Climbing El Peñol de Guatapé

For the 700 stair climb, I wanted to arrive early and be among the first to climb up before all the tour buses started arriving from Medellín and bring hundreds of people to crowd the stairs. I woke up at 6:30 and got ready with my ankle brace. I tried to order an Uber about 5 times but no drivers were accepting the ride even when I added more money to the fare. It was 7:15am when I started placing my Uber orders and by 8:15am I still had nothing. Defeated, I walked down to the Guatapé bus terminal and hoped to get on a bus heading that way, and luckily a collectivo truck similar to the ones I’d ridden in Chiang Mai was heading that way so I jumped in the back. 3000 pesos later I was dropped off at a gas station at the base of the hill faced with either a climb up some stairs and then up a hill, or taking an expensive tuk tuk to the top. Since it was not that hot, I opted to walk and it was a nice scenic walk to warm up for the real climb. I sat to eat my pastry and have a short rest before buying my ticket and beginning the climb. There were only a handful of people climbing at the same time as me so the timing of my visit was perfect to avoid the masses. It wasn’t too difficult either, my ankle behaved and there were nice viewpoints and stops on the way up to take in the scenery, catch my breath, and enjoy a cool breeze. At the top I had a treat of a little tub of coconut arequipe ice cream and seat in the shade to rest. There were some convenient souvenir shops too with much cheaper prices than in Medellín or Guatapé funnily enough so I got a few little things before the walk back down the staircases. The descent took much longer than the ascent and was more painful, especially after resting which is usually the way it goes. The stairs were placed uneven heights and distances, and the handrail was there only 80% of the time to help me but I made it! At the base I wanted to take some photos of the Guatapé signs around the place but found they were all being guarded by aggressive restaurant hosts who demand a purchase to take a photo. Tourist trap! I wasn’t sure how to get back to the main town of Guatapé so I figured I’d have to walk back down to that gas station and try to flag down a passing bus but luckily at the bottom one of the motochiva drivers offered me a ride for 12,000 pesos which was about the price of the Uber estimates in the morning so I accepted gladly. He dropped me off near the Parque Principal de Guatapé where there was a line of waiting motochivas ready to drive to the rock and back probably. I walked around the Calle del Recuerdo and Plazoleta de los Zócalos before stopping at Café La Vina for my lunch of a caramel frappe and smoothie bowl that was probably the best of the trip so far. After sitting for a longer time I realised that I really needed to rest my ankle after all the climbing so I headed back to the room to lie down for a few hours. Once I was feeling better I walked up the road to a viewpoint for a quick look then walked into the town centre again which was in full festive swing with a market going on, music, and street food stalls. I grabbed some more baked goods from Panadería Orquipan as well as a couple of filled buñeulos, picked up a limon coco drink and went back to the hotel for Netflix. Definitely misread the amount of calories on the drink but I had earned it!

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

          Kanaphan Tsukiko, a 24 year old son of Konohanasakuya-hime.           He is a nurse at Asclepius General.

FC NAME/GROUP: Kanaphan Puitrakul (First) / Actor CHARACTER NAME: Kanaphan Tsukiko AGE/DATE OF BIRTH: 3 September 1999, 24 PLACE OF BIRTH: Bangkok, Thailand OCCUPATION: Nurse (cardiac cares specialization) at Asclepius General HEIGHT: 178cm / 5’10’’ WEIGHT: 66kg / 145lbs DEFINING FEATURES:

Tsukiko is constantly followed by the perfume of cherry blossoms. The intensity of the scent can change depending on his emotions.

Piercings: left lobe, right daith.

Left tattoos: cherry blossoms behind his ear and on his hand (https://www.pinterest.ch/pin/421931058855818972/ & https://www.pinterest.ch/pin/421931058855818976/).

Right tattoo: interweaved sun and moon on a dark blue and yellow watercolor background inside his right wrist (https://www.pinterest.ch/pin/421931058855819268/).

PERSONALITY: Tsukiko is a calm person. Being the least favorite child of his father, he is used to being discreet and not make waves, preferring to stay in his little corner than mixing with others and their drama. He is gentle, nice and empathetic. Smart, skillful and patient in his job, he’s often very appreciated by his colleagues and patients.

