[QUOTE=Legal Tender]Incorrect facts leads to faulty conclusions. According to USA News & World Report's ranking of the World's Best Colleges & Universities, there is not a single Colombian university in the top 400. The highest ranking institution in Sur Americano is University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil, which is ranked 249th. 13 of the top 20 are in the USA And, providing this opportunity to a worthy Colombian girl, damn sure won't bankrupt me. But, thanks for the viewpoint.

University of Campinas (Unicamp)[/QUOTE]Well I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you re universities. Sure there are some good universities in the US: that's not my point. My point is that the *majority* of universities in the US are very iffy. And given a choice between an almost free tertiary education at the very highly regarded National University and bankrupting yourself to get a degree from an iffy US university I know what I'd do.

I recently received an advertisement for the above visa type from a so called law firm. Is anybody familiar with this type of visa? Below is some of the ad:

Colombian Residency Tips: The Permanent Friend Visa other wise known as the companeros permanente visa is another Colombia Residency.Alternative to the marriage visa, but requires less paperwork in time to process. once this visa is processed you can stay in Colombia for two years before you have to renew the visa. For this month only we are charging a small fee of only US$300 to process paperwork necessary to get this visa in Colombia.

Thanks and enjoy!

Once again, if you're sending the girl to a top notch school in the US, yeah, it will be worth it, if you're sending her to a community college or such, she's probably better off getting educated in Colombia. There's no doubt the top schools in the US are serious business, but there's also a good number of universities in the US where the PROFESSORS much less the students are functionally illiterate (a good part of the CUNY system in NYC comes to mind).

No truer words could be said. Take EVERYTHING everybody in Colombia tells you with a grain of salt until they PROVE themselves worthy of trust. Telling people what they want to hear in order to smooth things over is deeply engrained into Latin culture, and Colombians are total experts at it.

Question for anyone who knows. I understand Hooters is now open in Poblado, is this true? And if so, are they showing the NFL games?

[QUOTE=Manizales911]If you came to the USA When you were two years old what makes you an authority on what Colombians living in Colombia want? Bango is living in Colombia currently so he should know what he's talking about, not you.[/QUOTE]I left out that since I wuz two to my senior year, I would go to Medellin or better yet antioquia every summer and after that I have lived there back here in the states due to my business especially in Manrique. Medellin is my soul city from birth and my place of rest when I die.

Look if you where to wear a pilot uniform or any other uniform, the fact is people will treat you the way you dress, groom, skin color, your origin birth state, tongue and speak there paisa tongue spanish, treat you differently. Any chica, tika, gal, ***** or whatever will treat and approach a gringo way differently to me and if he is also latin, well a fat latin cat male will have the inside trak. But that don't matter as there is plenty to share, as a matter of fact if you live in any of these country, there to many to handle and your contact list on your phone is beyond any single monger can handle. But remember these women know how 2 please because of the ca$h. Period.

I have a dear buddy that I introduce a gorgeous shakira Paisa like tika, he fell in love with her cause she treated him like a king. She did everything from cooking in the morning to get his nuts off, freaky in bed but a lady in the streets like we all want, they got married, I warned him but as soon as his volatile company assets shrunk and dissapeared in the states, she left him quicker than quick. This is most common scenario. So what I'm saying for those of you who really want to keep one, don't look 4 her at the mansion, try other places.

Have a nice happy mongering weekend.

HOOTERS IS IN ENVIGADO PAPA, you go to medellin to watch the nfl is kind a looser thinking to do for myself don't spend too much time watching these gorillas kill eachother not when i'm in medallo, I rather explore the sexual wildsides of the paisas or maybe the hooter girls ahhhhh this is a paradise full of fine paisas all over antioquia.

[blue][b]Non-English text deleted by Admin[/b][/blue][/QUOTE]You have an interestng way of putting things but I'd say two things:

1) You DO understand the Colombian culture better than most on this post due to the fact that you were raised by your Colombian parents here AND that they made sure to send you to Colombia each summer. You ARE Colombiano. Of course you have the advantage of a US cultural infuence too.

2) You are young and although you "know" Colombia, you are limited by the experience that you have and therefore can still have plenty to learn. About Both Colombian & US cultures, their women and life itself. And that's OK. Hell, it's normal.

You still speak in generalities regarding latinas and believe me I know, there DO exist chicas who prefer a "fat cat" smooth as$ gringo over latino.

Though "generally" speaking you are correct. Also there DO exists chicas that aren't focused on "the cash", as you put it.

You know a guy who fell for a paisa who took him for a ride.

I know another guy who married & brought his girl back to the US and get this: In over 3 years she's never ask for a dime, she worships the ground he walks on AND she's fuat#ing HOT!

Man I know several success stories with these girls. You just have to see past the BS and find the right one. IF that is your goal.

My advice: Enjoy them, guard your heart, get a LOT of experience ant test, test, test. Eventually you'l recognize the differences in these girls.

Good post Calizum!

My oldest daughter goes to a university in Connecticut. She called me the other day which was her first day of school and told me her English Composition professor wrote the title of the class on the blackboard and spelled composition c-o-m-p-E-s-i-t-i-o-n.

I almost pissed my pants laughing until I remembered I was paying 15K a year for her to have a professor that can't f**king spell.

Seems to be a dreadful outbreak of chatspeak on this thread.

Would someone care to tell me exactly why all readers have to spend time deciphering this crap just so one person can save a few seconds typing?

Good post Calizum![/QUOTE]1. Yes I know the majority of course there are those gems out there like a needle in the haystack but when u live there is easier to find them.

2. Well Im already going thru my middle age crisis as Im in my 40s so Im not young nor old I am going thru that ripe age like a nice green mango, u bite it with salt then straight down with fire water or as we Paisa say aguardiente!

And going off topics on what the majority Colombians want to try the American Economy, well its not flourishing lately but it aint no percentage as stated b 4.

Eye <3 Colombia

[QUOTE=Psychman]Anyone who disagrees with this statement needs 50 sessions of therapy before their next mongering trip.[/QUOTE]lmao!

And they call it "common" sense.

Psychman's right.

If you're fishing for bass, get off the ocean and find a lake.

Now with that said, stranger things HAVE happened but the odds are soooooo heavy against you, why even risk it? !

University of Campinas (Unicamp)[/QUOTE]Awesome LT.

Most Colombianos suffer from some type of superiority complex.

I've heard from several Colombianos how much better their educaion is than the US. The stories site examples of Colombianos who studied in the US and returned to Colombia to attwend ther only to find themselves way behind.

I thought that sounded like BS.

Thanks for the input LT.

However, when it comes to university level, any US earned degree is worth its weight in gold compared to a degree from any Latin American university (save for those few off-shore or Mexican medical/dental schools).

Why do you think the US university system depends so much on foreign enrollment?

It's because it's the best.

Just my observation, Schwmm
