As we descended into Bogotá over the hills and valleys of Boyacá on my first flight into Colombia many years ago now, I was mesmerised by the lushness and variety of the landscape’s rich greens. The farm country below looked surprisingly familiar to someone accustomed to the manoeuvring and preparation for landing in Shannon.

On a whistle-stop trip to Ireland, I recently went to a Dunnes Stores mega market in Galway. I was wowed. Supermarkets in Spain can’t compete; at least, not the ones that I know.

I know how surprising it is when I tell people that I live in Colombia. “Why on God’s earth?” is the usual, barely camouflaged, response. My choice baffles friends abroad and Colombians equally. You live there? the former react half-questioningly. You live here? the latter ask somewhat disbelievingly. Yes, I live in Bogotá, Colombia. I, and all who live here, know how Colombia is perceived in the world at large. The picture is not kind.

Swords are not the weapon of choice in this time and age, but they are more fascinating than ever. From fantasy novels to video games and historical movies, they are heavily featured in most types of media. For instance, we’re all familiar with Excalibur, the legendary sword allegedly wielded by King Arthur.
