    I’m from Colombia and I really hope that by having “famous” people coming here, the world will be able to experience the country for what it really is. I have to say, the first 5 minutes of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” were incredibly insulting and bordering on ignorant. Bogota isn’t tropical at all, it’s usually around 60°F, not exactly a place where you can happily dance in the rain without getting sick. It’s also very cosmopolitan, with lots of malls and incredible restaurants, not at all like you would expect a city to be in a 3rd world country. However, it does have very empoverished areas (especially in recent years, a consequence of out internal conflict) and I hope Ms. Duff will be able to lend a helping hand. My advice? Take your time to get to know the city, and if you can, visit Cartagena (my hometown), you’ll be grateful you did.

  8. Hilary Duff besides to be beautiful woman. She is kindhearted. I like that she is supports the fair cause in Bogotá Colombia. With her plan “BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK”. I hope that Hilary Duff be welcome in that country.Besides,I hope that She likes Bogotá Colombia. And colombian people show their appreciation to Hilary. I like that Hilary helps poor people. Hilary. I would like to meet you someday. Hilary. I wish you luck in Bogotá Colombia. You drive me crazy. I support you in everything. Hilary. I love you. Love, your secret fan.