Thanks to Sundrop, he learnt to open to others and truly enjoy life. He’s a good listener, always helpful and respectful. Due to his powers, he feels a deep connection to nature. He loves spending time outside, on his own or with friends when possible.

Unfortunately, his relationship with the doctor killed something within it. Tsukiko is now even more reserved, avoiding others as much as he can. He’s scared of love, thinking he’s not worthy of it and that all he deserves is blows and insults.

HISTORY: TW for abusive relationship and domestic violence, mentions of suicidal thoughts and dubious consent.

Tsukiko’s mother gave him life, a name and the scent of cherry blossoms before disappearing with a last cuddle. His father quickly put that episode of his life behind him, never speaking of it anymore. He loved his son but not enough to allow him to learn more about his mom and her culture or letting him talk about her and his divine identity.

The man soon married and went to have two more children, a boy and a girl. They went along with their older brother pretty well but though Tsukiko had everything he needed, it soon was more than evident that his dad preferred his other children. The young boy tried not to let it affect him too much, too busy learning the powers he had recently discovered.

When Tsukiko was twelve, his family moved to Chiang Mai, his stepmother’s birth city. He didn’t mind the change of scenery, especially not after meeting a boy of his age, Sundrop, who soon became his best friend. The two of them  were always together, exploring the city and the close countryside, spending countless sleepovers at Sundrop’s house. Their bond only deepened when they realized they both were children of goddesses.

The two friends peacefully grew together and so did their feelings. Nothing was said but first kisses and touches were secretly exchanged, until Tsukiko’s siblings found them and ran to tell their father. The teenagers were separated, an eighteen years old Tsukiko was sent to the USA for his nursing studies and contact was lost.

The nightmare started a few years later with a fairytale cliché, the young nurse Tsukiko falling for the handsome, talented and popular older doctor. Everything started well, the doctor covering him with gifts and flowers, bringing him to the most expensive hotels and restaurants before moving him into his luxurious apartment.

Tsukiko naively thought that the first slap was an accident. After all, he had contradicted the doctor and in front of a patient no less. It was forgiven with what he took for sincere apologies and a bunch of roses. But then it never stopped, blows falling on him for the silliest reasons. He forgot to close the toothpaste tube or food was served five minutes too late or he didn’t perform well enough in bed. There was no excuses anymore, only anger, humiliation  and degradation.

As his sweet scent of cherry blossoms declined with his health, Tsukiko could smell the perfume of others onto the doctor, the cheating adding to the pain her already felt in his mind and body. After a particularly violent night, as he laid on the bathroom floor and considered that death might be better than this life, he was surrounded by a strong scent of cherry blossoms and petals flew around him before settling down, spelling the words ��Mount Phoenix’ and a map. His mother had been watching over him, finally stepping in to help.

A few days later, he was finally able to escape, taking with him all the money he could find in the apartment and the jewels he could sell. The time his absence was noticed, Tsukiko was on a plane to South Korea and soon crossed the bridge to his new life, leaving no trace behind.

PANTHEON: Japanese CHILD OF: Konohanasakuya-hime, Goddess of Volcanoes and Cherry Blossoms POWERS:

Can grow and manipulate cherry blossom trees and blossoms.

Impervious to burns.

STRENGTHS:

Patient and caring.

Empathetic.

Resilient but he doesn’t realize it yet.

Very loyal when he knows he can trust someone.

Hard-working, he loves his job and excels at it.

He can make a delicious cherry blossoms jelly spread.

WEAKNESSES:

Very low self-esteem and self-confidence.

Paranoid, he’s convinced that his abuser will find him again.

Scared of intimacy.

He’s afraid of loud noises and people raising their voices.

Roaming No More: How eSIM is Changing the Way We Travel in Asia

Traveling in Asia is an incredible experience, from exploring the vibrant streets of Bangkok to visiting the ancient temples of Kyoto. But one thing that can quickly dampen the excitement of your trip is the dreaded roaming charges and unreliable connectivity. Fortunately, with the rise of eSIM technology, travelers are now able to roam seamlessly across Asia without the worry of excessive fees or the hassle of swapping physical SIM cards.

