jamescoscia comments on Moving to Cartagena

cartagena i know it's gonna be a bit more expensive there for me as opposed to manizales. maybe some good cheap eatery's, nightlife, and shopping that's out of the bocagrande/el centro area. also i'm interested in buying a scooter and any info regarding that would be great as well. also, areas i should stay out of.

thx peter

jamescoscia comments on Brazil

Thanks bufalo Is it expensive to travel from Colombia to Brazil? How does it compare to Cartagena?
You're not from Buffalo, NY by any chance, are you?

jamescoscia comments on Are there any other gringas with Colombian boyfriends

Thanks David for an honest reply. i'm definitely looking forward to meeting a different type of woman in Colombia, than those of south florida.

jamescoscia comments on Are there any other gringas with Colombian boyfriends

Perros? well, i hope at least a strong and noble perro like a great dane

jamescoscia comments on Are there any other gringas with Colombian boyfriends

What about the other way around? How do the women of Colombia view gringo's as boyfriends/husbands?

jamescoscia comments on Moving to Manizales

A little concerned... I hear plenty about Manizales being very small with not much to do, except for 18-24 year old crowd. How 'bout a single guy older than said group?

jamescoscia comments on Moving to Manizales

Thanks tomtom33. what do you know about Armenia?

jamescoscia comments on Moving to Manizales

Thanks for the info guys. 18-24 crowd? doesn't sounds like my type of crowd. any jazz clubs, or clubs for us older hombres (i speak for myself only)? Looks like i chose a real small town to be for the next couple years. I had a choice btwn Manizales and Medellin and thought the smaller city would be a better starter. Is it expensive to travel to other cities within Colombia?

jamescoscia comments on Moving to Manizales

scooters is having a scooter/vespa in manizales safe? what's an avg price for one?

jamescoscia comments on Moving to Manizales

Fitness Center Walking the terrain of Manizales will help, but I still want a health club/gym. Plus, I may look for some P/T work as a fitness trainer...something Ive been doing for the last 15 years.
