Aguablanca

This article, by the British novelist and essayist Martin Amis, appeared in the London Times a couple of years ago.

It may be of interest to the contributors (and readers) of the recent 'Worst Barrios in Cali' thread.

As i said in an earlier thread...Aguablanca has changed over the past few years....but you will still find it difficult to get a Taxi to take you there....still dangerous,but improving...

barrios are one thing, for example I live in a very posh barrio but my house is as dodgy as hell, people run past with police escorts but still find themselves chained to the walls at 4 in the morning, also I've got loads of police uniforms that will fit all shapes if anyones interested.

Truncheons to fit all as well I suppose?
