The Tiple of Colombia\nA small instrument of the guitar family, similar to a ukulele, with 12 strings in 4 sets. Associated with the Andean region of Colombia. Tiple virtuoso David Puerta has this to say about the Colombian Tiple "The tiple is a Colombian adaptation of the Renaissance Spanish vihuela brought to the New World in the 16th century by the Spanish conquistadors," Puerta says. "At the end of the 19th century, it evolved to its present shape. Its 12 strings are arranged in four groups of three: the first group consists of three steel strings tuned to E, the second, third and fourth groups have a copper string in the middle of two steel strings. The central ones are tuned one octave lower than the surrounding strings of the group. This arrangement produces the set of harmonics that gives the instrument its unique voice."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiple#The_Tiple_of_Colombia

My uncle is a Colombian (for the love of God, spell it right!) Air Force soldier, and he's fighting the guerrilla from above.\n\nThe US aids Colombia, by giving them weapons, but the guerrilla has money and power. They were even aided by past presidents!\n\nThe guerrilla is located somewhere in the Amazon which is in Southern Colombia. That's common knowledge there. The problem is, that it's hard to find them, as they have tons of tracking devices. Besides, the guerrilla knows that poverty is a huge problem, and uses that to their defense.\n\nI've suffered from the guerrilla, as they killed a close family member, and sent back his body in pieces.

-Dress:formality increases as you move inland. Suits in dark colors are preferred. You may be judged by how you dress so choose conservative attire which is not dated or well-worn. Grooming is important in Colombia as it is in most countries. Pay close attention to the condition of shoes, accessories, hair and nails.\n-Language :The official language of Colombia is Spanish and spoken by around 43 million people. \nEating Habits:Lunch is the main meal of the day and a popular choice for a business meal.\nColombians tend to be a very formal people, and there is a great emphasis on proper table manners. Needless to say, touching food with the hands, chewing with your mouth open, and trying to talk with a mouth full of food will be frowned upon. \n-Colombian Society & Culture\nMost Colombians would consider themselves to be Roman Catholics.\nThe family takes centre stage in the social structure.\nIt is still common for children remain at home until they marry. \n-Etiquette and Customs in Colombia\nMen shake hands with direct eye contact.\nWhile shaking hands, use the appropriate greeting for the time of day: "buenos dias" (good day), "buenas tardes" (good afternoon), or "buenas noches" (good evening/night). Women often grasp forearms rather than shaking hands. \nMost Colombians have both a maternal and paternal surname and will use both.\nColombians typically ask numerous polite questions and go through other pleasantries. Expect inquiries as to your health, your trip, your family, and any friends or acquaintances you have in common.\nWhen going to a Colombian's home, bring fruit, a potted plant, or quality chocolates for the hostess. \n--------------------------------\nIt's an asset to make the effort to learn Colombian history and culture before your visit. Having a basic knowledge of these subjects will do a great deal in establishing rapport. Generally, Colombians are very proud of their culture and national accomplishments.

Actually it was '94 and it was a Colombia mafioso that had him killed because he lost millions in gambling because as a result Columbia lost to the US.\n\nNot fair, but it wasn't the Colombian government.

Good question.  Colombia tied Germany in the group stage on June 19, 1990.  It was a 1:1 game.  Colombia advanced to the round of 16 but lost to Cameroon.

Depends on where you are from.....if you are from the U.S. which believes North and South America to be a seperate continent then it is North America since North America ends at Panama and South America begins in Colombia.
