... the assination of the leader and presidential candidate in April 1948. A new palace was built on the north side of the Bolivar Square and destroyed again in November 1985 by the guerrilla movement during the "Palace of Justice Siege", while the army tried to take control of the building. The ruins of the building were kept untouched for four years until the government decided to demolish them and construct the new building that currently exists. <br><br>We ...

... Besitzer ziemlich faul sind und erst um 10 Uhr morgens oder später aufmachen.<br><br>Im Projekt ist alles ok=) Neulich hatten wir ne kleine Feier zu Amor y Amistad und ich hatte glücklicherweise grade da meinen Foto dabei. Ich fühl mich echt wohl da! Und wir sind auch viel draußen, vor allem wenn die Sonne scheint &#8211; was grade fast jeden Tag der Fall ist - und meine Arme und mein Gesicht sind schon total braun, nur der Rest leider ...

... Die andern sind dann alle vorher noch mal nach Hause, für Lena und mich hätte sich das aber nicht mehr gelohnt, also sind wir noch bisschen einkaufen gegangen! =)<br><br>Ich glaube Bogotá ist gar nicht so anders wie andere Großstädte, zumindest solange es hell ist (und leider wird's um halb 7 schon dunkel&#8230;). McDonalds, Dunkin Donots usw. gibt&#8217;s auch hier. Und das Tollste: Überall auf der Straße verkaufen sie DVDs! Klar, die sind auf Spanisch und raubkopiert und illegal ...

... and finally the toilet, where there was even toilet paper, but I'd gone prepared just in case. you'll be pleased to hear I'm not going to go into too much detail here, but suffice to say that had I been using a European toilet with a half flush mode, I would have had to use the full flush ........... <br><br>To my horror, when I tried the flush (no water saving devices here, just a straightforward pull) it didn't work and it didn't work ...

... evidence that the FARC receives funding from Hugo Chavez (which he has vehemently denied). And so it goes; hopefully the trajectory will continue and Colombia will be a safer place. Additonally, this progress will allow the government to focus on other pressing social and economic issues in the country that, one could argue, were at the root of the insurgencies in the first place. <br><br>Thoughts Upon Entering Colombia: Perception is not ...

... diversions, we decided instead to play Let´s Just Hop on a Bus and See Where We End Up. Given the vast dimensions of the city, this game could have easily been a real challenge, but luckily, Bogota´s street system is pretty easy to figure out, and, after a few turns and loops on the bus, we seemed to be heading in the right general direction. Amazingly, we made it right back to our neighborhood!<br><br>That night, we decided to go out to dinner near the hostel with a ...

... pistols, granades, shotguns and full size machine guns. It was prohibited to touch though... shame. This room was followed by one full of uniforms and plaques donated by all the police force of all the countries... even England was there! After that we went to the most interesting part of the museum, Pablo Escobar´s History. They started by showing us his Harley Davidson carved in gold, the amount it was valued at was ridiculous, cant even remember the amount of zeros ...

... mi peregrinación hacia la libertad. Ese era mi deseo y esperanza. El ensueño del viaje se apoderó de mí. El corte con la universidad se hizo más pronunciado: desinterés en las clases, ausencias, preparación de objetos de viaje. Mi interés ahora el morral, la cantimplora, la marmita, las mantas, la guitarra, la tula, el mapamundi, algunos efectos personales, y tres libros para llevar durante el viaje: La Cura por el Agua, de Yogui Ramacharaca, otro de Yogananda, y la Biblia ...

... hour was spent arguing over a price. Obviously we didn't want to pay him anything but we finally agreed on just over half. He wanted full price and wasn't happy. But now we had to pay for a bus transfer, and park entrance etc. Which over doubled the price we had anticipated to pay. After the two hours on the boat we had another hour by bus then another two hours walking barefoot in mud, then a further half hour to get to our camp. We left ...
