You do not watch too much mainstream media, indeed, if you don't match Colombia with cocaine. In my brainstorming, I also included the one you mentioned: Colombia as a big forest, along with violence (but it's a reality rather than a stereotype), superficial women, etc... In the end, I chose the harshest one and focused only on that one.

Yes, Colombia has a ridiculously huge debt with the IMF, and the USA, and perhaps with the EU, and the rest of the alphabet... It's a paradox since capitalism got stronger thanks to the gold and silver of these lands. However, Colombia is one of the richest countries!!! I mean, not economically speaking, but countries like China, Canada, and Spain know that, and now they are buying our rivers, mountains, and forests... and yes, Colombia is also in the loooong list of countries being fucked by the USA.

This world is a mess!

I send loooove to you, thanks for dropping your comment :)... For sure, I´ll coninue making posts about Kolombia since I realized it's kind of a therapeutic exercise.
