adela comments on Hola Cucuta ??!!

I don't live in Cucuta, but stayed there some years ago. Cucuta is hot, but not that much this time. I bet could be better booking in a good hotel. I dont find so many but one: http://www.hotelcasinointernacional.com/ Try to see any Estelar S.A chain of hotels. Even dirty and small, my advice : "Just enjoy Cucuta, Bob! what else could you do? Could be better than you imagine. Try informal wear and some formal.

adela comments on Salmon Phenomenon:Increasing Numbers of Latinos Returning To Homelands To Retire

Well, If I would be on a retired age, I surely look for my county to live in. The ideal to me is to live in Colombia and travel a lot. I got the first thing...not the second I wish to. Hey, Miamimike, are you sure Italians are better lovers than latinos? Perhaps, but I heard Italians are also not that loyals...;)

adela comments on Freedom of Expresion in Colombia and at PBH

Interesting point, Webmanco. Colombians are been abused by the privated media ant their owners. RCN, Caracol, El Tiempo and other canals of information are just sending the info according to president mind every day. For example: why they just covered the info of 4 th Feb march against FARC and did not do the same at all about the 6th March march against paramilitar march? I try to read and attend all the points of view, but often I see most media are showing partial information. We hope here at PBH have democracy.

adela comments on i just bought these COLOMBIAN books in "El Centro" for 15k.has anyone read them?Elmo?

It was part of your skills in US working closely with that kind of women as you do in Cali since I received you two years ago? Are you doing exactly the same as some of your gringo clients do in Cali picking all this women at 6th! Poor Cali, poor but not happy Colombia because we have every time often foreigners like you that also tryied to sell my husband a refurbish laptop as a new one! How you dare!

adela comments on “Nos daban cinco días de descanso por cada muerto"

Esta es la terrible guerra que vivimos en Colombia: sobrevaloración de la gestión de seguridad democrática basada algunas veces en el "exterminio del enemigo". Ese "enemigo" resulta ser, invariablemente, el campesino más pobre que no tiene voz. Por eso es bueno leer todo, preguntarlo todo. Pero tampoco podemos creer todas las versiones. En nuestro país necesitamos estar atentos para armar el rompecabezas de la verdad de nuestra historia. Hacer segumiento de la noticia desde diferentes puntos de vista (diferentes medios de comunicación) y apoyar decididamente a los gestores de encuentro, de reconciliacíón y paz. A un lado los líderes que sólo llaman a la guerra. Gracias por el link, Cassini. No había leído el artículo aún :)

adela comments on Spanish for your Nanny

I know sound funny dear Mr Hollywood but...I didn't expect that XXX words that my husband and daughter listened.

adela comments on a few books that should be read

Right: there are a lot things to know about Colombia even for Colombians travelers and great readers. Elmo would use some words in Costa region that I don't know what is that (I'm not talking about his burra or his pretty girls ha). Do you ever read "La bruja" from German Castro Caicedo (translation: something like "The witch"); The book of Antonio Caballero that contain a lot of his posts in Semana. Excellent. Yes, of course that Alfredo Molano could write. Dont forget the optimistic writers!

adela comments on PLEASE HELP!!!

Dear Jessi, I've read about this subject many times. This behaviour is every day most common in the work,not only in Colombia. I know a close friend from my childhood that confess me that he spend aboyt 60% of his salary in games and adult places. Efectivelly he is loyal, phisically to her partner and he said "I'll die if she left me". So what's going on? As my friend, I think your boyfriend has become a sexaddict. He should ask for therapy, specially focus in sex addictions.

adela comments on Eso or Ese

Different uses for "eso" and "esto" - "Qué es ésto! " or "Qué es eso! ": What is that? or What's going on here? Sometimes I said any of this sentences when I found that my daughter have a mess on her room. It's also for a good and unexpectable situation or thing. Ex: while somone sorprise you with a dinner or a gift or anything good, or anything extrange also. -In general if you dont know if the subject is masculine or femenine, I would recommend "eso" for an object or animal: "Viste eso? Creo que es un pajaro" (did you see that one, I think is a bird" -"Ese" for anything about a man "ese caleño baila salsa".

