(Mis)Adventures in Colombia and Peru
"*The van I was traveling in was stopped and held up with knifes, but the driver gassed it before they could open the door. This was apparently quite typical in Colombia.*" Colombian here. What made you think that? That's not common at all. I've traveled every day by bus for studying and work between Bogotá and a town near there and I've never withenssed anything remotely similar to what you described. You also have to take into account that Cartagena is not Colombia. Nor Medellín or Cali. The country is too big and diverse for a single city being representative of all the country.— June 26, 2013 12:25 p.m.
