Some photos of Medillin

I finally stopped being depressed
about not being in Colombia and
uploaded a few photos of my last
trip.

Please look at IMG_0001 and see
if you can tell me what these
objects are. It's been bugging
me for a while and I forgot to
ask in Colombia.

Miles y miles de fotos de Colombia, Brasil y Venezuela

While cruising the net I came upon the following site
containing many photos of very interesting places.

La hormiga culona de Santander

Una broma imprimió en el periódico de Vanguardia de Bucaramanga.


La hormiga culona, famosa en el mundo fue descubierta en Santander
por los caciques de la tribu Guane, Chachóm y Tamarkara, quienes
la degustaron por primera vez. Hoy publicamos del escritor famoss
Félix Villabona Ordoñez su elogio a tan especial plato:

Era un dia de venta de culonas aqui en Bucaramanga.
Y ese dia una famosa y célebre matrona llegó donde

Some like it hot

Okay, here’s another food observation.

I’ve known for about three years or so that most people
in South America (Ecuador, Peru, Colombia etc..) do not
appreciate spicy foods.
I’ve told many of my friends this every time I come back from abroad.
I’m in Texas and the people here still don’t understand.
Almost everyone here expects Latin American people to have
a love of comida picante where ever they live.

So… ...

Pizza

Okay, here’s an observation about pizza in Colombia.

One day I was walking down the street close to Avenida 33
and Calle 56 in Bucaramanga.
On one corner their happened to be three vendors in a neat
row selling pizza from very nice stainless steel carts.
From previous experience in Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru,
I could guess with some certainty of the style of the pizza being sold.
My personal peference is for American style pizza.

Manizales Cost of Accomodations and Lessons

Hello everyone,

While cruising the information super-highway I stumbled upon a website maintained
by a couple in Manizales. A Dutchman and his Colombiana spouse are offering me
a package for Spanish lessons. I will be staying in a home with teachers
from a local high school and university.

He’s very vague on location, itemized list of costs, and the type and duration of lessons I will be engaged in.
His only explanation is that this pa ...

Okay here we go!!

I’ve followed this site off and on for approximately a year.
I’m glad that the quality of the postings have improved. (You must admit there was a time when that wasn’t true.)
Many postings are a wealth of information and a true sense of community is conveyed by the core posters.
These improvements have prompted me to finally de-cloak from lurk mode and seek advice.
