Adventures Abroad
by Dan Hurley
Columbia is a country that
leaps out at your senses like
one of the vultures who perch
on rooftops everywhere,
catching a rat for its evening
meal. Walking down the
street, you can hear people
wailing for their love to a
tropical beat over the radio,
bus horns, that play out a line
from a song when honked and
the endless cries of people
selling lottery tickets (a
separate lottery for each
state), newspapers, "cigaril
los Marlboro", and all kinds of
food. The smell of pineapple
or mango slices mingles with
that of fried cornmeal balls
bunuelos) and cheesebread
(pan de bono). There is also
the noise of traffic, for there
are five rush hours every
weekday- morning, lunch
hour, end of siesta, evening
and finally the mad rush of
people stepping out for the
evening or getting out of night
school... and everyone goes
out at night. In my
neighborhood there were two
open bars opposite each other
that were full every night of
slick, Latin lovers observing
the passing beauties. Colom

This is also a reminder to
Education majors, in addition
to any other interested folk,
that there will be an Education
Club meeting this Wed., Feb.
18, at 2:30 in the library's
Curriculum Materials Center.
We will be discussing some
exciting plans and projects for
the near future, so be sure to
attend.
bian women are famous for
their beauty, and they exploit
it to the fullest with bright red
lipstick and nail polish, heavy
eyeshadow, bare-midriff blou
ses, platform shoes, and all
sorts of headgear, even
turbans. The people are a
mixture of Indian and
Spanish, with blacks on the
Carribean coast and the
variety of faces this mingling
has produced is infinite. I
had ample opportunity to
observe them while crowded
on the bus (with people
literally hanging out doors and
on top of each other-no
Anglo-Saxon inhibitions about
touching here) and in the sole
whorehouse I entered, in
which all three races were
beautifully represented by
women bumming cigarettes
and drinks. I was attracted to a
certain black Bathsheba, but
the place reeked of the
ever-present Mafia tone of the
many North American imports
(like Colgate-Palmolive) and
my friends and I left.
The pace of life is busy, but
taken easily. Blanca, my
hostess, sold encyclopedias
for a living. After coming
home for lunch and siesta
every day she almost never
The Guilfordian
went out again, finding the
combination of tropical heat
and trying to sell simply too
exhaustive to be worth the
trouble or the extra money.
She and 1 arranged to go to a
concert one evening. That
afternoon I accompanied a
friend to the doctor's. The
doctor kept us waiting at least
an hour. Afraid of being late, I
took a bus home, which
snaked through the various
neighborhoods as the driver
dropped his friends off at their
doors. Blanca and I dashed out
of the house, .1 tying my tie
as I walked on the bus. We
arrived on time, but to no
avail-the concert started an
hour and a half late.
The people are friendly, but
their government is not. I was
hassled pointlessly by soldier
police (there's no division
between the two), especially
on the eve of the national
emergency declaration while
we were in Bogota, the
capital, two weeks after
emergencies had been de
clared in several states. Once
the emergency was in effect,
soldiers toting submachine
guns patrolled the streets in
groups of six, stopping
passerbys in the night, asking
for documents as vultures
watched patiently from the
rooftops.
