Nobody said don't go.

Just that it's highly inadvisable to go overland at this time.

Allright! Washouts, massive mudslides, and ALSO flooding in the highlands.

There are bridges washed out by flooded rivers, roads closed by mudslides all over the place, reservoirs are maxed out,...

Hans:

OK thanks. Good info. At least the travel time isn't affected that much although I imagine the detour is not as good as the main road.

The report I saw said it will take almost a year to...

It's a good question. I see Caracol TV news almost everyday and for the past month the broadcasts have been mostly flood related reports. Large swaths of the country are flooded, including the...

To all: First off please bear with me for one last post on this. Believe me, I heeearr the howls fron north to south and back again.

Luck: It's not just the genre. Several of her characters...

Allthough her books make for some entertaining reading, Allende largely copied Gabo.

I wouldn't count her high on the list.

Oh, far out dude!

And don't try to tell me that I don't get it.

I've read more Latin American literature, including Gabo, than 95% of the guys on this board. Maybe 99%. I estimate...

No shit Greg!

There's so much ridiculousness in his original post that I skipped over that one.

Cheers, Schwmm

Well, before I add my 02 cents that I know is going to sound harsh, I too am glad that you posted the question in order to get some honest feedback.

And to get some sense slapped into you.

It...

Yeah right. And I'm sure you meant that with all due respect too.

Sure dude. It all adds up.

You're the bomb.

But in your initial posts you sure as hell came off as some crack fueled spammer.

Just my 02 cents.

Good Luck.

Something not right with this poster. Suddenly shows up and he's all over the place quoting posts and then responding with something that has no relevance to the post he's cited or;

in the case...

Yeah! Medellin is spent, done, agotado, kaput, esgotado.

In a few short years a few hundred gringo mongers have totally transformed a city of > 2 million.

Stay away. More for us! :)

Robby:

To me, her profile screams prepago but you were there and I wasn't sooo, it's impossible for me to say.

I would have at least invited her back to my place to continue the party there....

I nominate her for an Academy Award.

Or maybe the audience was just a tad impartial.

All the best,

Schwmm

That's thinking out of the box.

On second thought, maybe not!

Too many ways to go on this one.

I'll quit now.

All the best, Schwmm

Good info, thanks.

I use the Capital One. You get the bank to bank exchange rate with no transaction fee.

Only hassle was first time using it finding which machines were linked, to successfully...

Señor Cubanut:

No problem dude, I got your back. JUST Kidding!

And BTW, too funny.

Just now getting up off the floor recovering from a laugh fit.

All the best, Schwmm

DL:

Thanks for the report but I have to tell ya that the above quote is a tad humorous, contradictory.

I'm sure you were referring to her fresh face and attitude. I got a chuckle out of it...

Zing:

Please tell about this.

One night I was out with some regular girls I met online and had a strange experience. It was in a very hot tropical area of Colombia. Went to a disco with the...

My seven years of college didn't go down the drain.

Maybe I won't have to join the fucking Peace Corps after all!

Schwmm

Luck,

While I agree with you 100% in the entirety of your report, (Vacation? Yeah right) I especially like the end quoted above.

Correct if I'm wrong but that's from Animal House.

Too funny,...

It's well documented in this thread that Mayorista can be very hot or cold.

One night it may be a bust (no pun intended :)), the next a candy store.

All the best, Schwmm

Bob:

I'm not currently on the ground in Medellin but I follow Colombian news and politics closely so here's my brief take on recent events and how it affects the current security situation.
...

I must admit that I've often been confused by this one. Not only in Colombia but in Ecuador and Mexico too.

Ocasionally, I hear spouses, novios, siblings, etc address each other as Usted.
