Colombia.

my supervisor's husband is columbian and living in the US now. he has been gone from columbia for about 20 years (he's about 50 now). his family has told him never to come back because he's been gone too long and he will no longer blend in with the locals and would be a target for kidnapping, robbery, murder, etc.

Damn. I must've gotten crazy lucky then. I speak some basic Spanish and stuck out like a sore thumb when I was in Colombia less than a month ago for 10 days on vacation.

Didn't have a problem with Bogota, Cartagena, or Medellin. And we went to some pretty shady places far outside of the city center. Hell, I'm even thinking of making a 2nd trip down there middle of this year to see Cali and Medellin chicas again.

Then again, stay away from Colombia. Don't want a bunch of gringos invading the country with dolares and inflating the price of everything. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
