landcruiser77 says on May 8, 2006, 11:40:

i tell you why! colombians people coming from south central of colombia,or central zone of colombia,called cachacos!!they are really quiet and sneaky,they don't trust in anybody with 2 legs.and takes time to be close friend to them.
but in colombia,people coming form the north coast or pacific coast they are always happy,are good friends,and they like music to death
we call them !!costeños!!

Algunos podrian tener adornos en la frente

Tener algún dolor

The other party stinks

"Maybe if there were more French people here they would laugh" I don't think the rest of the world shares your opinion on what good natured funny people the French are.

My wife is cachaco and never stops laughing, usually when I take my clothes off, but at other times too!

OK I am with you now. Some people appear to be laughing at the French, when actually they are just taking quick gasp of air to try to get a breath that isn't polluted with BO and cologne. I will look both ways before speaking, but not before typing because, you can't deck me over the internet.

The day that Colombia imports the French for an infusion of shits and giggles will be the day I leave Colombia forever.

Speaking seriously in regards to a post that has me going "Huh???" You can't be serious? It's either that or you're French.

Where have you been hanging out to make such an observation? Are you even sure you're in Colombia? You can forgive them if they don't smile for you on cue, being that they have been embroiled in a war that has been going on since the days of Moses, tens of thousands dead, 3 million currently displaced... stuff like this and all. Still I haven't noticed the smiles and laughs growing dim lately.

The funniest guy I have ever met in Spanish (and maybe in any language) was the taxi driver I met on a side trip I made to Barranquilla about five years. The guy had me laughing so hard the tears were rolling down my cheeks and my gut was hurting. I insisted that he give me his number so that I could use him again. It was after the second day with this guy that he invited me home to for dinner, where I met his family. It is here I met my future wife, and he is now my brother-in-law.

I don't know what to tell you... Lighten up? Smile and the world smiles with you?

And if this fails, you are probably in the wrong part of Colombia. Yes, get on a plane, a bus, or a burra, whatever you have to do, and get your ass to where the costeños live!
