Colombia seeks image boost
The restroom mirrors in an upmarket Italian restaurant in Bogotá deliver a blunt message: "You look horrible when you speak bad about Colombia."
It’s part of an effort by a private foundation to improve the image of a nation often linked to violence, drug trafficking and civil conflict. The foundation’s website says its efforts have "created a school of thought about a Colombia that exists but is often unseen — that capable … intelligent, hard-working, passionate, happy, curious, intelligent and competitive Colombia."
