This is a very well run and clean place and I recommend it to anyone wantitng to stay on the cheap in Bogota but wants to be further north than El Centro. I tis not a party palace hostal it is a hotel. Hotel Vienes Calle 58 No 9019 Bogota 235-268...

They compromise productivity for cheap labor and hopefully come out ahead. In business it is always my opinion that you have to play the game. If the executive does not live in the right neighborhood and hang with the right people then well he is ...

How do multi-national companies deal with these Colombian people then? You cannot micro-manage everything, alot countries have contracts with Colobian companies. What do I look for when hiring a Colombian executive ? or a techical professional , l...

I would think the upper middle class with visas, good educations, etc.... , are not quite as bad, as the barrio type you descibe.

yep exactly right! You got it right I wish more people could see it. Maybe it would invoke some change but I doubt that will happen. People just bail on this place and I don't blame them.

The most ironic of this is that all them will tell you straight to your face "llo no fui" like you say from the president down no one takes responsibility for their lies, theft and deceit. ITS KARMA.......THEY ARE GETTING WHAT THEY DESERVE YOU W...

Hey DG, I have read your posts for quite a while on the old PBH and always enjoyed them very much. Really good stuff. My ex's family is from Bogota and are always inviting me down -really good people. I remember reading about your bad street deal that happened and am glad to hear you are doing well. That shit was unnerving to read and for it to happen to a guy who I would absolutely say has an understanding of the street in the very least really had me thinking "if it could happen to DG.......then shit". I hope you are really having a great life in the big B and stay safe. By the way, I saw somewhere you posted a Charlie Musslewhite video "Christo Redentor" and learned the guitar part and now have my friend who is a great harp player laying it down as well. What soul!!! Thanks for putting that up!!

GIB thanks for the invite. Sounds like Bogota is burning and you don't want to leave...you know the song..New Orleans is burning

I am trying to get through the heat here in the Philippines after suffering from it in Thailand. I may be in Bogota sooner than I thought.

Hey Gib, Thanks for the invite. No censorship? This could actually be interesting!
Glad to hear you are feeling better. I am so sorry about what happened to you. Haven't been on PBH for many months - had to search to catch up. Hope you continue on your road to recovery!
