I met him during a visit to the Bolivar Square, downtown of Bogota, Colombia. He likes to teach people (specially foreigners) about the history of Bogota and Colombia. Of course, at the end of the "history class" he will gently ask his students for some "moneditas" (coins).

He recently became famous and the most important newspaper in Colombia (El Tiempo) wrote an article about him.
