I would like to know if this course is held in Colombia and where it is held
Many countries of the world have sent thier sympathies about the viloence in London, because colombia have for many years experienced similar things I would like to know what the people of Colombia are saying. also has your president said anything about the attack. Could we learn any thing from Colombia on how to deal with terrorism ...
If you remember TV nation the weekly programme Michael Moore made which interestingly was made a big success by the BBC, because after a few trial programmes the BBC siad that they would fund half the costs of making a regualr programme. I would love to see Michael Moore in Colombia walking up to corrupt politicians and asking them difficult questions, I was just thinking what type of stunts could he pull of in Colombia.
Some of the things he did in tv nation were:
Make 1 ...
(Kerry's original message about buying a Starbucks franchise in Colombia was deleted. Starbucks does not franchise.) -Moderators
There are two types of education: the formal type, school uni etc. This type we will talk about first. What are the standards like in Colombia, as I ahve no idea. The only thing I know is that when i was in Colombia children as young as 8 were given home work of 2 hours each day which I thought was taking away thier childhood.
The second type of education is teaching people to think for themselves, this completely goes against the structure of formal education: The yanks have give ...
When I stayed 2 months in Bogota I felt it was very much a modern city with a lot of concrete and built with the car in mind. Some Gringos live in Bogota, if you have chosen to specifically live in Bogota I would be interested in knowing why. What does Bogota do for you. Maybe I dont know Bogota well enough but tome it seemed like mass traffic high pollution and buildings going up every where. ...
In my last post ( it is increasinly difficult living with my wife ) a few men talked about there colombian wife or girlfriend hitting them, one of them talked about real frequent aggresive violent behaviour. How common is it for Colombian women to hit there husband or boyfriend. One woman in my last post sais that you should set up a battered husbands group ...
Many people have offered my wife used baby clothes from there own babies. She says no I won't accept them because I only want new clothes for the baby. She says there is a difference in culture in colombia we only buy new clothes. Colombian people will often dress immaculately with rolex watches and they don't have much money. It does seem that image is everything in Colombia. Even the newsreaders have to look beautiful with shining white than white teeth. Is Colombia a flashy superficial cultur ...
I have been married for 2 years and we have an 18 month old son. Wy wife has always had mood swings. Often very aggressive at times she looks at me with real violence when talking. She shouts at me as well. She does not just lose her temper it is a real hatred and anger in her eyes towards me. I dont think this is a cultural difference, I want to ask you if it is in the sense that when women lose thier tempers how bad would it get if colombian women are highly emotional. Has anyone else had a wi ...
in 2012. But for the last 30 years some group or individual has predicted the end of the world every month. The jehovahs Witnesses did in the 60s or 70s according to there mathmatical precision based on the bible. Frpm 1990 to the year 2000 so many groups and individuals predicted the end of the world, more than at any time in history and they often told us the exact day and they all woke up the next day thinking what will i see when i look out the window, and yes they saw cars going along and p ...
WHY DONT COLOMBIAN PEOPLE SHOULD GET REALLY ANGRY ABOUT THE CORRUPTION THAT IS DESTROYING EVERYTHING
Corruption is some thing that ensures that Colombia will never get any where, if it wants to improve the economic and social problems of poverty. People keep saying how emotional colombians are. If that is true and all colombian people were completely angry for a week by going to the politicians houses and smashing up thier cars and showing them pictures of children with malnutriti ...
I really do think that corruption in south america is not just a few bad people in senior positions but a way of being for south american people. I think that corruption is a natural aspect of the people of south america.
I am not saying colombian people are dishonest. What I am saying is that if someone gets a senior position they expect to use it purely for there own advantage. So many south american people have talked to me about corruption nationally locally and in their own families. ...
Most cocaine has blood connected to it in some way. Many people die as a result of trafficking. The farmers that grow the coco leafs get pennies. I think it is about time for fair trade cocaine where the farmer gets a fair cut and no poor person dies in the trafficking. Remember that only a few people in the coke industry make a fortune the rest get very little ...
Has anyone else experienced this. She will explode over a few innocent words said is this normal
Lets be truthful about Bogota it really is an urban sprawl. Central Bogota has some lovely old buildings and I love la Candaleria. It can only be described as beautiful, but apart from that Bogota is a modern city with dual carriageways going all the way in to the centre. It has been built for cars not people. Every where there are motorways and new red brick blocks of flats being built. It seems money talks and the enviroment and people have to fit in.
Even North Bogota is very modern l ...
I have had some real flirty behaviour from my girlfriends mum and some other female relatives. This does not happen in front of my girlfriend but behind her back. Are they just having fun or are they serious. Does this happen a lot or is it unusual. Has anyone else had problem with keeping other females at aby while in a relationship ...
Sometimes my girlfriend that is from Bogota explodes in to a violent rage. I do at times feel there is an inner violence in Colombian people that they surpress but if they cant surpress it which they are not that good at you will see them not losing thier temper but losing thier temper in a very violent way. With a face screwed up and a killer look. Have I just got a bad girlfriend or are many Colombian women like this ...
