Soft-touch Colombia

@radiobrendan I’ve written before about what could be seen as the absurdity of the ‘free world’ concept. There are many areas where it just doesn’t hold, but the one I previously focused on was in the global movement of people. Basically, anyone who has travelled to(...)

Time to SITP; but how?

@radiobrendan It’s now almost two years since Bogotá’s SITP (Sistema Integrado de Transporte Público, Integrated Public Transport System) buses started rolling out. Unlike Santiago de Chile, authorities here went for a gradual process of replacing the old private,(...)

I’m yelling Tinder

@wwaycorrigan As we all know, in this life there are the haves and the have nots, something that has been well documented in various ways on this blog.* In what could be seen as a microcosm of that on some levels, there are those who have a smartphone and those who do not. At(...)

@radiobrendan Right, I knew there existed in Colombia a tiny segment of support for, to say the least, a less than glorious period of German history and the accompanying beliefs associated with it. However, I wasn’t aware that love of the ‘Fatherland’ here is(...)

Colombia’s yellow shoots

@radiobrendan So the World Cup party rolls on and, thankfully, Colombia is very much still in the mix. These heady times that the country is going through, something mentioned on this blog a few weeks back, are not only continuing but also appear to be increasing in magnitude. Of(...)

Ley seca – Bogotá’s deprived spit back

@radiobrendan This blog tends to look out for the underprivileged. So when the ‘have nots’ strike a blow against the ‘haves’, especially in a place riven with inequality such as Colombia, it’s usually something to support. It’s not often that(...)

A lot done, more to do

@radiobrendan What a heady few days it’s been for Colombia. There’s what you might call a giddy excitement about the place. Most of that, unsurprisingly, is emanating from La Selección’s (national football team’s) rather impressive start to the World Cup.(...)
