Photo: Daniel Bustamante / TIME - In the next issue of the journal The Arepa, there will be a text on women singing hip hop Medellín.

Robin Finley is currently the director of 'The Arepa', which is written entirely in English.

"You're crazy!" Robin Finley told him when he told his friends that he would leave his job in the advertising area of \u200b\u200bGoogle powerful and world-renowned in San Francisco (United States).

was January 2008 and by then the people close to Robin had no idea that he, who had studied political science at the prestigious University of Berkley, expiring one year after mounting a cultural magazine in Medellín.

"I had my apartment, my girlfriend lived in San Francisco is a spectacular city. But the style, the pace of life was very boring, predictable, monotonous. (...) And also desde siempre, yo tenía la idea de vivir en otro país", cuenta.

Tras renunciar a su trabajo Robin viajó a hasta Guatemala para aprender español. Allí estuvo cuatro meses, trabajó en una revista en inglés para turistas y fue DJ en dos discotecas. Cuando se aburrió de Centroamérica, porque "la cultura es muy cerrada" un amigo le habló de Colombia.

Robin salió de Guatemala y llegó a Panamá en moto. Y de ahí hasta Cartagena en barco, para iniciar un viajé por Colombia, que lo llevó a conocer Sincelejo, Montería, Armenia, Bogotá y Medellín.

"Cuando returned to the States, intending to follow a graduate student, I felt bad. In Guatemala he wrote for a magazine, taking pictures (...) I realized I had a lot to offer and things were more interesting than United States, "says Robin.

'The Arepa' magazine

"I returned to Colombia and I realized I did not want to teach English, rather he wanted to make a magazine in English (as in Guatemala), because many people who want to learn the language and visitors who do not speak English, "he says.

The U.S. settled then in the "city of eternal spring." The chosen for its "cultural diversity" and felt that this could work I had in mind. Thus was born, in the first half of last year, the magazine The Arepa.

new music trends, people, places and texts with words trying to take a picture of culture in Medellín, the details that give color to the city, is what can be known in the pages of the independent magazine created by Robin, which currently employs three people.

"I always had this passion, he says, so I was bored out of my work, is I like to surround myself with artists, musicians, creative people. I like writing, painting. The whole experience of my life got to this point and now I have my dream job. "

The magazine costs 2,000 pesos, Robin originally ran all costs but over the months some have pautantes been joining the project.

Currently, the publication is available at hotels, museums, venues of Colombo and a few American universities.

For Robin is a shame that tourists, some hotels, they still sell the idea of \u200b\u200bthe tour to know the story of Paul Escobar, Medellin or rumbas and women are just beautiful.

"Obviously there are pretty girls, but if you come for Medellin just to know these stories are missing the opportunity to visit a city that has everything: theater, concerts and lots of talent (...) when culture is not promoted Tourism is superficial, "he concludes.

Su frase se escuchó este fin de semana en la presentación de la estrategia del banco.

Lo interesante es que entre esa nueva clase media está, nada más y nada menos, que Colombia. Es decir, las últimas señales de crecimiento económico y sostenibilidad ante la crisis del 2008 y 2009, comienzan a dar sus frutos. Además, es histórica porque por primera vez el país aparece en el plan de expansión empresarial de las grandes corporaciones financieras que buscan mercados.

Precisamente, estos países, según explica Geoghegan no son los llamados 'Bric' (Brazil, Russia, India and China), but nations that make their way onto the world stage thanks to its high growth rates, large populations and their voracious appetite for consumption of new brands.

According Geoghegan, are a class of countries sharing a stage of economic growth, changing patterns of wealth, changing trade routes and share a financial map: the 'Civet'. The term comes from an animal like the tiger that is found in many of these countries.

Besides Colombia, listed Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa. These economies have a young and growing population, have diversified and dynamic economies, are both politically stable and expansive future, according to HSBC Direct high.

Why Colombia?

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Colombia recorded a tentative 0.4 percent expansion in 2009, down from 2.5 percent in 2008. The Bank of the Republic based his prediction on the confidence of consumers and producers, idle capacity and an expansionary monetary policy, low interest rates.

Recently, the Central Bank cut by 50 basis points, its main benchmark interest rate. Indeed, these strengths could lead the country to expand in various markets, including handle similar to the various powers.

China, for example, has become the second largest luxury goods market in the world, consuming 25 percent of items such as handbags Louis Vuitton and Rolls Royce. Emerging markets will change the way they do business.

Geoghegan asks: who needs fixed telephone lines in China, where more than three-quarters of a billion mobile subscribers are also present.

And Africa is the world leader in mobile phone transfers of money.

Nobel Prize economist, Joseph Stiglitz, once asked this question: "Asia has become the source of funding, the source of savings. Why not take this opportunity to create better functioning financial markets for the people of Asia?

Other nations in the "middle class"

Some countries, like Colombia, were included in the list of 'civet', they also share gains in recent years . Turkey, for example, has a strong private sector and increasing although the state still plays an important role in industry, banking, transport and communications. In recent years, the Turkish economy has expanded strongly, placing the growth rates of 8.9 percent and 7.4 percent.

South Africa has in the next World financial catapult (photo). Foreigners inject 13,000 million rand, about 1,770 million dollars, the South African economy, contributing to its growth. The government expects 373,000 visitors
