–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– Sometimes I like to think that, after nearly a year in this beautiful country, I´ve gone pretty native. I´m pretty handy on the old chicken bus, (even if I do say so myself), I´ve started doing all the things in this list, and I can even make a pretty […]
–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– I like to think I´m a big fan of cartoons of all persuasions because of the deep philosophical implications of their themes and the surprising manner in which they delve into the contemporary weltanschauung.
