    Wow, that is beautiful! I'll have to visit now!

    I actually thought most of Colombia was full of gangs and trashed out areas, but these photos have proven otherwise! Bonita, muy bonita!

    Yes Simtropoleans, this is not an "ugly" country, actually every country is beautifull in its ways, but we can not trust the newspapers and news channel sometimes, the "taboo" that people is creating itselfs is that in every part of Colombia there is gonna be a gun, or a killed man, or violence, or a great shantytown as scripted in "mr. and Mrs Smith", Thats a lie. Thats why this man aleko is showing to you, the prettyness of this country, of course we have to solve our problems, but is not The Problem country. That is what this thread is introducing to you, that a country that is stigmatized by  broadcasters and news media, as the horror slum, is only a type of "cliche" and is not real, and, thats what all South Americans want to tell all the world, don't be afraid!!

    Thankyou Simtropoleans!4.gif
