tropicalshirt comments on Monteria, bumming around Hi Larry Was in Monteria two months agos. Liked the place, off the beaten track, very hot and relaxed. Was at that mall as well, prices very high there, los ricos de Monteria! The price reminds me of a shirt I saw in Medellin, but Oviedo mall, 435,000 pesos for a polo shirt! More than UK and four times the price of same in Argentina. Makes you think of arbitage! Good luck with your business and keep us updated. regards

tropicalshirt comments on A Colombian Story Life is unfair. But who can take it and just carry on when its themselves involved? Very few, either Colombian or from the other 220 other countries in the World. You may carry on but you just don't just take it, it fucks you up. Desi, just beacuse someone sees an issue of life as more unfair in one country or the other does not mean they should not have anything to do with that country. I don't understand what you mean if you can't take the hurtful and the unfair? There must be a million Colombians or people from any other country you could mention who cannot take the hurtful and unfair that is thrown at them daily. The result is they may be killed or hurt, pyhsically or mentally, or they may go on to make the country better by tackling the problems or simply not causing more problems. As the Dalai Lama said the meaning of life is to help people, or if you can't do that don't hurt anyone. Its helpful to know about what goes on all round the World to recognize problems and this post by utopiacowboy does that. He should in no way have nothing to do with Colombia or Colombians. I know you never said that Desi but that is the tone I get from your post. Hope you do not get any negative tone from my post cause i aint quoting any more fokkin Dalia Lama and I'm no Buddhist.

tropicalshirt comments on not just Colombia I still have not heard of an overnight bus being stopped by a gang of armed robbers and the passengers being forced off the bus and robbed. The stories are about bus drivers. Maybe it has happened, maybe you can dig one up? "And about robberies of buses in London you are wrong anyway." Tasco, but I never mentioned robberies of buses in London??? I wrote about robberies of overnight buses in the UK. Your doing it again. Where is my quote about robberies of buses in London? In the UK, I don't think it is the same as South America where night buses are often robbed and the buses sometimes travel in convoy for added security. I guess you don't either? Would you feel safer or attacks be less likely on the nightbus from Salvador to Recife, Mexico City to Acapulco, Guayaquil to Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Tolu to Medellin? Or London to Glasgow? Unfortunately, these types of robberies are common in these countries. When you get on a bus at Caracas bus station, they check your passport, they scan you and your baggage with metal detectors, then when you take a seat and just as your opening the curtians everyone like to keep shut, someone gets on with a video camera to film you. Venezuela! Only country I could not find a postcard in. I understand bus drivers are robbed regularly in the UK, as well as tax drivers, chip shops, bookies, tenessee fried chicken, newsagents, ice cream vans, passenger cars, takeaway delivery drivers, dry cleaners, off licenses, milk floats, etc

tropicalshirt comments on not just Colombia "If you are in a bus and it is blown up, it does not really make any difference to you who put the bomb there does it?" Armed groups of robbers don't blow up buses! Its counter productive!
|
|
tropicalshirt comments on not just Colombia "Yep, they just blow them up:" Why would they (gangs of armed thieves) blow up buses? They don't. I don't get you. You quote what I wrote and comment on it completely differently. Not even remotely close. Not even the worst politician close. So what your saying I think is: "But you don't ever hear about night buses in Britain being robbed by gangs of armed thieves." No, but the IRA/al qaeda/or groups with alliegance to/ just blow them up. Read and understand if you quote or maybe just make a comment. Schools out!

tropicalshirt comments on not just Colombia hi borat I don't know where you thing I'm wrong about the violence with what? I mentioned armed robberies of overnight buses. I think you may have misread me. I'm sure bus drivers in London have more hassle. I'm from SE, back in the late 80's we all used to ride the buses, bus boys, we never had tubes to write on. Tchau amigo!

tropicalshirt comments on Another PBH competition - 30US$ to win! kaka - stress on the second syllable

tropicalshirt comments on not just Colombia True, more or less its the economic problems causing huge social problems and crime in many poorer countries, whereas in the UK and the richer world dysfunctional society and people creates huge social problems and crime: care in the community, lack of community, lack of family, hate your family, cold fokkin country, greedy fokkin culture, spolit brats, fat brats, stupid brats, ugly women, fat women, ugly men, fat men, women with huge asses, etc Johnny, you English? If you find this thread, do tell us. I've had many arguments over chips. Don't mean to laugh at all at this story Father kills son over chips row http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7412705.stm

tropicalshirt comments on not just Colombia Well borat if you know Bermondsey in London it was always known by Scotland Yard (something for the yanks there!) as having the highest perecentage of criminals per square mile in Britain. The history of Bermondsey revolved around the docks, pay was low and people used to supplement their income by robbing the goods. Well, the docks all closed and the jobs disappeared in the 1950's and many graduated into robbing banks. Even today, whilst robbing banks is not partaken, you are sure to meet many crooks in Bermondsey amongst the gentifrication should you like to visit. La cultura! But you don't ever hear about night buses in Britain being robbed by gangs of armed thieves. Bus of premiership footballers, well...

