Cali Internet Penalty ??

Anyone know of the penalties you have to pay if you move, and have them shut down your internet? They said you signed a contract, and have to pay the remainder of the monthly payments. Otherwise they come after the co-signer. Even so much as to put a lean on some of the co-signers property. Is that true? Seems like alittle too high of a price to have internet. With the dollar/peso deal. ...

The Mayor of Cali, Is He Getting the Boot ??

Anybody have any info on this guy. Just got off the phone with my Novia. She said things are going to be shut down in Cali, manana. Seems like the Mayor. Some guy by the name of Apolinar Salcedo, who happens to be blind, has been selling the Property taxes that Cali takes in, to another city. From what I heard the other city gets 80%, and Cali only gets 20%. People are getting restless in Cali. Like they need anymore problems. Anybody heard of this? ...

Moneygram Blues

I've used Moneygram before. Just call their number and explain the problem. Most of the time they will fix it. I was in Cali over the holidays. I had sent my novia some money earlier in Dec. Then when I was getting ready to leave Cali. Like the weekend before. I plugged into my bank. Someone from emoneygram was hacking money out of my bank account, through emoneygram. Had to cancel my two bank cards. What a frigging hassle to get out of Cali. Had a few thousand in there that I could'nt use. Got ...

Hello, I know this is probably covered some where, but cannot seem to find the thread. I was wondering about bringing my novia a bulldog puppy from the states.

If so, how much time do's it spend in quarantine before I can pick it up. Or better yet, is there anyone out there that knows where I can buy a bulldog puppy. Either in CLO, CTG, BOG. Any ans ...

Gulf of Morrosquillo, Cispata, San Antero?

Hello, Anyone ever been there? It looks nice. I was wondering if it's cool for a Gringo, & his Novia to travel there. Like in the FARC/Paramilitary? It's 71 miles down the coast from Cartagena. Near San Antero. You can fly into Monteria. But you have to go thru Bogota. For $261 each, seems like you can rent a limo/taxi for a lot cheaper. Looks like it's located near the Natural Chorale of the Rosary & San Bernardo refuge. Like a park. Coral, I presume. Lots of Seafood. What about the Mercury aro ...
