Airport tax

I suppose it says a lot about the workings of a country when you get fined at the customs bringing a load of equipment to daonate to a project. In the end it was easier for us to pay an import tax on the equipment we brought in than get it impounded and try and fight our case through the embassy. The best part about the whole situation was after we opened our bags at customs all the girls working there grabbed hold of our bubble wrap and proceeded to pop it for the next half hour. It kept me amused whilst in the office trying to sort out the situation. At least everything arrrived, and we didn't have to pay for over weight baggage in the UK either. You win some you lose some.
We have only just arrived really but have already been out buying equipment that we need to set up the studio. Last night we met some people that we are going to work with. Their project sounds very interesting, they are running a schoool teaching media techniques in a communty centre in one of Bogota's poorest barrios. Their plan is to start working in other places and create a network by making radio programs and videos about the lives of the young people there and broadcasting them however they can.
We have already set several meetings with people interested in Fairtunes, all positive stuff. Looking forward to getting stuck in.
Take care
