I thought that it had nothing to do with the strength of the Colombian economy but rather the state of the U.S. fiscal imbalance....but I am sure that all the experts will come out and correct me on this.
But as that has little to do with visiting Colombia.
Look at [url]www.xe.com[/url] for spot currency rates. It does not give you the bid/ask.
I think it has more to do with the fact that many Colombians are moving back to their country now, moreso than are leaving, and they are bringing a lot of USD with them, plus foreign investment in Colombia is WAY up with Carrefour etc opening up all over the country, not to mention all the foreign investment in construction projects.

Just wanted to get a Colombian to give me their opinion of what the definition means since its pretty confusing. Some of the women on the escort sites call themselves trigueña and others morena but they look nearly similar
trigueña seems to mean white looking and morena is more tanned looking colombians whilst blanca is blondes.
or is it ...
trigueña is more of the mestiza look like Salma Hayek which most people seems to have and morena is more of the beauitful beyonce look you see in Cartagena?
thanks

thanks[/QUOTE]Trigueña is a tanned skinned girl and morena a black girl as to say a NEGRA would be insulting, equivalent to nigger in the US.
Blanca, white but not necessarily a blonde unless she is very faired skinned.

My novia is pretty white and blonde, so she is getting the "oye MONA" quite a bit, that is the comon popular phrase for "light skinned blondes" over there.
so is a mestiza or a person of mixed spanish and indian heritage known as triguena?
IF her skin has a yellowish tone to it, yes. Generally they don't say much about it as the majority of the population has that look there.

Just curious how important are getting shots. Such as yellow fever and malaria shots if going to more of the out skirt areas such as Bucaramanga. Not overly worried as I have been to Bogota Cartagena y Barranquilla without but just wondered from people that would know.
Thanks
When calling agencies either from websites or the Newspaper, is it appropriate to ask details about what a girl will or won't provide (i.e. BBBJ, Greek, etc)? Will they hang up on you like agencies in the states? What exactly is the phrase used for each of the above examples in Spanish? Also, would you use these same phrases when questioning a pro that you run into on in a bar or on the street? Is it more likely that pro girls will or won't BBBJ or Greek? Thanks in advance...I'll be in Bogota Wednesday for a week!

Bucaramanga is not in a malaria/yellow fever area. There ARE areas like that in the country but they are mostly real rural and a few degrees less hot than hell itself.
As for the escort agencies, there is no problem with them giving details over the phone, prostitution is LEGAL in Colombia. Just try to be as polite as possible on the phone, the locals are big on that.
Anal sex= sexo anal
BBBBJ= sexo oral sin condom
