 How
To Disappear In Six Easy Lessons - Hiding Out In The Walled City Of Cartagena
- For professional reasons I read all the books on 'disappearing,' how
to become a fugitive, vanish, jump ship, go away, and not be found. Most
of them are rubbish. One failing they all have in common is telling
the 'disappeared' what location to go to once they jump ship. Most
of them mention Costa Rica. Disappearing in Costa Rica is like disappearing
in Beverly Hills, and almost as expensive. No one disappears in Costa
Rica, except perhaps the Costa Ricans that you invest money with.
If I were seeking a city where I could live without being found it would
be Havana, Cuba. Cartagena would be a second cousin, a slightly poorer
choice, but it would certainly be on my list, and I'll tell you why, in
fact, I'll tell you all about it, how to disappear, and how to go about
disappearing by using your brain, instead of going off on a tangent like
some sort of Wild Bill Hickok cinematic idiot - by Roger Gallo |

Adventures
In Colombia ~ The Journey Continues ~ By Mark McMahon - Back out
on the road and south of the border. Mark is an intrepid traveler and this
time he takes us to Colombia. Some of the best people I know are from Colombia
and from what they tell me the country is great even if the politics aren't.
Cartegena and Barranquilla are considered safer than most other cities
in Colombia. Mark gives us an idea about what it's like to travel and explore
Colombia and what a hard night with a bottle of Aguardiente is like...hmmm,
have had a few of those lately myself. |

COLOMBIA ~ Heart of Heaven, Heart of Hell ~ The Pros and Cons of Living
and Working in Colombia -
Larry M. Lynch has been living and working in Cali, Colombia, for the last
seven years. He has this to say to those of you considering moving to South
America, "Don’t worry needlessly over the politics and news reports. Never
mind the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. No longer does the sound of helicopter
gunships firing into the suburban brush greet your ears in the evenings.
President Andres Pastrana has adopted a 'get tough' attitude with guerilla
forces. President-elect Alvaro Uribe won based on his hard-line stance
against Guerilla and Para-military forces. Just remember to prepare yourself
for the adventure of a lifetime when you do come. It’s up to you whether
Colombia becomes the heart of heaven or the heart of hell." |

In Our Midst - An Interview With Peter Van Dijck, professional ex-ex-pat
- Amit Gilboa, wrote a book about a rare breed of expats in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia. In his book, 'Off the Rails in Phnom Penh,' Gilboa stated that
a lot of the expatriates who love the excitement of Cambodia also end up
living in Colombia and liking it. What is it like to live in Medellin,
Colombia? Read this interview with Peter Van Dijck, professional ex-ex-pat

Colombia
- Up In The Mountains Above Cali ~ by Jacky Akelsberg - Have made
many friends from Colombia during my time in Panama and invariably they
tell me that the Colombian countryside is amazing. Most people own farms,
but have trouble reaching them as the political situation in the countryside
is too dangerous. The above article gives you a little bit of an idea what
life in the countryside can be like when things are peaceful. |
