Hey, I just read your whole blog! I'm moving to Bogotá in a month, I got a job there just yesterday and my mind is racing trying to settle with the idea of living in Colombia, although I believe my cultural contrasts won't be as big as yours - I'm from Brazil, south american thru and thru - I guess the year-round chilly weather will get to me.
