I just checked and it does not have air conditioning. He said no cancellations so I may just have to suck it up for a month. Any recommendations on somewhere to work during the day that has WiFi and Ac?
Chalk it up to the newbie tax I guess...
Thanks for the detailed reply. I sent you a PM.
Damn, well hopefully it has a pool. There's some places in Parque Del Perro that'll have AC, if not there's a cafe in Centenario mall that I like to go to and the entire mall has AC, its a bit of a hike though, maybe 20 minutes for you. I also go to the Colombo-Americano centre in Granada to read sometimes, their AC is great.

When I went to La Sexta, there were tons of girls there, but they were all ugly. Some guy approached me on the street and I knew he was some kind of scammer, but I let him go on for a while, just because I wanted to talk to someone. It took him about three minutes for him to try to sell me drugs and for me to tell him to go fuck himself. Did I miss out on La Sexta or is it not that great of a place?
La sexta is a bit of a dump, its glory days were definitely back in the 90s when all of the narco cash was floating around, it could use some serious investment. Its a decent spot for lunch or supper, there's quite a few people on it at night but you'll run into some hookers (trannies closer to calle 26), drug dealers and other assorted riff raff. The only place I like going to on la sexta is El Viejo Barril (there's actually two but the one calle 15 is better), it attracts a lower end crowd but has a nice terrace on the street and you'll see groups of single women there and the booze is cheap. I go there from about 10-12, then hit up a classier joint in Granada until 2 then head over to Menga if I'm having a big night out.
You're much better off walking three blocks north to 9th avenue in Granada, which is a block from my place, up near the Hooters. Actually Granada has improved quite a bit since I was here last year, there's a new modern food court called "Container Park" which, as the name suggests, is made up of shipping containers. There's another very classy restaurant on calle 15N between avenida 9 and 9N called Faro Solar, I see lots of classy people and hot women in there when I walk by, its packed on Saturday. A few blocks away is Mister Wings, which is decent and the couple of beer spots across the street have lots of young people drinking in the evenings. Then there's Bourbon Street which has decent live music and seems to attract a few gringo hunters, I was there the past two nights.
Menga is a mixed bag, I'm not a huge fan of the indoor clubs and have only hit up Lola's (bring girls) and two other ones which I can't remember the name. I usually go to Cafe Mi Tierra which is really big, it has 4 dance floors and one is on a large terrace. There is no cover or dress code there so it does attract a greasier crowd, which sometimes includes groups of chicks with dicks and other riff raff, I was there last night and my buddy started talking to a chick who ended up being 16 so I guess they don't check IDs either. Its also the place that my other RVF buddy met two skanks who drugged and robbed him a few weeks ago. The reason I like it is because it has the big terraces and I don't feel enclosed, I'm paranoid about being in a club down here that catches on fire, if you've ever seen a group of Colombians lining up to take a bus or get off a plane, you'll know what I mean, its complete pandemonium!
