BxUnika comments on Driving licence in the US "No they are not. With the anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. towards hispanics I'm surprised they even gave her a Visa. Here in California they are deporting undocumented laborers for Jaywalking, alot of hate here in the U.S." Charging people who commit crimes and break laws with reprecussions is hateful? I'm glad to see CA is finally taking illegal immigration seriously.

BxUnika comments on Birds don't shit on your shoulder en el centro. Interesting This happened to me about two weeks ago in San Victorino in the plaza area, though I did not get robbed. I felt something wet and figured it was a bird. Then I thought,"This is a set-up" and kept walking. I guess I can't blame you for thinking it was a bird, but I realized vety quick that this was a set-up. They do this shit here in NYC as weel, supposedly to tourists.

BxUnika comments on * I am leaving poorbuthappy To Those Who Are Leaving I don't like to see people go, but I can understand why you're leaving. I started reading PBH when it first started. It was quite small, the information was easily accessible, and to the point, and you did not have to sift through threads and threads of sometimes unrelated posts.

BxUnika comments on What exactly is a "strata?" at Utopia/Robert Jorge FYI, there is also a Doce de Octobre here in Bogota as well as Primero de Mayo, Veinte de Julio, etc.

BxUnika comments on Los incestuosos at Rubito What part of Italy? You said you are part, what's the other part? I'm irlandesita. I wonder if being Italian in Canada (or being Irish or German or Jewish, etc.) is different than being Italian-American?

BxUnika comments on Los incestuosos You're Italian, Rubito? Never knew that, Learn something new everyday.

BxUnika comments on Getting new cedula, passport, etc Not a Colombian National "I believe it is the LAW for people with dual nationality to have BOTH passports at the airport. Things change so maybe this has also. DAS employees at the airport play by the rules,, now if I could just find that rule book.
|
|
BxUnika comments on Getting new cedula, passport, etc ... I got my cedula de extranjeria in 2 weeks. I'm not sure if those type are different and maybe I'm wrong, but if I got mine in 2 weeks, why does it take you guys 2 years? When I travel within Colombia I travel with my cedula, not taking my passport. Even with my cedula de extranjeria (I'm American), will they hassle me in the airport as well? They really didn't give me a hard time coming or going anytime or treated me any differently han the did any other Colombian, it seems. My fear is more with US Immigration upon arrival in NY not here.

BxUnika comments on Bush in Colombia Maybe I'm Completely Mistaken But has anybody been in downtown Bogota today like on Carrera 13 near where it passes near el Museo de Oro? I didn't note exact street numbers but it seems that from about Chapinero down, somebody smashed the windows out of every other storefront or bank and it looked as if one or two of them has cars try to drove through them. I am guessing these were acts done by anti-Bush demonstrators? Forgive me if I'm wrong, it's just after saturday night was sick with a fever and just started to go out again this afternoon and I don't watch TV, so miss a lot. Anyone notivce all these broken windows?

Live or Visit? I was in Armenia about a month ago and the surrounding villages. I have been to all coffee-region cities, Medellin, live in Bogota, been in B/manga, Santa Marta, and Cartagena. My perception and from what have heard, Armenia is pretty safe. I did not spend a lot of time in the city itself, though, rather the pueblos (Circasia, Montenegro, Calarca, Salento, etc.). I would say Quindio is one of the if not these most convenient departments due to all villages being less than an hour from Armenia, the capital, plus you have Cali 3 hours away, Pereira 1 hour, and Manizales 2 hr. and change. You also have a lot of tourist sites like Panaca (didn't go), the Coffee Park (excellent), pretty architectural sites like Salento, and the Quindio Botanical Garden/Butterfly Display in Calarca.

BxUnika comments on HOW TO GO TO PEREIRA .... It's amazing how people get themselbes into these situations.

BxUnika comments on Brief travel guide to Bucaramanga Que Decepcion Must have been a bumangues who named it "La Ciudad Bonita". Nothing much to do or see and not any prettier than Medellin or even Pereira or Armenia, for that matter. The Zona Rosa was a joke, extremely tiny. The only truly pretty part of B/manga was on the hills in the gomelito section overlooking the city. Nice view, but the architecture was nothing to write home about and nothing you won't see in any other Colombian city. Que decepcion. Passing through San Gil was nice, though. save the money and go to San Gil or some place in the coffee region.

Manizales? I am thinking of going there soon. A few questions:
|
|
BxUnika comments on Brief travel guide to Bucaramanga at Velo Violeta... "In your opinion, what are the chances of him secretly being the so-called "breed"? Is this some kind of Colombian Man Disease? I found the comment above a bit harsh, to be honest, yet I'm still curious as to how accurate this "gringo's" information is."

BxUnika comments on Best Bars in Bogota Galeria Cafe Libro and Quiebra Canto Funny you mention them both, Sr. Tertius. I was an GCL last night and at Quiebra Canto on Wedmesday. GCL is excellent if you know how to dance. I only saw a very small amount of what looked like North Americans and Europeans.

