| As a counterbalance to my opinion, have you read Dave's sticky, "Colombia: Don't Be Scared Away" in the General Latin Am forum? |

Guy, thanks for the help. I may want to have you look at my cover letter when I get it typed up, if you would be willing. I have never been to Sweden, what are saunas like there?
Moonraven, promiscuity ended? I�ve never picked up an STD. call me lucky.
Twisting in the wind, thanks for the advice about Colombia. I�m having a really hard time gettting a picture of what it would be like for me to live there. Three of the people I�ve talked to say it was fine, but the best I can find on-line is along the lines of its not that dangerous. I am going to stay here in SJ, at least for a few months. who knows what the future might bring. but I will keep your experience in mind if I decide to leave here. |

| . . . one of the resources I consulted on-line refered to them as �saunas,�hence my use of the term. I have picked up colorful local phrases in them, as well as other things. |
In the city where I live, they're referred to as ba�os de vapor or sometimes just ba�os. However, if you asked someone where the ba�os were, their first thought would most likely be public restrooms/toilets.

| Whatever happened to the End of Promiscuity? |
Judging from what I've observed in this city, I'd venture to say that the End hasn't arrived in this little corner of the world yet. |

Keep in mind my experience in Colombia is from 1991. But, my experiences with Colombian ss are from the early 2000's. Things may be totally different in Colombia these days....but I kinda doubt it somehow... |
