Rico comments on New Colombian Scam Your ID name tells it all! By itself, your ID does tell a story. A person that is mesmerized is a person that is easily hypnotized and easily moved by hypnotic suggestions. Are you giving people that kind of impression? If you are, you are on the wrong track. I mean, if you give others that kind of impression, they will try to con you. There's no ifs or buts to this one! If you act like a sucker, you will be played like a sucker!

Rico comments on New Colombian Scam Very fishy indeed... Friendship? Are you putting me on? That doesn't sound like a friend to me. People do change! So right now it sounds like a scam is being played out. Now, since I don't like playing THE FOOL, I would NOT send any money. Instead, I would say that I don't have the money, and I would stall. In due time, the story will continue to evolve and transform. Maybe after a while, you will know the truth...the whole truth! Right now, of course, you are in the dark.

Rico comments on Pereira or Cali? Etc... Religions of the world... All the religions of the world have the Golden Rule: "Love thy neighbor as yourself." They have it to maintain order and civility.

Rico comments on Treatment of Black tourists from USA or England There's a big difference... Colombians treat foreign tourists very, very well. It does NOT matter if they are black or asian, etc. With them, they are "color blind!"

Rico comments on What the hell ???????? Young Germans... I must say there's a generation gap in Germany. Young Germans are much more open and communicative than their elders (just like Americans). The older generations still carry a bit of the paranoia and suspiciousness of the difficult post-war period.

Rico comments on The thing about Americans is that.... Chip on the shoulder When it comes to the USA, a lot of people around the world carry a chip on their shoulders. Sometimes, the chip is a 2X4 piece of lumber. Being the top dog among nations does carry a price, and the price is ENVY!

Rico comments on What the hell ???????? Your culture? Believe me, German culture is NOT your culture. You might think it is, but it is NOT. Germans can be very, very aloof and even rude in public, as Mr Hollywood explains so well.

Rico comments on My cousin was sent back to Colombia, and Couldn't get in US USA: Give the guy a break... Man, they should give this military man a break. After all, he will be going to a very, very dangerous place: IRAQ! That's really a shame!

Rico comments on Colombia’s social class Only after marriage! You must marry them first. That's the hard part!!! I'm sure they will NOT give you much without a marriage certificate.

Rico comments on Colombia’s social class Odee women DO accept... Elmo: Did you get it right? I don't think so.

Rico comments on Colombia’s social class What Renteria carries... I didn't express my self clearly above. So I will give it a 2nd try.

Rico comments on Colombia’s social class www.odee.com Odee.com is a Bogota-based marriage agency that specializes in white Colombian women that are highly educated. While looking at the girls, I noticed that most of the women desiring marriage do NOT mind men with "tanned skins." That, of course, is a code word for men that are dark skinned. Mind you, these are women who are doctors, dentists, lawyers and architects (not low-class dummies). That sure made an impact on me! I mean, it is the kind of "open mindedness" that I did not expect from the women of Bogota. Are things changing? Maybe they are. Who knows? At least, these women DO ACCEPT dark guys!!!

Rico comments on Colombia’s social class Oh, really... I am sure Edgar Renteria has a nice, big water-front mansion in Miami, and he does not care one bit about entering clubs in Barranquilla or Medellin. Once you become a multi-millionaire in the USA, you have plenty of options on how to spend your money. There's also plenty of good-looking, blue-eyed blondes that want him in the sack badly! So he is not hurting, believe me! Most likely, he doesn't think much about Colombia nowdays!

Rico comments on Colombia’s social class Baseball star RENTERIA You guys missed one "rags to riches" story: Edgar Renteria is a very, very black Colombian baseball star who plays in the US. I'm sure he is a multi-millionaire by now.

Rico comments on Travel Visa To USA Student visas... Student Visas: This could be the easiest way for a Colombiana without property, etc. However, the person must enroll in a college or university and really study.

Rico comments on Maria llena de gracia Soundtrack Low budget film... Man, I will be surprised if they sell the soundtrack alone! Maria Full of Grace is a low-budget, independent film (indie). Usually, indie films skip the soundtrack all together. Singer? I am sure it's an unknown artist to keep costs down. Maybe you can find the info once the DVD comes out in a few months!

Rico comments on US nice guy in Colombian Jail? Be Teflon Coated! Just walk around with a heavy-duty Teflon coating and let ugly comments slide off (que te resbale). It is always best to walk away from trouble.

Rico comments on To foreign women in Colombia James: Follow Dave's advice! You have to make the right cultural adjustments. Colombia is different!

Rico comments on Cops in Colombia? Trouble, trouble... Diana: If you keep that up, you are headed for trouble. Somewhere, somehow, you must make the right decisions in a timely fashion. If you don't, problems will follow you like your own shadow. Remember, "two is company, and three is a crowd."

Rico comments on Colombia vs. Venezuela Hmm... I like that phrase..."The Athens of Latin America." Tiene su belleza esa frase.

Rico comments on Movies About Colombia Maria Full of Grace...muy, muy Llena de Gracia! Maria Full of Grace, with Catalina Sandino Moreno in the lead role, beat out Will Smith's I Robot in seats per showing in both New York and Los Angeles. That's amazing! Usually, low-budget indie films never do well against heavily promoted Hollywood films. Thus, Americans are seeing this movie in droves, even thought the film is in Spanish with English subtitles.

Rico comments on Two Americans marry in colombia Dominican Republic marriages... I believe the Dominican Republic offers no hazzle marriages (and divorces)! Colombia, on the other hand, is not a the same level. I mean, the level of difficulty is much higher!

Rico comments on Maria, Full of Grace Maria, Llena de Gracia New cinema stars! It's incredibly difficult to be successful in the Hollywood movie business. For "newbies" or beginners, it is even more difficult! That's a fact! And that's why I am very impressed with the success of Maria Full of Grace!

Rico comments on "PEREIRANAS = WHORES????" DESIDERIA SAYS YES!! WOW!! When you say "ALL," you make a big mistake! Every country and city in this world has churches and prisons, good people and bad people. I am sure that Pereira has both good and bad people. The same goes for Bogota, Cali and Medellin. Therefore, to say that all the women in Pereira are whores is very far from the truth! I am sure Pereira has its share of very decent women.

Rico comments on Questions on mentality of Colombian women Faked love... If a woman shows too much interest in money, I would be very, very suspicious! Anyone with a little bit of common sense, will realize that $1,000 USD for 3 days is too much money. The same goes for the "instant love" scheme. There's no such thing, my friend. Love is never that fast! Therefore, you should be very careful with this girl!

Rico comments on Are their any honest agencies in Cali? Birds of a feather, flock together! On some internet sites, you can learn about a Colombian woman's profession, be it psychology, medicine or architecture. Well, this helps quite a bit, and it serves as a filter. I mean, an architect will be able to find common ground with a Colombian woman that is also an architect. The same goes for someone with a degree in psychology. As the saying goes: "Birds of a feather, flock together!" This, of course, is the main advantage of internet connections. You can quickly find people you can relate to.

Rico comments on Are their any honest agencies in Cali? Beware of scams! I found a site full of tips to avoid scams. With some of the suggestions found there, you will avoid a lot of very serious problems. I mean, some of those agencies are simply money making machines. They don't care much about what happens to their clients as long as they make money.
