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 Botanical Gardens were amazing, the plant life was very different from what you see in Virginia.

And just today we went to La Calera, just outside of the city for lunch. I've already had this kind of food before but it is still delicious and really fun with people from Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Brazil, and so on.
