During a visit to one museum, I saw a guy looking at a list of battles fought by Simón Bolívar, the liberator of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Bolivia. There were the names of the battles with no indication of the where they'd been fought, and I stood by next to this tourist and started with a lesson learnt long ago at school: Carabobo, Venezuela; Boyacá, Bogotá, Pichincha, Ecuador; and Junín and Ayacucho, Perú (country of yours truly).
Wakati wa ziara ya jumba moja la makumbusho, nilimwona mtu mmoja akitazama orodha ya mapigano yaliyopiganwa na Simón Bolívar, liberator wa Venezuela, Kolombia, Ekuado, Perú na Bolivia. Kulikuwa na majina ya mapigano ambayo hayakuonyesha mahali yalipopiganwa, nami nilisimama kando ya mtalii huyu na kuanza na somo miaka mingi iliyopita shuleni: Carabo, Venezuela; Boyáac Bogotá, Pichi, Ekuado; na Junín na Acuya, Perchory (nchi ya kweli kweli).
