ohh la la my head is pounding

did not do much in the morning, just sort of relaxed. We walked up and found a grocery store and bought some fixens for lunch. Columbia seems to have nothing but deep fat friend stuff, no losing weight on this travel. I got a hold of Carolina and we were to meet her at her work around 3pm. I had the guy here at the hostel write down the address. We took off and tried to get a taxi, but the driver either could not read the writing or had no idea where the place was. We new the general direction so we started walking. I asked a guy on the street and he grabbed some one else and pretty soon we had a whole group of people trying to help us. The original guy got us into a cab and got us on our way. We seemed to drive in circles until i finally called Carolina and she talked to the cab driver. Aja said Carolina worked in TV, i figured she was an assistant to the director or something. She is the host of her on show called Teenagers. I think it is directed towards jr high and highschoolers except, Carolina is very pretty and her and her co host are dressed in little Catholic School girl outfits, plus some of the camera angles were a bit provocotive. The subject of the days show was the Spice Girls. there were some callers who where all dudes and by the fake flattered gestures on by Carolina and her co host, i think the audience is just dirty old men, or at least older than high shcoolers. When we got there Carolina was in a meeting so her friend Vicky showed us around the station. They tape some five or six shows along with the news. On of the Anchor Women was practicing her lines so we ran up and got our picture taken. After the tour we met Carolina and then sat and watched the taping of her show.It was quite fun to see from behind the scenes. She tapes one hour everyday, which i am sure must get old after a while, but it also looked like they all were having a lot of fun, especially during the commercials. after work she took us home, and we met up later on in the evening for Sushi in the happening part of town. A little park surrounded by tons of bars. We ate good sushi and then i drank way way too many Caprionos or Rum with sugar and lime. Now i feel like total poop. Today will be another day we see nothing but the inside of the hostel. I am not drinking tonight!!
