Man, what do you gotta do to be Peter's friend around here? Guess making smart ass remarks doesn't qualify.

But I do like the new site.

Hello Peter, I really cheered up when I found PBH, what a terrififc resourse and a great site. Thanks for taking time to drop me a line, I am looking to find work in teaching, I am currently a student with the Open University in the UK, reading International Studies, but I have a few years left to go with them. I want to organise continuing my studies with them while in Colombia, it seems that may not be a problem. I have read on the PBH forum about the possible teaching oppotunities, now I will try and sort something. Thanks again Peter.

Hi Peter, I've been reading through some of the old PBH posts that relate to teaching English in Bogota, I'm a bit confused about it mate. Some reckon the schools don't have enough native speaking teachers and there's no problem finding work while others describe a situation where they struggle to find more than a few hours work a week. Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated, thanks, Mush.

Hi Peter,

I recently joined the PBH Community and I am loving it! The only problem is that I would like to change my username. When I created my account I thought that my username was the one that I was going to use when logging in, not the nickname to appear when posting/replying, etc...

I am not very happy with my username. Will it be possible for you to change it on my behalf, or is it better if I create a new account...

Thanks for your help,

why is colombia third from top to bottom? mexico and cuba are on top of colombia? shouldnt colombia be first since of all the countries its the one with the most posts and comments?

Hi,
I am new here and found this conversation to be relevant to my situation. I live in Barranquilla (3 years) and rent high end (Mirimar strato 6) and I intend to live here a long time. I really need to hook up with people who can inform me on so many issues (I have a US based biz here and I also want to invest for the future -real estate?) Any ex-patriots or knowledgable folks out there?? Also great to make new friends and adventures. BTW, I can give a sales job to perfect American English speakers. Right now I would love to get info on home auctions(banks or whatever). I am thinking a good investment here would be to buy a distressed house cheap and fix it up then flip it with a descent profit and continue or at least create a home for me instead of throwing $ away on renting in strato 5-6. Help me please to understand how to thrive in Barranquilla. Thanks in advance

I saw that you commented on a post on how a Colombian high school student lives. I am a current high school student living in Kansas. I am looking for a school to study at in Bogota Colombia. I understand that you studied in Kansas. Out of curiosity I wanted to know what high school you attended and where you lived, as you mentioned it was much easier for you to study here in the states. I hope you can help me to better desipher this situation, with this imformation I can understand how difficult it may be for me and if I will follow through with my dream to study abroad. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP :) please comment back.
