Bogota is a completely different world then Cartagena

Ah, capital city. The hustle and bustle of cars, motorcycles and buses. Skyscrapers, museums, churches. And people, everywhere.

Cartagena was much more of a travel destination. It was a place for where people, from what I could tell, people came to relax and enjoy the ocean and the VERY hot weather.

But Bogota is different. In the shadow of the Andes mountains sits the home of the president of Colombia and one million others. It's much like any other big city; traffic, shopping malls, crime, beggars and homeless.

It has a homely feeling though. And although the hustle may be a bit for some to handle, I feel as though anyone who has lived in a big city before could make Bogota their home. More later.
