'Sin tetas no hay paraÃso' no tendrá la palabra 'tetas' en la producción para mercado latino de E.U.

Being that I've never followed any Colombian traditions and chit, I have a question for those that do. When are you too old to call your uncle, tio?
These last few days I’ve been talking business with my uncle in Barranquilla.
It feels very uncomfortable and odd to continue calling this modefoque uncle since I’m an old modefoque too and to top it off, he looks younger than me.
What the fok do I do? By elmodefoque on May 16, 2008, 12:18 in Friendly Talkzone |

Still fishing for zip lines... Hi again, SandyBeach here. My last post did get me a location of a place with zip lines near Armenia at Panaca( Thanks again Billyb ), but I think there is another place near Montenegro that I want to find. I have read two references to one being there as a), "a half hour ride down the hillside back to Armenia" from it, and b) "just outside Montenegro at Finca de Caracoles". This particular one has 14 lines covering a couple of kilometres. Would Panaca qualify as being a half hour away from Ame ...By SandyBeach (newbie) on May 16, 2008, 11:13 in Friendly Talkzone |

Lonely Planet Guide about Colombia - Author admits he's never been to Colombia This article in el Colombiano (published in Medellin) says that the author of the Colombia Lonely Planet Guide admits he's never been to Colombia, he just researched info through a former colombian girlfriend. That gives you an idea of the quality of those travel guides. http://www.elcolombiano.com.co/BancoConocimiento/O/olac_redactor_de_lonely_planet_se_invento_guia_colombia_lcg_14042008/olac_redactor_de_lonely_planet_se_invento_guia_colombia_lcg_14042008.aspBy ColombiaBoard on May 16, 2008, 09:59 in Friendly Talkzone |

Colombian authorities have came out saying that other countries should not be negotiating with the FARC for hostage release without consent from Colombia. In a sense I agree with this because just like I expected sovereignty of Ecuador to be respected, more so I care for Colombia's sovereignty. However, Colombia should allow these processes to proceed as the hostages need to be released.

Por qué el gobierno tomó la súbita decisión?
La primera razón y la más obvia del por qué hasta ahora el gobierno se hastió con estos jefes paramilitares y los extraditó tiene que ver con el simple y llano hecho de que, a su juicio, seguÃan delinquiendo desde la cárcel. Eso sólo es motivo suficiente para extraditarlos porque incumplieron el requisito básico de la Ley de Justicia y Paz.
Y por la misma razón el primer efecto práctico de la extradición de los 14 paramilitares ... By huskie on May 16, 2008, 06:18 in Friendly Talkzone |

Chavez ties Merkel to Hitler ahead of EU-Latin America Summit Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday attacked German Chancellor Angela Merkel, comparing her to Adolf Hitler in response to her criticism of the South American leader's policies. Merkel belongs to the political right, "the same right that supported Hitler, fascism," Chavez said on his television programme, Alo Presidente. Chavez's remarks came after Merkel said that the left-wing leader is not the voice of the region.

The directions for the I-129F pedition state: In Place of any of the above, you may give USCIS a copy of your valid, unexpired U.S. passport issued with a validity period of at least five years. You must submit copies of all pages in the passport.
My passport validity period is 10 years, but will expire in February of 2009. Can I still use this as proof of citizenship, or should I track down my birth certificate? By Azul on May 15, 2008, 20:32 in Visa & paperwork |

"Perro Como Perro" by Carlos Moreno "I say GOD DAMN! GOD DAMN!!!" proclaims Uma Thurman after doing a big fat line of coke in the ladies room. That is how I felt after watching the first feature film by Colombian newcomer Carlos Moreno. A film which has already screened at several prominent film festivals around the globe. After watching "Perro Come Perro" I was reminded of the first time I saw "Reservoir Dogs" the 1992 debut feature film from writer/director Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's "El Mariachi, as well a ...By Medellin Traveler on May 15, 2008, 19:10 in Friendly Talkzone |

Global Depression is coming! Will Colombia's isolation protect it? Gas, bread, rice, eggs, clothing, everything made from plastic, and just about everything has increased in price like never before in my life time. People's homes are being foreclosed on at very alarming rates. Corporations are cutting back on what they are spending on promotions, cutting employee numbers, and tightening their belts in every way, and raising prices on everything. The balloon is blown up as much as it can go, and will burst in the next 18 months. Those that have money ...By WaySouthOfTheBorder (newbie) on May 15, 2008, 19:08 in Friendly Talkzone |
