First entry

This is the first entry of the blog.
I have no ambitions whatsoever regarding visits, not to mention "readers feedback". Any positive reaction is of course welcome.
I expect to stick to a few traditions, however.
In the Italian tradition, I will, from time to time, complain about Italy.
In the Colombian tradition, I will, from time to time, complain about Colombia.
In the PhD student tradition, posts will often deal with my frustrations.
In the Internet tradition, I will write mostly in English.

I expect to cover several topics, including but not limited to traveling, politics, football, (good) music, not boring aspects of research (if any).

This is the first comment. There is no such things as meaningful blog comments so I will just ramble along. Feel free to stop reading at any time.

Okay, you got this far. Then I'll tell you something: I look forward to handing out virtual "tudekiks" (a "tudekiks" is a cracker or biscuit that you hand to someone who is whining, this Danish word is the same in plural) whenever Jorge, or anyone else, puts on a serious "tudefjæs" (yes, you guessed it; it means "whining face").

Here are some links explaining the finer anatomy of these two lovely words:

That's it for now. "I'll be back" as the cool, cool, Arnold famously said.
