I will probably use this in my Intro to International Studies course.

I keep getting so many course sources through you.

señor oso
mucho gusto en verle en persona, en cuanto a publicar… no se trata de tener el tiempo, se trata de sacarlo, sabe, todo tenemos tiempo libre, pero pocos lo usamos en lo que realmente nos gusta.
Genial un mundo sin fronteras, pero la humanidad tendría que superar demasiadas cosas previamente…
éxitos y bienvenido nuevamente a Medellín.

Funny, I was going to ask you and the Otra Banda crew if there are any movies about Medellín that don’t portray it like Rosario Tijeras and the La Sierra documentary. Apparently not.

So true! talking bad about one’s country is like dissing arepas in front of paisas it´s like a crime to admit what everyone has on their minds but no one dares say.

However, in Colombia pornomisery is SO popular that it is almost WRONG to make a movie or write a story that has NOTHING to do with the problems faced here. If I wrote about a girl in the search of the perfect apartment and a purpose in life, it would be criminal if the girl wasn´t a cripple from a landmine or victim of violence or a teen prostitute. Any other country without the burden of representation and you get Avenue Q.
