Not as you might expect by Duncan Sample

Having been to Bogota a few times now (for 2 months overall) I can say that the stereotypical view of Colombia is totally wrong. When I was walking around in the evenings there were parks with children juggling and playing games, and friendly people all around. Taxis are safe and Yellow cabs are a lot cheaper than the white cabs usually parked outside hotels.

For food and drink, I would recommend the steaks and a chicken restaurant called Los Pollitos. Yuka fries are particularly nice and fresh fruit drinks are available everywhere, ‘Lulo con Leche’ is particularly nice (Lulo is a fruit unique to Colombia).

Several of my friends from College were from South America. Bogota is where I would like to go and re-locate them again. Syliva., Maria, Tony., Olga., they were brother and sisters. over 5 years ago

I spent a year in Bogota in 1993-1994. I lived with a host family and worked as a volunteer at a hospital, and later in a national park. It was intense, it was fun, and it changed me forever.

it was under a state of siege…the police chief had been murdered by the narco traffikers, and the government locked down the city and arrested everyone who didn’t look like they belonged there…including gringos. I spent three days in a jail before the American Embassy sprung me
