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
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!!!!
