More idiot posters

At six feet tall and 100% Scandiavian blood, I scream "Gringo" no matter what I wear. I am sorry that you have so many hang-ups, Brody.

You'll never catch me wearing a jacket. I live in Cartagena. However, I always wear shorts unless I'm visiting the DAS office.

We did elect a credible President. You can never please all the people all the time.

Why the attitude? Good post. Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of tourists in Colombia that do not paint a great picture of the rest of us. As an experienced resident, if you want to tell them that displaying their wealth freely may not be safe then do so in a civil way.

Why though do you feel the need to ridicule someone's choice of attire? Should everyone dress as you do. There seems to be a lot of elitist attitude among some posters. You've got your opinions, and please express them, but why rake someone over the coals for their difference of opinion?

Someone might not like the way tomtom33 dresses, acts,,,,whatever, but to say he shouldn't is a bit....???? I agree with strober, I mean I try not to stickout too much (impossible at times) but on the other hand I am what I am. Should all the Middle Eastern people give up their robes and headgear when they move to NY? What about the asians who had surgery to make their eyes rounder so they fit in better? One of the reasons I travel is because things are always different, even if there are some I don't like (not referring to tomtom or anyone else, just ingeneral). I'd also be like telling the colombians in NY to stop eating arepas, turn down the music....etc.

Cultural respect?? The fact that you do not choose to adopt every aspect of a culture does not imply disrespect. Sure you're a guest, learn the cultural specifics of the country and try to not break the cultural mores, but this doesn't mean blind assimilation. Example: When I travel to the Middle East, I make it a point to not do things like showing the soles of my shoes or waving/touching with my left hand, but I wouldn't adopt many of their traditions.

Making yourself a target by announcing your wealth is one thing (especially in Colombia), but choosing to dress or act differently is an inalienable right. Your calls for assimilation are reminiscent of Orwell novels and Twilight Zone episodes.

Hey Tom, I’ll be in Cartagena soon, I need to borrow a couple of your young amigas. I’m a serious hard core ass man. Listen, they don’t have to be pretty at all, I’m not looking for a wife or anything like that, I just wanna have a good time. Boozers, druggies and bi-sexual is a plus. I’ll get in contact with you to tell you exactly when I’ll be there.

Chinos If you got slanted eyes and are from Japan, Korea, China, Peru, or East LA, you are a chino, according to colombianos.

Replies Brody, I am not the guy in the boating business. I am retired and spend 100% of my time in the monkey business. I don't make much of an effort to blend. My street name is "Papa Noel," and everyone knows me. However, I never discuss my wealth mostly because there isn't much to discuss. I ride the bus and eat in cheaper restaurants, although I do like to splurge on good eats on occasion. I also don't drink or drug and rarely stay out late.

Elmo, I won't be back in CTG until 10/18. I will be happy to give you some phone numbers if you will be in town before that. Unfortunately most are young and cute with big tits and smaller asses.

Thanks for that, Tinto. I was interested, but I am now concerned. Is this big in the US? "White" sounded strange, but f****** pink, now that's abominable! Why "members only"? Do you have to be a W***** to wear it?. Where can I buy one? Sorry for all the questions, by the way.

I prefer them unattractive with small waist and big heart shape ass, cellulite is no problem. With beautiful women you gotta go outta your way to make them happy in bed, ugly women appreciate you whether you’re lousy or not. I'm not as good as I used to be.

Asses Certainly not pancake. I prefer small and shapely. And I love a big pair of eyes.

I rather doubt that, at my age, they appreciate my skills or appearance en la cama. Of course they do appreciate my pesos.

Members only jackets Further to the loads of comments on member only jackets which seemed to rubbed a lot of PBH members up the wrong way i would just like to say that at the moment they are very fashionable in London which according to some is the capital of cool.

There is loads of 1980's gear coming back into fashion now in Blighty and its quite funny to see stuff that smells and you normally only find in OXFAM or other charity shops no adorning the exclusive shops in londond oxford street. I have ssen loads of those MO jackets im afraid in garish colours too ! It seems that all the clothes we all wore 10 and 20 twenty years ago are coming back into fashion and some stupid people are prepared to pay ridiculous amounts of money to have them - so the futures bright, the futures members only...

ps.. are you guys sure Michael Mann wasnt filming scenes from the new Miami Vice over there in colombia when you spotted the nerd in the MO white jacket with white loafers...everything comes back into fashion some day but colombian girls always come back to mine. jajja

Whats with ripping on the backpackers? Damn, I don't think that look is any good either but nobody's forcing me to wear it or like it. Just leave them the hell alone! Who cares if they don't want to comb their hair really? They weren't put on this planet to please your asses!

por favor - no tomando el pelo con los gitanos... leave the crusty, travelling backpackers alone please. if they want to look like vagabonds then let them - just probably trying to beldn in with and look like the local population in poor barrios like in honduras, bolivia, nicaragua & colombia.

mind you a small minority of them from england are probably public/private school types who grew up with a golden spoon and email pappy and mammy when they get stuck and still speak with a plumy accent going through their rebelious phase after university though.

How sorry a persons life must be for them to have to bitch about how other people dress in Colombia on the PBH website!!! Gawd, i hope i never get to have such a pathetic life as they seem to have. Who gives a flying f#ck how other people dress? Who died and left these arrogant, pompous pieces of shit the Fashion Police?? Who do these clowns think they are?? The funny thing is, that in about 20 years, most of these same POS's will be the object of the next-generation of PBHrs, who will whine and bitch about how the current PBHrs dress and how stupid they look and act!!! Quit hating on other people and get a life, or at least, mind your own f-cking business..Dont like the fact that some other person has a boat/plane/kayak/moped/bicycle??? So f-ing what, i am sure you will get over it...or get one yourself, if you can..I bet these people pray everynight so that everyone else turns into their clone overnight.....then they would be in fashion and attitude heaven, right??

Just my opinion...

I was a backpacker for 10 years of my life but I was in style and I always bathed even if it was in the river. This is a funny post. Really, I don´t think us backpackers take too much offense from this kinds of posts. Not all of us are poor but for those of us who are, it just takes alot of bravery to do something on that level without an escape route. My hat goes off to all my fellow backpackers. John Saldano
