I really like this place. Everything is so easy and uncomplicated. The weather is lazy, and the breaks are really long. Siesta is perfect. I get to actually cook and eat while looking at the mountains, and listening to the damn water and birds. I like that, when there’s a huge football game, everything is closed; work and classes are called off.
I hate coffee; but, here, I take 5 cups a day easy. Black. These people are so lucky they have really great coffee. And the fruits… Mangoes here taste a lot like the mangoes back home. I carry around a bottle of chili powder because, goddamn, Colombian food is not spicy or salty. I’ve been hanging out with a lot of my Bahraini friends. They’re cool. We make spicy dishes when the Colombians are sleeping.
I’ve been here about a week. I don’t want to leave. I’ve never been so stress-free.
