The Turkish and Colombian communities in my area of London have never, to my knowledge, been seen as anything but hardworking and law-abiding. Naturally, there are the usual stories, and talk of gangs and smuggling. But all communities seem to have to run that gauntlet. There is a level of native suspicion which they all have to overcome. Very interesting blog. Please don't let it lapse. Interesting that both Turkey and Colombia have economies distorted by drugs - more than usually, I mean.

I was wondering why it would be in English and then I realized you're American, so I had to drop a line. I'm actually Colombian (from Pereira) but live in NY, and have for about 12 yrs. I read only a few of your posts but I found them very interesting and informative for those who live in the US. I have trouble breaking the "drug" stereotype that comes with being Colombian. It is absolutely ridiculous, but most Americans don't know much about the beauty that is Colombia - and that's because they only know what they see in movies. Anyway, long comment, but you have a good blog - very informative for those who don't know a lot outside the US. Hey, I found your blog while looking for beautiful pictures of Colombia.

I will be moving back to Colombia from the US after 16 years of living in US. I wanted to ask you how come you dont have an entry about "Andres Carne de Res", that being perhaps the hottest place in Bogota not only cause of the rumba but also the food. Im sure you had some good times there, if you have anything to share very cool. Hey man, love the blog. I will be moving back to Colombia from the US after 16 years of living in US.
