–> Colombia Dolar (TRM) <– We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Colombia is a country that lives through music. It’s hard to go anywhere without hearing the distinctive strains of salsa, cumbia, or vallenato blaring out at you. Buses, corner-shops and taxis become more like nightclubs, and the people have an […]

Time to throw the laptop out of the window (figuratively speaking of course) and party like it’s 1999.
