–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Being a gringo in Colombia can mean a lot of things. If you´re unlucky enough to be me, it can mean that you can feel a bit uncomfortable with your body sometimes. It can mean that you don´t really understand what all this arepa fuss is about. What it […]

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Bogotá, Junio (?) de 2008 / Bogotá, Febrero de 2013 Era 2008 y Proexport – la entidad encargada de promocionar Colombia fuera de Colombia – nos había invitado a los dueños de varias agencias de viajes extranjeras a un viaje de familiarización por el país. Yo venía de Buenos […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Ugh. So it’s just another long weekend here in Colombia. There sure are a ridiculous number of them in these here parts, and they start to lose their charm after about twenty of them, don’t you think? Are you kidding? We here at the almost purely imaginary See Colombia […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Is Colombia really the happiest place in the world? WIN-Gallup say it is, but we’d be interested to hear what you’d have to say on the matter. Ourselves? We’re not particularly sure what to make of it all, but even so, we reckon happiness is a distinct possibility here. Any […]
I love eating Colombian food. At home or at restaurants in Miami, it was always easy to find. For the last 10 years I’ve been living in Atlanta and it took some time to find some good Colombian restaurants. Most of the time here, when I’ve felt the urge, I would go to one close by and […]
Producing the best expression of a traditional dish is all about realising potential. How many times have you bitten into an arepa, and thought “I see what they’re trying to do here, but they didn’t quite get there?” That question was directed at you, Paul Fowler. I’ve often had the same feeling when it comes to […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I currently have a few weeks off and was very keen to go to Venezuela to find out what is actually happening in the country, as opposed to what I imagine are exaggerated news reports. Having already crossed the Colombia-Venezuela border in Cucuta, I decided to head north […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Alright, so I’ll admit it. Sometimes a bit of sweetness does sneak into an “Australian” main dish. What pork chop is complete without apple sauce (HINT: the answer starts with “not” and ends in “any…”)? You put a lamb roast on the table (next to the book) without mint […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I don’t want to sound like a disgusting pig (Hey! I”m just big stomach-boned), but I’ve a confession to make. I’m kind of in love with Colombian burgers. I don’t know what’s happened – I’ve never eaten so many burgers anywhere else. It seems like not a week goes […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Some, lazier, countries (here’s looking at you, Oz – c’mon admit it: “barbie” because “barbeque”‘s too long to say?) think the word “shop” refers only to a structure with a door, counter, register – all that kind of thing. For a Colombian, though, this concept can be interpreted much, […]
