I've seen 16 year old Nene Royal (who received the golden buzzer on AGT) getting a lot of attention lately for her amazing guitar skills, rock/metal vocals and stage presence, but I came across this performance of her singing Adele's “Skyfall” and thought it really showed just how much vocal range and versatility she has.

And don't get me wrong - I absolutely love the rock & roll direction she's going in and definitely don't want her to move away from it. I just think it's really cool to hear her take on something completely different and show another side of what she can do as a vocalist.

What makes it even more impressive to me is that this is just someone recording her live on a phone at a night market in Thailand - not a professional recording or TV sound setup. So the audio we're hearing can't really capture what she would have sounded like in person, or how her voice could come across with a proper professional recording setup like on AGT.

I’m slowly furnishing this bedroom, and the first thing I need to sort out is the window. Please ignore the rest of the room for now. I know it’s still very bare.

The current pleated blind came with the apartment, but it lets in far too much light during summer mornings.

I usually prefer floor-length curtains, but I’m not sure they would work well here. The window is fairly small and deeply recessed, the radiator sticks out directly below it, and there is limited space between the bed and the radiator/wall. What do you think?

What would you choose, both aesthetically and practically: floor-length curtains, shorter curtains ending just above the radiator, an outside-mounted Roman or roller blind, or something else? Where and how would you mount it?

My instinct is that any new window treatment should be mounted outside the recess, since the window opens inward and anything installed inside the recess could interfere with opening it.

Blackout is important, but I’d also like the window to look properly finished rather than purely functional.

Hola. Vivo en Dinamarca y tengo algunos billetes colombianos antiguos de 20.000 y 50.000 pesos, como los de las fotos. Los conservo desde que viajé a Colombia en 2017.

He buscado información y, por lo que entiendo, todavía parecen ser válidos y aceptados por el Banco de la República. Sin embargo, estos diseños antiguos están desapareciendo de la circulación, así que no sé si todavía se aceptan normalmente en supermercados, restaurantes y otros comercios, o si en la práctica solo se pueden cambiar fácilmente en un banco.

Mi duda surgió porque las casas de cambio en Dinamarca no aceptan esta serie. Tampoco puedo enviarlos por carta, ya que los servicios postales que tengo disponibles no permiten incluir efectivo. Enviarlos como paquete internacional con seguimiento sería desproporcionadamente caro para una cantidad pequeña.

Por eso, solo estoy considerando vendérselos en persona y con descuento a alguien en Dinamarca que vaya a viajar a Colombia. No estoy buscando enviarlos por correo. Antes de venderlos, quiero asegurarme de que la persona pueda utilizarlos sin demasiados problemas.

Desafortunadamente, he olvidado casi todo el español que aprendí durante mi viaje, así que este texto fue traducido con ayuda. Disculpen cualquier error o frase extraña.

Perdón si este tipo de publicación no está permitido. ¡Gracias!

Edición: Como varias personas comentaron que estos billetes antiguos podrían tener un valor adicional para coleccionistas, subí fotos de los billetes reales:

¿Alguno de estos tiene un valor superior a su valor nominal o al de la serie nueva, o son simplemente billetes comunes en circulación? Si alguno destaca por el año, las firmas, el número de serie o el estado, agradecería mucho sus comentarios.

Hi. I live in Denmark and have some older Colombian 20,000 and 50,000 peso banknotes, like the ones shown in the photos. I have had them since I travelled to Colombia in 2017.

I have searched for information and, as far as I understand, they still appear to be valid and accepted by Banco de la República. However, these older designs are gradually disappearing from circulation, so I am unsure whether they are still commonly accepted in supermarkets, restaurants and other businesses, or whether they can only be exchanged easily at a bank in practice.

My uncertainty arose because currency exchanges in Denmark will not accept this older series. I also cannot send them by letter because the postal services available to me do not permit cash in letters. Sending them as a compliant international tracked parcel would be disproportionately expensive for such a small amount.

I am therefore only considering selling them in person, at a discount, to someone in Denmark who will soon be travelling to Colombia. I am not looking to mail them abroad. Before selling them, I want to make sure the person can use them without too much difficulty, which is the reason why I am posting this.

Unfortunately, I have forgotten almost all the Spanish I learned during my trip, so the Spanish text was translated with AI assistance. Apologies for any errors or strange wording.

Apologies if this type of post is not allowed. Thank you!

Edit: Several people suggested these older notes might be worth more than face value to collectors, so I've uploaded photos of the actual notes:

Do any of these have any collector premium, or are they simply ordinary circulated notes? If any stand out because of the year, signatures, serial numbers or condition, I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
