Hello,Our time in Colombia has come to an end and we need to ship some things back to California. Does anyone know of a good company to use? Thanks!

I've had the worst night ever!! Just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm feeling terrible... he just doesn't get what it's like to be in a different country and away from everything you know... he says I complain too much and don't make an effort but tha's easy to say when you are in your home town with your own language and your friends and family around!! Worst of all all of my friends are his friends so on top of everything I'm alone... wouldn't it be easier just to date other expats? any insights, advice or any charitable people who want to meet up for a drink to get my mind off things?

Does anyone know if they have big and tall stores in the city? Apparently I'm too tall for colombian brands and i'm in need of a suit that dosn't look like I borrowed it from my kid.... and dress shoes

Hello Group, I wanted to ask a question that I feel may be perfect for this group. We are moving from the US to Bogota next month. I wondered if any of you have insights, which items you wished you would have stocked up on or remembered to bring with you on your move. I have been told measuring cups and cookbooks. Any other good ones? Thanks in advance

Hello it's me again! I've been trying to figure out how to send things to colombja from the us (so that my family can still mail me post cards and christmas cards and the occasional care package) but for all of those things you are required to write down a post code and as far as I can see there are none in colombiA... Could this be true?
