Common Colombian idioms

By cableboy on Jul 13, 2009, 22:30 (today).

I noticed that Colombians get a kick out of when I use an idiom correctly, so I want to learn more. Any common idioms you can share? Here's a couple: Del dicho al hecho hay mucho trecho: "Easier said than done" Son uña y carne: "They are very close" Nos llevamos como perros y gatos: "We get along like dogs and cats" Echar los perros: "To flirt"

A.A. Meetings in Cali?

By benign.indifference on Jul 13, 2009, 17:05 (today).

I have a family member visiting who is a devoted A.A. attendee. She really wants to go to some meetings while in Cali (I am not really sure why, since she doesn't speak Spanish... maybe she just likes the coffee). So, on with the drinking jokes, and hopefully an answer in there somewhere. thanks.

Critics still want Arpaio's immigration efforts halted

By azunoman on Jul 13, 2009, 16:25 (today).

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, my sheriff news: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/07/13/20090713immig0713-ON.html Immigrant-rights advocates on Monday said they were "guardedly optimistic" about new standards for a federal program that allows local police to enforce immigration laws. However, the faith leaders, politicians and activists said they would continue to urge federal officials to suspend Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio from the so-called 287(g) program pending a federal investigation into his office's immigration-enforcement efforts. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano imposed the new standards and said last week that the intent of the program is to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes and major drug offenses - not those who commit minor offenses. Arpaio's office has come under fire by advocates who accuse the sheriff of misusing the intent of the program. Critics allege he has used the program as a pretext to search for undocumented immigrants by stopping motorists who look Latino for minor traffic violations. Arpaio has maintained that the office has not misused the program, and said that the rewriting of the guidelines is a result of "politics." Susan Youngblood, an Episcopal deacon with Valley Interfaith Project, said her group supports the arrests of dangerous criminals, but is "concerned that the agreement might still leave an opening for racially-motivated arrests or deportation of individuals picked up for suspicion of minor infractions." Arpaio has 90 days to review the changes before deciding whether to continue participating in the program. As of Monday, he had not seen a copy of the new memorandum of understanding. Either way, he said he would continue to enforce state laws aimed at cracking down on undocumented immigrants: "I do know I will not stop our crime suppression operations. Another one will be coming up very soon." The Sheriff's current agreement with Homeland Security can be ended at any time by either agency, said Vincent Picard, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman in Phoenix. Generally, the Board of Supervisors, which is the governing body of the county, must approve agreements with other government agencies. The five-member board generally has supported the Sheriff's immigration enforcement efforts, but at least two supervisors have consistently voted against the sheriff's immigration initiatives in recent months.

What is your favorite romantic/date thing to do in Colombia

By theflatline on Jul 13, 2009, 14:06 (today).

Every country is different when one is courting, dating, or even married when you are being romantic even when married. I grew up in New Orleans and there were tons of things to do. In Colombia you have to be a bit more creative. Although I have found taking a walk for an ice cream is one of the most common and and fun ones. My favorite thing to do when I am in Manizales is to go to Santaguida and rent a cabin in a place called La Moloka. They have swimming pools and a hot tub and all the meals are included. It is just a nice day or two away with your SO and you really do not have a care in the world other than smooching and putting sunscreen on.

DJ/Promoter Opportunity in Bogota - URGENT

By Cebiche on Jul 13, 2009, 13:59 (today).

