At the time it was rare to find a mayor settlement that was not a port or that was located as far away from the ocean as Bogota is. Add to this the remarkable traits of the people who inhabited the area before the Spanish arrived and you start understanding Bogota's peculiar culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932416299388256731.post-22319960627229279832009-01-13T21:49:00.000-07:002009-01-13T21:49:00.000-07:00"If the capital of Colombia were on the coast (Tie..."If the capital of Colombia were on the coast (Tierra Caliente), Colombia wouldn’t be Colombia -- it would be --- uh – well – Venezuela.<BR/><BR/>I didn't like the commentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932416299388256731.post-9951424981156354512009-01-13T21:45:00.000-07:002009-01-13T21:45:00.000-07:00I am Colombian and it is funny to read this becaus...I am Colombian and it is funny to read this because it is true, people from tierra caliente are more open than people from tierra fria. It's maybe because in tierra fria they wear ruana and in tierra caliente poncho, which is more open and light. In any case thanks for the blog and keep posting cool stuff<BR/><BR/>Liliana GLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039815809506305069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932416299388256731.post-64864046678378581252009-01-12T11:28:00.000-07:002009-01-12T11:28:00.000-07:00"If the capital of Colombia were on the coast (Tie..."If the capital of Colombia were on the coast (Tierra Caliente), Colombia wouldn’t be Colombia -- it would be --- uh – well – Venezuela." <BR/><BR/>LOL!!!

And I hope many adoptive parents/and the ones that want to be will find your page. <BR/><BR/>Nice that you have found my page. Sorry that it is in norwegian. I thought a lot about it, but in the end I decided to stick to my own language. But I still find it kind of hard. So it was nice that you tried the translate button. <BR/><BR/>Our dossier was sent 11.09.2008, DVA 3.10.2008 and we are waiting for colombia to approve us. Another dossier sent and DVA on the same day has already got their approval some time ago. So I am anxiously waiting... <BR/><BR/>Sorry for this incredible long comment. Wishing you a wonderful week :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
