I remember travelling to Sri Lanka some years ago and being told that no matter how poor people were, going hungry was very rare as the abundance of fruit the country had to offer ensured there was always something to eat.

Through no fault of its own, Cali has been a little neglected of late here at SCT. As a small way to begin to compensate this lack, here´s a blast from the past from my beloved compatriate, Sarah. Shake it, Cali. –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– 1. Salsa You cannot travel to Cali […]

–> 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 […]
