Winter II: My my my it's a beautiful world

there was a time, when south america existed in my mind as one big block - to be travelled in one go over a  period of six months or a year somehow. i mean, how often are you going to fly all the way from asia and that too if your grand plan in life is to work for non profit organizations till such time that you can join the ranks of the farming kind? and so, despite my all my complaining about how far the US is from the rest of the world, and how different from what i imagined i'd be doing with my life right now and how i have (almost) no friends close by - dear boy, i am ever so thankful that this is where we live for now.

and so Colombia: a land where coffee legends are created and the whimsical coexists quite naturally with the rest of the world. the once upon a time land of pablo escobar and gabriel garcia marqeuz. a land where time stands still and history is being lived everyday.
