im in SA at the moment and i have met a number of people that have traveled to columbia. they all said it was the best. although you must be very smart about where you go and when, but thats like everywhere you travel.

True, true, JT. However, Colombia is on my "don't go" list, what with the shooting going on from the drug war, the smoldering insurgency, and the new, lovely fad of kidnappings, I can afford to wait for it to calm down. Too many other places in the world to go...
Heck, the only country in S.A. I've been to is Brazil -- I have all the others to see, first! Take care down there, JT! worldwidemike |
I wouldn't go to Colombia I have heard too many bad things about drug wars, gangs, guerilla fighters ect ect.

I'd go... If the State Department says to stay away, it MUST be cool ;)
Only kidding - there really are problems in terms of kidnapping, extortion, etc., especially in regards to Americans. A "Colombian necktie" isn't an urban legend... So yeah, the warnings do stand. However, I'm not one to usually care about such things (hell, I'm brown and tend to blend in everywhere I go except the midwest) and have only heard positive things about Colombia from everyone I've known to have visited there. At least, from the ones that made it back! :doh: |

yeah everything i heard in SA was the same. Everyone said it was thier favorite place in south america.
I am sooo down to go! |
Dude how did I miss this one, my Fam is Colombian! therefore COLOMBIA RULES! Oh and guys well other than the boarders with Venezuela, I would say it's pretty safe ( Although the usual robberings do happen: pocketpicking and stuff like that) I would say bogota and Cali are nice places but the Costa which would be Cartagena De Indias is the place I give my heart in Colombia out! mad Beaches and mad cuties, yet for the cuties Colombia has a good percentage out Hotties!
Oh oh! if you go try: Buñuelos & Pan de Bono! I heart colombian pastry! |
Colombian necktie is some ruthless shit. Do you think a columbian necktie would go good with this shirt?

WTF are you talking about? Neckties? Dude you have just outdone my randomness. props to you Sit Cod. :greenguy:
