They are not remarkable by Caribbean standards and are full of incredibly persistent peddlers, who will offer from beaded braids to tropical fruits to coconut water to three vallenato songs performed on the spot to a potentially dangerous but tantalizingly tasty oysters and shrimp cocktail.
And they don't take no for an answer, so don't expect that the equivalent of "put me in your do-not-call list" that works so well at home will make a difference here.
Stay in the pool, enjoy the marvelous architecture and local cuisine, dance the night away, visit the amazing San Felipe fort and the gorgeous Islas del Rosario. But stay away from the beaches, you won't be missing much.</span></span></p> </div> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"><em><i><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">- Anonymous</span></span></i></em></p> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12;"> </span></span></p> </div> <span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><a set="yes" linkindex="62" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.svmicro.com/"><strong><b><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;color:maroon;" ><span style=";font-size:13;color:maroon;" ></span></span></b></strong></a></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">COLOMBIA FROM MY PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW</div>JohnCulinaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02898724322659078110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16845118.post-48386171931983182042008-02-18T12:29:00.004-05:002008-12-10T09:02:45.070-05:00OH GOD!!

<span style="color:#663366;"><strong>THIS IS ONE OF THE BUILDINGS AT THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA. THE PICTURE OF THE “CHE GUEVARA” ALWAYS REPRESENT REBELION, FREEDON, FARE SOCIETY AND A BETTER LIFE FOR THE NEW GENERATIONS AT ANY PUBLIC UNIVERSITY……………IN MY VISIT TO THIS GREAT UNIVERSITY,………….I FEEL THE SAME VIBRATIONS FROM OTHER PUBLIC BUILDINGS FROM CUBA OR COUNTRYS FROM THE IRON WALL………..STUDENTS AND PUBLIC ALL TEND TO HAVE THAT COLD AND DARK AURA AROUND AND THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE IS ON THE AIR.
DON’T FORGET THIS PLACES PRODUCES ONE OF THE BEST PROFESIONALS IN THE COUNTRY………..AND WHEN THEY GET THE FIRST TASTE OF THE GOOD LIFE………………THOSE PRINCIPLES OF FARE SOCIETY ARE GONE.</strong>
