Some Forum Posts:

Colombia: A new view of Bogota street people:

Agree with the buying of meal, bread, drink, something consumable within reason. Usually the offer is taken, but not always.

Colombia: Cordless phone:

My friend in Bogota is looking for a good used or new cordless phone. Her phone is throwing in the towel. Thought I would help her out by asking if any of you have a reasonably priced one no longer needed. Thank you

Colombia: Is the grass always greener???:

It takes a long time to develop frienships of "confianza" iin Colombia, think this is true for foreigners in any country. In fact, the average Colombian might use the foreigner to lean on in case of need rather than to be leaned on.

Colombia: Best SA Country to Establish Residence?:

Ecuador "more civilized" than Colombia? Woh Nelly!

Colombia: Zika Virus in Colombia:

My friend's daughter who lives in Bogota and is in her fifties apparently got Zika after a trip to El Quindio, symptoms very much like a severe flue, mainly a lot of muscle aches. I would guess that in areas where rice is cultivated would be breeding grounds for mosqutoes and would take extra precautions if living or visiting such places. When I spoke to her about the fetal deformaties caused by the virus, my friend seemed to be unaware, which makes me wonder if there has been enough education on this to the public.

Colombia: Dating Colombian Women:

Again picking on Colombian women!!!

Honduras: Curious:

I have noticed that most of these posts are from people who have settled around the coasts of Honduras. Of those of you who have settled in the coast, is it just the attraction of the ocean, or is it a personal safety choice?

Colombia: What happened to PM button?:

Does anyone know when and why the PM button was removed from the posts?

Colombia: buying a used car in bogota:

Hope you have a secure place to park the vehicle when not in use. Auto theft throughout Colombia is quite high and recouping rate very low, but you are probably already aware of this.

Colombia: Best place for young semi retired single:

There are a lot of small towns in Colombia. One of my favorites is Cachipay in Cundinamarca. There is an exceptional green house that specializes in cacti. If I remember right, the owner is a German. The climate is very agreeable and there are quite a few foreighners living there. The trip to Bogota is short. I can connect you with a friend who makes his home there if you decide to make a visit.
