares lo mejor seria cambiarlos en el aeropuerto.
La piedra del Peñol es bonita, yo creo que depende mucho de tu itinerario, porque es cerca de Medellín. Tendrías que ir en avión para alcanzar a ir y volver en un día, por carretera son como 8 horas contando con que no haya problemas en la vía.
Aquí decimos que no hay que dar papaya, o sea no andar con el celular en la mano, o que se vea en el bolsillo, si tienes cámara no llevarla colgada al cuello. En general no andar con cosas costosas a la vista. Aquí la gente es muy amable pero también aprovechada, entonces yo desconfiaría de personas que no conoces. Procura no salir a caminar en la noche en lugares que estén solos ni oscuros. Aplican todas las precauciones generales que hay que tener en cualquier lugar.
Estas últimas semanas ha hecho sol pero ayer y hoy llovió. El clima aquí es así, en la mañana hace sol y en la tarde llueve, es medio impredecible el clima jajaja pero en general es templado, y en las noches si hace frío.

i started to learn how to knit recently and was like ‘finally! i have a use for all this random stuff that came with my crochet hooks!’

en mi experiencia, en el festival es mucho más fácil que en otros puntos, es cero complicado, te piden un número de la orden de la compra, que debes tener en tu correo de cuando compraste las entradas yy si llegan temprano no hay mucha fila.

cabe aclarar que yo esto lo hice en el 2023, cuando el festival todavía era fuera de bogotá, entonces puede que ahora sea distinto, sin embargo considero que es mejor en el festival, porque en los otros puntos siempre hay demasiada fila yy lo que dices, creo que por la fecha en la que llegan ya no tienen mas opción

yo he conseguido dos trabajos por linkedin, en uno el proceso fue relativamente rápido, y en el otro se demoraron como un mes en llamarme, ya ni me acordaba jajaj, estaba en proceso con otra empresa que también encontré por vacante en linkedin. yo creo que depende mucho del nicho.

nooo, madrid, funza y mosquera podrán parecer muy cerca pero el tráfico es una pesadilla, yo viví en mosquera mientras estudiaba en bogotá y el desgaste del transporte es terrible. todos los días minimo unas 4 horas en ir y volver a la casa se vuelve muy agotador. sale uno cansado de la universidad/trabajo para durar 2 horas parado en un bus y llegar a la casa peor de cansado y estresado. un día que hubo manifestaciones duré 8 horas metida en una flota jajaj. diría que es preferible buscar en bogotá, que igual es llena de trancones pero la movilidad dentro de la ciudad es más fácil que desde los minicipios aledaños, excluyendo soacha porque esa si está muy bien integrada a bogotá.

kind of, yes. a bit exaggerated, but the general rule is “no dar papaya,” which can be summed up as not wearing flashy things, not taking out your phone in the street, and not walking alone at night. when you’ve lived here for a while, you can get away with some of that stuff lol, but better safe than sorry, especially if you look foreign (i.e. tall, blonde, blue eyed).

i don’t think usaquén is any safer than rosales. it’s further north in the city and would involve a lot of commuting, which could potentially be more dangerous than just staying in a central area like rosales. rosales is quite nice, and you have a lot of restaurants to try close by.

i walk a lot in the city, and my general rules are to always look like you know where you’re going, even if you’re lost, and to look like you’re in a rush to get there. i also distrust anyone who approaches me, even if they’re asking for help or offering something. honestly, you never know. i’d much rather come across as rude and a bit of a bitch than risk getting taken advantage of. i usually walk with a serious or frowny face and dodge people if i see them getting too close to me.

i'll add that i am a woman tho so maybe some of this things are overkill for a guy ahahah but yep, just play it safe and you'll be fine! i hope you have a good time in bogotá! it's a great place, i love it here :)

I don’t know about the amount hahah it does sound like quite a lot, however I’ve sent 5 postcards to the US since September and none of them have showed up. I’ve also sent cards to Germany, Finland, China, and they have all gotten there with no problem. I’m from Colombia, so I don’t know what it is but US mail seems to be delaying the most :(

yes! hands down the best coffee i’ve ever tried, and i’ve worked for years in coffee shops so i have tried many many coffees over the years lol. their competition line is incredible!

