Photos of * HAPPY * Porsche!!!

You have been watching too much TV. People here are very friendly and polite. Car jacking just does not happen in Colombia. I feel more safe here driving it than I would in most American cities. I have lived here for over 4 years now and never once have I witnessed any acts of violence. The insurance company told me that there has never been a Porsche stolen in Colombia, not once, and there is only one insurance company that covers them so they should know.

And it is ColomObia not ColUmbia.

Take a look at this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qgW8Y7F8DN8

...nonetheless, Great pictures!

To much tv and listening to the news, we are all guilty of it at one time or another.

My wife is from Colombia and I have gone there 4 times. It is a beautiful country, I have never had any problems there. Bogota is the city I have been to the most, its like any other city, stay out of the bad parts. there are parts Of New Orleans I would step foot in because I would fear for my life. But thats every where.


VTCMart we are not flaming you, I mean before I ever went to Colombia my wife would tell me stories of how she would ride the bus around town, I assumed it was a colorful bus with people on the roof and chickens inside. Then I got there and realized they have "normal" buses there.

Cartagena you mention that you have been there for 4 years? Where are from originally and what brought you to Colombia?

I recommend everyone takes a trip to Colombia, hey Cartagna I think you should set a party up at your place for all of us!!

Provide the Club Colombia and I am there!!!!

I was born in the Communist Regime of Canada to parents of English and German decent. As a young lad I realised that I wanted to live in a free country like the USA so in my late twenties I started travelling a lot. I traveled through 14 countries before settling in Colombia. I first lived in Cartagena (hence my username) for three years and then bought a small hotel in Medellin about 14 months ago. Colombia is a country of great diversity with many beautiful things. Over the last several years the government is stabilizing the social problems which has resulted in real estate going up at rates around 100% a year which I have profited greatly from. I believe things will continue in this manner and complete stability will be reached in a short number of years. Plus my new assistant looks just like this.

Gary, I think you said you have only been to Bogota? You really should see Medellin as it is much more pretty. Take a look at my photos on my web site:

Wow, thats no small hotel.

I think we need to see some pictures of your new box with some of your other assistants as well. We don't want any of them to get jealous right?

I think this time we are going to travel around a little more.
As of now my plans are to come by and stay a night in your place. Once I know for sure I will get with you on the date.

I figure I need to get into this mix a little.
Here is a Colombian women with my car.

But first be polite guys this is my wife.
