Thanks for the reactions. I wrote the ministerio to get things clear. I am worried for if something happens I am going to be hassled. So I hope the ministerio write something clear where I can refer too. Or we need to investigate the handgun story.

Janneman comments on Sending Money from Uk to Colombia

Janneman comments on HAS ANYONE SEEN THE DOCUMETARY LA SIERRA

For some reason there is never a straight answer about violence around Medellin. My biggest question is if its still happening ? Cause its a pretty scary idea to share a town with people who are used to this kind of violence.

Janneman comments on Colombia Peso Rally Will Turn Into Rout

Import goods to improve Colombia Isn't this the perfect time for Colombia to import goods to improve some situations. Like a good broadband cable for Medellin, agriculture machinery, airplanes, camara's in some areas etc.

Please keep the cynisme out of it.

Janneman comments on I almost got shot! be careful out there!

Chauvanistic Colombians & Paranoid Americans This makes Colombia the worst country to talk about.