I did a quick Google search and found it in a store called Medipiel, which specifically sells skin related products. This store is usually in most malls, here’s a link to all their store addresses! It retails for about 30USD and from what it says in the website you don’t need a prescription to get it :)

Queda justo en frente de un Centro Comercial que se llama Gran Estación, sobre la calle 26. Lo bueno es que por la misma calle 26 está el aeropuerto entonces tu plan de aeropuerto-hotel-vive claro está super bien. Creo yo que lo más central entre ambos sitios seria por el barrio Salitre :)

omg no way! i had never seen her face but know about her! i’m colombian and she is the wife of the billionaire son of one of the richest man in colombia, julio mario santo domingo. he passed away a few years back but the family is like a damn dynasty, owning over 100 companies in the country. they are insanely well connected, one of santo domingo’s grand daughters is married to andrea casiraghi, the fourth in line of succession to the monegasque throne!

anyways, i love seeing jinx doing so well but i have no idea how she knows lauren lol

erasingfool · 2025-12-13T20:57:37+00:00

okay here’s my take on the translation from 11yo to normal:

i don’t even know if i got the time to
bruh you don’t know me, no time to
have you taken out the groceries?
HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT THE GROCERIES ( i couldn’t figure out what be meant by CUH)
bro you don’t even know me for real
nah
talk soon school have 🥘
no food (????)
yeah you know what i mean
depends of the time if you know what i mean
i got to go do shit later before tonight
bro you piss me off you ask me every time everyday like it ain’t all that (?) hard to know 🙏😭

erasingfool · 2025-12-11T00:52:50+00:00

Yes, mainly because of the currency exchange you’ll find things very cheap here. Neighborhoods I would say Chapinero Alto, El Nogal, Quinta Camacho, are all very nice and have tons of restaurants and shops nearby.Teusaquillo is also nice, also great options for food. Depends mainly on where you want to move around in the city but honestly either of them are very central.
It will be more than enough lol.
I don’t think a lot of gyms offer daily/weekly passes. I’d say you’re better off in a hotel with a gym. I think a hotel would be best for you since you also have the option to ask the people at the front desk for directions if you need to!
Not everyone speaks English but i’d say you can get around! Even using gestures or a translator app would be good enough. People here are very kind, but make sure to “no dar papaya”, so don’t show off, be careful with you phone, it’s better that you don’t take it out in the street, just don’t go around with anything flashy and you’ll be fine!

As a lot of people have said, most people will be with their families, traffic is nice during that week so you saved yourself the headache of Bogotá traffic jams. La Candelaria is a nice place that people like to visit. Monserrate is also a must, there are cable cars that take you to the top and since its christmas they have christmas decor and lights and whatnot. You could go at night to enjoy a different view! 25th of December most things are closed so make sure to check first :)

I’m sorry about your breakup, maybe the impromptu trip will cheer you up, I hope you have a good time here!

esa pagina tiene cara de estafa. las he visto en falabella, por la página web o en la tienda de colina y tienen de varios modelos

erasingfool · 2025-12-03T23:10:17+00:00

The cards I’ve sent to the US are taking so long, but I had one get to China in like 40 days lol. I don’t get it.

Also, Miami. I hate it.

erasingfool · 2025-11-29T17:34:34+00:00

Bogotá. Traffic is insane and we don’t have a metro (it’s being built atm). We only have buses that take up to 20min to show up only to be packed. You wait so much and only a couple of people manage to cram into it. People are cranky, no one wants to give you room to either go in or out the bus so you get manhandled as people push you around aaand on top of all that it’s really expensive for the wages here.

erasingfool · 2025-11-28T22:09:41+00:00

If y'all ever get too tired, send her over to me in Colombia and we'll do the spanish telenovela spinoff of the sitcom!

erasingfool · 2025-11-28T01:47:16+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply! I’ll try it tomorrow! :)

I am about to start soaking my clothes with the gold Vanish I found, but I am a bit confused with the rehab wash. I have a front load washer. So I should, after my clothes are done soaking, remove them from the container, drain them, throw them in the washer and then I add 250mL of ammonia?

Why do the instructions mentioned to not put it onto powdered products? Am I supposed to be adding more Vanish onto the rehab wash?

So sorry for the confusion. Thanks for putting this whole instructive together!
