Colombian News

"We don't want S.O.P.A.!"
A pun on words:
Sopa translated from Spanish to English means soup.

As little as I keep up with the current events of my native country, it was of no surprise that I learned first about the SOPA and PIPA bills from my Colombian counterparts.  I was taken aback by the strong reactions and protests of my Colombian friends and quickly made a move to learn more the U.S. bill that would have an international impact.

I wanted to mention one such blog that I follow here to keep me up on Colombian News.  Mike Ceasar, founder of Bogota Bike Tours created his initial blog, Mike's Bogotá Bike Blog, to focus specifically on the political and social issues surrounding bicycling in Bogota.  A year later he began Mike's Bogota Blog in 2010 which serves as a more general commentary on various Colombian issues.  I use his blog as my main only source to keep on Bogotano/Colombian news.  And, it was in fact for Mr. Mike's lack of a commentary on the recent SOPA and PIPA bills that I did not learn about the bills on my own.

I'm waiting for Mike's post on these bills.  Until then, enjoy his other posts!

P.S.  I plan on going on one of Mike's tours in the coming months.  I will be sure to report back -- if I survive the streets of Bogotá ;)
