19. Question: Which city in Colombia is the nicest to live in? How can an American become a citizen of Colombia? Do you have to be a citizen of Colombia to live there and buy a house there? I’m an American, and I really want to become a citizen of Colombia. Thank you.Answer: Colombia have the choose for dual nationality,since You are american , you can obtain a Colombian citizen ship only on the follow cases, live in colombia for more of 5 years,you parents were a Colombians (at lease 1) and you born out side of Colombia,by blood up to 4 level of relatives or by married. For more information go to the Colombia web site www.colombia.org. About buy a house , you don’t need to be a full citizen of Colombia, you only need you passport id resident for Colombia is a special documents for non Colombian citizen called “cedula de extrangeria” and have the money to pay for the property or the credit to obtain a financial option. Where you wanna buy a house is another history,Colombia has too many nice towns to live at all depends where you want to live, Colombia don’t have seasons so if you pick a hot or cold town that will be always like that, also you want to see activities around the town, how old are you? are you looking for a party town or more a small really quiet village.

Here is a some ideas:

Cartagena and Santa Marta are probably the best 2 choices in the caribbean,Bogota is about 32-45 degrees , a lot of activities and parties places to go,Medellin is more warm 45-70 degrees ,nice modern town,with mountains and valleys,Bucaramanaga , is a 75-85 degrees town called also city of parks and the pretty city also, and finally Cali with all Magic of the pretty womans around the area and 2 hours drive to the pacific ocean, the pacific ocean is not very good for beach’s since the water is really muddy. My recomendation is take a nice trip to Colombia , learn about the culture , food what change alot depends where you go,and the life style for each region ,take 1 week for see the north coast ,2 weeks for the central region and couple days for south the country in Cali town. then you will be available to decide what is the best for you and your interest. If you going to hunt for jobs the panorama will be difficult other then you have a really high and special skills, or you stablish you own business.

20. Question: How long does it take to fly from Alaska to Russia? Let’s say….Fairbanks, AK to northern Siberia, Russia.

Answer: If this is a hypothetical question, then the answer would be less than a minute, since the Diomede islands (which form the border at its closest point) are only two miles apart. If it is a practical question, however, and you are looking to fly commerically from Fairbanks to anywhere in Russia, the answer will be excruciatingly long, since the only available routings are going to force you to go WAY out of your way. Say, Fairbanks to Seattle to Tokyo to Russia. Or Fairbanks to Anchorage to Taipei to Russia. Alaska Airlines used to serve some of the nearer cities in Russia, but all those destinations have been dropped. As to the time that takes: I can’t find any combination of flights that gets you there in under 24 hours elapsed time (and of course you lose a day crossing the Innternational Date Line, so on the calendar it is 48 hours). The Seoul connection almost works OK, but you just miss the last flights to Russia, so are forced to overnight…It is true that this is a remarkably difficult trip to manage. Although I do not know how it might complicate the visa issue, given the number of air taxi services in Alaska, if this is a trip you actually need to do, it might very well be worth considering chartering a plane to do it. Given the number of Russians who work in Alaska, I find it rather remarkable that there is no longer any direct service whatsoever.
