|
Yo yo,
I just got back from Bogota Colombia!  Talk about an incredible experiance! It has changed my life in so many ways! I just cant believe all that one can do in one short month! Colombia was awesome! the best country ever! Just the people were so cool! Very beautiful with incredible style. Just really really sweet.
I also went to Venezuela! Which sucked! was the worst country I've been to. Just a horrible place.
when I went for one of my runs i went to this place where a bunch of kids were playing soccer. asked when they played and walked away. After i was a little ways away three kids ran up behind with knives. They put the knives to my kneck and said, " MONEY MONEY MONEY" in broken english. I said No tengo algo. "i dont have any" which i didnt. but they wanted my mp3 player. so i grabbed it back and ran like hell. that was basically it.
gets your heart pumpin ya no?
I've got so much to tell. If you all wanna hear let me know.
pura vida

Very interesting trip from the sound of it. And not entirely safe either. Hey, I grew up in Brazil (also very awesome country). But Brazil is so huge it's hard to put a label on it one way or the other. I'm interested in anything you'd like to post about what you learned or did in Columbia. What were you doing there?

Just playing widja. Glad you had a good time. I would love to visit any South American country that is not on a cruise route.

Jonsolo, you'll have to meet my group in Brazil next year then, we go to Florianopolis which no one up here knows about, it's an island resort, 43 miles long, hundreds of beaches, mild weather, most of the tourists are from Argentina or Sao Paolo, we saw no Americans there at all. It's like Hawaii but in South America.

uops... quite a terrible experience, but since you're all right: the worst experiences in our travel are always our better memories of the trip...

Me and my family went down there to preach Jesus. Not apart of a church or any kind of religion. We hugely effected Colombia. (Spelled with two Os not a U!  ).
But the whole experiance was just awesome. It changed my life forever. The people were so cool. Like everybody was very beautiful. Their style was very incredible nice. Not like Mexico at all. They had their own culture and weren't just trying to be like America. Very European.

I dont look at it like a terrible experience at all! I would never take it back or change it for anything. It has changed me in ways that I would never not want to have!

Think I'm missing the joke...?  If you mean one of MY kinda runs, then yeah my kinda of runs are always like this. Something weird and cool always happen! I've been running everyday since the January 1st and hope i can make till next year! last year i was like 60 days away from doing it and I broke my ankle! So i gotta do this time!

I agree with ya on Venz. I hated it there - what a horrible dirty corrupt place. I'm sure there is some beauty there but I was scared to death and always looking over my shoulder.

I no! That place was demonic! 
Every store opened at 10 am and closed at 5pm because it was so dangorous!! The people were mean grumpy and very slobbish.
Ugh! never go back ...unless to go to the World Capital of Extreme Sports!!!
