Other - Latin America

I'm going on a trip to Colombia in about 4-5 days (basicly this coming friday). i have a mixed idea of what its going to be like. Some say, "Oh the people are the sweetest you'll ever meet". Others, "They'll steal your purse right off your shoulder at the airport" Some, "They're so poor, you have to wear really simple clothes to fit in" other, "Just ho as you look now. They dress up all nice just to go to the laundry!" So please, if anyones gone lately, please give me a STRAIGHT idea of what I should be expecting. I'm going to A City callewd Buga, around Bogota.

I was wondering what the price for average food and beverages are in Chile, Peru, and/or Argentina. Things of particular interest are in the headings but also a pizza, 2-minute-noodles, a bag of apples, and a fancy(ish) dinner out.

I am sure they enjoy live without drugs, not like most industrialized countries that use it and then blame Colombians.

I am a new high school math teacher, male, and single. Have never been to the Caribbean or Latin America, but would love to teach down there (I had a few offers). One of my biggest concerns frankly is the type of women, as I am ready for marriage and LOVE Latin, black, and mulatta women. However, I would like to find someone smart, educated, assertive, physically fit. I worry that such women are few and far between in some of these places, because of poverty (feel sorry for them).

The countries I am considering are Colombia, Venezula, Trinidad, Cuba, Panama, Jamaica, Dominican Republic. My ideal woman would be smart, assertive, athletic, tough, and swarthy. Thank you in advance!

I wanna know what is the most popular car troughout every country of the Americas, so that if I have an engine problem anywhere, it wouldn't cost me too much to fix it. I'm also looking for a affordable model and most likely a camper. Is the VW Vanagon a good choice?
