Hi, I'll be visiting Cali in April,and being gay, I was hoping someone might give me a few pointers into where to go and where not to go. I know in many latin countries, gay life is very don;t ask don't tell. Is there a specific area where I can go and stay, or are gay clubs spread out over the city? What do I need to look out for- I live in new York, so obviously I'll use my gut feeligns, but any ideas on specifics I should look out for- hustlers, and the like- that I might miss... any decent hotels in the gay area? Many thanks Mike

I have been doing some research on travel in Colombia and from what I can gather it seems to have a pretty strongly enforced 2 tier pricing structure for foreigners. I would like to find out if it would be better price wise to book my hotel accomodations online in advance or wait until I get into town. Also need advice on how to organise the trip. I am also interested in going to Bogota. I´m considering a 3 month trip so how would you suggest that I break up the time in between the 2 locations. My primary reason for going is to get experience speaking Castellano.

Are there any foreigners that I could contact that could give me some information about Cali.
