Nunca he ido y estoy pensando en llegar mañana desde Bogotá, pero no sé qué tal sea en temas de seguridad. Quiero ir a museos y al jardín botánico el primer día y ya después al cañon de Combeima. También estoy pensando en ir al santuario de palma de cera, pero no sé cómo es la cuestión para que allá aún porque para eso si quisiera ir con agencia.
Yo iba a viajar la semana pasada al eje cafetero, pero después del terremoto decidí no hacerlo porque me parecía feo estar de paseo cuando mucha gente necesita ayuda, así que decidí concentrarme en donar y a hacer voluntariado en Bogotá (donde vivo). Sin embargo, últimamente he visto a varias personas comentando que es buena idea no posponer los planes que se tenían en ir a esas zonas a reactivar la economía. ¿Creen que es oportuno?
Vivo en Bogotá, quiero hacer un viaje sola en agosto y me llama la atención San Agustín. Estaba revisando y ví que el Parque Nacional de Puracé está cerca y también me dieron ganas de ir a Popayán, ya que nunca he ido al sur del país, y me llama la atención. Pero, por lo mismo que no conozco, no sé qué tan seguro sea ir sola.
I live in Bogotá, Colombia so there are a lot of hiking trails due to the city being surrounded by mountains. I never cared about buying hiking specific clothes so I have been hiking with leggings, whatever sports hoodie I found and for shoes I went with Converse or Nike running shoes. It caused some problems at times but nothing that would spoil the experience (at least for me). But now I am thinking on going on hikes every weekend, so I want to buy durable stuff and I have no idea on what to buy.
Hiking trails here are high-altitude paramo or Andean Highlands, the terrain is notoriously raw, steep, and heavily affected by constant mountain mist and sudden rainstorms. Also, tons of deep, slick mud, wet clay, and slippery, moss-covered rocks. On the other hand, rapid weather changes, it can shift from a scorching sunny morning to a freezing downpour within minutes so my feet are definitely going to face a mix of humidity, deep puddles, and cold mountain winds. Some times I’ll be climbing well past 9,000 feet into the paramo ecosystems so I need something that offers serious ankle support for uneven, rugged paths, but also has incredibly good tread and grip so I don’t slide down a muddy slope.
For what I've been reading, it seems it is better to buy rapid drying shoes and good socks but I am a bit lost on what would be better. Any advise, please?
Hago senderismo en ocasiones en Cundinamarca (vivo en Bogotá) y siempre me valió la ropa con la qué iba; suelo usar Converse, zapatos para correr de Nike y para la ropa cualquier vaina deportiva que no me importara dañar. A veces me daba problemas, pero no me importaba mucho. Pero ahora quiero hacer senderismo regularmente, todos los fines de semana, y si quisiera comprar ropa más adecuada para ello. Lo que más me importa son los zapatos pero no tengo idea de qué comprar para eso o qué tener en cuenta. Para quienes conozcan las condiciones climáticas y del terreno de los senderos de Bogotá y Cundinamarc, ¿tienen alguna recomendación, por favor?

Do you have recommendations in regards music, series, movies and books?
My first language is Spanish so I can understand a bit and maybe, consuming some brazilian media may be helpful to learn. In regards books, I think I can read them but if they are easy to read now that I am starting and if they are about Brazilian culture, that can be a plus.
I had a delayed reaction to amoxicillin two years ago. I had the flu (a pretty bad one) and the doctor saw I had some white stuff on the back of my throat and prescribed amoxicillin. I took it for 5 days and the next day after I stopped taking it I developed a rash that got worse within the next two days. Long story short, I can't take Penicillin and I am scared now on trying new medicine (even if it's not an antibiotic), new food or getting sick. It came to a point I stopped doing a lot of stuff in my life, even working out, out of fear so I decided to work with a therapist and, after some back and forth, I scheduled a medicine oral challenge my allergologist advised and it is finally tomorrow. They will try cipro and clarithromycin in two different days in order to be sure of what I can take in case I need it. The thing is I am terrified and basically talking myself into not cancelling the appointment because I have never taken those antibiotics before (for what I remember). How are these procedures and what things may work to ease my mind while waiting and tomorrow during the test?
