 <\/p>\n

Well, we done warned you plenty. We told you Colombia was going to be\u00a0the\u00a0<\/em>place to be. Now it\u00b4s too late for you to be able to say (like we can – but, which still doesn\u00b4t make us hipsters, btw):<\/p>\n

\u00a8Oh yeah, going to Colombia? Ya – I did that before it was cool, brah.\u00a8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because now everybody and their dog is coming here. It doesn\u00b4t make it any less amazeballs, but it does show how the international tourist penny has finally dropped. You\u00b4re totes welcome, Colombia. Just all in a day\u00b4s work. But please, don\u00b4t believe me. Just look below…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Justin Bieber.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bloody<\/a>
Bloody Biebo\u00b4s beautiful Caribbean Villa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bloody Biebo, as he likes to be called, pretty much lives here now. I see him at \u00a0the local Exito buying hair gel all the time. I don\u00b4t really know why, as I live in Bogot\u00e1, and his house is in Cartagena; but, then again, I just made that up, so it\u00b4s not really too surprising. Legend has it that there\u00b4s a secret basement under Biebo\u00b4s Caribbean hideaway which stocks his extensive collection of Scandinavian Death Metal and his implements of torture. Biebo hangs out there with his neighbour, Mick Jagger<\/a>, with whom he discusses the geopolitical strategies of the late Roman Empire and \u00a8stuff.\u00a8<\/p>\n

Dennis Rodman.<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Worm, in the locker room before his game yesterday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Worm, as he\u00b4s affectionately known, is\u00a0probably\u00a0<\/em>still in Bogot\u00e1 today. After all, he appeared in \u00a0an exhibition match with a bunch of his old Chicago Bull buddies here only yesterday. No sightings of his best friend, North Korean Personality of The Year for This Year and All Remaining Years Til The Glorious End of Time, Kim Jong-Un. When asked about his feelings regarding his good friend being so far away in Colombia, Mr Kim was reported to say he felt \u00a8just a little lonely.\u00a8<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beyonce.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>
One of the most beautiful and famous families in the world. And Jay Zed. Photo from urbanislandz.com.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Beyonce will follow in the hallowed footsteps of other sexy divas Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Paul McCartney<\/a>, by making a pilgramage to the Most Innovative (and Sexiest) City\u00a0\u00a0in the World, Medell\u00edn<\/a>, where she will hold a concert in September, in front of 44, 000 slightly less attractive (probably) fans. No word as yet if her husband, Jay Zed, also world-famous for his stunningly good looks, will be in attendance, but somebody\u00b4s got to make sure that Blue Ivy behaves herself on Instagram. We\u00b4re all supremely confident that Mrs. Carter will like Medell\u00edn a lot. So much that she\u00b4ll put a ring on it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The XX.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A photo of the group. Ah! Damn you guys!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here, in a See Colombia Travel Exclusive, we can finally tell you the real name of this critically acclaimed bunch of Indie poms. We have it from a very reliable source that the name of this band is actually The XX. Damn those censors! They\u00b4ve gone and replaced the name with X\u00b4s again. Not happy, NSA! You hear that? Of course you do. No matter The (Name Censored) will be here in Bogot\u00e1 in October. Totes expect some hipsters <\/a>there, babes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One Direction.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>
One Direction, just a few years ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As far as we\u00b4re concerned, there\u00b4s only one direction for these pommie heart throbs. And it\u00b4s not down<\/em>. It\u00b4s Colombia. The hottest pre-pubescent sensation since the aforementioned Bloody Biebo, these lads will come to Bogot\u00e1 in April next year to perform their back-catalogue of carefully-crafted masterpieces, including their smash hit, \u00a8Oh Oh Baby Baby Love Baby,\u00a8 and their heartbreakingly beautiful ballad, \u00a8Baby Baby Oh Oh Love Baby,\u00a8 both from their album, Up All Night<\/em>, which is\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>about their controversial experiments with viagra. Probably<\/em> not.<\/p>\n
