Colombia: Gringo's working here illegally:
@PL - Sex tourists? In Medellin? Paisas are ugly! Why do you think I live in Cali? ;)
Colombia: Groupon:
Are you familiar with Groupon in the US? It's exactly the same. Buy a groupon, print it, take it to the merchant and redeem it.
Colombia: Did anyone bother to say...:
Feliz Navidad?
Colombia: Furnished apartments in Armenia:
City of Colombia? Isn't that a song about a train by Steve Goodman?
Colombia: Shots:
Nothing required. I think the first time we went over to Juanchaco ad Ladrilleros my husband insisted that I get some inoculation. I forget if it was for denge or malaria, Went to a big clinic and got it. When I asked how much, they just looked at me. "No... You don't pay for this." OK. Thanks.
Colombia: Unusual request:
Try a mall shop that sells the make you need repaired. I had plenty of luck doing that with a Tissot. But I'm uncommonly fond of Skagen watches and all I get are blank stares. Even finding ultra-thin batteries is a chore.
Colombia: Drivers License in Colombia (Medellin):
Ah for the good old days when they used private driving schools. Exquisitely corrupt. I went, ready to pay a bribe over the established fee. They didn't even ask for one. Took my money and handed me the paper. I walked across the street to the Transito and got my license. No expiration date. I asked a cop the other day if the license was still valid. He assured me that it was.
Colombia: shared apartment:
You guys are making me hungry.
Colombia: Size queen:
What an incredibly interesting subject line...
1 sq meter = 10.7639 sq feet
However there is not enough data given to solve for a dresser.
Colombia: Driving from Medellin to Cali:
True dat. The thing to watch is that you might be prohibited from driving THROUGH some city at rush hour depending on your plate number.