BxUnika comments on I was a fool for a Colombiana I Agree W/ Desi and Rubito My take on it is that when you have a low self-esteem and lack confidence, it is pretty obvious to other people. My take on this is that these guys who keep getting played represent themselves in a desperate way and are treated as such. I mean, how much self-worth could a person have if he is going to marriage agencies, browsing international dating sites, and traveling thousands of miles because he cannot get a woman in his own country? Many argue and say this is a farse, that they CAN get any woman they want, but why do they choose to travel across country boundaries, drop lots of money to impress, and go for more undesirable girls (i.e., very young, poor, uneducated, etc.)? Who is fooling whom here?
|
|
BxUnika comments on I was a fool for a Colombiana "Nobody has it worse than him..." Are you serious? Well, then, I'd give him the advice that many people have been given before: if you don't like being treated like a doormat, stop lying down and acting like one. I feel bad for people who suddenly find out tha their significant other is a fraud or mislead then, but people who have so little respect for themselves that they knowingly put up wth taht crap almost deserve it. If hyou have no respect for yoursel, don't expect that anybody else will.

BxUnika comments on RUBITO LIVE IN BOGOTA SAT JAN 27 Carajo... I just got home and learned that I will not be here this weekend in Bogota. I am going to Quindio on Thursday bright and early with some familiares. I knew I was going, but was under the impression that we were leaving NEXT week, not this week. I'll be there for like 5 days, I think.

BxUnika comments on Safety in Bogota Re: DonGringo "I wonder what you think of this, since I agree with most of what you wrote with this exception: I have walked back to my house at 3AM many times and not had a problem not once but as ruitine. I have found in four years of doing so here that this works here but in the states does not. Here the robbery is not going to be on an empty street with no one around as there is no one to rob. In the states they like this so that no one can see what they are doing to you."
|
|
BxUnika comments on Tomorrow in Bogota- Friday Afternoon Reminder Teachers? Well, I am definitely not a teacher. Go to meetup.com and look up Bogota and PBH.
|
|
BxUnika comments on Safety in Bogota Agree with JuanceGomez As a woman it is a bit different, though. My rule of thumb is that whenever go someplace new, I look to see if there are a lot of females around and if so, are they alone or accompanied. I think it is kind of a drag sometimes because in most of Manhattan, say, young woman are out and about alone until all hours of the night. I get home by about 10 and that's it because any later would be risking it.

BxUnika comments on Safety in Bogota "I don't think you should be afraid to come here. I am out late and here and there and I have seen some stuff here. I can't understand how ANYONE who is out late at night for an extended period living here and never see's a problem."
|
|
BxUnika comments on Safety in Bogota at Robert Jorge Well, I agree with almost all that you said, I would never say Bogota is as safe as any US city. PARTS of it are, but on the whole, nope. After a while you will get accustomed and have an idea of what your level of comfort is in certain situations. I cannot think of one place at home in NYC I would ever be scared to go into or have real reason to fear, but that is not necessarily the case here in Bogota.

BxUnika comments on My unbiased opinion of cities I’ve visited in Colombia. My God... "These girls look like in about ten years they'll be perfect Diabetes and high cholestral candidates. I mean, I have no problem giving credit where it it is due, but these girls look borderline dumpy. "
|
|
BxUnika comments on Safety in Bogota Well... I now live in Bogota. I am a 5'8, blonde, blue-eyed White female, to better describe myself. I arrived here a week ago after not being here since April. I live in a strata 3/4 more or less middle-class area. I walk around at night alone until 10 or 11 on a daily basis. I have ended up in less than desirable areas after dark but nothing that really scared me. Then again, I used to live in the Bronx, NYC.

BxUnika comments on Racial Attitudes of Colombian Women What's Wrong With This Picture? Again, am I the only one who sees something wrong wth having to travel 1,000s of miles in order to make it with a woman? Get some self-respect and the race thing will be less of a factor.
|
|
BxUnika comments on My unbiased opinion of cities I’ve visited in Colombia. Ummm... You call those good bodies and asses? I have to laugh. I am 100% White and my ass and hips are better than that. These girls look like in about ten years they'll be perfect Diabetes and high cholestral candidates. I mean, I have no problem giving credit where it it is due, but these girls look borderline dumpy.

BxUnika comments on Suggestion Ahhh! Maybe there could be a form to fill out such as the one here to post a new comment. Something with fields like restaurant name, address (maybe could put btw. Calle XXX & Cras XX & XX if the exact address is not known), type of food (could have a "Colombian? check yes or no", then a more detailed description, i.e., paisa, chocoano, italiano, japones, ect.), prices (very cheap, low, moderate, expensive), service, reccomended plates, and additonal comments.

BxUnika comments on Hair Straightening Well... No, not a plancha or physical instrument, but rather a chemical relaxer or creme to permanently straighten it...like a creme in a box that is sold similar to a hair dye or something of that nature. I will try Carrefour, though. Thanks.

BxUnika comments on Rosario Tijeras Just Go To Queens Go to Roosevelt Ave. or around there...I've seen it in stores around there. They sell bootleg movies in Junction Blvd. on the weekends. I got Mario Full of Grace there during the summer and it was fine.
