Colombia is at the northern part of S. America, I think it's next to Brazil. It was a company trip, I think it was about $5k per person including flight and lodging. I was pickpocketed at the conference, but thank God I didn't have much cash inside as I kept the bulk of it in the hotel safe. The wallet was returned the next day with all my cards intact, cash gone. So you do need to be careful in crowded places. The majority of the people there are friendly and they are more likely to want to take pictures with you as Asians are rare over there. We had swamps of people wanting to take pictures with us at the conference that we felt like some superstars! :bsmilie:
