finding drinkable wine in colombia is as hard as finding a toilet with a seat cover!
Everyone here is zoned, one through six, one being you don´t have any running water and survive on the protein of an egg a day and six being you have everything you need and a lot more. this one dude told me that 80 percent of people are in zone 1. it even says on your electric bills what zone you are in, and you are charged more for being in a higher zone. i guess it is pretty tricky to move yourself between these zones, or rather up in zone level, so that is pretty depressing, so i try to drink some wine, but it is pretty terrible...
Really, the wine here is fucking shit! They call it vino tinto for a reason, its freaking brown and tastes like pepsi. I would also like to add that boyfriend likes to use the coke dealers as spanish teachers. theres plenty of other people to speak spanish to, why we gottta rap with them? they stand on every street corner, especially the ones near our shithole zone 4 hostle,. If they ask you in english if you like their country its a dead giveaway. then they ask you if you have everything you need and tell you that they have anything you want. meanwhile, a couple of other dudes come over and the next thing you know, boyfriend is surrounded, but he doesnt care because he is still trying to speak spanish with the first guy, and you are imagining this is the point where boyfriend gets mugged, so you are pulling on his arm and telling him we should go, but he is ignoring you, and then a police guy on a bike rides up, so two of the guys dispurse, but the one guy keeps talking to boyfriend because he knows that the cops here don´t do shit but stand around with their big guns and look important. finally boyfriend notices girlfriend pulling on arm and telling him we should go back to our hostle, which is a complete shithole, since we moved from our nice zone 6 hostel that i found on the internet for 30 bucks a night, to a crappy one because we wanted to save 15 bucks, so it kinda sucks and you might get lice, but at least it is safe, and you can dip into it to escape the chaos on the streets.
