As Colombian and blogger, I think this is so worth it to share with all of you! :)
Bloggers from different countries invited to be part of this 10 days-race around my country, to experience the real Colombia.
Very very good initiative!
Enjoy the YouTubevideo with subtitles in English, and read this entry blog (in Spanish)

a funny anecdote
Imagine... I am in Prague as the representative of the organization I am working on, for a meeting of one big project for people with disabilities in Europe.
And tonight we went out to the center of the city to have dinner, and in the street we met a bunch of AIESECers, asking us if we know something about an international organization called: AIESEC.. I was laughing and my colleagues didn't understand why?... well, they have to explain us what AIESEC was about and then we have to give them a video explaining what we understood.
Well.. I did the video, but I shout them first: HEY AIESEC!! and they got surprised! and replied Waaazzupp! (kinda internal AIESEC's code) hahaha...
then I jumped and I say that I was from AIESEC many years and they couldn't believe me that I was part of the AIESEC International team last year.. they know two of my colleagues of last year. They were Executive Board members from the Local Chapter of AIESEC in Prague, doing some promotional games.
I was sooooo happy of that moment... I felt the AIESECers energy back, I felt that strong connection that only the AIESECers for many generations will have... and also feel proud of this powerful and never ending network of smart people. I felt alive! :)
All my colleagues after that moment were asking me many things about AIESEC and I was so so happy to share with all of them some experiences of the best days of my life! :)
awww... I miss you so much AIESEC!

Principles of learning
I am back at school!
I started my classes of French language this week. However, I am having problems with mixing it with my Portuguese and of course, my Spanish. But I love French, I like how it sounds like, especially in music and movies.
Hope to be able to understand a bit more after this module.
I am training my brain to a new sequence of repetitions,
vocabulary, sounds, grammar rules, etc.
My principles for this new learning adventure,
écutez. listen
répétez. repeat
observez. observe
lisez. read
réspondez. respond
complétez. complete
reliez. link
cochez. select
écrivez. write
and my favorite phrase so far:
Encore une fois!
(one more time!)
{But, I must confess that I would prefer that my brain was a Mobile phone, therefore I would buy tons of SIM cards even with international roaming } :)
