Come on Christine. I was in Geography class and the teacher said we weren't supposed to use goofy information off the internet for our papers. Wanna smoke some some mj?

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

The last two got me... I had to laugh at those... they're no-brainers.

If it's not geography class, then it's probably Economics.

class is in It looks like a grade 4-6 paper on Colombia.

To answer a few of your questions:

the currency they use is dinero.

THe music they play is confusing to me because I don't understand Spanish so I would say bad music.

What I like least about Colombia was the Arepas and Beans. I don't like either. Arepas (sp) are bland and Beans make me go toot toot too much.

What I like most about Colombia are some of the hotties I made out with.
Is there a lot of Poverty? Well I went to a restaurant and it cost me 10 dollars canadian to buy a beer (seriously). Is that poor?

Things to do in Colombia: Have sex. Eat. Sleep.

The method of transportation is horsepower and sometime in the future warp drives. Or was that in star wars?

Hope that helps you out Christine.

Here is a good resource Wikipedia has a weath of information on Colombia that can help you:

gstern says on Apr 14, 2005, 18:04:

My input... You really should do more research, but here would be the short form on what I would say. You can use my items as a basis for more research...

Q: What do you like most about Colombia?
A: The vast majority of Colombians are warm, friendly and loving. I have traveled all over the world and like Colombians the best.

Q: How are traditions different in Colombia than in the U.S.?
A: Colombians are much more family and community oriented. People know their neighbors and know them well. Families are a central fixure of social life. For instance it is not unusual for children to wait until they are married to leave their parents house even if they remain unmarried into their 30s.


Q: What is the music like?
A: Wonderful and varied. There are a number of styles unique to Colombia. See the Wikipedia link for a full list.


Q: What kinds of foods have the Colombians made that has passed on their tradition to others?
A: Don't know. The food is great but I don't see it here in California.


Q: What do you like least about Colombia?
A: I struggle with seeing the poverty, especially children who scrape out a living on the streets at a very young age. I also find the traffic insufferable (and I grew up in LA!) and the driving rules completely inscrutable.


Q: What is Colombia best known for?
A: Well, it should be best known for coffee, fashion, flowers, tropical fruit, vallenato, cumbia, emeralds, Shakira and Juanes, but unfortunately ask 100 people on the streets what their impression of Colombia is and 100 will tell you cocaine. The problems with narcotics trafficking seem to eclipse everything else. It is really unfortunate.


Q: What is a typical day like in Colombia?
A: I have never lived there.


Q: What kinds of things can you do in Colombia?
A: The major cities have much the same features as those in any industrialized country. Movies, clubs, swimming, gyms, parks, shopping centers, etc. There are also beaches, lakes, islands, mountains, etc. In fact the countryside is quite beautiful and were it not problems related to nartcotics trafficking and the civil war, I would venture that Colombia would be a very popular tourist destination.


Q: Why would people want to visit Colombia?
A: See above


Q: Is living in Colombia hard? Why or why not?
A: It is a developing country with all of the economic challenges that go with that. Finding work can be very difficult, even for the well-educated. However, food and shelter is relatively inexpensive as is transportation. Net-net I would say that it is harder to live in Colombia than in the USA, HOWEVER, if you do have a good-paying job in Colombia, you live much better than you do in the USA.


Q: What are some good qualities of Colombia?
A: see above


Q: What are the bad qualities of Colombia?
A: see above


Q: How have other countries had and effect on Colombia?
A: Worldwide demand for drugs has damaged her.


Q: How has Colombia had effects on other countries?
A: Again, I would say that the most profound impact that Colombia has on the world relates to narcotics trafficking. It would be great to say that music or coffee has a more profound impact on the world, but that would be a hard argument to make given all the problems with illicit drugs.


Q: What type of government is Colombia run by?
A: see wikipedia


Q: Is Colombia very sport orientated?
A: Yes, they are nuts about sports. see wikipedia


Q: What is main transportation in Colombia?
A: see wikipedia


Q: Is there a lot of poverty?
A: yes, there is.


Q: What is the currency in Colombia?
A: see wikipedia

gstern,

I disagree with this. That would be the response you would get if you ask ignorant, simplistic people who couldn't even locate Colombia on a world map. But if you ask educated, cultured people, they would tell you that Colombia is latin america's oldest democracy, the country with the most fauna and flora per unit area on earth, a country of incredible scenery, that it is a pioneer in refractive surgery, or that it is a country that has produced great writers, poets, and musicians.
