Would a Cartel have an Xbox 360 for Sale?

“Let’s find us a drug lord and see if he has an Xbox 360 for sale.” I suggest to Jaime over some excellent coffee in a very European café in Bogata. This elicited an explosion of Spanish laced with words like “estupida”, “insano”, hijo loco-de-a-perra”, and something that translates loosely as “you have meatballs for brains”. The truth is Bogata seems to me to be just a really big city like any other big city in Latin America with skyscrapers popping up around colonial mansions interspersed with mud walled apartments all brightly alive in the rich brazen colors so loved by the Latins. The Andes make a splendid backdrop to another pretty but otherwise too tame venue for my taste.
