Just a few The washing machine on a moto,,, really funny and very popular in the rural area where I live. Someday I’ll get a photo. Think it is more than 1,000 pesos per hour but not much. Having a moto that can drive to the washing area is a real plus,, this would not work as well using 4 wheeled vehicles.

All forms of delivery are usually free or no more than 2,000 pesos. The best deal is FREE delivery of Groceries. What a sight,, a moto stacked with grocery bags.

Taxi anywhere in town,, up from 2,000 pesos to 2,300. Usually call a relative owned taxi on the cell phone.

Bus trip, co-op bus (15 passenger max.) will pick up at house if called. Always drop off at house. Part of the service. Prefer to use the new Mercedes Diesel buses and ride in the front seat.

FREE DELIVERY

Mc Donalds It maybe not be unique as such, but weird. Mc Donalds delivers here, as far as I'm concerned they don't do in the U.K., I have no idea about the U.S.
For those who smoke, they sell individual fags.
And my favourite a good balanced lunch, from 3.500 up to 5.000.

Heck even Dunkin Donuts delivers in Colombia, can't get service like that in the US.

Service and labour is cheap in Colombia, it is the imported or manufactured goods that tend to be expensive. I would be one lazy asshole in Colombia, in the US I can't afford not to do things myself, in Colombia I can pay someone to do for me and I can sit on my ass!

I especially love the delivery from the little corner store.
There's nothing like getting home at night tired from work, going to the bathroom, seeing I have no toilet paper, and only having to make a quick phone call and wait two minutes, and the TP is delivered straight to my door. Is this a great country or what?

House calls A few years ago i was having some back pain while staying in Bogota. My girlfriend made a phone call and around 10 minutes later a guy on a motor bike dressed in white comes to our apt. Turns out he was a nurse from some clinic. Gave me a shot in the ass and a little later i felt fine. Still don`t know what the shot was. I don`t remember the cost but i know it was less than $10

another kind word for dunkin dougnuts... in margate,florida, north of miami, there's a very large colombian enclave and we (my wife) has many relatives there. anyway...there's a dunkin d. there run by probably all colombians. mostly young and so full of good positive energy, why would anyone want to go anywhere else. they had the mix, espresso, cap.'s, mochas, macciatto, and all manner of tea and 'plain' coffees, even flavored coffees, plus an extensive pastry selection. anyway, they make that dunkin doughnuts a great and positive place.

on the opposite side of that coin, in daytona beach, fl. on ridgewood dr. there's another dunkin d.'s and it's staffed by some ole, used to be biker, guys and gals, sort of up tight and racist and just plain border line in terms of atmosphere, product and attitude. an unfortunate non plus.

one more for colombians!

all this talk of delivery but not mention of the best delivery I love it there when you are partying with your friends you run out of alcohol. Cool the tienda around the corner an they bring your booze an ice mixer everything. It was pretty funny for me i am gringo 100%, but speak spanish (at least i think i do) i would just have to say "hola" on the phone an they guys new they had a delivery to "casa de grigo" , also going to the grocery store i lived about 2 blocks away from one in bogota an some kid would push the cart home for me an put all my things away for me in the refrigerator or cabinets. I would give him about 3,000 all the time so obviously evertime i went to the grocery store all the kids where fighting with each other to take my goceries home.

I miss lauthra a lot too, every time I see her name, I get all excited and blood goes rushing down to my pants, but she does not even know I exist. In her eyes I’m probably just a dried up Colombian moco. I always imagine her sitting there with Gary, she, eating her arepa with agua de panela and Gary drinking a smidgen of tea and munching on crumpets.

oooops!!! i forgot why i was here. my nephew lives on top of a tienda (store). he has a rope and basket where he places money and a list of stuff he needs. two minutes later they tug on the rope and up comes the beer and aguardiente. talk about a lazy sonamanbiche

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd like it a lot better if Kat was gently moving it up and down while twirling it around and whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Gary could watch while he was eating his cucumber sandwiches.

oldbongo says on Apr 15, 2005, 13:14:

finally... you guys got my attention!!
the oldgringo is EXPERT on these matters..
the trick is to challenge the proctologist
to explain the difference between grade 3&4 rroids,
chronic fissures or acute ones,
in spanish, so la commandante comprendes why the oldone
is always moaning. she thinks its her fault.
now if only he could get that burning presto-log out,
we could get back to the beach, for that unique deal,
the elmo-burra show, followed by lunch, costeno stlyle,
all free!!!!!!!!!!!
