Title: Bucaramanga.....MarkMTB Post by: NW Jim on October 21, 2001, 04:00:00 AM Mark,
See you didn't get any response to your query back on 10/4 about Bucaramanga. A couple of agencies: http://www.angelfire.com/co/matrimoniali/ Check the Latina agency section for Amigos International they have a least one "book" of ladies from there and also offer tours there. There is also a guy who posts here-- Michael B who has a lady in the Bucaramanga area.

Not anymore. That's the short version of the story, and I don't feel like sharing the long version. You guys carry on without me. And I wish you better luck than I had.

Good luck. n/t Post by: NW Jim on October 24, 2001, 04:00:00 AM Title: BTW Post by: Michael B on October 24, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to "who has a lady in the Bucaramanga ..., posted by Michael B on Oct 24, 2001

My impression was that Bucamaranga was not that safe...my wife, while not saying it's dangerous, says it's definately got more guerilla than the coastal cities, ie BQ & Cartagena...My wife even tells is not sure if she wants to take me to Santa Marta...but we may go when we are down there for new year's....Mike Title: Re: Re: Bucaramanga.....MarkMTB Post by: MarkMTB on October 22, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Bucaramanga.....MarkMTB, posted by JunFan on Oct 22, 2001
Hey Guys, thanks for getting back to me. Yes, you are correct that it may not be all that safe. Keeping inside the city from what I have heard is not too bad but the ride from the airport to the city is long and through "hostile" territory. I have been fortunate to have been able to talk with some local friends who have Colombian wives, they have encouraged me to go to Colombia but they have strongly discouraged me in going to Bucaramanga. They suggest BQ, Cali, Bog, Cart, and Medellin. For me, being that it is only my second visit, have light eyes, hair, skin, and not fluent in Spanish I am not really in the mood for target practice... thanks again, my flight leaves soon, I will keep you posted! |