adela comments on Learning Spanish in Cali

Hi Englishhunk. Here at PBH we have some guides about studying Spanish in different places. I created a list of some good choises here, but, if you really wish to have contact with people really talking more than street Spanish, the USC could be the first one on the list: 1. Universidad Santiago de Cali- USC- is the fist possibility. Here is the link(the info is in Spanish): http://virtual.usc.edu.co/espaextranjeros/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3 This is a format to fill and it goes directly with the director of the program. Well, hopefully. 2.Universidad Javeriana Cali- http://www.puj.edu.co/english_home/8955.htm METHODOLOGY The Functional Spanish for Foreigners Program works towards proficiency in the language skills within a cultural and linguistic Colombian framework. The program emphasizes day to day situations through exercises and activities which use the language as a functional method of communication. These situations meet the course´s objective, which is the development of personal expression so vital to interaction with people in the hispanic world. STANDARD PROGRAM Levels offered 3 (two stages each) Length 64 hours per level 2 months per stage Intensity 2 hours daily 8 hours weekly Tuesday to Friday Beginning Dates The first Tuesday of every month Requirements - Placement test or previous level certification - Student visa - Health insurance - Photocopy of health insurance guide OUTINGS The program offers guided outings.

FREE TIME Students can enjoy artistic shows, special events, art exhibits, and a video club. They may also register in all the workshops which are offered in the Cultural Sector of the Javeriana University. Among these are painting, ceramics, silver and gold work, batik, glass, and plasticine. There is also a gym for students and aerobic classes are directed by experienced instructors.

adela comments on What does it cost to study at a Colombian university?

Well, I'm not sure about the range of prices you, guys, are talking to. We all know public universities, or colleges have lower rates per semester than anyone. Also, the quality is used to be better than the private ones. However great public universities set the rates of payment based in two important things, remarkable the first one: -how much the kid/parents payed monthly on the previous school during the last course(11o. grade) -what is the stata of the neighborhood the kid lives. Also, the price depends of what undergraduate program you choose. Medicine, Ingeniery, Dentistry, etc are expensives than mathematics or philosophy. In Cali, a semester in Medicin could cost between 80,000 COP(40USD) and 4'500,000 COP (USD2000) for two classmates in same class, same university, same program. The private universities have the same price for everyone in the program depending of number of credits.

Jericó, Antioquia
Jericó(Antioquia), is one of the most interesting places to visit in Colombia. I went there last year and stayed at hotel Rio piedras with my entire family. It was so great: peaceful, with people so warm and fresh air, tipical food, great coffe, my antioqueña family!!. I have some picts to upload. I have a lot of picts and videos of coffe region as well Cali, my dear city. I wonder how to invest less than a day to upload them.

Pearlyone: hats, t-shirts or beach towels are ok but not necessarily that say "Hollywood" or something like that. Use your commong sense and bring something you wish to have, something cheap and nice.

Your friend's family is your best guideline about where to go and what to do in Colombia. They will protect you and embrace you.

adela comments on como ha cambiado cali?

Cali querida, Cali del alma
Hola elefecute. La descripción que das de Cali me encanta. Exactamente tocas los puntos más representativo de nuestras nostalgias cuando salimos de aquí(yo, por fortuna, sigo aquí aunque vivi algunos años fuera del país).

Cali conserva todos esos vendedores ambulantes: las sonrientes negras con sus platones en la cabeza vendiendo chontaduro, o mago viche con sal.

Ahora hay una variante del mango viche donde no es por cascos sino rallado contada cada tira y con derecho a sal.Algo que me llama la atención de Cali son las personas que trabajan ofreciendo sus servicios o productos a través un parlante entre el vecindario: "se arreglan zapatos", "se arregla la olla a(sic) presión","compro libros usados de primaria y bachillerato", "se afilan cuchillos". "mazamorra, mazamorra, saque la oooolla".

He tomado fotos a varios de ellos, cuando comprenda cómo subir las fotos, creo que las pondré.

Un gran abrazo caleño!!!

adela comments on “Until Death Do Us Part: My Struggle to Reclaim Colombia�~~Ingrid Betancourt

Utopia, Ingrid deserves more than respect from all Colombians. There were few senators like her that challenged corruption in different levels.
As candidate for president I have not a clear idea of her movement that in that time didnt have the suport of a big new one left movement-the Polo PDA was just starting as a new force-. Fortunately we have new and important personalities like her.

