Closing down the site
By Peter on Mar 28, 2010, 19:26.
Hi all,
PBH has run for over 10 years as a great place to get and share information about Colombia. Unfortunately, during the last few years, there has been a (very) small minority of people who thought it was ok to personally attack, threaten and harass, both on phb, on other websites and in real life, other members that they disagree with. You know who you are.
So the time has come to close the site down. I want to sincerely thank all of you who have contributed during the years, answered questions, helped out people, formed friendships etc., and especially thank the moderators and everyone else who has helped out to make PBH work for as long as it did.
The archives will stay up for a while to help out people searching for information, but from now on, and with a sad feeling in my heart, this website is permanently closed.

Sky Blue Bar in Armenia
By jimmymcc on Mar 28, 2010, 19:07.
Anyone going to Sky Blue Bar in Armenia (opp portal/ sao) in the north keep an account of the beers you drink, or do not run up a tab and pay at the end of the night, as the rip people off,
Last night they tried to overcharge us 25mil, and when we asked to see the bill, all we were told was we don't do bills,
we told them where to go and walked out, did they try to call the police as I asked them to, NO.
I have since found out from others, that this is an old scam of theirs,sometimes they try to get a late comer to pay the bill away from the group,
Thats one less pub for me to drink in,

Rooms available, La Macarena
By span_colombia on Mar 28, 2010, 18:27.
Hello all,
sorry, no pictures (I know I know).
I've got a couple of good sized rooms available in a nice apartment in a really nice area of La Macarena. The larger room costs 500.000/month and the (slightly) smaller room costs 450.000/month. The rooms are unfurnished. There is 1 bathroom to be shared among the 3 large rooms and there's also the bathroom in el cuarto de servicio, which is off the kitchen.
I'm in the process of furnishing the apartment; ideally would share those costs with my roommates. I've already bought a fridge (no freezer) and microwave. The apartment is spacious, beautiful and has wood floors throughout.
I'm looking for quality renters (no weird or too loud people, creeps, or non-payers), preferably 4 months minimum, but may be able to work something out for shorter term. I would require references.
Honestly this is a steal for the right person. I'm expecting to absorb significantly more costs than my renters, not to mention the not inconsiderable hassle of renting in the first place.
Please pass this on if you personally know a (trustworthy) person looking for a room in that area.
Send me a pm if interested
