A SURPRISE FOR ARTHUR BRODE IN CALI

Bob

Hello everyone, Ever notice that many people find plenty of time to bitch, moan, groan and complain but never seem to have the time to say "Thank You" when someone helps them or does something nice for them?

I've been on this fantastic site for a few months now and am planning on retiring to Cali. I'm a fairly thorough person and don't like surprises. So, when I read many of the posts, I particularly enjoyed the comments made by Gator, PatsyGringo and Arthur Brode.

Why did I select Arthur to see if he could help me? Because he has a unique ability to find ways around some of the red tape to become a pensioner in Colombia. I also discovered that he is bi-lingual (I'm not bi-lingual but Art promised to help me find a teacher to learn Spanish!) He also helps people with their relocation needs, apartment rentals or purchases or finding you a home or farm. For me, Arthur's many talents were everything I needed. When we first got acquainted I had a hundred questions and Arthur answered nearly every one of them.

I'm leaving for Cali on Jan.18 for 10 days and Arthur has offered to help me find and purchase an apartment in Cali. I thought that was extremely gracious of him.

As a footnote, I think many of the folks on this site have offered to help others with the multitude of questions that come up and nobody can get a straight answer from any of the Colombian consulates here in the US. And, that's what makes it a great site for me. Kudo's to all of you who have lent a helping hand with some advice to someone who needed it. For me, a very special "Kudo" and Thank You to Arthur Brode!
