Taking stuff home in your luggage

You're somewhat mixed up M'Dear-you need to ask Australians who know something about Australian import restrictions.
The LP TT has all kinds and I'm sure the Australian Govt websites would be helpful in that regard.

No one in Colombia gives a shit about what you take out of the country-with the obvious exceptions of illegal drugs/explosives and pre Colombian artifacts.

Botero figurines I had purchased some nice bronze figurines of some of Botero's works. I decided to seek out a few more, but had trouble finding them in Bogota, the shops that did not carry them explained that they were forbidden to sell them because Botero did not authorise them, and furthermore the fakes are confiscated at the airport. Yikes! I had just spent about 500,000 pesos and now they were going to confiscate them. Later I went back to the shop where I purchased them in Hacienda Santa Barbara and asked them if this were true, the clerk simply dodged about answering one way or the other, so I didn't buy any more Botero bronzes.

At the airport they were carried in my hand luggage and the customs people did look at them, but they sent me through without any hassle.

Has anyone else heard of this?

I noticed at the Botero Museum gift shop you can't even find postcards of his works.

I think Miss Sydneygirl is a wonderful addition to our little third world nation. Why will anyone in their right mind want to live here, but she does. She’s following her heart and ended up in the middle of the Andes Mountains, Bogotá, with the damn in-laws. How many women do you know that will leave all the comforts of the first world to live in Colombia or anywhere in South America for that matter? not many or any at all, but you will see millions heading the other way. In my eyes she’s definitely very, very special.

I'll get there, when I get there!

Sweet sensitive Elmo! You're so tender and sweet, Elmo.

Odds are still stacked against you though.

Botero post-cards I bought several posters plus a number of post-cards of his work when Botero exhibition was visiting Stockholm's Modern Art Museum a couple of years ago.
