The last time I was here, Santa Fe mall had a life sized foosball table set up and I thought that was pretty awesome. This time around, they have an enormous inflatable place place that looks like a lot of fun. Naturally, security escorted me out of the building my first time down the slide, but it was worth it!
Just kidding...they wouldn't even let me on. I was surprised at how empty it was considering it was Saturday, especially the Saturday right after pay day. Perhaps I've never noticed this at home (and maybe because paydays differ for everyone), but every second Friday is like Christmas. Everyone is a high roller, smiles everywhere and living it up. Come to think of it, maybe today is the hangover day and everyone is avoiding the mall.
I've been here for almost a week now and have noticed many similarities in between my time in Medellin and high school. The awkward encounters with girls, mall ratting as an event and the excitement of payday. Of course, I don't remember a time in high school when I'd sit down for pizza for lunch and enjoy an ice cold beer.
I ordered a pizza Colombiana and it was pretty good. However, when I ordered it, it was all going smoothly until she asked me something about "delgado" and for a split second, I thought of former Blue Jay Jorge Delgado. That was enough to throw my focus off and I ended up just saying "si, gracias." She repeated "delgado or gruesa" asking thin or thick crust, to which I replied "delgado" and muttered "for the Blue Jays..." under my breath and giggled to myself. Yes, I'm in high school.
