–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Whatever you happen to think of that peculiar phenomenon, Reggaeton, I would argue that it´s done some good things for Colombia.

–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Being the social lubricant it has been for millenia, the communal imbibing of spirituous beverages can often be an effective way to make your first wavering steps into a new culture. Not only can a couple of responsible drinks let down your self-conscious barriers a little so that you […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Before I came to Colombia, I must admit that I didn’t know very much about the continent it was on. I had a vague image of a sultry, tropical land full of passionate people doing some kind of sexy dance while eating tacos in a country with a history […]
–> 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?

Although Colombia is, without a doubt, a country with an amazingly comprehensive, dynamic, and proud heritage of home-grown music; and while this music accounts for a significant chunk of the tunes you’ll hear and dance to here, every now and then, you’ll come across a song with English lyrics. There are some I wasn’t suprised […]
I’m not going to be afraid to show my biases in this post about the Estereo Picnic Festival that’s happening here in big, bad Bogota this Friday and Sunday. First of all, I’m biased towards good music, and so I think you better get yourself here to gorge yourself on the smorgasbord of said consumables […]
“….like….music, which is the nearest Hell, or the Devil, in music. It polutes the art of Music.” –> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– “If we value civilization, we cannot afford to ignore any longer the high correlation between the multibillion dollar… racket and the explosion of drug use and illicit sex among their teenage victims.” “…immoral, […]
Being Australian, on the 26th of January, I’m usually engaged in such patriotic activities as gambling, not working, and drinking litres of beer in the sun.
