I had the pleasure of working in Colombia for the better part of two years. Despite the political and economic problems that plague the country, I found the Colombians to be highly professional, intelligent, hard working and a boatload of fun to work with. And it's not just men at the top! Women occupy a surprising large number of high level positions in the government and in industry in a region where the "macho" ethic is very much alive. To top it all off, Colombia is also arguably one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. Nice to see you aknowledge what many of us know - Colombia ROCKS!
Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.