tropicalshirt comments on Chile is beautiful!! Screaming CUMBIAAAA!!! at the start??? Well,I really did like the cumbias on the Putumayo compliation, que rico! http://www.putumayo.com/en/catalog_item.php?album_id=29

tropicalshirt comments on Chile is beautiful!! Monpirri, sure understand what your saying. The type of Brazilian music popular for so long in Europe (bossa crossover electronica etc) etc is not always at all popular in Brazil where its pogode, frevo, forro, samba, mpb, etc. Sometimes it goes the other way, i.e. drum and bass craze in Rio etc. How do you define a cumbia?

tropicalshirt comments on Deep Depression Colombia withdrawal! Is that and actual diagnosis? lol "I dont know if I want to LIVE in Colombia." So you don't know? "Too many things I would miss about the states." So you do know! "...I find myself in a deep state of depression and just want to sit home and sulk and be miserable." So you don't know! ...or you do know??? (Getting confusing now) To me (and I'm a bloody expert) it sounds like you do want to go, thats why your feeling sick. It will pass but you need to address the cause. Work your American ass off (if needed/some of them are fat/like here), and get out there some time this year for 6 months, and no.1, crucially give it everything you have for those 6 months. Good luck. NEXT!!! "Look at it, size it up, but don't postpone your life. Just because you can't make up your mind." - General Omar Bradley

tropicalshirt comments on "Actually the Charlee will be the first "scented hotel" in Medellin." Theres a load of scented hotels in Centro, Calle 56 full of them! First street I walked down in Medellin off the airport bus when I jumped off, never had a clue. Seriously, scented hotels not a good idea. What do you think the ingredients for these things are? Cancer scares in the future, prefer the smell of sewage myself, does you no hammrmrmrugh...honestly.

tropicalshirt comments on Colombia Footprint Guidebook 2009 on sale Hi gorgon, miamimike & Peter Pleasure to say hello. Big fan of what you have achieved Peter with this website and going ahead and doing it. The Brazil Footprint Guidebook was really special for covering off the beaten, interesting destinations in the Northeast. When you got to some place it described, like the Serra do Teixeira in Paraiba or the Chapada Araripe in Ceara, it was very, very unvisited and you got the idea from this guidebook. Now nearly all places are also on the net and araripe has two pousadas! But you need the name from somewhere to start. And in the Northeast there are still a load of other places not covered by this or any guidebook so I was hoping they would not lose this aspect of the guides. Anyhow Peter, when you coming to England next? One pound is one euro, the country is yours! London full of Italians it seems at the moment with euros and hugely oversize coats. I have soft spot for Neopolitans, though. Not that they need more shopping with their rubbish problem. Arriverderci!

tropicalshirt comments on Chile is beautiful!! Monpirri, Santiago is good, maybe a good place to live. I got there on a Sunday with no local money and everywhere shut. The water fountain in the central plaza was a godsend! Struck me as that sort of place, i.e. place you can drink from the water fountain. Very orderly for a latin american country. Would like to go back too, trouble is you go south and its a long way to go north, and vicea versa. I went north, would love to go south for the Carretera Austral. Theres a lot about living there on escapeartist. They like cumbias too! Got this CD over here in the UK, you can listen to the tracks, click the play buttons at the bottom. http://crammed.greedbag.com/buy/arriba-la-cumbia-0/ DON'T MISS - ***Aniceto Molina - El Campanero (remix)*** BBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tropicalshirt comments on Chile is beautiful!! As the World counts down to 2009 and millions of people across the globe wish each other happy new year, Monpirri, please enlighten us: why, where? But remember... hay ropa tendida - someone's eavesdropping, this is not the Chile board.

