THE CULTURAL LIFE OF THE ANCIENT BOGOTA’S PEOPLE Bogota was a city isolated enough, since the road links were very precarious. Only at the end of the century this isolation was yielding thanks to the railroad and some roads that put in touch with the river Sponge-cake and across this one with the Caribbean coast. In the decade of the sixties, writers of diverse trends gathered in crowds about the magazine Mosaic, founded and directed by Jose Maria Vergara y Vergara, and shaped one of the first attempts of telling the history of the Colombian literature and of consolidating the cultural identity of the country. The cultural life of the city was centering in the literary gatherings that during the 19th century allowed the persons to share their literary and political worries and to be present at musical presentations and of dramatic works. In the Theatre Maldonado there were carried out representations of theatre and of opera and already at the end of the 19th century Bogota was possessing two important theatres: Christopher Colón's Theatre, inaugurated in 1892, and the Municipal Theatre, inaugurated in 1895, which was offering operettas and musical magazines. During the 19th century, in spite of the constant raisings and the civil wars that altered the normal development of the new republic, in Bogota there were remaining the traditions and customs that were going back to the colonial epoch, combined with some European influences. In the meetings and in the gatherings they were imposed certain show restraint and refreshments: the chocolate with collations and sweets elaborated in the houses was served in the nights, and the potato and chili stew turned into the local dish. In the night parties one was touching in the piano the musical pieces of local composers, and in the most numerous meetings the corridor was danced. www.colombia.travel/en/international.../bogota

Victory of the Bogotá team Santa Fe on Copa Mustang!The victory and its acceptable position in the League are a balsam for the soccer of Bogota in the middle of the bad results of Millonarios on the league and the irregular production of the team Equidad. This role of won matches of the Santa fe team is a call for all the fans in order that they support them. The suffer of all fans of Santa fe was present on the Campin when after 64 minutes the match continued to be 0-0, all pointed for the victory of Nacional due to the Santa fe team played only on one half of the court permitting Nacional to advance, but after all this suffer finally a goal was mark on the chart, goal made by the player Luis Alfredo Yanes, goal maker of the Santa Fe team.
Giovanni Moreno and Víctor Ibarbo were a headache for Germán Centurión and for Carlos Váldes, defenders of the capital, who, before the mistake of brand in the volantes, met unprotected.
Finally, in the assault, Luis Yanes, who also annotated, met decentralized and near seven you were of game they demonstrate it. In addition, the insistence of the DT with the forward Christiam Nazarit is illogical: Julio Gutiérrez is a much better player and demonstrated it in only 30 minutes.
Ultimately, it is good that Santa Fe wins, but also it is key that this good result opposite to Native serves him to correct the functioning of an equipment or team that, of distant view, would have to play much better.

The Colombian Copa Mustang II championship has begun to take shape with Atletico Huila comfortably on top while America de Cali struggle near the bottom. The action continues this weekend as Huila defend their lead against second-placed Medellin.
The first match of the round takes place a day earlier however as Santa Fe and La Equidad meet for a Bogota derby on Saturday. La Equidad have won the last three league meetings against Santa Fe but did lose 1-3 in a Copa Colombia clash last month. Santa Fe have been doing well in recent games and will look to continue their good form at El Campin and are favored by bookmakers to do so.
Defending champions Once Caldas host Millonarios later on Saturday. Caldas haven't been performing as well as expected while Millonarios should be happy with their season start. The last two meetings between these clubs ended undecided, but Millonarios beat Caldas in Manizales last year.
Another entertaining clash is the coastal derby between Real Cartagena and Atletico Junior, a match that could really go either way.
Atletico Nacional host Cucuta Deportivo on Sunday, with Cucuta looking to beat Nacional for the first time since 2007. Of the last four encounters, Nacional won two and the other two ended in draws. Cucuta need the win most, being placed 15th at the moment.
The top clash of the week is without a doubt the match between Huila and Medellin. Huila haven't lost a single match this season and even in case of defeat, they would still remain in first place. Medellin did lose twice but won the four remaining games to occupy second place. If Huila wins this game, the gap will grow considerably. If DIM win however, the deficit would be just one point.

