ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Whatever happened to Platano?

Elmo=Posada=Claudia or whatever you want to call yourself these days; I really suggest you that next time you try to trash me at least get your facts straight. I am from Bucaramanga, not from Bogotá and I am married to a wonderful man from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania not to a honky southern white trash. Needless to say that I am glad to see your alter-ego, or alter-egoS gone from Cblog. Atte Katt, yes THE Katt.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Pregnant in Bogota!

I don't know if he is still in Bogotá but you can try looking him up in the white pages. His name is Dr. Jose Pimiento.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Rock Al Parque Bogotá Never a dull day

I don't think Bogota is a mecca of world culture but it is definitely a city with a very bohemian artsy feel to it. There are good museums and cultural events around the city. Even in the mundane. Just sit in la plaza de bolivar and listen to cuenteros or watch the mimes wreaking havoc. That IS culture--Colombiche I agree with you Colombiche, but we must keep in mind that in order to enjoy a nice session of cuenteria, teather or even puppets in Bogotá, one must have certain domain in spanish. Obviously a gringo that had been living in Colombia around 5 years and still doesn't come close to have a survival spanish, like GIB, will never quite experience what the culture, the city or even the country has to offer. He will never quite understand the beauty of out country at all, not while all he has to do to fill up his days is bitch and moan about the good old days and how things are so much different in Colombia compared to the USA, because he can't have a decent conversation with an artist in the middle of the Chorro de Quevedo or enjoy Cuenteros in the Parque Nacional or Titeres in la Universidad Nacional. Oh boy, tsk tsk tsk.

Why? Because another Canuck with delirium of grandeur tells me so?.....riiiiight. *rolls eyes once again* I am sick and tired of people like you that think they know Colombia. Dude! just because you had visit or had lived there a few years (whatever your story is, not that I care) does mean you know squat about it or have any right to school me about my own land. Why don't you just leave my thread like your friend DumbGringo did.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on a few travel questions

La Candelaria I really don't remember the name of that restaurant but this is how to get there. Go to the main entrance of the Luis Angel Arango Library in la candelaria, position yourself looking east (at los cerros) and go up that road, you are going to see it on your right hand side, is diagonal to the library, that place is simply delicious. The other one I recomend is called "Cafe Color Cafe" in the Chorro de Quevedo in la candelaria.

The best diving.... Try Playa Brava (around the Tairona area) is a beautiful place, the hike is a bit hard but you can get there by boat as well (personally I really enjoyed the hike) and you can stay in the EcoCabins there. BTW the Arroz con coco is awesome there. Playa Brava remember!!!.

Thanks to all the supportive ppl in here, and the warm and kind words. Kat1 I hope you can go back soon, I know how it is to miss your family, friends, language y hasta el tamal del desayuno los domingos. When my husband was there he feel in love with the place, the ppl, my family and we want to raise our child with all of them around. Dan and Aztec, please keep posting, your comments are always so informative and uplifting. Thanks again :0).

And you DumbGringo, I thought I nicely asked you to leave, as a matter of fact you said you stear clear of ppl like my all the time, then WTF are you still doing in here???...I've told you a million times I don't need YOU to tell me how things are in my own country, and I will say again, I DON'T NEED A SMUG CANUCK LIKE YOU TALKING TO ME ABOUT MY OWN COUNTRY. BTW I did check my facts and with no other than the Colombian Consul in Miami, but of course, she wouldn't know anything compare with a Canadian that think he is the S&%T. When have I said we are just jumping into this? Never!!! I remember saying we are "thinking" in moving back, close to my family, where "I" belong. You seem to completely ignore the fact that Colombia is my country and that I lived in Bogota until a little bit ago, or that most of my family is still there, I don't need you talking about estratos and things like that, I KNOW ABOUT THEM, MORE THAN YOU DO. I don't need to listen to you, but right now you listen to me; I don't give a flying rat's ass about your opinion of me, my husband, even my country... but don't you EVER dare talk about my son or my parenting skills. You have NO idea and NO right to do it. Step away from me and my family....I don't need nor do I want your egomaniac, rude and annoying personality in here. You claim to KNOW-IT-ALL?, then know when you are not wanted AND GET!!!!!!!!.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

Maybe... The bum in you dream was you, and the you go bragging of the dollars and euros you spend there...lol...and I don't need you...a Canadian welcoming ME and MY family to MY OWN COUNTRY!!!. FYI he does not need a visa, he needs a Cedula de Extranjeria which can be obtained very easily, his only obstacule is the language, and that can be quickly resolve by taking classes in an University while there, in the other hand your stupidity and rudeness will last forever...*feeling sorry for you*. And again...keep your comments to yourself, I don't need them nor do I want them.

