Apartment (Bogota). November 2021

My temporary HQ in Bogota was a small studio with a spacious living room, a bathroom and a bedroom with a glass window looking out to the mountains. The clouds touched the mountain-tops and the atmosphere was heavy and pleasurable.

I had a mall nearby and street food was plentiful, I paid $300 dollars for the entire month of November and was able to secure plenty of cooking ingredients at the supermarket down the street.

Building's waiting area.

As with most things that aren't yours, I had to share broadband with the entire floor and that meant slow download speeds. Perfect for checking e-mail and posting to social networks but terrible for heavy data transfers.

I was only issued two cooking pots and only one burner worked on the stove so I had fun being creative with my meals. I also broke the toilet seat cover so I had to replace it on my last day there.

There was no need for AC and I opened the windows every night before bed. I managed to watch 2 movies using my projector but for the most part I explored the city and tried new foods and worked on finding a permanent home. Most places have a door man or woman who might also assist you with other needs including directions and tips so it is a good idea to tip them well. I spent an entire month there so I left them some money during check out.
