The November 9, 2010 is a date that the inhabitants of Bogotá will never forget. Many changed the nickname of Bogotá, the Athens of South America, the South American Venice. Doing a search on Twitter from 3pm until now, 1opm about terms like "transmilenio" "Bogota", "# tráficoBogotá", "# aquihaytrancón" and of course the classic "# bobolitro", you get dozens of recent comments in which is read from, people ranting mass transit system in the capital, to which remind the mayor María Eugenia.

As someone wisely said ElEspectador.com, do you, dear reader (or mayor), is Imagine a subway under these deplorable conditions? At least we have a preview of what will happen when, someday, be completed to build the happy underground station of the National Museum. In any case, we have a collection of related tweets, to be entertained by reading and we'll print more.
Today the city broke records. The traffic police joined the circus of mobility in Bogota. But I do not mean in the sense of the term burlesque. I say, not only because agents had to juggle green and miracles for the advanced medium cars, but also because there was, as always, tightrope in platforms and crosswalk to avoid getting wet, and all kinds of animals at the wheel. In Transmilenio portal Usme closed by flooding. Cici Aqua Park could well relocate to Caracas Avenue between Calle 6 sur 13 or the neighborhood and Waters, whose name today seems a bad joke. Even the jet Quevedo outgrew her name for such a flow that came down from the mountains.
On a day like today is when the citizens can (do not know if they should, judge yourself) remove chest and say without a doubt a single syllable Venice are the new, bigger, and incredibly cool 2600 meters above the level the sea. " To continue and even we compare with the Italian city, but we can catch up with the Dutch coast, that for millennia has struggled against the ingress of water to their cities. Although technically we would get to a low level. Very low. But it would be a new opportunity for another big move in the economy of the city. Imagine it.
would open dozens of bids, proposing the monumental works of classical bobolitro: dams in the hills east and south of the city, perhaps a wall that separates us more physically Bosa, so that no problems to join us surrounding municipalities. Construction would be proposed "Water System Monserrate for Emergencies in the rainy season, SAMUEL, which could take advantage of negligible flow of the stream of environmental axis in the neighborhood of Las Aguas (what an irony, "or coincidence?), Which becomes River with the slightest drizzle . Better yet, the district would boost the construction of natural water parks. They would obtain their resources from the rain and save on services. From Monserrate or the way to the lime would be equally plausible that we would see the day by offering powerful hydroelectric power at low cost the city and Cundinamarca.
Finally, the possibilities are endless. And of course, taking already at hand the best group of contractors in the district, a favorite of Sami: the Nule. Do not be alarmed sir reader, there must be fairness, not cancel the other options, even knowing beforehand that they have slices ready to offer you can. Is that if New York is the Big Apple, why Bogotá can not be the great ponqué of recruitment. Slice "Venti" pa 'around the world.
