Discrimination

So yesterday I learned what it was like to be gay. Well... at least discriminated against as gay. The rest still remains a mystery.

Louardi and I were trying to find a taxi on our way back from work and we had crossed the street so we could get a cab going the right direction. One factor that we hadn't considered was that on this side of the street, we would be outside of a motel.

Now, a motel in Colombia is not the same as a motel in Canada. In Colombia, it is a place where lovers go to get away from their families and have some fun. It is NOT a place to sleep.

Anyways, it was about 2am and here we were, 2 men outside of a motel. We tried to flag down a cab and 8 empty taxis drove right by us. Eventually we realized what we looked like and decided to cross the street again to the original side. Now that we had distanced ourselves from the motel we tried to flag a cab again. The first empty cab stopped for us!

Anyways we had a good laugh.
