World Trip 2022

Startet my day, of course, with a delicious Flat White and went to the city center to participate in the Food Tour 🧀🫔🥟🍉🫓 - Cheese, Sugar, Cheese, Sugar. Colombians love their Queso and Azúcar and also combine both 😳.

In the afternoon I did the Comuna-13-Tour. Listed as a must-see in Colombia by countless travel guides on the internet. The Commune 13 de Medellín surprises for its history of resilience and social transformation, for the colors of impressive murals and graffiti by mostly local artists, and for a neighborhood life as genuine as the inhabitants who kindly welcome the people who come to visit it.
Although at first, it is unsuspected, it is enough to set foot in The Commune 13 to begin to be aware of the innumerable experiences and expressions that occur there: its guides are often people who inhabit the neighborhood and who are testimony of its history, young people rap and breakdance and an escalator in the middle of the place lead to one of the most impressive views of the city; its colors, buildings, and mountains.
Which sentence of our guide has remained in my memory above all: “It was normal at that times to push a corpse aside if you wanted to play soccer.” 🥺Weiterlesen
