!NO MAS FARC!

2008-03-24T18:07:56Z

NO MAS FARC (marchemos el 4 de febrero)
TODA COLOMBIA SE CANSÓ DE TANTAS MENTIRAS Y DE TANTA MALDAD.

Toda Colombia se cansó de que en los países del mundo que no saben nada de nuestro país existan JÓVENES INGENUOS que creen en la estúpida mentira, de que las FARC representan la lucha del pueblo colombiano.Toda Colombia se cansó de ver como un puñado de ASESINOS Y CRIMINALES juegan miserablemente con el dolor de los familiares de los secuestrados para exigir privilegios que no se merecen.
Toda Colombia se cansó de estar arrodillada ante el terror, ante el miedo a perder la vida, la libertad y la dignidad por cuenta de estos GENOCIDAS.

EL DIA LUNES 4 DE FEBRERO COLOMBIA ENTERA SERÁ UNA SOLA Y PACIFICA VOZ QUE MARCHARÁ PARA DECIRLE AL MUNDO DESDE LAS ENTRAÑAS DE SU ALMA Y DE SU CONCIENCIA, QUE NO QUEREMOS A LAS FARC, QUE RECHAZAMOS TAJANTEMENTE LA EXISTENCIA DE ESA GUERRILLA, Y QUE YA ES HORA DE LIBERAR A LOS SECUESTRADOS UNILATERALMENTE.

Con este grito inmenso lograremos decirle al mundo de forma contundente que las FARC son una plaga inhumana y cruel, y lograremos que algún guerrillero que aun tengan cerebro y corazón se den cuenta del mal que están haciendo y se desmovilicen masivamente.
Todos difundan este mensaje por toda Colombia, hagan llegar este mensaje a todos sus contactos, y reguémonos como pólvora, porque seremos todos protagonistas de un momento único en Colombia, el momento en que les diremos al mundo entero, ¡NO MAS FARC! ¡NO QUEREMOS MAS FARC! DÉJENOS EN PAZ!

Colombian Food mmm!

2008-01-16T18:05:43Z

Hey

I'm English but I love Colombian food. My friend's colombian (from Bogata) and her mum does the best colombian cooking. There are these little cakes she makes, a bit like mini pancakes - thats the only way I can describe them! And they taste a bit like potato, and I think they have cheese in too. I know she griddles them too. Does anyone know what they are and how I can make them. Also appreciate any other Colombian recipes too :D

Thanks

Patacon?

2007-06-26T05:43:02Z

Wikipedia's article on plantains lists Colombia as among the nations where plantains prepared in the described manner are called 'patacones', but also shows that a citation is needed for this claim.

I am of the opinion that 'patacones' are assuredly on restaurant menus in Bogota, and that they are the item in question.

Colombians... if you share this opinion, please ask your Ministry of Culture to clarify this matter for Wikipedia.

Oh how I miss it. Nothing better to warm you up during a NYC winter that a few shots of Aguardiente. Though now I live in San Fran and I have not found a bar or liquor store that carries it.

Anyone know where I can find this gem of a rum in SF?

Chiquita bananas...

2007-04-13T18:13:30Z

Chiquita Brands International have admitted to paying 1.7 million dollars to a terrorist organization here . this is a huge scandal here right now.
a judge in the States ruled for them to pay 25 million dollars, ONLY.
if you ask me, that's NOTHING for a company like chiquita, and NOTHING compared to all the harm they caused by "finacially supporting" a terrorist group, even if they were "pressured" to do so, it's still a crime here, and all that money allows them to keep terrorizing comunities and killing and kidnapping people here.

2007-03-20T06:33:17Z

Hola, que mas?
Soy americana pero vivo un parte en Bogota...
Ok, en ingles- Does anyone recommend getting a Colombian visa if I want/ need to stay there longer than the standard two months that most tourists get? Last year I stayed there for six months without any extensions or leaving the country, it wasn't that bad, but I ended up having to pay El Das a big fee... so does anyone have any suggestions for the best ways of getting a visa?
Thanks!!

La otra cara de Colombia que tapamos con el sol

2006-09-12T18:14:11Z

Cifra de desplazados en Colombia es mayor que lo que admite el Gobierno, afirma ONG

La Consultoría para los Derechos Humanos y el Desplazamiento (Codhes) y la Conferencia Episcopal de la iglesia católica insisten que esa cifra supera los 3,8 millones de personas.

Por su parte, Acción Social, la agencia presidencial de ayuda humanitaria, estima que el número de desplazados es de casi 1,9 millones. El censo nacional de población realizado el año pasado por el Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística señaló que en el país hay un total de 800.000 desplazados.

''Todo parece indicar que el gobierno, antes de reconocer la crisis social y humanitaria del desplazamiento, intenta desconocerla por la vía de las estadísticas o por acciones administrativas'' dijo el presidente de Codhes, Marco Romero.

Codhes presentó su informe semestral sobre desplazamiento forzoso y señaló que las cifras oficiales son poco rigurosas, ya que el gobierno comenzó a desarrollar la base de datos solo en el 2000, mientras que las estadísticas de la Consultoría tienen más de 20 años.

Las mismas cifras oficiales, sin embargo, indican que el 43,2 por ciento de personas desplazadas corresponde al primer mandato del presidente Álvaro Uribe (2002-2006).

El 88,6 por ciento de las personas contabilizadas por el gobierno, es decir 1,6 millones personas, fueron desplazadas desde que arrancó el Plan Colombia, en el 2000, que ha supuesto más de 4.000 millones de dólares en ayuda estadounidense para la lucha contra las drogas y grupos armados.