tropicalshirt comments on El Banco Yes, El Banco Magdalena. Just literally riverbank in Spanish. Barbudo is better now I know. "Fishing and stock raising are the chief occupations, although small factories produce mattresses and brooms." hhhmmmm.... Mattresses and brooms... Not quite thriving industries, but put the two together and El Banco could be a must see. Por favor, on the moon, DIGA! "The conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quezada arrived at the site in 1537 and found the Indian village of Sompallón; he called it Barbudo (“Bearded One”) because of its bearded chief. In 1544 Alonzo de San Martín renamed it Tamalameque (now the name of a town a few miles to the southeast). In 1749 José Domingo Ortiz, a freed black slave carrying a statue of the Virgin Mary, led a group of settlers to the locality that became known as Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de El Banco (“Our Lady of Candlemas of the Riverbank”). Fishing and stock raising are the chief occupations, although small factories produce mattresses and brooms. Pop. (2003 est.) 52,643." Encylopedia Brittania

tropicalshirt comments on Bradt Guide? Good description of the panties thief in Pereira, lots of other mistakes though, like the description of calle de la rumba in Cartagena. Old 2000 ed. of Colombia footprint is a good help and the internet is a good source of info for Colombia as see below. "Diana was assaulted on the streets of the Colombian city of Pereira 15 days ago. The thief stripped her of her watch and her wallet, but when he told her to take off her underwear, she feared the worst. However, the deliquent only took that garment and took off running. The victim felt deep relief, but the indignation came later. "If they were fancy garments, okay. But to take panties that cost 2000 pesos (about one dollar) is ridiculous," she said." Que culazo no doubt...

tropicalshirt comments on Aparment Rent in Rio Ola Tom Tudo bem? Good luck in your apartment search in Rio. I would try www.gringoes.com For example, http://www.gringoes.com/forum/search_results_posts.asp?SearchID=20081229082904&KW=renting rio I am no Rio fan (but it is stunning) or expert, but I would always rent on the ground when you are there, usually through the newspapers and the telephone. Ask at a newsstand which newspaper has the best classificados imoveis, and when your looking through them you want apartamentos para alugar, maybe temporada as it is only six months. There are a lot of expensive accomodation in a big tourist city like Rio, but you can get a good deal if you go through the newspapers and keep looking. In Rio I think the newspaper O Globo which has the most classificados on a Sunday. Rio is divided into Zona Norte and Zona Sul, Zona Sul is considered the safe one. Posting a question on gringoes.com is your best plan for different areas. For example purposes: http://www.zap.com.br/imoveis/resultado-busca-imoveis.aspx Remember Carnival starts Friday Feb. 20th so it will be a busy month. Watch does Cariocas, this is a city whose people are proud of partying, not working. as cariocas OPA!!! Tchauzinho

tropicalshirt comments on complicated travel question Where do you want to go in Brazil? You say south Brazil? Sao Paulo, Curitibia? Vai para o nordeste... Through Peru only one route as described by njc in your post a couple of lines below is: Lima bus - Cusco truck - Puerto Maldonado collectivo etc (Peru) to Inapari (Peru) -walk- for Assis Brasil bus (Brazil) to Rio Branco (Brazil). Rough travel. You need to read up more about this route if you decided on it. Going through Argentina the border town in Argentina is Puerto Iguazu to Foz de Iguazu in Brazil. Buses in Argentina are very good and you can travel here from anywhere in Northern Argentina easily (i.e Salta, nicest city I know in Argentina, recommended).

tropicalshirt comments on First Trip Completely different to Rio. For an urban beach try Cabo Branco, Joao Pessoa instead. For a beautiful area to explore, try Japaratinga in Alagoas and beaches to the south onto Morro do Camaragibe, for a taste of the sertao take the bus to Juazeiro do Norte and see the sertao first hand and meet the sertanjeros! Visit the cities, the coast and the interior to get a feel for the different places. If you need any reccommendations or advice please ask. Vida mais facil com portugues! Agua de coco bem gelado.

tropicalshirt comments on First Trip Nueva york Hola, good luck if you move over there. I lived 6 months twice in northeast Brazil. Want to get back but finding a good way is difficult. Have you thought about trying six months in Santa Marta for a start? Six months is much better than nothing and a good way to learn more and it is easier to do. But, if you like it, its never enough! You speak Spanish? I'm good with Portuguese but understanding Spanish is horrivel! I guess in New York it is easy to learn, everything is in Spanish over there, when I passed through, radio, signs, people... London, like new york as well, everyone from all over the World, but different. Just a workhouse, people coming for a year or two, maybe more, but not so much for life maybe. Not to become English! And the pound is falling away now, tinpot country! Too much financial services, too much borrowing, too weak!

