My view on Colombia

The Colombian people is so very proud because all the Colombians share this beautiful feeling
in hearth, the people in other countries the people no is happy, Colombia is qualified with the
first country when the people is complete feeling happy, don’t think with the bad, the only
think of the Colombian is go forward with transparence and make all well and with the town.

In Colombia have a different beliefs and traditions independent with in what part of Colombia
you live, if you live in Bogota the “cachacos” think this:

 the bride and groom who climb the hill of Monserrat will never get married

In the Coast of Colombia think the “costenos” think this:

 If the pets of the house die for some strange reason, it is because it protects the family
from a curse

In Bucaramanga “The bumangueses” think:

 I will fill the pockets with lentils in the new year to attract abundance

In Medellin think “paisas” think:

 the first drink of a bottle is always served to the blessed animations of purgatory

And in different parts of Colombia have more beliefs, finish with talking about the beliefs now I
speak with the form of wear

In Bogota use, Bogota have a weather Cold but the people use clothes with accord with the
temperature (they can use, gloves, hut, jacket, long pants, dress, I think than this depend with
the people)
In the coast, the people use different outfits because have the Caribbean style (T-shirts,
skeletons, short pants, slippers, shoes)

In Bucaramanga is same with the coast, the weather is hot and use similar clothes with use in
the coast but in little lapse of time the weather is cold and can use the similar clothes when
use in Bogota, the people use (dress, shoes, hand bag, glasses when the temperature is high
and when the temperature is cold, use jackets, long pants, huts, High heels)

In Medellin the weather is hot and the people use (short pants, huts, long sleeve, hand bag,
belt)
