La Alma de la Ciudad

Only one question matters to anybody who is travelling correctly: Where do I find the soul of the city - the main nerve? I´ve spent over two months in Medellin now, hounding this very inquiry. Its probably not in the top-rated Lonely Planet hostels - surrogate frat-houses dotting the...

Popayan: Carrying the Faith

Had I been feeling superstitious, I never would have gone in the first place. There was the dead guy, for starters. Dying, anyways, slumped against the meat display at the carneceria across the street from my apartment, hands clutching the hole in his gut which appeared minutes earlier...

City of Brick

Medellin, enchanted city, home of the silicon buttcheek, where no one remembers the natural light of stars and the sun has barely been named, where the paisas wear their souls on their skin and old men sing sad songs in the streets selling guanabana juice by the cup, where notices in the park...

Underbelly

Though not a noctournal city by any means, there is no such thing as a dull evening in Medellin. One needs not look far for free movie screenings, theatre productions, live music, art shows, dance shows, or just about any other form of cultural entertainment that can be placed on a showbill. ...

Colombia Loves Coldplay

It´s true. Everywhere you go you catch the tail end of ¨Yellow¨ or some melanchollie piano intro. Stepping off the Metro, enduring existential breakdowns in Exito. Even at the orchid garden when you arrive after sunset for the free ¨Happening¨ listed in the Fractal ´09 program, there´s...

Cyberpunk in El Jardin Botanico

I moved into my apartment on a rainy Thursday afternoon, a pretty fundamental affair cosidering that the entirety of my material belongs could easily be transported on the back of a large house cat. The complex looks like a prison from the outside and is inhabited mostly by students from the...