Codhes también informó que en el primer semestre registró por lo menos 112.099 desplazados, lo que supone una disminución del 27 por ciento con respecto al mismo periodo del año anterior, aunque matizó que esa caída se debe en buena parte al temor de las víctimas de registrarse ante las autoridades.

Las zonas que presentan un mayor número de desplazados son las que han sufrido combates entre el Ejército, los paramilitares y la guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias Colombianas, explicó Romero.

My Trip to Colombia

2005-03-28T22:23:17Z

My cousin was ordained the Bishop of Libano-Honda in early february; I went to Colombia with family to see the ceremony and to visit. I was there for about four days; arriving in Bogota thursday evening, touristing in Bogota friday daytime, flying to Manizales friday afternoon, and visiting with family. The ceremony itself was saturday mid-day; afterwards, my girlfriend and I spent a little time wandering central Manizales. We flew back to Bogota sunday morning, and went to see a bullfight in Bogota sunday afternoon. We flew back to the US monday morning.

I took over 600 pictures while I was there; about half are decent. I've posted them (look in the tribe "listings" for the links).

Hi everyone,

I'm an Australian who was fortunate enough to visit Colombia last year. I travelled from Sydney to San Francisco then to Colombia via El Salvador and Costa Rica, having no Spanish language skills. But it was certainly an adventure!! I stayed in Bogota and travelled to Barranquilla and Cartegena, both of which were beautiful.

To see the Andes was a truly spiritual experience and those lucky enough to live in Bogota get to experience this beauty every day.

What a beautiful country!

finding the most beautiful city.

2004-04-29T20:58:23Z

Hi, I'm new here. I'd like to leave for your consideration (as you can see, I was born in Colombia) this new topic, finding the most beautiful city in our country, so that anyone who want to go an visit aour country have already gotten an idea about the places he or she might visit. so what do you say??

Let´s start with Barranquilla.
I'm from that beautiful land of palms and sand, in our Atlantic Coast. Also called 'la arenosa' and 'la puerta de oro de Colombia' B/quilla is, for many people, 'el mejor vividero del mundo!'. I hope that you will forgive my so-marked, subjective point of view.

It's near Santa Marta (< 2hours) and Cartagena (2 hours), two of our world known, most touristic cities; and a little bit more distant from our capital, Bogota ( 16 hours by car, 45 minutes by plane). Its people, called 'costeños' for some ('cachacos'), are very easygoing, peaceful, funny and spontenous. It has beautiful women, as in all over our country.

Barranquilla has many of things for you to know and many places to visit.

It has a famous
-'Carnaval',
now a patrimony of mankind according to UNESCO. This 'carnaval' is a tradition that is more than 50 years old, where many people in disguises, wearing masks, dancing along with the drum's beating, takes the whole city into a 'rumba' state.

Its main events are 'la Batalla de flores' on saturday, 'la Gran Parada' on sunday and 'el Festival de Orquestas' on omnday and tuesday. These days, while the sun is up dancers of all ages takes a long jouney through the 'via 40' street, also called 'el rumbiodromo' dancing with no paused, in a mixed of color and happiness in the enviroment; while at nigths, the most important music singers perform a show that last until the next day in the morning, to start all over again. It last oficially 4 days, since friday to tuesday. 4 days of music and festivity. 'Carnaval' is for 'Barranquilleros' the most important and expected event during the year. We count the days for it to begin. Usually it starts the last of february or the beggining of march.

While in B/quilla you can go to several places to enjoy a terrific eveninig. If you enjoy partying, specially on weekends you could go to
- 'la 84' or 'la 79' streets,
where you could find places where you could dance and drink beer, 'ron', aguardiente' or 'whiskey' until you´re done (actually, at 3 o'clock in the morning these places stops their activities, by official command). Also, at only 25 minutes by car, we have
-beaches,
not as beautiful as cartagena's or santa marta's, of course, but where you could have a good time. You could go there at almost any time, during the day or at nights, where the ocean's breeze makes you forget about those +30 C degrees of the day. Ask for -'Klimandiaro' or 'Punta roca' beaches,
and you will know what I'm talking about.

You could stay at some fancy hotels if you have enough money ($85 US), like -
-the Prado Hotel,
-'Puerta de Oro'
-'Barranquilla Plaza'

That's it for today. There is so much to say about B/quilla that I could write an enciclopedy out of it, but I will stop now.

By far, Colombia's most beautiful city, my beloved and always remeber B/quilla.

need some advice...

2004-03-19T04:52:53Z

ok, so as a Colombian who has lived here most of my life I see Colombia a lot different than most of you guys, and I'm having a hard time deciding what would be more fun to do for an American who's never been here, go to Cartagena, or go to San Andres, I love both, but what do you guys think, I've invited a friend of mine to come and visit me and he's accepted, but now I can't decide what would be better, Cartagena or San Andres?
so I guess the Q would be...
where would you rather go to?

The Beaches

2004-01-14T21:08:25Z

So. I'm planning on going down to Colombia to see my family. I don't want to do the whole go to Bogota thing. Not because I don't like it but because that's all I do when I go down there.

I'd like to check out some of these beautiful beaches I keep hearing about in Colombia. Anyone with firsthand knowledge want to share with me the best places to go? In other words, safest, economical, outdoor activities available, nightlife, etc...

Muchas gracias.

Hi,

My father is Colombian, and I'd like to learn more about our
genealogy. I was wondering if you guys knew of any good
resources (people, web, books, etc) for Colombian genealogy.

Thanks,

Alberto
