Brighton - Its just like Cartagena

That girl must have been hitting the pipe big time. You cannot compare CTG to Brighton... I find CTG slightly more bearable, the thought of living in Brighton gives me the creeps.

Hey Shorty , haven´t been to Cartagena yet but most Brightonians I´ve met are wackoooo´s , but somehow kind of cool ? Not many places you go where people dress fancy dress style , costumes for every day living , remember passing some bird dressed in some bright purple fairy costume wings included going shopping.............

Shorty,
I feel she has a point,both have splendid architecture,both are famous as party towns and both are full of people taking drugs,getting pissed and looking for cheap,meaningless sex.

in that case...Cartagena is like similar to all cities in the UK.

Edinburgh is quite similar to Cali too.

One nice thing about the trip to the Embassy yesterday....theres some free paper in there that was full of CRAZY prices for flights to Colombia.

£250 - £420 for a return...I need to investigate them.

Sarasota is in Florida an hour south of Tampa. We were watching the sunset from Siesta Key looking at downtown Sarasota. My wife said it looked just like Cartagena.

Sarasota is in Florida, they are kind of similar, but Sarasota is not dirty nor does it have all the panhandlers. I am still a San Destin fan.

Here is Sarasota.

I think she was just refering to the architecture. We were at the base of the bridge with the sun at our backs. It was pretty scenic and colorful. This photo does not show the colors or the facades well at all.

it is a bit Cartagena-esque.

Brighton on the otherhand is just full of students and fruits.

When I took my wife to Athens(Atenas), she was amazed at the similarities it has with Colombian cities.Chaotic,polluted and full of street vendors,slightly half finished buildings and the people sitting around aimlessly not doing much in particular.
Of course,I am yet to find the ancient Agora or the Panthenon in Medellin or Bogota !

I think you are all missing the point. The charm of Colombians is that they always want to flatter you. The girl compared the town with Colombia's best town just to be friendly not to make a point. Similarly they all praise my Spanish, bless them, even if it's stretching the truth, who cares?
