There has to be some kind of moderation. Theres another Colombia website without moderation. Go check it out ColombiaForum

Rising Force.... That is a rediculous comparison. Very poor comparison.

There is a difference between people attacking each other, mocking each other, using foul language, and contributing nothing to the understanding of Colombian society and culture (ColombiaForum) and putting the stops on subject matter that one deems unworthy of discussion, as moderation at times does here.

So let's put things in perspective...OK?

Agreed - !!!! Knowledgeable understanding of Colombian Culture and Society is of paramount importance.

Most of my produce is purchased from either a Kiosk street vendor or a truck vendor selling mainly melons, pineapples and watermelons. ie: heavier produce.

The Kiosk vendor usually has the best Papayas. The selection of Papayas is still a mystery. Somehow just looking at a Papaya seems sufficient to select the best tasting fruit. Other times squeezing or feeling is required, occasionally the fruit is taken home and half of dozen, shallow, horizontal slits are made with a knife.

Yesterday Melons, Papayas and Pineapple were purchased from the truck vendor. The melons seemed on the firm side,, but I didn’t get a chance to sniff (my method). The vendor will sell whole or slice for the same price.

Yea..... I'm in full agreement. In fact, I need to start thinking about some dietary changes which necessitates a trip to the motherland.

Nice....indeed

Great photo! Here in Santa Marta we buy our fruit and vegetables in the supermarkets, better selection and prices from the street vendors or peddlers.

Poco, Is that a Barranquilla shot up there?
Yes but if you keep deleting posts deemed "unworthy", the interest on the site will erode itself or something along those lines.

Papaya ? Is "Papaya" slang for a chica or just a certain part ?
I've also heard the phrase "give Papaya" or something like that, what does that mean ?

P.S. Do you know her or just get her picture ?

Photo taken Rural Valle Cauca,, girl accidently in photo. Yep,, deletion is necessary,, PLUS,, this site is owned and paid for by Peter or his minions. A source of information about Colombia is useful,, w/o the necessity of viewing countless articles about dating.

There are just toooooo many of these who,, (somehow) have learned to type and acquire a keyboard.
