Bogota gift idea

I had a flash of inspiration for those seeking a slightly off-beat cool gift idea for people living in Bogota:

A really unique umbrella. Functional, artsyish, fashion-ish. Get an artprint, or some cool transparent one.

That idea is needed in a place that rains more!

In total perhaps not, but there are months in which i during which Bogota gets plenty of rain - and it tends to come in strong bursts... If one has the luxury of not being out, or ducking into a shop for the strongest 30 mins or so, great. But I have heard my relatives complain about it (since clearly for residents life must go on).

Bogota's rainiest month has more precip than New York or London's highest precip months.

Bogota: min=41mm, max = 115mm looking for the right graph.

Seattle: min=25mm max=140mm http://drought.unl.edu/whatis/climographs/images/SeaTacomaMetric.jpg

New York: min=77mm, max = 103mm http://media.photobucket.com/image/New York Precipitation mm/raggedy13/rainfall.jpg

London: min=45mm, max = 80mm " http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/education/images/enrainfall.gif

Who said umbrellas are only for rain?

Good point. We don't get enough sun for me to consider an umbrella neccessary.... but these one might be kind of cool on a beach somewhere:

i hope the quality would be better than those 5 mils ones in Medellin...the breeze in Cartagena gets so strong sometimes that umbrellas are useless......
