Juanes, If you have lived in london, you can go to any where in Colombia. In Colombia you will never find a bunch of black guys shouting and fighting at people on the bus, trust me mate, Colombia is safer than london, there are so many chavs and not very nice people living there, I used to live in London and me and my wife (who is Italian) got into so meny troubles, My wife was robbed by two black guys, I was kicked out by three black guys because I told one of the to say "excuse me", I was harased by another buch of guys on anther bus because I told one of the to "stop thowing pop corns to people",every time I use to go out at night, I used to see so much violence, so many fightings, you will never see that much in any city in Colombia. Colombia is not worst, it is just diferent. How ever, you have to take care when going to the places you mention, it is better not to go. Stay in the cities, they are safe and nice.
