... a solid plastic collapsible baton like the police carry. I chose the baton. It is small and I can keep in my sleeve when I walk around alone. I figure I could at least even up the odds. That night guess what? Another robbery. # 4. 2 guys with machetes took a guys money 2 streets over.
The next morning one of my roommates fell in the bathroom and pulled the sink down with her. It shattered and cut her up. So, I spent part of the morning cleaning her up and ...
... man sollte sie nicht kaufen usw. ABER sie sind spottbillig (eine kostet 2000 Pesos, das sind ca 70 ct) und es gibt wirklich aktuelle Filme! Wie z.B. Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button. Lena und ich hätten uns gleich Twilight gekauft, wenn wir nicht danach noch in die Disko gegangen wären. Schließlich ist das auch ne gute Gelegenheit Spanisch zu lernen, wenn man den deutschen Film quasi auswendig kann! :D
Ich hab dann noch meinen Gastbruder Wveimar angerufen, der auch ...
... told that the so called ´social cleansing´still goes on, but again I didn´t experience it fortunately.
To a tourist Bogota is just like any other city by day, but after dark the deserted streets of the Candelaria and the increase in police and military presence in the main streets perhaps indicates something sinister?
You can easily kill a few days here but I only have 3 and today is my last, with a few things still to see.
... blonde tourist. Overal zwervers die je uiteraard allemaal om geld vragen. Ik ben overal maar stug doorgelopen, in de hoop dat ik snel iets zou herkennen.
Vlakbij het hostel (maar dat wist ik op dat moment nog niet) werd ik voor de zoveelste keer aangesproken door een zwerver en toen ik negatief antwoorde kwam hij met grote stappen op me af en pakte mijn trui bij mijn boord vast en riep dat ie plata (geld) wilde. In een reactie pakte ik hem op dezelfde manier vast en keek ...
... be a bitter-sweet event, though, as i will be giving up my way of life that i have adapted to and grown accustomed to over the previous 7+ months. Things like sharing a room with complete strangers, eating food i can't pronounce or ingredients i am not quite sure of, watching terrible old US films in Spanish on the long-haul buses (a recurring one is Commando, with Arnold... seen it now 4 times on 4 different buses... gets better every time) or ...
Bogota, Colombia briancordova... motorcycles - about 5 blocks by 3 blocks big its got every kind of store for motorcycle accessories, parts, mechanics even specialized moto-wash, like a car wash but specializing in knowing how to clean motorcycles. In Columbia, motorcyclists must conform to a lot of laws. Not only do they have to wear a helmet, the helmet must have their license plate number on it and they must wear a bright orange or yellow vest with the license ...
Bogota, Colombia courtrand... we were with who he said he liked 'because she has a big nose'. This in the same breath as telling me he was engaged. My tagine really did go down well and the mother even hugged me for making it! Fabian, the other surfer managed to leave on good terms and all has been ok. I've been getting on great with my hosts and I would love to stay but at the same time I feel that I would be wearing out my welcome if I was here much longer.
Bogota, Colombia phil.aldridge... got there we realized we were the only ones. Not knowing where the deep bit was we both stood on the edge of the waterfall for an hour calling each other chickens and suggesting the other go first. After an hour we both decided it was too risky and we were going to leave. As we headed out to the main road we stopped at a little hut with a couple teenagers and two old men drinking some sort of homemade alcohol. We stopped and asked ...
Bogota, Colombia linseypaddock... comcontactus@destinonomad a.com Reserve now:
... hatte ich noch nicht hint** mir. Ich bekam so starke Halsschm**zen, dass ich nicht ein mal mehr reden konnte. Vom Schlucken ganz zu schweigen. Es war schrecklich. Ab** dank Antibiotika und Schm**ztabletten ueb**lebte ich das ganze und **freue mich nun ueb** vollendete Gesundheit... Wurde ja auch Zeit. Die **sten Tage in Bogotá v**brachte ich also hauptsaechlich damit mich auszuruhen und gesund zu w**den. Doch dann gings langsam b**gauf und ich konnte die ...
