Cockney Colombian comments on Kurakaku The noise of the night can be so enchanting, the kurakaku, the crickets song, the frogs in the undergrowth, the occasional dog bark, and very distant the sound of music, someone somewhere listens to cumbia 24/7.

Cockney Colombian comments on Can anyone be a Colombia expert? The country is so diverse that travelling from one region to another one might as well be travelling to a different country. To go from a cold and raining city and an hour later be in the jungle, to have deserts and rain forests side by side. I'm not a Colombia expert. As me about Bogota and many of the surrounding towns and villages in Cundinamarca, ask me about a day trip to Girodot or a weekend in Cali and maybe I can help you. Ask me about Medellin, Barranquilla, Cartegena, San Andres, Leticia, Manizales, Bucaramanga I will look at you blankly and only be able to ask that once you find the answers maybe you can share them with me.

Cockney Colombian comments on Carnaval Del Pueblo 2007 Despite all the photographers it didn't seem to get much attention in the press, even the local papers! There is an official website here: http://www.carnavaldelpueblo.co.uk/ They are still displaying 2006 photos though

Cockney Colombian comments on how to know BOGOTA. . . IN JUST ONE STEP. I echo the sentiments that it's a great way to know the city. I really like that the roads close down for the ciclovia, and you can see people in their best clothes on the way to Church, and familes come together, and in Parque Nacional people are doing yoga or hiking up to Monserrate.

Carnival Del Pueblo 2007
Little Shakira
Me and my friend Al. My t-shirt says "Necisito una Colombiana con un pan grande". Somebody told me it has a double meaning but I don't get it :p

Cockney Colombian comments on Carnaval Del Pueblo 2007 Oh no that's such a shame, on so gorgeous a day, hope you feel better soon. Did any other PBH peeps go? I was the guy with the flag hanging in front of his face obviously :p It was a good turn out and good music, and even little Shakira from Britain Got Talent was there jaja!

Cockney Colombian comments on Carnaval Del Pueblo 2007 Yeah I will just tag lots of photos of the whole crowd and then we can all try and spot ourselves!

Cockney Colombian comments on It's right here: http://poorbuthappy.com/colombia/post/colombia-limpia/ But interesting how quick to shout censorship.

Cockney Colombian comments on best brother, peter... You're quite correct, I did in fact mean unnoticed.
|
|
|
Cockney Colombian comments on best brother, peter... I agree. Although the active feature kind of compensates, new posts won't make it if nobody comments and can go unmissed.

Cockney Colombian comments on Para los londinenses colombianos As a London based Colombiano count me in to help in anyway.

Cockney Colombian comments on The few times I've been I've never noticed a heavy police presence and as it's in Peckham black faces were expected so I can't say I really noticed, I was too busy oogling the Latinas, eating arrepas and thinking how crap the Eucadorian beer is.

Cockney Colombian comments on Aguardiente The first time I had aguadiente, I was seven years old and had just been swimming in the river and mi Abuelo gave it to me to warm me up! Haha, and since then I've liked it. I like cider too but that is guareenteed to give me a hangover no matter how little I drink so I stick to beer or whisky which doesn't have the same affect.

Cockney Colombian comments on ... and lived to tell the tale jaja. Actually I want to change my profile pic but doesn't seem to work :(

Cockney Colombian comments on Hats Depends which part you're going to I suppose. I've see guys wearing straw hats in the little towns and villages but not in Bogota.

Cockney Colombian comments on In which Britain are those queues? Coz lately it seems to me everyone fights their way to get in first (try getting on the bus at rush hour). And don't even get me started on pushchair Nazis.

Cockney Colombian comments on Was the person giving the directions a driver themselves? As I non driver myself I find it very difficult to give directions by car as one is used to walking, and therefore largely ignorant of which road may be a one way street and which turnings may be buses only. Or of course on the other hand, yes every single Colombian is fairly represented by the small proportion of Colombians you happen to know.

Cockney Colombian comments on Have You Ever WALKED on the Path Upward to Monserrate, in Bogota? Walk up... Never. Walk down on the other hand.. But yeah I echo everyone else who says do it on a Sunday or do it in a group. The latter especially if you're going off the beaten track and walking up the mountainside starting in Parque Nacional

Cockney Colombian comments on Cockfighting The only animal sport I have seen was bull fighting and I didn't particularly want to but it was a bank holiday and the whole village was there so we went there. It wasn't as bad as I expected, there was no flashy costumes and poking the bulls with sticks and hurting them, just flag waving and dodging, and with many cheers of support when the bull actually knocked somebody down!

Cockney Colombian comments on Tour de France It was a lovely day for it and wasn't as crowded as I expected it to be and all my fears of transport disruptions (I was meeting a friend in his first time to London) proved unfounded

Cockney Colombian comments on So is the new look freaking you out? Not "freaked out" but I get terribly bambzooled by change. We'll just have to see how it wears in.

Cockney Colombian comments on Well Oliver Cromwell did let the Jews back into England and as we all know they are the string pullers in the Great Global Banking Conspiracy so I think Pow Wow may be on to something!

Cockney Colombian comments on Jet Chocolatina My sister just came back from Costa Rica and they have a Jet bar there called Choys, but it's very different from the Colombian Jet bar, it's got nuts and toffee in it.

Cockney Colombian comments on PBH member's photo blogs Yeah maybe a moderator could edit the original post and whilst not deleting anything could always add in brackets which one is a dead link or a live link.

Cockney Colombian comments on postobon or colobiana la nuestra kola champagne No need for either/or both are good!

Cockney Colombian comments on Carnival I tried tinypic but it just says "Please wait" once you've chosen the file to upload and stays like that for ages

Cockney Colombian comments on Born to die in medellin I'm three chapters in so far, it's quite good with the detail of the lives of these men who end up as Sicario's but when it comes to the part where the 'lead' if you will is converted... I'd have liked something more going under the skin, why this person who had previously hated God and was on drugs and killing can turn around. It just seems like he shrugged his shoulders and said "Ok now it's time for Jesus"

Cockney Colombian comments on Embuelto [sp?] That could be it... I remember thinking it looked like banana but didn't taste like that or plaintain, I guess it did taste a bit corn like.

Cockney Colombian comments on Jet Chocolatina Hmm I always thought Mars was a British company because of the factory in Slough. Guess I was wrong, thanks google!

|
Cockney Colombian comments on Jet Chocolatina A Milky Way may well be what North Americans call a Mars Bar, but in the UK a Milky Way is a completly different tasting chocolate bar from a Mars Bar. You can buy a Mars Bar and a Milky Way side by side.

|
Cockney Colombian comments on Jet Chocolatina Yeah as an adult I wouldn't say it was the best chocolate I've ever had, but like Blueviolet says, it is the taste of nostalgia, I always instantly think back to that house in Bogota, the candles in the kitchen, the smell of eucalyptus.. all of it.
