Citizenship Questions!?!

My wife is going this month for the citizenship exam. We found the studyguide online. We also found about 100 pages on U.S. history and 60 on U.S. government. Does anyone know if these extensive readings will be on part of the exam questions or is she fine just using the study guide w/ sample questions? ...

Los Indigenos de Colombia

Hace una semana que volví de Colombia. Durante las dos semanas que pase alla yo fui a Villa de Leyva y aprendi un poco de los Muiscas de Colombia. Me parecio muy interesante y si quieren ver fotos de VDL ya tengo aqui. Solo quiero compartir esta pagina sobre ellos: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muiscas
En VDL yo vi la laguna de donde creyeron que salio Bachue. Si saben algo mas de ellos o otros indigenos Pre-colombianos me gustaria aprender mas. ...

Camp Sites or Weekend Getaways near Bogota?

I was wondering if anyone can recommend any good places to go camping (or just a get away) outside of Bogota. I prefer some where warmer since I'll be goin w/the family. I love Melgar but we always go there. Suesca is beautiful but I think it might be too cold for the kids to enjoy. I heard of some places with thermal springs but don't know if the ...

Andean Open Market

I know AFTA is still in the works but I thought there was one between just the Andean community, trying to develop an open market completely or are they the same?

Rolos!!

Anything about Bogota and it's people!

My wife is from Bogota. I've been there many times and love the city. Her family lives in Soacha which many people have told me is a very dangerous part of the city but I always stay there and have not had any problems, I think it is worse on the other side of the Autopisto Sur; San Mateo and southward. Both of my two sons were born in el hospital Palermo. We usually go salsa dancing near Plaza de las Americas (closer to Soacha) but there is ...
