Bogota = Drug capitol of the world.
Drugs = Lots of cash

Mexico is the drug capital of the world.

Porsches are very rare in Bogota. There are some but it is unusual to see one. Very few fine european cars.

I have lived in Colombia for 2.5 years. I have NEVER ONE TIME seen drugs. I have never been offered drugs on the street. I have never met a drug dealer. When I walk down the street in Miami, NY or LA I am offered drugs for sale but that has never happened in Colombia.

But it is ok, I understand your stereotyping from the media and television. Most Colombians think that Americans own a tree that grows money so it is not like people do not stereotype here.

I do not live in Bogota by the way. The car is registered there which is why the plates say Bogota but I live on the coast.
