age I thought in Colombia the age of people isn't that important. Well, I always shave 7 years off my age. However, tonight the $%&& hit the fan when my girlfriend found out. I never really lied to her. I told her to guess and she guess 7 years younger. All I said was I'll take that. Man she is freaking out. I am running out of women. What can I say to her to chill her out. By clyde on May 14, 2008, 19:49 in Friendly Talkzone		16 jonas

Gringo Shooting on Friday I am posting this under a newbie account because I do not want to reveal my identity. When you read my post you will understand why I am not going to say who I am. I assure you though this post is 100% serious and not a troll. I have heard from someone who I completely trust that on Friday night a former member of this board shot and killed two would be Colombian bandits. I am not 100% sure if the shooting was in Medellin or Envigado but I know the individual lives in Poblado. It would se ...

Bill´s Wristband In this week´s (May 5, 2008) international edition of NEWSWEEK magazine there is an article about and black and white photo of Bill Clinton. The photo shows him in a presidential suit but also clearly shows him wearing a woven cloth wrist band. Being black and white of course you can´t see the colors but I wonder if this is the band he was given in Cartegena so many years ago and he is still wearing it.

When will there ever be direct Miami San Anndres service? All this talk of free trade between the US and Colombia.....yet I never hear of either American, Avianca, Copa Aerorepublica, etc starting direct air service between Miami and San Andres Island. At least 3 times a week from Nov 1 to May 1. Colombians are good at business but not when it comes to SAI. Canadians know of SAI but Americans do not. A little marketing on the part of Uribe and government and SAI could increase its tourism but the Bogota connection has got to go away. Ask most A ...

I-129F / G-325A questions I've been traveling to Colombia for 2 years now, but am now just starting the K-1 process for my girlfriend.

This hotel is located just outside of La Ceja, on the road to La Union. There are several ways to get there. I chose the long way, up in the direction of St Elena, a beautifull area up the hills, just outside Medellin. There is a really nice N ...
