Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) -What are the frustrating things, if any, that you haven't mentioned? -What's your favorite dish you've tried thus far? -How many students do you have? How many different classes do you teach? What's your schedule like? -What're the best and worst experiences you've had interacting with others? -How much trouble have you had with the currency and exchange rate? Is it second nature now? -Is the way they handle I.D.s different than back home? Do they seem laid back as a culture toward alcohol? Are there any interesting things regarding the alcohol industry that you've noticed? (People I work with have been interested in your journey, so these questions are mostly for them, ha) -How about pot? Have a sense of what their culture's general opinion is? Have you been offered any? Other drugs? You don't have to answer all/any of these. Thanks for sharing with us, it's supremely cool.

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted May 12, 2016 -What are the frustrating things, if any, that you haven't mentioned? - People act so interested in being friends with you, but then they are nowhere to be found when you call or text. The drivers here are truly awful. If I wasn't such a naturally cautious person, I would probably be afraid to cross the streets. There are some people who think that just because I understand the first few sentences they say to me, I must be completely fluent. They get frustrated when I don't know a word or phrase. There are long lines for everything, and I really mean everything. this place must have the slowest cashiers on earth. That's about it for now though. -What's your favorite dish you've tried thus far? - Probably the bandeja paisa that I posted a picture of. I also love the fruits here. They are delicious, and you can do a lot with them. Colombian pizza is actually pretty good. I was surprised at how good it was when I first ate it. Today I had a soup that had about 5 different types of potatoes, 3 different types of meet, and some onions. It was great. The food here really isn't very creative. But for the most part it;s much healthier than back home. My body is thanking me for that right now. -How many students do you have? How many different classes do you teach? What's your schedule like? I'll answer this in more depth later because my schedule is about to change on Saturday. The classes last for one month. Then I get new students. The way it works here is students go through levels. 1 is absolute beginner, 12 is mastery. And there are also conversation classes independent of the levels. I've been teaching level 5 and level 8, as well as 2 conversation classes. The conversation classes are on Saturdays. The others are Monday-Friday. Each M-F class is 2 hours. So I'm teaching 4 hours a day 6 days a week for a total of 24 hours per week. They are paying me quite a salary by local standards for such a light workload. But of course I have to plan tests, grade quizzes/exams, etc. It's a real teaching job. You don't have to answer all/any of these. Thanks for sharing with us, it's supremely cool. I'll answer the rest maybe later or tomorrow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I was going to say something about how nobody has asked how the women are over there then I went back one page. Also it's good to see that CT exists with the Colombians. Haha. Edited May 13, 2016 by DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NaTaS+ 958 Posted June 25, 2016 Awesome pics, Matt. Now for a serious question: what have you noticed is the major difference between girls in the States butts compared to the Brazilian? My honest opinion is Brazilian chicks have the best asses in the known world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what happens when your drunk and on a few ambien. Nice catch! So Columbians have nice asses too, but I assume he's seen some Brazilians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted June 26, 2016 Not many Brazilians come around here. If I was in Bogotá or Medellín, I would see them much more often. But the city I live in is still considered off the beaten path for foreigners. I love it here. I've been here since April 5th, and I've only met 6 other Americans, 2 of which work at the same school I do. I do agree that Brazilians probably have the nicest asses I've seen. But I think overall Colombians are hotter because they have nicer faces while still having great bodies. Not to mention they are fun to talk to. Don't have me a girlfriend yet, but it'll happen soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 11, 2016 This song just came out recently. My friends here tell me it is "so Colombian." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted August 7, 2016 I had a fantastic first date with a Colombian chick. She's really pretty and smart. She's a music teacher here and she speaks English. We just clicked mentally right away. We had a blast dancing and shooting pool. I can't wait to see her again next weekend. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Welp it's all but official now. We banged tonight. It was honestly the best/most intense sex of my life. She treated my dick like it was a pogo stick, but she was also so tender and loving with me at the same time. I've had it one way or the other, but never at the same time. Starting to catch feels big time. So is she. She didn't really wanna leave my apartment but shes traveling tomorrow so she needs rest.
