Radisson Royal Bogota Hotel

... darf und wann man mit ihnen telefoni**en darf. Die Kids dürfen nämlich nicht einfach mal zu Hause anrufen. Zu**st müssen sie einen Zettel schreiben und **klären, warum sie anrufen wollen. Dann wird das mit d** Psychologin besprochen und entschieden ob und wann telefoni**t wird. Warum es so komplizi**t ist, hab ich noch nicht ganz v**standen. Ich v**mute, die Elt**n sind oft recht arm, arbeiten viel und sind oft nicht zu Hause – od** int**essi**en sich einfach nicht für ihre Kind ...

... eager entrepreneurs trying to take our baggage to a taxi, and very well dressed gentleman encouraging us to change hotels, which I was warned about in advance.

Having had a look around we were seduced by one such entrepreneur who agreed to a taxi into Bogota for 15mil pesos (about $7.50USD).He bundled our luggage onto a trolley at lightning speed and took us to a waiting taxi, then requested his ...

Hola amigos queridos!<br> Greetings from Bogota, Colombia! I arrived yesterday morning around 5a.m. after three flights and about 16 hours of traveling (not bad really). My flights were fine, but I was fighting some illness and so, at times, it was unpleasant. (Nausea= loads of fun!) I took a taxi to my hostel and got a first glimpse of the deserted streets of Bogota. I was slightly shocked how quiet the streets were at 6a.m. but came to find out that yesterday was a bank ...

... English pubs and tramps covered in blood doze in doorways while mariachi dwarves wander past touting for customers. Every Sunday the main throughfare through the city is closed off so everyone can cycle down it and buy photocopied books and rubbery arepas from enterprising rolos. The historic centre, La Candelaria, is made up of streets of historical buildings guarded by AK47 toting adolescents, crumbling squatters dens and about 25 ...

... its been a hellevan experience. Hard to believe its been six months since I left home but then Ecuador, where I started the trip, seems a proverbial lifetime ago. Amazing. Seen so much natural and man-made wonders, so much thats good about the world and so much that´s not. Lots of things stand out - Cities - La Paz for the authentic South American feel, Buenos Aires for the party vibe, Rio for its sheer ...

... with a torrential downpour, "You see" says Luisa "even the gods are crying". Even at our safe distance from the city you can hear the relentless explosion of fireworks which continue at odd intervals for the next 2 days, I take respite in the fact that if Rosales won we might be listening to a different kind of explosion... The atmosphere is grim during my last few days in Caracas and I can't escape numerous fiery arguments in Caraqueno over what is ...

... They were often soggy, and never had many sauce options. There was one different type, which came in a kind of shortcrust pastry rather than a flaky pastry, which was good though. At every meal in Peru you have a good chance of being served soup before you start. Usually a vegetable broth with big lumps of potato. There is a local cereal called Quinoa in Peru, which they like to use in as many places as possible - in soup, in breakfast cereal, in the energy bars that you ...

... I have a lot of friends in this class) and Global Studies (This is the class everybody takes everyday. It is so far kinda interesting and kinda boring, but I get to watch the professor on TV because all 650 students cannot fit in the union.) We landed in Venezuela and had 4 days to capture everything we could about the country. The first day I took a city orientation, which was very touristy (which fits well into my class!) We learned a lot about Simon Bolivar, their ...
