Tylenol in Colombia...

Is Tylenol sold in Colombia, and if so, is it under a different name? If it is not sold, what is the Colombia equivalent? Thanks

San Andres (I want some suggestions)

I am going to be in San Andres February 5 through 10. I have read online about what to do, Johnny Cay, where to eat, so on and so forth. But I want some suggestions from you folks. Those that have been, what should I not miss. My girlfriend and I (she is from Bogota) are staying at Hotel Casablanca. It wasn't our first choice, but after looking online, I am quite excited.

Cell Phone for a friend...

I need a little help. I have a friend that lives in Bogota. I want to buy her a Nokia 7373 (the pink one...lol) cell phone. I have had no luck at purchasing one online from one of the sites listed on here. I have tried to buy something from "the Colombian e-bay" and was not happy with the modes of payment. Anyway, I can not find the phone on any of the online sites that are listed on here in posts. I would really like to buy one online and have shipped there. Preferably a Colombian locatio ...