tropicalshirt comments on First Trip Hi Darloup I was there 2 to 3 weeks ago. Lots of rain, many of the calles like rios. Any idea who the people dressed all in black with the strange body armour hanging out at small shopping malls were? Looked like riot police that I saw on the TV news there but I guess not because no riots in small shopping centres!
|
|
tropicalshirt comments on Back in the good old US, and my bowl movements are back to normal. Yep, it was the arepas that got me. Deep fried like Scottish mars bars. Con papa, con carne, con pollo. So once it was x2 con carne, x2 con pollo, x4 con papa = nada por dias!

tropicalshirt comments on First Trip "So, which area seduced you?" Las curvas de Santa Marta! But in answer to your question, firstly thank you and all the others on this site. I visited most of the areas around Santa Marta, from Minca to the beaches, but it was the actual town of Santa Marta I really liked. Probably like others here, I don't actual like visiting specific sites, I just like being somewhere interesting. I found Santa Marta interesting and for a mid sized tourist town strangely, or not, very relaxing! Not too small, but not packed, nice streets in the centre (all the Carreras are narrow and atmospheric, nice plaza, lots going on, nicer buildings than expected, electric storm shows every night, different shops in the centre than some other towns I visited i.e. antiques on Carrera 13?, tropicalshirts on Carrera 11, etc There was a lot of life going on from weddings to beauty photoshoots. I guess in season its not so relaxing.

tropicalshirt comments on Favourite Sth / Central American Travel Books "A Death in Brazil" by Peter Robb. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Brazil-Book-Omissions/dp/0747573166/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228922542&sr=1-5 Good on northeast Brazil, its history and the presidency of Fernando Collor de Mello, accused of huge corruption, resigned just before impeachment, went to Miami, returned to politics in Brazil. This book was claimed to be very similar to a book written by Brazilian writer Mario Sergio Conti.

tropicalshirt comments on First Trip I thought she was Brazilian and asked to carry her shopping. She said she was Colombian and no!

tropicalshirt comments on Favourite Sth / Central American Travel Books May I reccommend, also by Moritz Thomsen, "The Saddest Pleasure." http://www.amazon.co.uk/Saddest-Pleasure-Journey-Rivers-Graywolf/dp/1555971245/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228901221&sr=1-4 Journey around Brazil, from Ecuador, with a flight stop at Bogota! Outstanding description of the thighs of courtesans in Bogotas airport. Makes me weep. The description of forro singers in Recife makes me feel at home, exactly how it is best, live and sung by the old. Exactly the magic of the northeast. The writing style is unique. He made the journey in his late 60's. Great title.

tropicalshirt comments on VALLENATO ACCORDION Name of the shop: armonia musical Calle 53, no.49-109 Centro cial. Robaresco Acordeon Hohner 1,553,900 pesos to 2,550,700
|
|
tropicalshirt comments on Pollo Pollo Pollo Before you get too hungry, all that pollo makes me a little blocked if yoy know what I mean. But thats nothing compared to these arepas here! All deep fried, with an egg or papa inside. You might as well deep fry a cork for the effect a couple of them have. Anyone know if there is a problem with constipation in Colombia beacuse of these?

tropicalshirt comments on VALLENATO ACCORDION Hi caza I found a few places in el centro selling them and I am sure it is easy to find others. There is one of those shopping arcades just down and left of park berrio (little sense I know but hold on) that has two shops selling them. You know Hotel Nuribita well go left from there standing facing out from the front of the hotel (I´m not staying there as it goes, only 25,000 a night please) when you go across a little road and then go across that street its there on the other side (Carrera 50). Ita a bit confusing as there are exits and entrances all over but you can ask and they will point it out quick. I am sure you can see the yellow pages as well in any medellin hotel. The problem I had was the price. The good ones made in Germany you might as well buy in Europe or wherever. They are very expensive. The ones from China are still not cheap and not as good (350,000 too expensive still). I found one on Calle 54 (down about Carrera 52) in a compra venda shop but the owner wanted 450,000 pesos in a compra venta! Sai fora! These compra venta stores are everywhere but accordions are rare. I think the way to go is local paper or you pay a lot. Tell us how you get on. I wanted to take one home to play on the plane.

