- I arrived at the destination country alive.
- I did not encounter any transit/visa/document problems, considering I had to travel to two other countries before finally getting here.
- I did not have to pay for excess baggage fees or any other unwanted transactions.
- I work for one of the best universities in the country.
- I have the best jefe in the world!
- I spent Halloween with little children all dressed up in their tiny little costumes. Special thanks to Andres for dragging me out of bed and convincing me to wear pajamas and a gorro as my costume. No regrets!
- I live in a fantastic little community where there are small shops, parks and cute dogs around: not to mention Centro Comercial Santafe (one of the biggest malls in the city) being located just a calle away.
- I was impoverished beyond imaginable level in the last two weeks of the month.
- I had been really sick for some unexplainable reason.
- I was robbed. With a knife. During my first weekend. WELCOME TO COLOMBIA
- I had to wear really uncomfortable shoes for a month that kept my feet cold and sad.
- I had to be cellphone-less for a month. Longest I've gone without this handy dandy gadget.
But now that November has begun, things have been going on pretty well and smoothly. Thanks to Alejo (an alcoholic AIESECer), I now temporarily own a cellphone that allows me to go around the city without worrying about losing myself to creepy Latino men. Also, I am not that deprived anymore of material things that I could purchase with dinero! I hate sounding so superficial here but seriously. Whoever said that money cannot buy happiness probably lived in a cave.
