taking a white powder to colombia

Hey Guys and Gals,
i am going to Bogota next week and I have a question directed to those in the know. I take creatine a fine white powder that helps me with my sports and work outs. It is a white powder that could look exactly like another white powder. I am not taking the package b/c it is huge. Should I not take it? Or will they understand that I am a vain american and need my creatine so I can have massive biceps? Thanks. P.S. I am not really that vain. ...

Girlfriend Robbed Again.....

Fuc#ing Colombia. Robbed in the middle of the freakin day in the middle of the sidewalk next to the Bank. Did any fu#king Colombiano help her?? What do you think? How about the fu#king Police(laddrones) oh yeah they rushed to the scene. I have visited Colombia now for 3 years and if it was not for my beautiful novia I would just assume go anywhere else(Camden, Detroit, DC.). Yes Colombia is beautiful and breathtaking but the majority of the people are third world. I realise that I am very non po ...

GQ Magazine on Dating in Colombia

Anybody read the article in GQ about the Gringo and the Colombiana? Pretty funny stuff. Guy from NYC wants a hot Latina so he travels to Barrenquilla on a "arranged meeting" with some marriage service. The girl he really wants has a novia(Jhorny-who is a friend of mine) so he picks the next hottest one. Takes her back to the States she cooks and cleans and takes care of him in the cama..but then all hell breaks loose. Check it out if you want a good read. ...

return from cucuta

What a shi#hole. But I had a great time. It is not as hot as everyone says, not like Cartagena but the air pollution is repressive. I am an avid runner and I think if was to run 2km that I may get lung cancer. I stayed at the Hotel Tonchala and it was comfortable and rather nice($60 a night). Good air conditioning and Hot Water(what more can you ask for in South America). I had a great time with a yong lady that I had recently met in Costa Rica. Food was cheap and she could care less about shopp ...

Babar Disco in Bogota

Hey Guys, My girlfriend just got a job at this Disco in Bogota(Babar). No, I dont like it but she needs the money because I do not send her any and she never asks. She had a "office job" recently but the Boss was coming on too strong (more than they usually do).
I know that they gave her a job at the Disco because she is FINE and it does not really bother me. But I would like to know more about this club if any of you regulars know. ...

My Colombian Girlfriend

Well Guys it has been almost a year dating a Colombiana and I have learned quite alot thanks to you Guys and Lifes experience. I have got to say that I thought that most of you Guys were a little insensitive and harsh regarding info about woman from Colombia, but as time went by I began to realize that you Guys are pretty much on the mark. She is jealous (went through my computer), her friends all hit on me (including her mom), her family all want Gringo Bucks ($), she talked about our sex life ...

My Colombian Girlfriend

Hello to all. I am headed to Cartagena to visit my GF next month. I have an immigration abogada here in the states who thinks we would have better luck with a fiance visa rather than a visitors visa. We have no plans to marry for at least two years. Any comments ideas would be appreciated. ...

She wants to go to Panama

Hey Guys, me again with another problem. My GF from Cartagena wants us to go on vacation in Panama. Which sounds nice and romantic and all but guess who is paying? I would rather we just travel somewhere in Colombia b/c my main goal is to be with her without the watchful eyes of her family(yes they gave us permission). I would like to add that my secondary goal is not to de-flower her but rather to get to know her better. I have visited twice over the past year and it is diffucult sometimes with ...

My Colombian Girlfriend

Hey Guys y Gals. My Colombiana y Yo want to visit Panama. She told me that it requires a $1000.00 deposit for her to travel there. Does anybody know anything about this? Thanks

mY Colombiana

My Girlfriends parents have agreed to let us go on a vacation alone. We are planning to travel to Panama. She recently checked with a travel service and for her to travel to Panama she needs to pay $1000.00. It seems to me to be a bit expensive. Any opinions or facts would help.Thanks. ...

Another Question about my Colombian GF

My girlfriend and I are doing fine. I spent a week with her and her family several weeks ago and now we are applying for her visa to come to the states. I know it will take some time before she can visit. I also know that there is a 50/50 chance of her being able to visit. We speak or email every day and we are both excited about the possibilities. Also, her mom emials me about every other day. I told her mom recently that there is a chance that my G/F will not be able to visit here. Her mom sai ...

Buy plane ticket in US or Colombia?

My girlfriend and her mom are going to fly to Bogota in the near future for her appointment with the embassey. Would it be better for her to make the reservation in Cartagena, or should I do it here in the States? ...

I just paid the lawyer $350

My lawyer in Atlanta only charged me $350 to complete all of the forms and make sure my g-friend in Cartagena does everything correctly. I have a good education but I am not detail-guy. I have left my wallet at the Grocery store so many times that they know me, anyway does this $350 sound reasonable? We are applying for a visitors visa b/c the lawyer said if they embassy in Bogota remotely thinks she is coming here to stay they will deny her visa. She is not coming here to stay, by the way.(in c ...

My Colombian Girlfriend

Well I just returned from Cartagena and I had a wonderful time. First of all Cartagena is really hot. I mean really hot. I live in Atlanta and it felt like winter when I returned(it was 88F). I met a lovely young women on a website that my best friend reccomended. We communicated for 5 months (email,phone,letters) and I finally got to meet her and her family. While she has never asked me for a dime her two brothers hit me up for new Nikes. I felt strange giving them the money but I figured that ...
