Peter (Moderator) comments on Debt... Can they track me down in Colombia? When I was in Brazil, Biggs was charging 500$ for interviews, trying to make some extra money.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Registering my child in order to obtain citizenship In the end, there are really no strong pro's or cons (since she can always request the citizenship later herself, and apart from when she wants to actually live in Colombia, there are not many strong pros or cons), so I guess it's a matter of personal preference. Me for one, I am quite happy that my little girl is a Colombian as well.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Registering my child in order to obtain citizenship There might be more benefits like: if someone in Colombia decides to make her the recipient of a inheritance for example, it might be easier to do if she's a Colombian citizen too. But I'm not sure at all about this - just thinking...

Peter (Moderator) comments on Registering my child in order to obtain citizenship So, benefit of registering: - She can enter Colombia as a citizen with her Colombian passport and stay as long as she wants, no need for the 6-month stay maximum that regular tourists have. - She can be more aware of her Colombian heritage. - If she ever wants to go live in Colombia, it'll be slightly easier for her (no need to get her citizen papers done anymore). - She can show off her citizen-of-the-worldness to her friends ;) Drawbacks: - if she enters the country with both parents as a Colombian citizen, and then 1 parent leaves, additional paperwork may be needed before the other parent can leave with her. I think you could address this by just entering on her other nationality's passport, although she's legally obliged not to.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Registering my child in order to obtain citizenship We got our daughter Colombian citizenship at 6 months old. The main reason is that we figure we might as well have her set up with all the passports and citizenships she might need. Plus I like the thought of her being a Colombian citizen, it gives me a feeling of not loosing that heritage. I haven't looked into the "travel with 1 parent paperwork" issue.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Pacific Coast recommendations? Nuqui is interesting. You can take a pain from Medellin.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Registering my child in order to obtain citizenship As far as I know, benefits are: she can more easily visit Colombia, and she can also easily move to Colombia. Drawbacks: none that I know of. What other nationality does she have?

Peter (Moderator) comments on hostles and 3 small children You could also try the Platypus http://www.platypusbogota.com If you want a room there, make sure to make a reservation, and mention the kids. Herman might also be able to find you a place somewhere else that's good for the kids. Ecuador is easy to get too and fun and safe, although not that close by really. Venezuela is more complicated as mentioned above. Parque Tayrona is indeed great for camping, and San Gil is indeed a great stopover o the way to the coast.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Hiking to La Ciudad Perdid - when, where, how? Any of the hostels can arrange the tour, and you pay the same, so just ask in the hostels.

Peter (Moderator) comments on houstongal Glad you like the newsfeed. It should show a number at the top (like: "newsfeed (1)"), whenever there's something new :)

Peter (Moderator) comments on Safety of Buenaventura to Pereira bus? Just remember to sing "en bus a pereira" on the tune of Sade's "smooth operator" ;)

Peter (Moderator) comments on $40,000 to invest, Hate Uk, Want to live in colombia, Barranquilla or Cartagena You could also do this: go there, rent an appartment, get a job as an english teacher, your wife can also look for a job. Then, once you're settled in, you can *slowly* look for a good business opportunity to invest that money in. It's much easier to do when you're there already.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Another positive for Colombia's Medical Care Was this the netto cost, nothing else covered by your insurance?

Peter (Moderator) comments on What happened to the "edit" CatGirl: which browser (internet explorer? firefox) and which version (internet explorer 5? 6?) are you using? You can find out by clicking on HELP > ABOUT in the browser toolbar.

Peter (Moderator) comments on to live in Colombia ? It all depends a lot on your preferences and cirumstances. Best town: it's mostly personal preference. Cost of life: are you shooting for a "middle class" lifestyle? Difficulties: what's your background?

Peter (Moderator) comments on Can I bring 1-3 flat screen TVs with me on flight? Ah you mean you want to check it in as regular luggage?
|
|
|
Peter (Moderator) comments on Can I bring 1-3 flat screen TVs with me on flight? mmm, call the airline first. It's probably too large so they have grounds to refuse.

Peter (Moderator) comments on New features She can if she considers your comment against the rules :)
|
|
|
Peter (Moderator) comments on New features Friends updates are gone for now... As for the flagging: abusing the flagging system is also against the rules ;) We'll see how it goes, we're counting on you guys to help point out comments that break the rules..

Peter (Moderator) comments on Test link to google mmm.. I don't like new windows. digg.com doesn't open links in a new window either, right? If you're on Firefox or the new IE, you can do CTRL-click to open in a new tab...

Peter (Moderator) comments on Making changes Catgirl, when you sign in, can you then post comments? What screen is it (can you post the url?)
|
|

Peter (Moderator) comments on Making changes Everyone had the "moderator" text next to their name for a moment there. You never had the moderator powers though :(

Peter (Moderator) comments on Making changes Catgirl: still having problems? Rubito: I'm pretty sure it's not this site :) Gringoloid: deleted the duplicate signups. Rocinante: thanks. I figured out the problem with the ajax comments. Also, looking into the edit button issue.

Peter (Moderator) comments on Making changes OK I have to give up the debugging of the comment problem right now, will look into it tomorrow (it's too late). I have a good idea of what it is but I'm way too tired to think straight to fix it...
|
|
|
Peter (Moderator) comments on Making changes After you click "flag" there's 1 more step before the flag is submitted, so clicking it accidentally isn't a problem. But you're right, they're too close. Still working on the comment problem.