tropicalshirt comments on Your advice on Barranquilla was a great help, i.e go north. I got to Barranquallia and was set to go south. Upon reading your advice I got the next bus to Santa Marta! As you once said something like, I got to give it to my gringo brothers who will travel huge distance and at huge danger for an easy piece of ass. I got to give it to you for being a true gentleman with a great sense of humour. In your honour, my best looking women on this planet from my humble years. 1. Venezuela (the ones at the top) 2. Brazil (the most!) 3. Cuba 4. Russia

tropicalshirt comments on Tolu Travel Tip Also good is Hotel Montecarlo if you want more comfort and to spend more money, its on the sea front, just keep on going past Turista Hotel about 40m, same road and same side. 27,000 pesos with fan, 42,500 with ar. Good for the price and very friendly.
|
|
tropicalshirt comments on Mototaxi - a great mean of transportation (if you are suicidal) I have take a motortaxi a few times in Colombia. Biggest problem is the state of the roads. The road from Cartagena bus station to centro is a good example. Wouldn´t want a motor taxi along that. Very popular in northeast Brazil as well. Always characters them drivers. Remember one time after work me and my friend took two motor taxis to go and play football. Good fun as they raced each other along until the moto I was on suddenly goes a different way and starts going up this hill to who knows where. The driver was just loco! They have that reputation in Brazil.

tropicalshirt comments on Which is more dangerous and ugly ? Colombia or Brazil ? kramer I agree with you about Sao Paulo and Rio. I remember when a new law was introduced which allowed motorists not to stop at red lights after dusk but to do only "rolling stops," acting against car jackings. Not much use if you never have a car. Much of north east Brazil is not like this. But I´ve found areas vary greatly. Pernambuco, with its great capital Recife, probably my favourite city in the World, is unfortunately a very violent state. If you take a look at this website it is very depressing. All the people being killed are by and large young and male and definitely local, like most cities with gang violence. http://www.pebodycount.com.br/home/index.php Paraiba, the state just north of Pernambuco is a much safer place. Its capital Joao Pessoa I spent six months in and many foreigners have moved there and found it very beautiful and safe.

tropicalshirt comments on Avenida de la Rumba - Cartagena So the most fun I had was saying "CART- AH- HAY- NA!!!" Que triste e que verdad! CART- AH - HAY- NA!

tropicalshirt comments on Which is more dangerous and ugly ? Colombia or Brazil ? And a lot depends on who you are and where. Young, male and from the barrio/favela. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7750054.stm

tropicalshirt comments on Which is more dangerous and ugly ? Colombia or Brazil ? Colombia and Brazil are two big countries. Colombia twice the size of France, Brazil with states like Bahia the size of France and states like Amazonas, well the size of Europe. It is hard to cover but Rio is very different safety wise from a city like Natal or Joao Pessoa in the northeast, just like Bogota is different from Tolu. Anyhow, my point! I am currently in Colombia and only getting a very small grip on this country. Brazil as I have written in other posts I know very well. I was intrigued by people writing that 9 out of 10 people say there favourite country in South America is Colombia (footprint guidebook). I have talked to Colombians here about that and thay say Colombians are very hospitable and there is a lot to see. I agree. They also say Brazil is too big and the language (Portuguese) is a barrier to many. I agree. I don´t think many people know Brazil that well. Who knows the states of Tocatins, Minais Gerais, Piau, Alagoas, Maranhao etc? I am not a fan of Rio. It is the "marvellous city." It is several times fast than Cartagena and can be very dangerous. I am a big fan of Brazil and a big, big, big fan of northeast Brazil. This is the best country by far in South America for me. BY FAR! And yes northeast Brazil is only part of country but it is very big, it is to me a different country to southern Brazil and the nordestinos different people. My point is not many people know it and likewise who can comment on the safety aspect from an infomed viewpoint. I have had the luck to get to know it very well and speak Portugues. I have taken amazing hospitality from total strangers I would never take from people in Rio or a big city in Colombia for example. This is because I have gotten to know the place and the people. North east Brazil has a tradition of helping travellers, my time there has been like going back 50 years or so. But things change. As people here comment on Medellin or elsewhere, places change or will change. For me Brazil in large is a safe place for the resaon that there exists in the country a character that does not think of what they can get from you or what you are or have. They are not thinking bad thoughts. And when they do you can see it easily, through the poverty or desperation of youths. There is a goodness you can feel. But like I wrote, it may or does not last in a world of mass tourism and chasing money. Colombia I have found friendly and honest and moreso than other Spanish latin american countries. But I am on my guard and I find it difficult to comment on the safety in Colombia. I do find so many different uniforms on the street different. Army, police, the people all in black like stormtroopers with the strange leg pads, the uniforms without insignia etc. Make up your mind here as your the experts on one or the other countries. I have found a difference in my travels between Spanish latin america and Brazil (Portuguese). I have thought women in Brazil are much more involved in many more of the music styles, I have found less machismo, less nihilstic characters, less cheating and more people eager to approach you. I have always asked myself why? Well it can´s be all that sex cause there well at it here in Colombia as well. Tchauzinho!
