    Going to Colombia in a few weeks. What should/shouldn't I do?

    Second time you've recommended coke in the same thread. Are you some kind of idiot, or what?

    Going to Colombia in a few weeks. What should/shouldn't I do?

    Anyone have any non-cocaine ideas for me? Also, Bogota is statistically safer than Washington DC, so knock that shit off.

    Going to Colombia in a few weeks. What should/shouldn't I do?

    So my friend and I speak a little Spanish between the two of us, and he cashed in some Continental dollars for 2 tickets to Colombia. We're gonna be there for 7-8 days, which we'll probably divide evenly between Bogota and Medellin. We're looking to do everything on the cheap, but with the...

    Win $3! Help me prove my roommate wrong!

    So, my roommate's been on my case about charging my laptop (a standard Apple Macbook) and keep the computer on when I'm not at the apartment.

    Traveling to Europe this summer

    Thanks again for the input. Can anyone point me to the cheapest way to utilize the rail system. Looks like I'm looking at a minimum of 6 days of country to country travel. A lot of the rail systems I've looked at won't give me quotes this far in advance. Would a rail-pass be my best best?

    Traveling to Europe this summer

    Thank you all so much! The main reason we are booking flights in and out of Dublin is that I was told those flights would be the cheapest, as Dublin is geographically closest to the US. This obviously does not seem to be the case. A couple of new questions: -Would skipping the UK be a...
