Cultural Activities

Well, I've finally started taking classes here in Colombia. It's this great institution called Nueva Lengua specifically for foreigner's learning Spanish. The classes have 6 levels, Basic 1, Basic 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2,Advanced 1, and Advanced 2, and I believe I am in one of the Intermediate levels. The Standard class that I am taking is from 9AM to 12PM, then i eat lunch with friends from the school and either go home or do the cultural activity the school offers, if there is one that Day. There are also dance classes for free every Thursday.  I have only just started my second week but I have already gone to the Botanical Gardens near here, and had movie night, plus the dance class and some group lunches.

The Lights!

  I forgot to talk about the lights! The city Christmas lights here are amazing!!The buildings all sparkle and glow and have neon lights in the shapes on fairies, stars, swirls, ornaments, lizards, flowers, and i even saw a Nativity scene ( a 'pesebre' here) on the Metropolis mall. I couldn't get any good pictures of the amazing sights, but we did visit one place where we took pictures. Sorry for the bad quality, but i forgot my camera so these were taken with my aunt's Blackberry.

First Post!

  Well it has been a few weeks since i left the US so i guess it's time i started posting on this blog, right?  So, here goes.
