elregaloperfecto.com comments on Colombia robbed of beating Brazil

Whatever dude, Colombia was not robbed of anything. The re missed 2 penalty kicks (one for each), not just one.

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on HSBC ON strike

Anyone is better off using other banks ( Credito, Sudameris).. as HSBC is just not good.

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Head Hunters for Finance in Bogota (or other cities)

You have an uphill battle, unless you have a special skill that others here don't have. I don't want to discourage you, but you better have some friends in high places. http://www.elregaloperfecto.com

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on hi, anyone has made international calls with this service? (different for skype or msn)

This is a legitimate startup company, they are well funded and they are trying to disrupt the telecom industry with their service. I have used them and heard good things from others. Their service is a bit confusing the way it works. I gues what you do is initiate a call online. That means you click on a link and then your phone rings. As soon as you answer, it starts ringing for the other person.

 

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Alberto Santofimio convicted in '89 Galan killing

what happened today is shameful, it's ridiculous. since when does saying "you have to eliminate him" make you a murderer? only in colombia. since when does escobar take orders from others? santofimio may have said something to the effect of "you have to get rid of him" but i'm sorry, that does not make him akiller, he did not pull the trigger, he did not hire the gunmen, he did not not plan the murder. the truth is they are using santofimio as a scapegoat, this is such a political decision and don't get me wrong, i don't even know santofimio, i'm just sad that the colombian justice system takes the words of 'popeye' at face value. popeye stands to gain a lot from these 'confessions' i.e. a shorter sentence in jail

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Oliver Stone to produce "Escobar" movie...

if this movie ever gets made it will likely be your typical hollywwod flick where colombia is sh&thole and the gringos take credit for whatever the movie is about, in this case for finding and killing pablo this can't be good for colombia, or medellin

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Bogota Local's: I need your help!

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Sending Money from Uk to Colombia

englishhunk, i know a way, send a gift certificate instead of sending cash... it NOT does cost anywhere near 17 per each 100

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Gift certificates to Colombia

Delivery in Medellin will be a reasonable 3.99 or something very close to that. Likely no service charge.

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Gift certificates to Colombia

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Gift certificates to Colombia

we've received some really good suggestions for improvements to the site from pbh readers... thanks to all who took the time to write us (and make a purchase!) everyone at www.elregaloperfecto.com is working hard to deliver those Amor y Amistad orders on time today. Orders received from this point on will likely be delivered tomorrow. thanks again! we will soon have a toll-free order line too

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Gift certificates to Colombia

we currently offer carrefour, carulla, jeans&jackets, pepe ganga, totto, fds, tejidos zephir, juvenia and will offer many others in the near future... you wouldn't want to send your mother an exito gift certificate for mother's day, would you? ;)

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Gift certificates to Colombia

Just got an email with a question, I'll answer it here: the site's payment system is US-based (through BofA). Therefore, if your credit card is form a US bank, there are no exchange rates to think about. In other words, if your shopping cart's total was $24.99 that's the exact same amount that will show up in your credit card bill.

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Gift certificates to Colombia

Oh, and we do also offer those 'other' gifts by the way (flowers, cakes, baskets) and the offer also applies to those (Bogota addresses only); we guarantee delivery today, Saturday the 15th, on orders placed before 6 pm US eastern time. Orders placed later will be delivered tomorrow (16th), if not today.

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Col banks ?

get used to it bro, the other day I had to get a printout of my previous 90 day transactions so I went to Bancolombia and requested the listing, the lady said 'sure, it's 3500 pesos per sheet" so I said 'fine, go ahead' ... she handed me the papers.... get this, they only use the top third of each page, so i ended up paying like 35 thousand for a damn printout.... f&*king crooks! If they used the full sheet it would have been like 4 pages total

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Where should I go?

been to San Andres? I would get the heck out of the coffee zone for the weekend...

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on EasyFly

EasyFly will be using Embraer aircraft mostly for short-haul flights between Bogota and secondary airports. They will be, I guess, the Colombian version of a low-cost airline. They are putting together a web interfeace for ticket purchasing in order to sidestep the travel agency mafia.

 

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Trying to find family in Bogota!

elregaloperfecto.com comments on Who has been mugged in the last two years....???

I was a victim of the paseo millonario a few years ago... took a cab on friday night, around 9, and as i was taking the cash out of my wallet to pay the driver in front of my building his 2 accomplices got in on both sides.. thay grabbed me and took me for a ride... you all probably know the rest... just be careful when taking cabs, look around at all times during the ride, be alert, make sure the driver does not deviate from the route or take a detour; when you first get in the cab, make a call on your cell (or pretend to make a call) and read outloud his name from the sign and the license plate to whomever is on the other side of the call, make sure the driver hears you do this.
