Traveling through South America gives you an interesting exploration of many different cultures, histories, and languages. Having visited and lived in multiple countries across the continent, I've come to appreciate the distinct variations not just in accents, but also in everyday language, as influenced by the region's colonial past, European immigration, and indigenous cultures.

Nov 28th, Thanksgiving, here at Kal Tire we had a thanksgiving lunch - the company signed a very big contract with a multinational mining company. So everyone here went to a restaurant for lunch. It was very nice, a big fancy restaurant called Las Vegas.
Then one day when I was riding the bus to work another man gets on and instead of sitting down he stood at the front and started preaching to the riders on the bus.

Wednesday the 13th - This week I actually found a band. A live band playing music at a party. It was probably someone's birthday party, maybe anniversary, I don't know, it was just one family apparently. But they had a band playing a style of music called Vallanato. This is the first live band I have come across in this city. One thing I miss here is live music. Barranquilla has virtually no live music, very few bands, no street musicians.

Bringing you up to date - my finger that was cut up in the fan is healing with only a couple minor scars that I expect will be gone in the not too distant future. The finger nail is generally ok, I still have it, but there is one ugle area that is right by the quick. I expect that as the nail grows out over time that bit will eventually make it to the end and be clipped away.
About the apartment situation - I have a line on a possible house sitting opportunity. I hope, I hope, I hope that this works out. That would mean no rent.

Hi, it's been a quiet two weeks since my last update. Last week was a school vacation week. I have only 3 lessons last week. My students were either travelling for business or taking a vacation week with their families. This next week should be back on track with a regular schedule.
