Generally in Canada you are covered by Provincial plans with no deductible or caps. Can a plan be bought in Colombia at a reasonable price. ...

happen in Bogota and Barranquilla? ...

Reasons for moving to Colombia (or any other country)

Every one has reason to settle in a new country. Some
leave because they got in a mess back home. Specifically
I'am wondering if others feel the way I feel. Life in
North America or other English speaking countries has
gotten to be too fast paced and expensive. You can't live a simple life. You need a car and house and this that this etc etc. It seems while other countries are
becoming more habitible Anglo North America is going the
opposite way. There j ...

Tornado in Barranquilla

Did the Tornado in Barranquilla have any effect on anybody? It seems Tornados are appearing in the oddest locations such as in London England last week. They are very weird looking things from a distance. They look like a black ink trail on a canvass. The sky overhead has a very bright glow while the clouds take on a very ugly green hue. ...
