Safe Arrival

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know I arrived ok and now I´m chilling at my host family´s house in Bogota. Her name is vicky and she´s super cool, very friendly and talkative (excellent for comprehension training). Today is Sunday so the city is dead and tomorrow is a holiday of some kind so classes start on Tuesday. I´m excited because I´m learning really fast and vicky told me that there´s huge demand for English teachers here. Apparently they negotiate contracts to fly them to colombia and provide housing and everything. I´m hoping the fact that I´m already here and fairly independent will strengthen my bargaining position.

Besides that I´m absolutely loving it, such a rich and interesting culture, so many things to explore and learn. I can already tell I´m going to have a lot of things to blog about.

Stay tuned!
