Answer 1

Thanks Isabelle (blue raven). My last chemistry course was in 1971 and it worries me that I have already forgotten a bunch of things but I'm quite happy to review and dust off my brains as well as meeting new friends in this course. I live in Ibague Colombia South America, and work at the University of Ibague. I'm happy to be here with all my classsmates.

Answer 2

Hi Carlos, my own last chemistry class was in 1977, so I can completely relate with the fuzzy brain! I bought an excellent and simple (but a bit older 1995) little book called "The Periodic Kingdom" by P.W. Atkins, it taught me more about basic chemistry than any class I took back then, and is very easy to read, I recommend it. You are In Columbia, wow, just a little bit South East of me here in British Columbia!!! hey we are both in Columbia then! ha ha ha... isn't cool to chat with people all over the world? I love it. I hope to one day visit South America, Machu Picchu, the Andes... Well, back to class, nice to talk to you! take care!

Answer 3

Hiya Isabelle!
I am in Colombia South América, not Columbia as in the states and whenever you want to come around you'll be very welcome. I haven't been to Machu Pichu yet, but I can tell you it's such a special place not only because of its beauty up there hidden in the mountains, but because it's magic and there's a lot of cosmic energy and mistery in its atmosphere.
