  does it take to get from bogota to cali and what is the best mode of travel. and is this even possible on a 7 day trip? any help appreciated! ...

  Hi I am trying to get a job Teaching English as a Foreign Language In Colombia. I have found a lot of Schools in Bogota (the capital), Barranquilla and Cali, but I am after Jobs in Pasto!!! If anyone knows of any schools in PASTO that I can contact - or even just a website to give me a head start - I would really appreciate it. Many thanks ...

  I'm Colombian, from the city of Cali. I currently live in the US, and I've heard many bad things said about my country. Things such as hot, humid, tan people, jungles everywhere, crack, drugs and guerilla warfare. Even though Colombia is closer to the equator, Bogota has a daily temperature of about 60 degrees, and it recently snowed there. I'm not saying that these things don't happen, but they mostly occur near mountains and rural areas. The cities are actually safer. Also, not all Colombians or hispanics have tan skin. The majority of us have light skin. I just got tan when i moved to Florida. Before you put your thoughts, take a look at this: This is Cali is Bogota (hail storm) do you think? = ) ...

  Can Anyone tell me how safe is to take buses in colombia? I would take the main route: Cucuta, Medellin, Bogota, Cali and then go to ecuador. Are there Guerillas active in those areas? Is it dangerous to take buses at night? ...

How much is the gas for a car ? How much is bus and metro tickets ? How much is a menu in a normal restaurant ? How much is the phone,internet,energy bills ? How much is health bills ( doctor,etc) ? How much money do I need for one month, for one year? I am French, and I would like to spend several months in another country, to relax in a nice foreign city, and then come back to France... Thank you in advance ...

  AMERICAN MAN moving to colombia. my choices are bogota and medellin. need help. I want to start a life here. need a good city to move to with the women. DON'T NEED NEGATIVE ANSWERS. ...

  I am returning to Colombia, which I visited on my gap year four years ago, in order to take a place up on a language course, hopefully live with a family, and finally learn Spanish, which I've always wanted to do. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on which town is best. I liked Cali, Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena, all for different reasons. I would love to go to a young, vibrant town, good for student life, where I can meet lots of fun people and have a lot to do, but also a place whose universities/colleges/language schools have an excellent reputation. Any advice would be most appreciated! is Spanish in Cali a lot more difficult to understand than in Bogota then? ...

  Hola, By "Afro-Latin" I mean people of mixed Spanish & Black descent. The choices are: Panama City Caracas Bogota Barranquilla Cartagena Cali, Colombia Can they be ranked by percentage Afro-Latin population? Gracias, amigas y amigos. ...

  Bogota,Cali or Medellin? or other city? ...

  My wife is from Cali and I have been there to visit 3 times. So I have some knowledge and a lot of appreciation for Colombia and its people. With the "live-in tutor," my Spanish is getting stronger and my listening comprehension is at the point where I can follow the news. Ideally, Cali would be great because my young children can get to know my wife's side of the family better. Other cities like Bogota and Medellin would be good too. As to what I could offer a prospective employer, I am a native English speaker. Moreover, I have more than 15 years of industrial R&D and manufacturing support; along with 5+ years of teaching and tutoring adult students in chemistry, mathematics and other physical sciences in university and community college settings. I have also done projects in the areas of economic development and technical customer service (usually manufacturing troubleshooting). ...

  I was in Bogota, Cali, Armenia, and Barranca De Bermeja. Please chime in with thoughts/impressions, Thx. ...
