TSM chat board went down hill a few years ago and never recovered, the chat board there was great up until about 2002, although it started going downhill in about 2001.

ISG is by far the best board over all, certainly on Colombia.

Sorry,

W/o wading thru all the posts.

Is this Mansion a generic name for a host house, like the Casa de Chicas in DR? Or a specific place?

Thanx!

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- Police said they arrested a man Friday in connection with the killing of two clowns in front of dozens of children during a performance, in a case that has convulsed even this violence-hardened South American country.

Walter Bautista, 21, who goes by the alias "My Fish," was being held on charges of murder and trafficking in arms, a police statement said.

Clowns Willington Villamizar, 18, known as "Rony," and Nelson Nunez, 24, known as "Andres," were gunned down Tuesday night in the middle of their circus act in the town of Cucuta, about 400 miles (650 kilometers) northeast of Bogota, near the border with Venezuela.

Acrobats, harlequins, animal trainers and other circus performers staged protests in different parts of the country following the killings, chanting "Justice for the assassins of laughter."

Other circuses held moments of silence for the dead men.

A spokeswoman for the Cucuta police said authorities were investigating the cause of the double slayings, but said they had discounted the reason being the men's jobs.

What city would you recommend for the best action in Colombia? Prefer club type atmosphere to brothels.

Thanks in advance.

Curious if anyone has been to Villa Vicencio and if its safe for an american to go there. I have been to Barranquilla Bogota and Cartagena.

Thanks in advance

Can anyone confirm/refute that Colombia telephone city codes are changing? It looks like the Medellin city code is being changed from a single digit 4 to three digits 4XY: 421-426, 429, 431, 432, 434-436, 441-444, 447. I doublechecked the city codes and found these listed for Medellin. I guess it's changed to be more like a US area code.

I think that's why I haven't been able to call my novia in Medellin the last few weeks, although other Medellin numbers still seem to work. And I'm having trouble trying to figure out what her city code is. Or maybe I'm totally off base.

I was able to call a Medellin number using Skype, the area code is just 4.

Maybe something going on with your calling card?

Doesn't your girl have a cell phone?

A friend told me about this web site. Its free and I have been on it for a few days and meet several nice chicas.

Hi,
Here is a link to video President Bush's travel to Latin America. Not good so far

Watch bogota on Sunday. The Colombian Military and the police are going to have a field day beating on the leftist students and thugs.

It is funny to see people in Brasil and Colombia calling Bush an "murderer". If memory serves me right haven't several hundred street children been murdered in the flavias of Rio by the police and military? and hasn't colombia been involved in a civil war for 40 years? and didn't some leftist FARC's blow up an Avianca plane in 1989, killing 150 innocent people on board, in order to kill one right wing paramilitary commander?, Or am I not suppose the bring this up ? Or maybe these incidents are also the fault of the United States and its people.

Oh but they will still take our money though...............

What does a tariff on ethanol have to do with the murdering of street children and the bombing on an avianca flight in 1989? I guess the tariffs are much worse in your mind. Now I know why someday I may have to fight my own citizens in a civil war, you and your type favor the world, I favor my country.... I guess that is the way it is....so keep hating and keep blaming, what does not kill us, strengthens us...

Does the winner get a prize for who does more fucked up stuff?

Last time I checked living in a democracy means that the people, for example the people of Colombia, are allowed to express their opinion without checking with you first.

I realise that's no longer the case in the USA, but it does remain so in the civilized world.
