meche640 comments on Learning Spanish in Colombia

Come on you guys! I was really dissapointed to read this, please tell me we are much more educated than this. Colombian Spanish?? What is that, there isn't such a language. Sure Spanish vocabulary varies slightly from Central America, South America, Caribbean to Spain but Spanish is Spanish. Let's educate our friends that are learning the language not confuse them dven more!

Cheers!

meche640 comments on First time to Colombia

First time to Colombia in 26 years! Its been 26 years since I've been to Colombia, I know pretty bad but I have a good reason. With school and work quite frankly I haven't had the opportunity something always came up. Now in December I will be returning for the first time visitig relatives since I moved to he U.S. and seeing brothers I haven't seen in over 12 years. I'm extremely excited but are also trying to prepare for the worst. I hear things are pretty tuff down there. My question is this. I was told I need a Colombian passport since I was born in Colombia. I'm a U.S. citizen and have a U.S passport why would I need a Colombian passport. Can someone clarify this for me or direct me to where I can obtain this information. Thanks for your help---Meche