Hi all. A quick intro......My name is Drew, ive been traveling through South America for the past 17 months, with the final 5 months living and working in Bogota, Colombia. I was given the opportunity to run and DJ saturday nights at one of Bogota's longest running tech clubs, Club La Sala, back in April. I have built the event/concept 'FAMILIA' to a highly successful level, and I have also expanded to create an umbrella promoter brand 'FAMILIA MUSICA'. As much as I hate to leave such a fantastic opportunity, to further build the event and the brand here in Bogota, and potentially across all the major cities in Colombia, the truth of the matter is, after almost 18 months away from home, I just need to get back and chill out. I am not looking to profit in any way from this....i just would really like to see my little dream carry on! So.........if anyone is interested in taking over and continuing what I have started, please shoot me and email: Info@FamiliaMusica.com Here is the FAMILIA MUSICA Facebook page...please check out the pics, flyers and logos, and have a listen to the mixes: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=74156017322 Here are the suggested pre-requisites: 1) Love of travel and an ability to adapt to a new culture quickly. 2) Basic Spanish, or the ability and willingness to learn (Club Owners speak perfect english). 3) Club-standard DJing and a commitment to pushing the music forward. 4) Tech-Techno Style, and I would strongly suggest throwing in some more tribal-edged sounds. 5) Highly motivated, passionate, persistent character, with a genuine ability to compromise. 6) Fresh and innovative promotional strategies and concepts. You would be guaranteed a weekly wage from the club for further developing, promoting and running the FAMILIA parties every saturday....you would also be paid to DJ at the FAMILIA party, and also on one or two other nights (most probably on the club terraza....so you should also be able to play some deep-tech sounds). Although the money isnt amazing, it supports a comfortable life in the city. As far as the brand 'FAMILIA MUSICA' can go is completely up to you, but I already have contacts in most major Colombian cities who are keen to become agents for the brand, running 'FAMILIA' parties right around the country every weekend. You would then have the opportunity to rotate the resident DJs from each city, including yourself, around all of the parties. You may also unite funds from each city to bring internationals to Colombia to also tour around all the parties....the sky really is the limit, and as a foreigner, with dynamic ideas and a fresh take on just about EVERYTHING, the Colombian clubbers really do respond! I can provide: - Business Profile inc Future Prospects - Sponsor Proposals - Local and National Contacts - Logo and Flyer Designs - Printing Contacts - Radio and Advertising Contacts - Domain Name - Web Design Contact - Complete Online Support from Australia - Friends network in Bogota for support and general help - Almost New Bedroom Furniture, or hostel advice (Australian-owned) - All my music, if you are not traveling with your own Ok....the thing is...i will be leaving Bogota on the 4th of August.....ideally I'd like someone to be here THEN, but given the short notice im guessing that wont happen.....but the party would definitely need someone looking after it again by the first saturday in September.............so if you are up for the challenge and can make this window, then please please please do get in touch with me. Un Abrazo, Drew.

Legit modeling agencies in Medellin

By bigscreeninkster on Jul 13, 2009, 13:22 (today).

I'm sure the "modeling agencies" in Colombia have been discussed to death here. Is there any legitimate modeling agencies or high-end photographers in Medellin or any other Colombian cities that the members are aware of? Afraid I don't read Spanish well enough to research it myself.

Avoid Taxi - Paseo Millonario

By realstate on Jul 13, 2009, 13:11 (today).

http://www.taxi-911.com/ Para su seguridad... Con el nombre de "TAXI 911" se lanzó en Colombia un nuevo servicio que nos permite a los usuarios de taxis corroborar la legalidad de los taxis que tomamos en la calle y así evitar un desagradable "paseo millonario". Cuando tomes un taxi en la calle, desde tu celular, solo debes enviar un mensaje de texto al numero 911 con el numero de la placa del taxi que estas tomando o que tomaste. En pocos segundos, recibirás en tu celular una confirmación de la existencia legal del taxi y el tipo de vehiculo asociado a la matricula. Ejemplo: escribe VGM999 y envías esa información al numero 911. Con el envío del mensaje al 911, también se activa una póliza de seguro, a favor tuyo, que cubre salud y vida de la persona en caso de ser necesario como resultado de un "paseo millonario". Este nuevo y novedoso servicio cubre las siguientes, entre las que están Bogota, Medellín, Cali, Armenia, Pereira, Manizales, Bucaramanga, La Calera. La Estrella y Caldas (Antioquia) El costo del mensaje al 911 es de $ 383.oo, incluido el IVA. Los promotores de este servicio recomiendan a los usuarios que si reciben el mensaje de vuelta advirtiendo que estas en un taxi ilegal, se actúe con tranquilidad para no alertar al conductor. La idea es que el pasajero encuentre una buena excusa para ponerse a salvo y evitar que lo hagan victima del "paseo millonario". Una de las recomendaciones es que el pasajero cambie con naturalidad el destino que le había dicho al taxista por uno mas corto, para así bajarse del taxi cuanto antes. Una buena excusa seria decirle al taxista que se deben devolver al lugar, donde se tomó el taxi, pues "se me olvidaron unos documentos y debo recogerlos".

Jaun Valdez coffee now in Walmart

By kingfish5515 on Jul 13, 2009, 11:41 (today).

I am in the US now and visited WalMart yesterday and what do I see in the coffee section,, none other than JV on the bottom shelf selling for $6.53 a bag. This may be good news to some but to me it cheapens the brand. I always bring a suitcase full and give it away to freinds and family and all comment on how good it is. No more,,, just go to Walmart. I guess its good for the stockholders of WM and JV but it would seem to eliminate the possibility of a chain of JM coffee shops like those in COL arriving on the shores of the USA if you can just go there and buy it cheaper than in their franchised stores. Now I got to find a different brand or something else to bring home for gifts not sold in wally world.... KF

For years and years I have lived with a deviated septum. It manifests itself in that my sleep is impacted in a most undesirable way. I am sick of it . . .

Recent experience and prices are most welcome either here on the forum or by private e-Mail to: twmcm at yahoo dot com Thanks much.

IR 1 visa question

By mranderson on Jul 13, 2009, 09:31 (today).

We recieved the visa today by mail and I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. It´s my understanding that she will recieve her green card in the mail about a month after we arrive. I´m assuming they will send it to our permanent address in the states. Does she also get her ss card at the same time? Do we have to do any status adjustment the moment we arrive? I believe she can start legally working the moment she gets her ss number. I also heard that she can get her ss number very quickly by going to the local ss office. Anyone have any experience with this? Also how long will it take for her to get through immigration? We may have to fly through miami (I believe it´s much cheaper) and then with a connecting flight to houston. Does it make any difference which city she flies into or is it better to go through immigration in the city where we will live? I would love to hear from people who have recently gone through this. Thanks.

A question about Asthma?

By CelticAce88 on Jul 13, 2009, 06:49 (today).

I currently take both Ventolin / Salbutamol and Becotide inhalers (the blue one and brown one) for asthma. Does anyone know if they are available in Colombia either without prescription or, like in the UK, will I have to go through a Doctor to get them? What about the cost - is it cheaper to buy them over the counter (if they are available that way) or, if I need a prescrition, how much do they cost that way? Thanks.

Furnished apartment recommendations in Prado Centro (Medellin)?

By august on Jul 13, 2009, 00:22 (today).

Hi everyone, quick question: does anyone know of any, or who might know of any, economical minimally furnished apartments in Prado Centro in Medellin, available for say 3 months starting at the beginning of August? 500k or below would be ideal, but we can be flexible. All we need really are a bathroom and a kitchen area (although the kitchen can be empty if need be - we've already got all that stuff). It's also going to need to be baby-tolerant starting about mid-September. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been in Cartagena for a few days, but today was one of

By Antithesis on Jul 12, 2009, 21:34.

the strangest. I spent the day in the old city with a few friends. We walked out of the city toward the ocean (past the Charleston Hotel for those of you that know Cartagena) to try to find a taxi. One of my friends has a problem with his leg and cannot walk very well. As we went out of the wall and into an area where a lot of taxis were parked I noticed one backing around a corner toward us at a high rate of speed. At the same time I saw a Jeep backing up in the direction of the taxi. I pulled my friend, who does not walk well, quickly with me out of the way (I did not save him, I just was scared we were going to be hit). My other friend slapped the cab's back window as he jumped out of the way. The cab abruptly stopped. By this time the Jeep was in drive and leaving the scene. The taxi driver jumped out and started screaming at my friend about hitting his window. My friend told him in no uncertain terms that he almost killed us. An older Colombian woman who spoke English then joined in and told my friend he should not have hit the window. I asked her if she was joking. She said that the taxi was trying to get out of the way of the Jeep and we had no reason to hit the window. I told her she was crazy. Then some rotund fellow started yelling at me in Spanish. He said we should go back to the US and then he started chanting "O-BAM-A, O-BAM-A, O-BAM-A" and called us "triple hijueputas". I just laughed and shook my head. What a day!

Two Rooms for RENT in MEDELLIN from (15th July) and (1st of August) in Sabaneta

By bibiana.euse on Jul 12, 2009, 21:26.

Hi, I´m BIBI I live with my lovely border collie, Lupe, in my flat which I'm currently sharing with a girl from Switzerland and a guy from France (very friendly and quiet) but he´s leaving on the 1st of August. The house is in Sabaneta, one of the nicest and safest areas of the city. In Sabaneta you´ll find all the commodities of a modern city (banks, shopping centers, cinema, restaurants, bars and clubs ) but the homely feeling of a little village has been preserved - it still has the little town square with a lovely church and elderly men chatting about the old days as a horse cart passes by! There are connections by shuttle bus to the metro station in Itagüí every couple of minutes so transport to the center, Envigado and Poblado is really good! (The metro line extension to Sabaneta is under construction and will be connected next year). The flat is situated on the top floor of a house just a couple of blocks from the main square in Sabaneta. There is one big room with closet (unfurnished), available from the 15th of July for $350.000/month and another room with private bathroom, desk and matress which will be available from the 1st of August. The flat has a spacious lounge with cable TV. WIFI internet, telephone, 24hr hot water and use of laundry and kitchen equipment are all included! For more info send me an email please! Best Regards and a little hug Bibiana Euse Mail: bibiana.euse at gmail.com

PROVIDING AN EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATION FOR TRAVELERS TO CALI.

By haleyed on Jul 12, 2009, 20:12.

Cali is a city that is very spread out and can be dangerous. It is also very difficult to manuever around in, therefore, to provide you all an opportunity to have a more enjoyable experience that will allow you to go into areas that you would not want to venture without being a Colombian, I would like to recommend a taxi driver, whom I have befriended. His name is Carlos, and his telephone number is 315-491-8820. His rates are very reasonable. He is just a super guy!. He is in his 30's, and is very honest, trustworthy, secure, and knowledgable. He can provide you with security, opportunities to go to bars/discos, tourist sites, that you would never find on your own, and you will have the opportunity to have an exceptional wingman who will always have your best interests and safety at heart. You will have alot of fun hanging out with him. Carlos also has access to many safe, secure, clean apartments with great views of the city of Cali that are located in the area of the Intercontinental Hotel. I viewed a few of these for my future stays, and was very well satisfied, and will strongly consider renting one of them in my future stays in Cali. You also will be charged a reasonable rate, and not the inflated prices that are normally being charged to gringos. I am also considering buying an apartment in this area to use as a rental unit when I will not be in Cali. If this happens, I will post pics and information on it. If you do choose to use Carlos, make sure you tell him Eduardo recommended you, as more than likely you will get benefits from it, and it is a way for me to show my appreciation for the fantastic and honest services that he provided me during my stay in Cali. I also want to make it quite clear that I am not getting any benefits from these recommendations. I am only posting this information, because I know how potentially dangerous and difficult Cali can be to move around in, and having someone such as Carlos looking after your best interests will make your stay more enjoyable and hassle free. He is a great asset to have next to you. He speaks only Spanish, so for those of you that have no knowledge of the Spanish language, and want to use his services, you can contact me, and I will act as a laison type to help you with any questions, concerns, or desires you may have. In person you will have no problem communicating with him if you decide you want to use his services.

Bancolombia has lost the AMEX code...

By Darloup on Jul 12, 2009, 19:43.

In Barranquilla, Bancolombia has apparently "lost" ther AMEX code to enable them to accept AMEX traverlers cheques. So far, they just refuse to cash AMEX TC (in dollars), even though they have a dedicated AMEX counter in their main hall. Any one has heard about this problem and what, to me, appears to be a crock of sh*t?
