Estoy un blogger

Wow, reading all those comments after not checking my own blog in over a week has finally pushed me over the edge and converted me into a regular blogger. Thanks for the tips too people - I've updated the date on my previous post, and Roslyn your request has been accommodated too. Don't let the nomads scare you. (If only european civilization followed more of that advice in the past few thousand years...)

Anyway, right now I have to get back to work. I can think of a few choice Australian phrases to describe my feelings about aspects of my current task (which I will not elaborate on for want of being a decent and respectful guy), but expressing those same feelings in spanish is a bit more difficult for me. Probably for the best anyway.

Stay tuned!

And so it begins

I have my blog. And here I am editing my first post, albeit very very briefly. For in about 75 minutes I will be leaving the house of the family I have stayed with for my first two weeks in Colombia and going to my new apartment, which I will be sharing with a German and a Mexican, the place which will likely be my home for the next year. And I still have to pack.
