NEED A 2BDRM APT in CALI for August
I am looking for a 2bdrm apt in Cali for the month of August 8/10-8/31. I would appreciate any help.
Who Was the Brainiac Who said he Never SAW Any Guns in Cali
and deduced from that that nobody carries them? I just LOVE the guys who go down there for a couple of weeks, don't see any violence, then return and start posting about how Colombia is no more dangerous than Canada (just an example). On a brighter note, Mexico has now surpassed Colombia as the "kidnapping capital of the World."
August 2003, I saw a man shooting his gun right in front of the Hotel Don Jaime
Real Life Story - I saw it first hand!!!
When I visited Cali in August 2003, I was on the balcony of my room at Hotel Don Jaime when I heard a few "pops." When I went to the balcony to see what was happening, I saw a guy riding a scooter down Av. Sexta and a guy chasing him with a gun in his hand. The guy on the scooter turned left just before the hotel down a cross street. The man chasing him, stopped at the intersection of Av. Sexta and the cross street and started firing his pistol down the street toward the guy on the scooter.
I think that someone down the cross street tried to stop the scooter, because a minute later, the guy on the scooter turned around (going the opposite way of traffic) and drove back up the street toward the guy with the gun. The guy on the scooter, then turned left on Av. Sexta and came right in front of the Hotel Don Jaime and he kept on going.
Then the guy with the gun (still in his hand) flagged down a taxi. The taxi driver did NOT hesitate in picking up the guy with the gun. They sped off down Av. Sexta toward the guy on the scooter.
A couple of minutes later, a crying woman stopped on the street below my room and two cops on Motorcycles stopped and picked her up and off they went.
I found out later, that the guy on the scooter, knocked the woman off the scooter and the guy with the gun was just a bystander trying to do a good deed.
I felt safe the whole time this was happening because I was behind a thick cement wall and it was pretty entertaining watching from a safe distance. If I was at the restaurant on the street level, I would have had a different opinion though!
So, I guess Antifreeze, Surfer and the others that have reported that guys DO carry guns are NOT full of BS. You should make your own decision whether a piece of pussy is worth the risk (and don't believe anyone who says that Colombia is NOT a risky/dangerous country).
Take care and Antifreeze, stay safe down there!
