Anyone else up for beer tonight in Zona Rosa, Bogota? Thursday Sept 28 9 p.m.
Hello all,
I'm bored in the apt and am heading to Bogota Beer Company (Bogota) across the street from the Andino mall in the Zona Rosa (Zona T) at 9 p.m. tonight. If anyone feels like coming down, please do as I would be happy to meet people from the board.
My name is Alex of course and I look pretty gringo with dark blond hair and very light skin. I will be wearing a blue shirt and sitting at the bar or at a table on the first floor. You can call the bar and a ...
ACBlessing needs a room or share apt in/near Salitre on Sept 14th for 1-2 weeks
Hello, I would like to rent a room or share an apartment in or very near Salitre Plaza on Sept 14th for one week, possibly two (depending on your price). I do not require high speed Internet nor other perks but own entrance/private bath would be cool.
I will pay a reasonable rate USD but since I am just trying to get away to relax a little bit on low funds and not a full blown vacation, I am looking to pay something very reasonable...that's why I'm not looking at hotels.
I am ...

Please let me link to your picture or webcam site.
Hello all,
As some here already know, I have a website partially devoted to all things Colombian with one page that specifically puts as many resources as possible for people to use. Many have written to me about seeing more pictures from Colombia as well as linking to others' experiences.
Some of you have very nice websites and/or picture sites that I would like to link to with a small foto and description as I already have with Goosekirk and Tinto for example. ...
What are the toppings on Colombian hot dogs (perros)?
Man, since I got thinking about how great the hot dogs were in Colombia and wanting to make some here, I forgot what the toppings were. The trouble is, I usually had one of these delicacies after inbibing just a little bit too much so my memory is a bit foggy on the culinary side. I know there were some crunchy onion bits and then some sweet sauce that I can't remember....anyone? ...
Girlfriend turned down for TOURIST VISA today
Background: Girfriend is a 30y/o working at the same job for 10 years: for President Uribe (and past presidents), has travelled to many countries inlcluding the U.S. (visa since expired) but always returned to Colombia as shown on her passport. Never been in trouble in her life. Excellent family and financial history.
GF said all the right things...that she wasn't going to see any boyfriend in the U.S., only Disneyland and then return.
After months waiting, $200 ...
The dumb, ignorant, funny questions you've been asked about Colombia
Hello all,
For my site, I'd like to add some of the dumbest or innocently ignorant or funniest questions you've been asked about Colombia. For example:
Do Colombians speak Mexican? Do Colombians eat tacos? etc. If you'd like, I can put your name by your contribution. Anything good you can think of I'll appreciate, thank you.

Can you see my web cam from Colombia? ?Puede ver mi camara en Colombia?
Hello all,
I have been having troubles with friends in Colombia not being able to view my streaming video and I think I have done everything I can. If you have the time, will you please check it out and let me know if you see anything? It takes a couple seconds to load and it's a view of my neighborhood from outside the front window for now, nothing exciting.
Por favor, si esta en Colombia, dime si puede ver mi camara.

Not sure Solo En Espanol a good idea
This forum is supposed to combine all of us into a single, cohesive group where we have to learn something of eachother's languages and get along. If you create a new Spanish-only discussion, you separate everyone from an otherwise great board that is designed to combine people, not separate.

VoIP or Vonage phone adapters smuggled to Colombia successful?
Hello all,
I am tired of paying a lot for calls to my GF in Bogota and am thinking of taking a Vonage VoIP adapter there but registering with Vonage with my own area code so we can talk "local" and free.
Has anyone done this or similar? Any thoughts?
Thank you.

I just returned from Bogota/Melgar and have posted as many picts as possible on my site. There isn't any central theme to them, only that I tried to capture everything I could on film as I did wiht my eyes. I would give anything to be there right now...especially since we got our first snow today.
