    I’m from Colombia and I really hope that by having “famous” people coming here, the world will be able to experience the country for what it really is. I have to say, the first 5 minutes of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” were incredibly insulting and bordering on ignorant. Bogota isn’t tropical at all, it’s usually around 60°F, not exactly a place where you can happily dance in the rain without getting sick. It’s also very cosmopolitan, with lots of malls and incredible restaurants, not at all like you would expect a city to be in a 3rd world country. However, it does have very empoverished areas (especially in recent years, a consequence of out internal conflict) and I hope Ms. Duff will be able to lend a helping hand. My advice? Take your time to get to know the city, and if you can, visit Cartagena (my hometown), you’ll be grateful you did.
