PBH / colombia (travelguide, pictures) / post |
Many people have said that I should remember I am not living in London I am in Colombia. OF course these are very valid words to say. At the same time It is actually important for people to acknowlede that the things I am talking about are real problems and can actually help the whole of Colombia, if there was more awareness of these matters. If Colombians only knew that leaving food out for hours could give them illness or in extreme cases kill them. Educating A Colombian in this way would be invaluable advice for him and his family. People have also said that the only reason for safety in England and the USA is because everyone sues.
Long before this there was high safety standards. Most safety is common sense and does not cost any thing. Like filling in holes with earth after you have moved some thing in a childrens play ground. Safety is a culture in the west. Lets try to pass on this beautiful aspect of our culture that has saved so many lives in our countries. We have a moral obligation to pass this on to people that do not know about it

Cerealkiller says on Jan 22, 2005, 10:43: Im with you JamesVH, all i have to say is: For goodness sake Londonmale, what are you doing in Colombia anyway? I think you should be categorized as a personna non-grata. Personally, I find this place extremely attractive, finding fairly safe and extra clean places is easier than you think. I really dont get where your comments come from, there is nothing filthier than street markets both in Soho and South London (No offense there, London is one of my favorite cities ever). If I were to decide where I am from Id definitely say Colombia. (Ive lived here for ages). Learn to cope with the differences, your comments are obviously destructive criticism, and if you cant then just leave, i think this (or any other) country would be better off without people like you. Listen to JamesVH's advice, ever thought of Iraq or afghanistan? maybe thats too mainstream for you, why not try Haiti?

utopiacowboy says on Jan 23, 2005, 11:09: I always wondered how come animals can drink water in troughs or puddles without getting sick but a human can't. There were plenty of days when the troughs on my ranch looked inviting but I resisted.
