Big city Cali is the salsa capital of Colombia, so there I could continue that what I had started in Cuba: learning to twist and turn. In the hostal where I stayed I participated in the daily high impact salsa aerobic classes and took some private ...

For Cubans life isn’t always easy. Sometimes there isn’t enough food, there’s no money for soap, washing powder or new shoes. Most Cubans struggle to get by. The world is constantly changing and developing. Cubans see and hear about it, would ...

The return of Cat Woman

It had been raining quite a lot in the Masai Mara and the Game Reserve looked beautiful and green. The big migration had arrived. Thousands and thousands of wildebeest were grazing and looked well fed. For the big predators it meant a Mc Donald’s ...

Movie scenes

At times I look at what I’m doing as if I were an outsider and smile; it’s almost like scenes of a movie. For example I’m sitting squatted next to the wall of my prison-like room. In my right hand I’m holding a water boiler (dompelaar) into ...
