The low culture so many of us embrace in the states is not acceptable to colombian aristocrats.

I guess it is too easy to become downwardly mobile in Colombia and the are afraid the underclass will rub off on them.

I went there one time and I was going to get a cut, but decided at the last moment that I didn’t want to look gangst’a…

I found a seller on Alibaba that claimed to be a CNC machinery manufacturer,

They had a machine that would usually cost 60 to 80 Grande here in the US, but that’s from a second party middle man! She gave me a price that’s believable if it’s coming directly from the manufacturer.
It’s very hard to buy thing directly from the manufacturers here in America that’s why the business man in all of us hopes we can meet a good supplier.

When I inquired about the machine we talked back and forth for over 3 months. These scammers are very good at making it seem like they are a legitimate business, taking requests and customization down to the last mm, they seem to know what they are talking about so I would not be surprised if they actually work in the industry…

After I sent them all the specification for the cnc router machine and everything seemed to be ready to process, the sales manager
“Peggy Gao”
Sent me a Proforma invoice witch looked like a joke, the company logo looks like it was cropped in using the paint program for windows!!!
Ms.Peggy claimed she needed 50% of the payment upfront to begin manufacturing the machine and asked me to go to China to learn how to use the machine, she wanted a bank money transfer for some of the money, and she claimed when I got to china I could pay the rest

Here is the bank info she gave me

BANK INFORMATION: Beneficiarys Banks Name: BANK OF CHINA LINYI BRANCH Bank address: 228 YIMENG ROAD LINYI CITY SHANDONG CHINA SWIFT CODE: BKCHCNBJ500 BENEFICIARY: Linyi Chaoda International CNC Technology Co., Ltd. Account Number: 384002850318093001 Tel: 86-539-8330719

I never went to chine and have stopped all contact with Linyi Chaoda International CNC Technology Co, in fear of getting scammed for allot of money

But I encountered a group of Korean MMAers and body buildersonce. So incongruous, haha

some memorable characters….u rely sold colombia here, sounds like a right laugh!!!

Getting deported is UNDENIABLY a positive for 95% of these guys. Stay tuned for the next article highlighting extraordinary things deported guys are doing.

Also agree with Kristina — you don’t normally see the media and movies portray deportation as a potential positive.

In Medellin there is another free outdoor gym next to the stadium. It’s a little bigger than the one near Lleras.

Jimmy and Colin: Black Africans were shipped to the colonies as slaves because they were resistant to disease, not because of physical prowess. Native American’s were primarily decimated by old world microorganisms, not by musket balls or the whip.

Jimmy – That is exactly why the Latin American countries that grow sugar have lots of blacks, mostly in the Caribbean. Still, there’s something different about them. Among the black people around the world I’ve met, none can compete physically with American blacks.

Not unlike Mexicans with Indian blood they have large torsos and short legs. They are built for strength, not speed, but I am sure there are many exceptions.

.

When the Brits first explored Africa, they thought they were physically superior to the local africans. This was because so many africans were under nourished & suffering from tropical diseases like malaria.

The Euros then figured out the physical toughness of the black africans. Sugar from the Caribbean was big business and the local Indian could not hold up working doing farm work in the tropical sun. Haiti, DR, Cuba all imported african slaves to do the hard work.

As American Blacks recede into American Baseball History, players from the Dominican Republic fill the void.