I bet, Pastrana an most part of the "stablishment" were more than happier when Ingrid was kidnapped.

-Billy I do believe that Ingrid point was good. The othe hand every Colombian soldier are supposed to protect any civil in Colombia. The idea is not to "protect" the soldiers, rather protect the ordinary people, politicians or not.
Joan of Arc? Perhaps, Billy, because her passion for her goals…

Pastygringo How you dare? Perhaps you are based on the hillarious life gringo-prostitutes in Colombia.

adela comments on “Until Death Do Us Part: My Struggle to Reclaim Colombia�~~Ingrid Betancourt

Exactly, Desi. Ingrid was aware of the danger BUT she wanted to show how important for her political movement was one single, poor, lost, region in Colombia. She counted with military scourt, yes, that Pastrana's goverment promised to every candidate. She was also participating into peace conversations between goverment-guerrilla, so she possibly tought she was not that profile to be kidnapped. She pretended to take the elicopter but Pastrana avoid it. That is what she said on the first video.

adela comments on MOVING BACK!!!

Hi dear Lola

I understand your feelings. If you are an open person that in the past enjoyed people around you, I do know that a development and industrialized country could be hard place.

I do like to talk to anyone on the street. My point is that every person is interesting. With that ideas I lived in PR and US and looked at least the homeless people to talk. It was a nice experience, especially because I found two big families that supported me and my husband with their frienship.

Bogota is great now,just imagine to walk with you family for some of the various parks there, drinking a cup of Colombian coffe, or perhaps taking the transmilenio and traveling faster.

I wish to know more about you, just email me anytime. I have a family here, husband and my 10 yrs old daughter. Gringos here are not nice when you say you are feeling bad in the US. Utopia is a great guy with a black sense of humor.

The other hand is that if you have political asylum, at least you saved your life and meet your hubby, isnt?

Dilia, I used to look some info for adoptees Colombians in same situation. Some ideas:

1.The info about the origin of the Hospital is available here:

http://www.hgm.gov.co/Descargas/ResenaHistorica.doc

The former name was Clinica de Maternidad de Medellin Luz Castro that changed to the actual name in 1974.

2. The children (adopted) have the right of knowing mothers identity after/since they are18 yers old. You could use this right througt the icbf
http://www.icbf.gov.co/espanol/contactenos.asp (there are English version)

3. This place could be informative for you:

¿Are you supposing that Colombians should understand your English at phone? Using your commong sense I think you MUST to ask for doctor William Arce with the best Spanish sentence you can. At least a single sentence.

Also: there are so many people named Arce in big cities. I wonder why dont you have idea about this person except his name and profession. To help you is important to know his city.

adela comments on Need a Colombian to Settle Travel Debate

The first advise: Dont go. The whole Cauca department(main city: Popayan) is a risky area. However, there are calm for those days, every time more tourists(colombians and foreigners) are traveling there and are safe.

The last time I visited Popayan(six months ago), I stayed in Dann Monasterio Hotel. The hotel was regarded for US and Colombians militaries agents, also most parts of Popayan.

Second one: go with some locals as you can. Preferable in group.

Pete
Fortunately you are writting this note about how are rentals in Cali: sponsors to support the doubt doesnt matter if you wish to pay in advance the whole year. For that reason is important to have patiente.


It is importante to remarke here that rentals for tourist in Cali are harder to find than other main cities of Colombia. Why? don't know the reason. Cali is staying behind of different markets. I linked a PBH member to a guy in Medellin for a rental: he found 6-10 options of rentals in the very same day with different options.

Hello Ari,

Most of your questions and doubts are comment extensively here. I am in a rush to tell you a thing,but I suggest you to take a little time to read "The poorbuthappy guides" on the left of your screen right now.


By the moment I could say that if you know Spanish very well, there will be not problem at all.

I am from Cali but, when visited Bogota and lived in north there, visited La Candelaria every day. So fantastic!!! full of life, full of art, students, mixtures, music...everything. Chapinero is good also.

2'400,000 is more than good for a student. To stay in Colombia its good to show your Colombian passport, to travel overseas, any passport different to the Colombian :(. Save your passport and carry a copy of it, except when you really need to use it.