Bogota’s upscale dining district enjoying a café latte and American-style brownie. Executives in expensive-looking suits and bohemian students are chatting over cappuccinos or hunched over laptops, taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi. There are soft coffee shop beats playing in the background and the energy seems right.
Coffee is Colombia’s second best known export and café culture is a big part of day-to-day life in Bogota. As an expat living in Bogota, I am constantly discovering fantastic new coffee shops and absolutely love the fact that Starbucks isn’t my only option. Tinto can be bought just about anywhere; in fact, even a sidewalk vendor will be glad to sell you a cup of black coffee. There are plenty of great neighborhood coffee shops in Colombia’s capital, ranging from inexpensive cigarrerias to high-end European-style cafes. So if you’re in Bogota for a couple of days (or long-term) you may want to check out some of my favorite spots below.
Diletto Café (www.dilettocafe.com) has half a dozen cafés scattered throughout Bogota. My personal favorite is the Zona G branch on Calle 70 with Carrera 5. Authors Bookstore, an English-language bookstore with the largest selection of English language fiction and non-fiction titles is located right next door, convenient for those who want to read a book while they sip their cappuccino. Diletto’s in La Zona G has a nice outdoor patio and free Wi-Fi.
Juan Valdez (www.juanvaldez.com) is one of Colombia’s biggest coffee chains and is named after the mythical Juan Valdez himself. There are over a dozen branches in Bogota, my favorites being the Parque 93 and Museo del Oro locales. Here, coffee drinkers will find everything from plain old tinto to skim milk caramel frapaccinos topped with whip cream to iced mocha lattes. Juan Valdez only provides customers with a 30 minute Internet voucher card, so you might want to head somewhere else if you’d like to get some work done while enjoying a hot cup of coffee.
La Boheme (Calle 27 Carrera 5) is a tiny but cozy café in the trendy Macarena neighborhood and serves up some great milkshakes. It maybe small, but La Boheme delivers when it comes to ambience. The décor channels 1920s Paris and Milan and the staff are friendly and greet customers on a first name basis. There’s an internet café upstairs and free Wi-Fi for those with their own laptops.
Café del Sol (Calle 14 Carrera 3) One of my hands down favorites, Café del Sol is a popular meeting place for college students and professors. It offers a large variety of hot and cold coffee drinks and baked goods. Café del Sol has a tendency to play 1960s and 70s Latin pop, but its location in a beautifully renovated colonial-era house in La Candelaria more than makes up for this. Plus, the free Wi-Fi makes it a good work spot.
Café Estacion del Tren (Calle 14 Carrera 4) If you are seeking a truely unique café experience, Café Estacion del Tren has what you’re looking for. The café is housed in an old train cart and is a great spot to indulge in Bogota’s favorite afternoon snack: Chocolate Santafereano con queso y pan (hot chocolate with cheese and bread). The inside of the cart is decorated with black and white pictures of historic Bogota and the café fills up in the afternoons.

ALL THEATERSG.I. Joe El Origen de Cobra : if you want to see a fiction movie you could see G.I. Joe.. summary: The film opens in France, in 1641. The Scotsman Klan McCullen has been accused of selling weaponry to both the Scots and French. Rather than being executed for treason, the jury brands his face with a white-hot mask in order to humiliate him. In the near future, weapons expert James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) has created a nanotechnology-based weapon capable of destroying an entire city. His company MARS sells four warheads to NATO, and the U.S. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness (Sienna Miller), who Duke recognized to be his ex-fiancee Ana Lewis. Duke and Ripcord are rescued by Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). They take the warheads to The Pit, G.I. Joe's command center in North Africa, and upon arriving rendezvous with General Hawk (Dennis Quaid), the head of the G.I. Joe Team. Hawk takes command of the war-heads and excuses Duke and Ripcord, only to be convinced to have them join his group after Duke reveals that he knows the Baroness.
McCullen is revealed to be using the same nanotechnology to build an army of soldiers with the aid of the Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), planning on using the warheads to bring panic and bring about a new world order. Using a tracking device, McCullen locates the G.I. Joe base and sends Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) and the Baroness to retrieve the warheads with assistance from Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), inflicting casualties on several G.I. Joe soldiers. After a fight, Storm Shadow and the Baroness retrieve the warheads and take them to Baron DeCobray, the Baroness's husband, for him to weaponize and use them to destroy the Eiffel Tower to serve as a showing of the warhead's destructive power. Making their way to Paris, the Joes pursue them through the streets but are unsuccessful in stopping them from launching the missile. Duke manages to hit the kill switch, but in doing so he is captured and taken to McCullen's base under the Arctic.
G.I. Joe locates the secret base and fly there as McCullen loads three missiles with nano-mite warheads. After Snake Eyes takes out one, Ripcord pursues the remaining missiles in a prototype Night Raven jet while Scarlett and her group infiltrate the base. While Scarlett and Snake Eyes attempt to shut down the Arctic base, with Heavy Duty leading an attack on Cobra's forces, Duke learns that the Doctor is Rex Lewis, Ana's brother believed to have been killed on a mission led by Duke four years ago. He was trapped in a bunker with Doctor Mindbender (Kevin O'Connor), disfigured in the blast which everyone presumed had killed him. The Baroness tries to free Duke but the Doctor reveals he has implanted her with nano-mites which has put her under his control for the past four years, admitting his amazement that she is resisting the programming. Attempting to kill Duke, McCullen ends up being facially burned as he flees with Rex to an escape vessel. Duke and the Baroness pursue him while the Joes fall back when Rex activated the base's self destruct sequence.
Rex then heals McCullen's burned face with nano-mites, encasing it in silver as he christens McCullen "Destro" and assumes the identity of Cobra Commander before they are captured by G.I. Joe soon after. On board the supercarrier USS Flagg, Baroness is placed in protective custody until they can remove the nano-mites from her body. Meanwhile, Zartan, having been earlier operated on by Rex, infiltrates the White House during the missile crisis and assumes the identity of the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce).
