Ha, nearly a year since I have posted something and I find this a good opportunity to start writing again. After a long, long trip, which started rediciously late/early back home in the south of germany, I have arrived last night here in Bogotá. Dianne - a friend from some time ago - was so nice to pick me up from the airport and drive me for a long long while throug the city, up the hills to her place... refreshed our memories on our time together in New York , but I was overwhelmed by the jetlag already at 9 pm. Had a pretty early sleep but and wide awake at 6 am.
Started to spend time here at the Javeriana from the morning, meeting the other guys and trying to get hold of that place. Its a nice and large campus with loads of decent facilities, including a large sports centre and a good library.
First discussion with the prof and the others which prooved to be a good reunion. They seem to be very well staffed and will provide us with some extra lectures during the summer, that should be good to get more ideas and information on the country, its conflict and our individual study interest.
Even better, the whole staff will watch the football together at the institution so there will be some ball aroud the Euro-Cup - NICE!
Bogotá as such is first of all huge huge huge. The distances seem to be incredible and the orientation still lacks main points to focus. However, very lively, busy and cold - jeap indeed, up here in the clowds, it is pretty chilly and the mountains are continiously covered in thick grey clowds, that seem to be charged with rain!
