I recently learned about Tumbacatre and Tumbaseca drinks and I am very curious to try them myself. Does anyone have any recipe for these drinks? They are supposed to have originated in the Pacific/Atlantic coast regions. Please share.... ...

The COOLEST and TRENDIEST COLOMBIAN café (by no means a bakery) just opened up in hip, artsy and up-and-coming Greenpoint, Brooklyn (the next Williamsburg)...only 10 minute train ride from Jackson Heights, Queens on the G train.

After a lot blood, sweat and tears, I have managed to open my first small business, a cool, 100% Colombian Café/Gallery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY. I am looking for a reasonably-priced Graphic Designer who can design my website. However, my budget is very limited since I am just starting my first business. I am looking to spend NO MORE than $180-$200. I'd really appreciate if anyone can help a fellow Colombian out with his first enterprise. Funds can be paid via Paypal. I can be contacted ...

I just wanted to share that I and my family are more than WILLING and READY to vote for CARLOS GAVIRIA this coming Sunday.
Most likely FURIBE will win, but it will be a "political dream come true" to have him go through a second round.
Incidently, has anyone one read in the papers today HOW the right-wing PARAMILITARIES are COERCING and INTIMIDATING people in CIUDAD BOLIVAR and throughout the country to vote for their LEADER HEAD OF STATE? ...

Uribe and Catholic right-wing leaders have agreed to pass a bill within the next week, which will reinstate the teaching of religion in PUBLIC and private schools. THIS IS A GROSS VIOLATION OF THE CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATION PRINCIPLE IN A MODERN REPUBLIC!!
Uribe wants to take the the country down the MIDDLE-AGES, PRE-ENLIGHTNMENT, REGRESSIVE path.
RELIGION has no business in the affairs of the REPUBLIC.
A enacted law like this would only be the DREAM of the RIGHT-WING, ...
Although I am a Colombian MESTIZO, I truly celebrate and embrace Colombian diversity, especially when it's centered on Indigenous and Afro-Colombian cultures.
I commend the Magazine Carrusel for its latest issue about Afro-Colombians. Colombians have such an incredible, unique and interesting culture diversity..... IF THEY ONLY FULLY EMBRACED IT....

There is a upcoming romantic comedy film to be released in the US soon. It was taped 70% in Bogotá and 30% in Miami.
The film presents a different face of the country, albeit it is a CHEESY romantic comedy.
I guess it's a good start to switch and balance the current overwhelming tide of Colombian film noir about the war and human desolation.
The following is the movie's web site:

Bush Faces Tough Time in South America
By LARRY ROHTER
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 1 - If George W. Bush is expecting some respite from his troubles at home during a four-day visit to Argentina and Brazil that begins Thursday, he is in for a very rude awakening.
Polls show Mr. Bush to be the most unpopular American pres ...

In the spirit of helping each other out wherever we might be in the globe, I find the pressing need of creating a network of professionals to collaborate in different enterprenurship, cultural and educational projects, community issues, career advise, immigration counseling, job and housing referrals among many other topics.
The first step is to SURVEY who we are and what we could bring to the table.
Please describe:

Plátano has recently taken up the task to expose us to the great and illuminating work that some Colombian scientists are currently undertaking inside Colombia and abroad. I commend Plátano for doing that.
I, as an Engineer and a rationalist, very much appreciate and value the fascinating ouvre these fellow Colombians are doing for the well-being of, not only Colombians, but humanity as well.
I want to add a newly-found list of additional Scientists and Investi ...
Although Uribe's safety and economic achievements are to be acknowledged, his REELECTION dreams are to be greatly criticized.
If URIBE really CARED about solidifying the rule of law, strengthening democratic institutions and the importance of the constitutional process, he WOULD HAVE advised his own party to have ANOTHER Uribe-like candidate run on his platform next year so he could have run for reelection in the 2010-2014 term. This would have shown that the success of Uribe' ...
In today's El Tiempo editorial, Uribe's goverment is being SCOLDED for having the military REPRESS peaceful dissent by attacking, hurting and killing calmed INDIGENOUS protestors yesterday on a march that took place in the southern part of the country.
Check today's editorial: http://eltiempo.terra.com.co/opinion/reda/2005-10-12/ARTICULO-WEB-_NOTA_INTERIOR-2565908.html

Plan Colombia (PC) has never been an effective way to combat drug production and drug traficking in Colombia. When PC was presented by Pastrana to the Clinton Administration in the mid-1990's, it proposed that about 70% of the funding would be used for social development, infrastructure development and alternative crops, and 30% for enforcement. The Republican congress and the Administration subverted the plan, and switch over the numbers, 20-30% for social development and the rest for enforcenm ...

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
A group of Colombian congressmen led by Ciro Ramirez are now calling Colombians into VIOLENCE, and to RIOT in the streets if the Supreme Court rules against URIBE's reelection. Ramirez also believes that Colombians must dismiss the ruling of the profoundly democratic body, if this is unfavorable to Uribe.
Ramirez must IMMEDIATELY be EXPELLED and permanently REMOVED from congress!! It seems that he is not aware of the fundamental principles of a worki ...
LA REELECCIÓN INMEDIATA
¿Difícilmente reemplazable? (30 de agosto de 2005)
No se juega el futuro de una persona, sino la institucionalidad de un país.
Finalmente, El TIEMPO tomó posición editorial al apoyar la reelección presidencial y, más particularmente, la de Álvaro Uribe. Como firmante de una de las demandas, respeto sus argumentos. Incluso, que no hayan considerado las condiciones en que se desarrolló el debate, ni las negociaciones y prebenda ...
Yesterday's El Tiempo Editorial advocated for the immediate reelection of Uribe. It was expected that this paper would throw its support to the current administration; after all, Uribe's VICE-PRESIDENT Santos is the son of the newspaper owner (Talking about independant media..hehe).
But that aside, this is why Uribe MUST NOT be immediately reelected: An immediate reelection would only evidence that Colombia has not stopped being a THIRD WORLD BANANA REPUBLIC in which the country's peopl ...
I just want to extend my congratulations to all Colombians and Friends of Colombia today, Colombia's Independence day from imperial Spain.

Recently, a gay couple who are friends of mine asked me about traveling to South America to gay-friendly places for their Summer vacation. They were debating to either go to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires (La Recoleta)where they have a nascent and developing tourism industry that exclusively caters the gay population (Argentinians are smart, they know gay people is the perfect tourism market because they have travel a lot, they spend good money; they're educated and cosmopolitan, and ...
It's historically well known that the US nunca HA DADO UN REVERENDO PITO about the Organization of American States (OAS); except when it needs to push its own egotistical political agenda, and to further its commercial interests.
However, in the latest OAS' opening session this past weekend, on behalf of the US government, La Nueva Dama de Hierro, Condolezza Rice made a controversial proposal to create a new unit to "monitor" democracies in Latin America. Can someone define what "monitor ...
