They are people that are traveling, have a family, and work too, they have different kind of activities at the day, that differ at stay in front of the Computer on internet in PBH.com site reading all kind of post and coments in this website. Sometimes MODS make mistakes, who not? they are human too. They try that in PBH will be allways armony betwen readers and writers. I apreciate their work because I think it could not be paid, and all the time 21,390 users of PBH are writing something, in an new and old post. "if you note there is a lot of BLLSHT coments or topics, and spam around the website. It could be hard work, some topics start serius and comments become BLLSHT" MODS only want to offer their help for travelers in diferent kind of post. I think if you think that you could do a better work that any MODS do, try to become an MOD too. Your help will be apreciated for PBH users and Peter.

realstate comments on webmanco I want to ask you something, how many Bogotá’s girls have you seen in magazine covers? For Example in Soho or maxium magazine? Less than 10, or even 5. If you look their last names or info about that Bogotá’s girls, you can note that their parents are foreigners (or from other city of Colombia) they were married and/or living in Colombia but at least she born in Bogotá. Almost all Bogotá girls that are magazine covers have one or two foreigner’s last names. The thing that make special at the Bogota Girls is that could be the most sophisticated or women with more class or educated in Colombia. But are not too far from girls from another important cities

The hotel had two towers but both buildings it wasn’t finished, even was not furnished and has workers doing walls from the half to top of both towers, some time later hotel went broke. The hotel was very close to Tequendama hotel. There will be another Hilton Hotel that will be reopened at the north of the city at 82 st, a few months later.

I writed down it’s in USD, I go to an Banco Popular ATM and make a consult for my balance, It is in COLP. I take the COLP amount and divided by the USD amount. And I have the exchange rate at this moment. I noted, that for example on Friday the official exchange rate was $2.030 COLP per dollar. But in a moment my bank is going to pay me at $2.005 at the morning, and in the afternoon my ATM is going to pay me at $2.040 COLP per dollar.
