So, Suegra Gloria and Tio Julian are looking for jobs so as to stop draining the life out of me, at least financially. This being Colombia, and them being them, obviously this process is taking quite a while. More on this later, just a quick story to start us off.
So last week Julian has a job interview, and as everyday Madeleyne asks me where said place is and how to get there (much more on this later). They give me the address. Carrera 70, Calle 45-56. The city is a grid, carreras run one way, calles the other. Very easy. So I tell them were it is, suggest that the metro is easier to get there than taking my car out again. They go there. It's not there. It is in way far from there, like 90 blocks. I gave them bad directions. No, really I didn't. The actual address is Calle 45 SOUTH.
They don't understand, they insist they have the address correct without the south. Which is of course impossible. We all live in the south, all of the streets here are SOUTH. The place was real near here, they went all the way downtown. They still don't get it and think I screwed up.
