    A colombian here, love your program. Loved your description of our tinto: &quot; it is like the country that is best at coffee, decided to enjoy it in the smallest possible increments..&quot;

    I cracked up instantly when you mentioned the napkins. I&apos;m Colombian and this gets on my NERVES. It&apos;s like napkins are some kind of luxury good.

    I&apos;m colombian. I absolutely love content creators who are foreigners living here, bc they give us perspective about the good and the bad things we have. And it&apos;s important, bc we only are aware of the bad.

    The napkin 😆🙌🏼 so true. You cut a napkin into 4 pieces. That’s part of the pre shift duties at bars and restaurants. Oh the memories 🇨🇴💕

    Putting cheese on hot chocolate. I do that here in the states and it has become a full topic of conversation with local friends.

    I love the friendliness in Colombia. In Australia they all stare at the ground in the elevator with awkward silence. I know which I prefer.

    @theamericano, EVERYBODY HAS A BEAUTIFUL FULL BREED FUR BABY !!! , Even the person with the lowest income that I met , they love them and care for them . I’m originally from the DR , there are thousand of stray dogs in the streets suffering , here in Bogota have only seen 1 , literally &nbsp;one stray , in a city this big ! &nbsp;Those babies are allowed in the IKEA carts , at clothing stores , at a lot of nice restaurants, &nbsp;I mean it’s like they are people ! that’s one on my favorites things about walking around … seeing soo many beautiful and well taken care dogs &nbsp;:)
