I am an American who has lived here in Cali for almost 2 years now and live not too far from where you are staying.

I would suggest Movistar as your cell company.

Art Brode - that is his name. Look for him. My man Art Brode has Cali on lock. One time art brode rolled into Tres Cruzes with no shirt a pair of boxers and some sandals. Doode came back with 5 Calenas, 2 kilos of coke and a new Cadillac. The boy art brode has Cali (as we say in Califias) on lock.

I think nbenjamin is a bit too impressed with Arthur, but he can give good advice.

I would suggest you look for a place to live near to where you are taking spanish lessons, if you are that is. The buses in Cali can be a bit of a pain, and the traffic sucks these days.

Well, how is everything in Cali these days?
I remember some excitement, there about 5 or 6, maybe 7 months ago.
You got over the 'shell-shock', a.b.?
Any 'EXCITEMENT' brewing for the elections???

Where do we go from here?
