Travels

How intelligent you are, Nico. I wish I was smart like you.

He is smart like you. He’s just being his stupid self.

maybe if you practice and play more chess games? :wink:

telling someone to enjoy and to be careful of someone putting drugs in their luggage because they are visiting the main cocaine producing country in the world is stupid?

then iam guilty as charged lol

You are stupid because everyone knows cocaine enters the country through Bush/Halliburton drilling rigs on the coast.
I’m not sure how it gets into Canada. I’d have to read up on past presidents.

First, Nico is lying. He did intend it as a (very stupid) joke. Second, smuggling cocaine into Colombia is like smuggling sand into Saudi Arabia.

its gets there by scumbags that threaten, pay, give a present with stuff in it, add a suitcase, sneakily hide things in the luggage of visitors that return to canada

there you go again, even after i told you what i thought… your mindreading powers still got it wrong lol

when people tell others they take a trip for a few weeks, there is usually also a return trip…

shame i mentioned cocaine producing country and not mistyped cocaine importing country or you would finally have a point at your old age eh? :wink:

Have you been dipping your bread in Nico’s bowl? I wasn’t talking about smuggling cocaine into Colombia. I was alluding to power wielding presidents and the schemes they use.

i assure you he isnt dipping anything into anything of me lol

Uh…that sounds weird.

I am in Bogotá. It is amazing how much this place feels like home.

weather looks nicer and cooler than here!

Wow. You got there fast.

Most of my friends talk about leaving the city one day and moving somewhere quiet. I am not them. I don’t like quiet, at least not too much of it. And Bogotá is most definitely not quiet. We walked La Séptima today. It’s hard to describe La Séptima to westerners. Imagine a human beehive several kilometers long, teeming with music, dancing, art and noise. It’s not very clean or safe, and Colombians don’t really understand the concept of personal space. Despite all that, or perhaps because of it, it is one of my favourite places on Earth. See those old geezers playing chess in the middle of that moving sea of humanity? That’s my idea of a beautiful retirement. I hope to join them someday. There’ll be plenty of time to enjoy quiet when I’m dead.

I creeped on your Google page. Great photography. You have certainly captured their culture. A beehive of people doesn’t sound like a fun place to be but it’s really a very colorful place. I noticed a lot of graffiti or artwork on the walls, depending on who you talk to I suppose. Keep your shoes on though. I’ve encountered three scorpions in 2 weeks.

Interestingly, I hate graffiti in Canada. It’s fine in Bogotá somehow.

I’m sure it’s the environment. You’re accustomed to pristine landscape and concrete at home. Bogota is probably more like taking a Sunday drive around the countryside with dirt roads and the smell of nature all around you.

We spent a couple of days in Medellín. We decided to close our storage unit and give everything away to poor people. We are travelling too much right now to always be returning to one place (other than Vancouver of course). Having done that, we flew to Bucaramanga where we are now.