Elizabeth Caroline: I wish you the best of luck, if that is your dream, then go for it girl. You will never be happy if you don't follow your dreams.
Thanks Dan for your kind words and the smile you put on my face ...and caslug you too.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

Thanks Caslug... thank you for your info, but neither one of us are planing to teach, we don't know how...lol. We both have professional degrees and that is what we want to do. Teaching is out of the question, we will get stoned if we try...haha.
thanks again.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

Not at all That comment was not for you Aztec, for you was the sad one admiting that I know about professionals driving a taxi, I moved out only a little bit ago and I knew that reallity when I left. You have never been abusive, hence, there is no need for apologizing. Thanks for your comments. :o).

Well, I guess if he doesn't work he can make sure the business takes off and care for the baby while mami goes and work...he he. Don't see anything wrong with that. *smiles* good day to all of you.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

Great... thanks Joe, interesting thought, I'll made sure to discuss it with him.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

Thanks.. For your good wishes, now go. And as a friendly reminder you should stop judging people you know nothing about, but what the heck I know! I am only a girl from a third-world country....tooodles!

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

to Aztec and others... Yes I know about that, I moved out of Colombia just 4 years ago, but also I am aware than when U are good and have the right conections you can succeed.
Maybe I gave you guys the wrong impression about my husband, is not that he doesn't speak a word, he does babble enough to survive, my mom speaks to him in spanish and he replies and understands what she is saying, so he does when I just dont realize I am using spanish instead of english he is just not fluent not like I am in english for example. Besides, we are planning in opening a business there, the job for him is because he would like to work in the field he knows best.

Dongringo wrote "I am the kind of person that brings jobs to Colombia, spends dollars and Euro's here.".... So what, now we should thank you because you go there and spend money? right, very altruistic of you *rolls eyes again*... and I guess I should be stoned in the city's central plaza because I AM TAKING A VERY WELL PAID JOB FROM AN AMERICAN...right!!!. You also said "You seem to have some dream in your head of moving back here and that is fine to follow your dreams but you have no grip on reality and like was posted should be thanking UTC and myself as we are giving it to you straight"...I have absolutely NOTHING to thank you two, you both have been nothing but rude, negative and sarcastic. My post clearly states I need some help, and you two are not helping at all, again, if you have nothing good to say, better don't say anything at all, besides, do you think you can come here and school me in how things are in MY OWN COUNTRY?. The place where I was born and raised? well think again because you have no idea of the possibilities MY country still holds. Keep your advice and your money, don't go making bets about other peoples lifes, people that you don't even know. This said, I am asking you Dongringo and utopiacowboy to please stop posting in my thread, I am looking for real help and you are not helping at all.
BTW thank you strobers and brody for your words, that's what I called a friendly input from you guys, thanks again.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

So.... So I guess I am taking a well paid job that an American could have by staying here?....no, wait!....the sole purpose of us moving to Colombia is taking a job away from a colombian....yeah that must be it....And maybe, just maybe my husband does not speak spanish YET because we are fairly recently married....hmmmm so many things to consider, but no! lets start judging without knowing the facts, yeah that oughta make the world better place to live!!!..Oi! La ignorancia es definitivamente atrevida, no?. *rolls eyes*.

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

utopiacowboy and DonGringo Thanks for you input but you can keep it, if you have nothing good to say don't say anything AT ALL!!!!. I am a Colombian Citizen, born and raised in there, my son is a colombian citizen as well and me and my family HAVE EVERY RIGHT IN THE CONSTITUTION AND THE CODIGO CIVIL of live and work in Colombia. You don't like the fact that my husband is American and is going to work in Colombia...too bad!!!. BTW it is people like you who give my country a bad reputation. If you think is so bad in there why don't you get out?

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on Need some help over here

WOW That is exactly what my husband says...wow!!!. ColomBuenazo, Do you have any idea if the Ministerio del Medio Ambiente in Colombia have any opening in the Sediment and Errosion Control plan, design and inspection? or if they even know about it?...Because if they don't then is a trade he can be very valuable for, don't you think?

ColombianitaintheUSA comments on More Idiot Gringos

Isn't Colombians super?!!! oh yes, we are....damn, I am so proud of being one of them... and your kind words and warm feeling towards my people made my day....just made my day. Thank you very much for seeing the beauty in our simply lifes.
Foreigns that go there to bragg about their posessions have no idea how poor they are compare to others, they are shallow and vain when the humble ones are full of spirit and rich in values.
Much Love.