(Please don't share bad experiences or thoughts about the antibiotics they will try, I already read some stuff and it didn't help at all so I am trying to focus on getting through this)
I am taking a GIS course and the teacher gave us some homework were the layers provided have different coordinate systems. I am still confused about setting everything with the right coordinate system. I am working with ArcGIS pro so do I have to change the coordinates of the base map or change them layer by layer or it depends on what needs to be done? if it is the later, how can I know when I need to change the coordinate system of the layers and when it is not necessary?
I’m posting this because my medical anxiety is through the roof .
Two years ago, I caught a horrible virus (fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, body aches, headaches). My doctor noticed white patches in my throat and prescribed amoxicillin. I took it for 5 days.The day after finishing it (Day 6), I got tiny red, itchy dots on my arms. By Day 8, they became on itchy body hives (except for my face) and I ended up in the ER. They gave me steroids and antihistamines. Also, even as the rash started to fade days later, I developed leg pain, and tingling sensations in my arms and legs. My lymph nodes stayed swollen for a bit and I lost a lot of weight and doctors thought it was due to stress because I was extremely anxious and barely eating or sleeping. Do, after that I was advised on not taking penicillin again.
A year and a half later, allergists gave me mixed theories, one mentioned SJS (though I had no blisters in my mouth or eyes) or a crazy virus-drug interaction (like Mono + Amoxicillin) and then I went to another that was more inclined on it being an allergy. Either way, I am banned from penicillin. Now my allergist wants me to do an oral challenge with Cipro and another antibiotic familyto clear a safe alternative for me. But I’ve been avoiding the appointment for 4 months out of pure panic. I am terrified that taking any new pill will trigger another nightmare reaction or something worse. I think I took doxycycline or clindamycin years before this with no issues, but because that was before the big reaction, my brain tells me everything is dangerous now and before the reaction I took amoxicillin without issues until that day. Has anyone experienced a delayed reaction and successfully taken other antibiotics years later without issues? Should I do the test?
I am asking this because I don't know why but I'm my country this is not something well known amongst others so I have no one to talk about this and I have been avoiding multiple things in my life out of fear of an infection, even going to the gym. I am already working with a therapist but I know I have to face this fear. I am scared I take the test and then need another antibiotic and something happens or that everything goes well during the test but after days of taking a new antibiotic something similar to what happened 2 years ago happens again.
Es la primera vez que me pasa, no sé por quién votar, no me convence nadie pero tampoco me llama la atención la idea de votar en blanco. Me siento entre la espada y la pared.
Este post es solo para desahogarme por una pendejada, tal vez, pero a veces me dan ganas de cachetear a todos los malditos que van en transporte público con gripa y sin tapabocas. Hace una semana un idiota se sentó junto a mi tosiendo sin taparse la maldita boca y hoy ando con gripa. Yo sé que uno debe ser proactivo en andar con tapabocas en transporte público así uno no tenga gripa, pero de igual forma hay gente que a pesar de haber vivido una pandemia, no les entra en la cabezota que pueden contagiar a otro fácilmente o lo saben y les vale. Si no tienen para el pinche tapabocas, al menos usen la cabezota para saber que se pueden tapar cuando estornudan o tosen. Ahora ando sintiendome como un culo y maldiciendo a ese imbécil mil y un veces.
Todo esto aumenta mi rabia con la gente que no entiende que vive en una ciudad con otro agente y que sus acciones hace que todo se sienta más hostil, como los que no dejan que los demás salgan de Transmilenio, los que tiran basura en la calle, andan por la ciudad como si fueran los únicos que importarán acá. Por más que me intenté calmar y ver el trasfondo eso, y que me repita que no soy una policía de la moral, a veces me da tanta rabia que me dan ganas te andar por ahí dándole bofetadas y gritando a esa gente, como hoy. A la próxima que tenga a alguien junto a mi con gripa y sin taparse la boca, me voy a tapar o hacer gestos como si fueran la peor peste del mundo porque me tienen MAMADA, SI USTED HACE ESO, LO ODIO CON TODO MI SER.
Ya.
