Do I like Colombia? Everyone kept
asking me. Yes, but it wasn’t my favourite country.
I found the people overall to be
very rude and aggressive. They’d shove you. They would accidentally kick you
and not apologize, even if you made a yelp in pain. They’d cut you in line.
But some of them, individually,
were friendly, asking questions about you and where you came from.
There were offers to buy coke. I
didn’t accept any of them, but yes, it’s there.
I didn’t have any security issues,
but on my last night in the hostel, I heard of two people getting their
daypacks (with all this credit cards, passport, etc) stolen from the seat next
to them at the airport while they were there.
I felt unsafe at times, but that’s
mostly because I was so paranoid. I mainly felt safe. My unsafe feeling was my
nervousness because of all the warnings.
The country is pretty, the climate
and environment diverse.
Arepas really are best when you get
them on the street. In restaurants, they tend to be dry and flavorless.
Juices are amazing and I tried to
drink as many as I could. The cheapest I paid was 50 cents for a maracuya juice.
The fruits are unlike anything I’ve
ever tried. They were lovely.
The mosquitoes were lethal.
It gets cold in the tropics,
sometimes.
You find yourself as you get lost
in the city streets.
