Pretty dry, factual writing and information. Based upon his description of life in Bogota it appears less than perfect. As I am considering an assignment outside any major city in Columbia it is apparent that security is less than desired anywhere in the country. thanks, you've made my decision for me. No thanks!

This information is at least 5 years old. Get someone that can bring us up to the present. I have lived in 5 Laitn Ameican countries in the last 3-4 years. and I have never heard of stoires like your stating . As I stated something is missing here.. With all these credientials at least come back to the present . The prices cannot be correct if your talking about at least 5 years ago. I am not buying this bullshit story.

The current exchange rate has climbed to well over 3000 to 1 making an even better deal if your exchanging from dollars.
