How happy and proud I felt to be back home en MI TIERRA!!
Hey amigos hope you are all OK, sorry If I haven’t been myself lately I know that I have changed quite a lot since I came back from my long trip to Colombia *as some other member stated* yeah I was unlucky enough to see his thread about me but I didn’t want to answer or post anything there because I see no reason why I should or why he did that I believe it was not out of concern (as he also stated). I don’t think why he should be so “concerned� about my business as I very well remembe ...
Old Colombian radio adverts
If you are colombian and you are old with a good memory then you will be able to remember them! i used to listen to these adverts when i was little and my grandmother was "listening" to her "radio-novela". that was some funny sh*t!

Aunque usted no lo crea, pero algunos veteranos sà las recuerdan. Asà eran las cuñas de radio de reconocidas marcas hace 30 años.

Colombians and criticism
Why is it that some Colombians like to talk about people behind their backs? If you dress different they will say “what the hell is he wearing?� and don’t even get me started on the creases of your clothes! They can see a crease on your shirt if they are 100 miles away from you! My aunty is one of those she would criticize people day and night saying thins like “doesn’t he have a wife to iron his shirts?� I remember once when I was in Colombia I was in the bus and the lady standing n ...

representing poor people in this forum: why do most rich or people in the middle class feel superior than us?
Ok guys I hope that you can help me out with this one…
All my life I’ve been wandering why it is that rich Colombians and even some living in the middle class are so stuck up? They feel superior and are so arrogant.
My mother worked as a maid in a house near “La Plaza de Toros� in the south of Cali she took me there one day and I soon as I went in I started to wonder why people had more money than us, these family had a huge house their daughter had a beauti ...

I was having a heart to heart talk with my father and one of his sentences was “I admire your guts, you love a challenge and you’re a tough cookie with malicia indigena in you!� what the hell is “malicia indigena� anyway?? I asked him but all he did was laugh
Do you guys know what it is? That’s it mean something? Or is my father just taking the piss? ...
I've got something to confess to you guys... I feel really scared!
I like most of you in this forum have not been entirely truthful, I am a very honest person and do not like to white wash things to make them prettier I like to tell things as they are whether they are good or bad and all that I have said about my family and the way we used to live is completely true and that is the reason that I am now living in London but the truth is that since I’ve been here in the UK I have not been able to go back to go Colombia, I have been in the UK for more than a dec ...

Celebrating Valentine's Day - Colombian style
How do Colombians celebrate Valentine’s Day anyway??
I don’t think us Colombians celebrate valentine's day do we?, we do celebrate something very similar though I think it’s called "el dia del amor y la amistad" or something like that, I have been here in the UK for so long I don’t even remember when it is or how they celebrate it I bet everybody celebrates it differently though, anyway my husband being a gringo always likes to celebrate valentine's day and I am too happy ...
Advantages and disadvantages of dating a gringo
you guys know that my hubby is a gringo who was born in colombia well the other day I went out to this colombian club; I haven’t been there in ages! I love salsa and I’m a pro at dancing whatever it is I love music and go wild when my husband takes me out but the other day he took me to this club where most people from Cali hang out and the salsa was unbelievable! It was like being back in Juanchito! But I spent most of the time sitting down because my husband doesn’t know how to dance sal ...
Looking for a better life???
I think we all have taken that step; this forum is full of people that are either Colombians or with Colombian backgrounds or gringos living there or with some attachment to Colombia... whatever it is we have all been there... We have experienced both worlds and know that there is a huge difference between one country and another... no other country is the same as Colombia and people need to know this before actually making that step...
People usually leave their own country to t ...
Cyber relationships
A few years ago I was feeling very low and with no one to talk to so I decided to surf the net and let time pass by, I went to this Colombian website and decided to enter the chat room, my nick was la mona (i used to be blonde) I scanned all the other nicks to choose who to talk to and there he was my husband his nick was el mono (he's a natural blonde).
I was a bit shy and did not know what to say the truth was that I haven’t had a relationship since my ex who used to beat me ...
Drugs, violence and death
I was in a violent relationship, my ex hit me so badly one time that I lost our baby boy (I was 6 months pregnant) he used to make my life so miserable after I lost his baby boy he became even worst he even suggested that I sleep with one of his friends to make money for him and when I decided to leave him he drugged me and raped me my family didn’t know and when they found out they almost killed him I then became really drawn and unhappy.
A friend of mine introduced me to what ...
Colombian culture
I have decided to write something useful for a change, I usually talk about the dark side of things and like to tell people how tough it is to live in Colombia because I like to tell things as they are and not white wash them to make them look prettier although our country can be a little messed up our culture still the same and that is what I miss the most being so far from it makes me realized how precious our country is. I love mi gente crazy as they are! We sure know how to enjoy ourselves. ...

Colombia's Coke
Will Colombia ever end its cocaine trafficking? That’s one of the questions in my mind every time I go to visit one of my friends at the Brixton prison in London, you see I’m one of the lucky ones people keep telling me this over and over again, I’ve always been a wild child always stood by my own rules without a care in the world now a bit older and wiser, married and with a kid of my own I’ve learned to stay well cleared of things like that but its not easy it’s been really tough but ...

Ojo con el sexo!!
Los cientÃfÃcos han determinado que el acto sexual dura aproximadamente 8 minutos, el promedio de penetración del pene en la vagina es de 30 veces por minuto, lo que indica que en el acto sexual hay 240 penetraciones. Puesto que el pene tiene un promedio de 15 cm. en erección significa que a la mujer le introducen 3.600 cm., o sea 36 metros de pene por relación sexual. Generalmente las mujeres hacen el amor (con suerte) 3 veces por semana y como el año tiene 52 semanas, esto significa que ...
