Happier Abroad Forum Community

I guess my last thread about Colombia is still getting hits, so I will create a part two. I am in a small town outside of Bogota and loving Colombia as much as I did the first time. I feel like I found my "spiritual" home so to speak. In about a week I will be in Tijuana, where I have been interviewing for a decent job (by my standards). Ever since I left Michigan and arrived here, I have not had the inkling to even check my FB hardly. The one positive over last time is I don't have as many issues with pollution clouding my lungs as last time. However, there have been certain instances where I had headaches from what I believe is the altitude. Food has been cheap as always, enjoying the moderate weather, and looking at potential options for business ideas. Only downside of this trip is Avianca, which lost some of my stuff, including a gift to my gf. At any rate though, I am enjoying the outskirts of Bogota and love it so far. If you have any question feel free to ask. I will post more later.

Colombia's pollution problem is so bad that my eyes burned the whole time I was there. And just taking in deep breaths stunk of car exhaust.

On the other hand, the women in Colombia are second to none, and I'd rate them as high as German women.

Went out to a good restaurant in Villavicencio. I am kinda shocked how dangerous it appears. The gf wanted to go there, so I decided to try something different. On a positive note, it seems like there are a better stock of hookers if that is your thing. There seems to be more near the hotel area of the city away from the city center. At any rate, it seems like there is more trouble here than in Bogota or Medellin. I also visited Madrid which was not too bad. Will keep yous updated.
