It's interesting how Colombia has such a bad name and I have been there a couple of times in the last couple of years, and to be honest with you I feel more safe walking around in some places there like Medellin, and Bogota then I feel walking around Toronto or NY. It could change in a couple of years but for now it is a nice country to visit and I will go as far as to live in.
by the way, what do you mean .. "even though its in colombia" ..? thats the point here .. colombia is rich with gold .. there are alot of great things about colombia .. they have their problems but who doesnt .. it used to be pretty bad here but things are really shaping up .. the president has really cleaned up the big cities (especially medellin) and this place is booming .. i have been here for over a year now working .. its great ..
