I can't believe how things have turned around these past 2 days.
After two meetings with the district manager of Colmena where I had to give my lifes history, I can now make wire deposits. did the first one this afternoon.
It was almost as if I was applying for a job. The only question they didn't ask was, "who was the first person to nibble on your grandmothers breasts?"
My package of mail arrived yesterday........you remember it went USPS instead of DHL by mistake.....it was supposed to be here August 7.........so 20 days late in case anyone else has this problem.
My neighbor got rid of her fokkin dog that was barking. It's nice and quiet around here now.
Lots of smaller things also.........all in just two days.
Now please, no one wreck the high i'm on with some bad news.
there were some pbhers that really went out of their way to help me with car problems, irrational banking problems, mail problems, etc.........so thanks pedro, ctg bound, panthdave, LisaZ.....I know I'm forgetting someone........but Big Thanks!

paulr says on Aug 28, 2008, 15:20: Student visa: You have to get all relevant forms from your chosen School or UNI(In my case, UPB) lots of mix-ups in forms, i don´t think they had done it before as they sent wrong forms. After lots of stupidness, I had all the forms and p/copies from a list on the gov website in my hand at the ministerio in Bogota, but one thing that wasn´t on the list was proof of payment, which cost me another 3 days in Bogotá(Weekend) and 4 months payment.

pedro (☼Travelguide writer) says on Aug 28, 2008, 17:56: The "waiting 3 months for the cedula" is an example of something that solves itself. "this may seem a strange post but it is not...when in colombia men need to be aware that colombia women may try to be seductive and entice a travelling gringo to have sex with them..to be forewarned is to be forearmed..." -- pow wow 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

mranderson says on Aug 29, 2008, 11:49: Yea that´s true. She does all the banking cause it seems whenever I try to do it the guy or woman working the counter suddenly has no idea how to do the job and tells me I have to come back later, or I can´t do that at this time or some bullshit like that.
