Corruption At It\’s Best!
We are in the last weeks of the Presidency of Juan Manuel Santos, and from an Expat point of view… Good Riddance!, not that the next will probably be any better.

It can only get better!
What a day! yesterday, I found that buses had been driving up our bank, because there are no kerbstones, they seem to think they have the right, so I put some rocks along the edge, cut back into the bank, so they were off the road, big enough that no vehicle would want to tryContinue reading “It can only get better!”