Let’s dive into how eSIM is transforming the travel experience in Asia and why it's the future of international connectivity.

1. Say Goodbye to Roaming Fees

Roaming charges can accumulate quickly when traveling abroad, especially in a vast and diverse continent like Asia. Traditional SIM cards often incur hefty fees for data usage, calls, and texts, making it an expensive option for staying connected. However, with MTALK eSIM for Asia travel, you get local rates at your destination, meaning no more outrageous bills when you return home. You only pay for the data you need, and you enjoy 100% roaming-free charges.

This makes eSIM a cost-effective solution, whether you’re hopping from city to city or exploring more remote destinations.

2. Seamless Connectivity Across Multiple Countries

One of the biggest advantages of using an eSIM is the ability to maintain connectivity across different countries without having to switch SIM cards. With traditional SIMs, every time you move to a new country in Asia, you’d need to purchase a local SIM, set it up, and hope it works smoothly. This process can be time-consuming, frustrating, and inconvenient—especially if you’re traveling across multiple borders.

With MTALK eSIM, you can activate one eSIM plan that covers multiple countries in Asia, i.e Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam, without needing to switch physical cards. This means uninterrupted service, so you can stay connected with friends, access maps, and share your travel adventures on social media without any delays.

3. Fast and Reliable Internet in Every Destination

Asia is home to both bustling metropolises and remote natural wonders. Whether you're navigating the high-tech streets of Tokyo or trekking through the forests of Bali, staying connected is crucial. MTALK eSIM provides fast and reliable internet with local connectivity in each country, ensuring that you have access to high-speed data no matter where you are.

Unlike depending on inconsistent Wi-Fi networks or paying for expensive roaming packages, our eSIM gives you the freedom to enjoy fast internet for navigation, restaurant bookings, and keeping in touch with loved ones without interruption.

4. Instant Setup and Easy Installation

Traveling should be all about enjoying the sights and experiences—not worrying about technical hassles. With MTALK eSIM, installation is a breeze. Forget about visiting SIM card shops, waiting in line, or fiddling with your phone’s SIM tray. Our eSIM installation is 100% digital. You simply purchase your eSIM plan online, scan the QR code, and activate it in minutes.

The best part? You can even set it up before you arrive in Asia, so you land with internet ready to go.

5. Perfect for All Types of Travelers

Whether you’re a backpacker exploring Southeast Asia, a digital nomad working from co-working spaces in Chiang Mai, or a business traveler attending conferences in Shanghai, eSIM technology caters to all types of travelers. Its flexibility, ease of use, and cost efficiency make it an ideal choice for anyone who values staying connected while traveling in Asia.

With MTALK eSIM, you can keep track of your data usage, top up when needed, and switch between plans effortlessly, making it perfect for both short vacations and extended stays.

6. 24/7 Customer Support

When you're in a new country, things can sometimes go wrong, and the last thing you want is to deal with connectivity issues in an unfamiliar location. That’s why MTALK provides 24/7 support to assist you whenever needed. Whether you're facing setup issues or have questions about your data usage, our dedicated team is always available to help.

This peace of mind means you can focus on enjoying your travels without worrying about technical issues.

7. Environmental Benefits

Traditional SIM cards contribute to plastic waste, as millions of SIM cards are discarded each year. By switching to an eSIM, you're also making a more environmentally friendly choice. Since the eSIM is digital, there’s no physical waste involved, reducing the environmental footprint of your travels.

Ready for Your Next Adventure?

Get your MTALK eSIM for Asia today and enjoy seamless, hassle-free internet access during your travels. Stay connected, roam freely, and explore the beauty of Asia with the convenience of a MTALK eSIM.

Conclusion: eSIM – The Future of Travel in Asia

As more travelers explore Asia, the demand for convenient, affordable, and reliable connectivity will only continue to grow. eSIM technology is at the forefront of this transformation, offering a smarter way to stay connected while reducing costs and eliminating the hassles of traditional SIM cards.

MTALK eSIM is here to revolutionize the way you travel in Asia. With 100% roaming-free charges, local fast internet connectivity, easy installation, and 24/7 support, it’s the ultimate travel solution for the modern explorer.
