... England, Anna aus Californien, Monica aus Schweden und Veronica aus der Schweiz. Und ein Junge, Johannes (aus Stuttgart!) ist schon seit nem halben Jahr hier, war aber irgendwie bei seinem eigenen Camp krank und deswegen bei uns. Er und Anna wohnen am nächsten von mir aus. Anna ist voll nett und wir verstehn uns echt gut und werden wohl ab und zu was zusammen machen, z.B. ins Kino gehn oder so=) Meine Gastfamilie wohnt echt ganz am Rand von Bogotá, aber hier in der Nähe ist auch ...

Sure enough the salsa boys woke us up, at 6am. Fortunately we had had quite a good sleep by then. We had breakfast and were about to head out for the day when the hostel unexpectedly offered us another room. This room was actually on its own, next to where we were staying but had its own door entry, kitchen, fridge, working stove, and dining area. Above us was a small attic with a bedroom that the kids loved. Our bedroom had its own TV with numerous fox channels that gave ...

... my stomach was really giving me gyp ), and ended up the day in a proper English style pub.

After our epic eating day, and being joined by Maja´s mum, we decided to do some proper sightseeing, the things you have to see in Bogotá is the Gold museum. A great collection of gold from the olden days, beginning to understand why the Spanish were shocked by the amount of gold they saw here. Another thing you have to do is Montserrat, which is a little church on the top of a ...

... betoveren mij en verleiden mij in haar richting te komen. Het is ikzelf die probeert te denken dat er een reden of een doel is. Maar ik weet reeds lange tijd dat mijn doelen en dromen net zo beneveld zijn als ikzelf. Misschien is het wel de versmelting van innerlijke en uiterlijke werelden die mij zo eenvoudig weten te verleiden. Als een salamander vertoef ik graag tussen werelden. Wat is er wonderbaarlijker dan het je ogen ...

... unos pocos bodegas, y fuemos a Bolivia... Boliva Pias segundo. Comencemos en Tupiza, y Zac se infermó. Me esperé por Birte por unos pocos dias, y fuemos a Salar de Uyuni... Yo vomité sobre me, pero despues dos dias, no problemas y desfruté la Salar, pero infermé antes Potosi, y luchó con el bus. Gracias a Zac y Birte para su ayudar! Las minas de Potosi abierto mis ojos, y cambio mi perspectivo (y dinamita fue divertida!) Nos econtremos The Aussies, y viajemos con ...

... to watch a protest of displaced farmers that have been forced into the city by the government. Right now in Columbia there is a conflict between the government and rebel groups and I believe the government is displacing farmers from there lands in feeble attempts to battle these rebel groups. Seeing the protest makes me want to look into the conflict a bit more. We ended the day back here in this mediocre hostel (thats being generous). Justine and ...

... are so proud of this artist. His work is basically based on fat people, objects, animals, etc. Its really cool, not only his paintings but his sculptures aswell... did you know there is a massive bronze sculpture of a fat women in the middle of every main plaza in almost all the capitals of the world? Well anyway, after having a lot of fun looking at fat people, fat fruits, fat guitars, fat mona lisa and fat horses... we headed to the Police Museum. Since the moment we arrived ...

... de las clases en la universidad. Ahora corría el primer trimestre de 1971. Ser autodidacta me parecía mejor que estar manipulado por convencionalismos. Despreciaba los títulos, los exámenes con calificaciones, los rangos. Me decía yo: -¿por qué he de llamar presidente a un hombre como yo? ¡que resuelva él! ¡yo escogeré lo mío!. Acaso, pensaba yo, ¿no se trataba de la supervivencia del más fuerte? Y la sociedad, ¿no se había formado de hombres? yo podía también formar la ...

... it. Picture the movie The Perfect Storm, I'm not exaggerating, it was like that except we were in a little tub boat. We were beside cliffs the whole time and the water was crashing against them with such force there was nowhere to stop. At one point a wave came into the boat so hard I lost my grip and nearly went over the side. Finally we saw some sand, we all started screaming at the guy to go to it. But he was like if I stop there you'll ...
