  table dancing
tiffany organized a chiva (traditional vehicle of the country side, now increasingly used as mad party buses) to compostela, a large club on the mountains overlooking Bogotá. All DreamTeam girls were there, and we took along the director for CEE of AIESEC International 07-08, our very own Ivancho, who had just come back from Egypt.
As per usual dancing to a great mix of everything the music scene of Colombia has on offer, and it took us exactly 20 seconds in our corner to take to the tables. It is the pure joy of moving, shouting, singing, talking while swinging back and forth to some vallenato, taking turns in the middle of the circle to some reggaeton that gets you there.

On another note, I will start a campaign about not asking someone who looks foreign if s/he speaks the language of the country. I am sick of hearing that question, by now I speak Spanish with Colombian accent. Now I know how the countless foreign looking people in Germany (and anywhere, but I know this happens a lot in my dear country of birth) must be feeling when they get that quite common and ignorant question in their home country.

Talking about a turn-off when that is the opening question to get me to dance with someone random... (i.e. not from the trusted circle of AIESEC guys)
 
Comments:

either you are getting less sharp in your old age, or i was too tired to make sense when we chatted...

How about Saturday? For some reason my comp isn't recognising input from microphones, so let's do msn. Ok?

Many hugs
