Flounder here
October 28, 2011
Well let’s talk about the folks down here in Colombia everyone is very nice to Jeff and those that meet me are very nice to, a little to touchy for my taste but nice all the same. The only problem I see is the lack of courtesy by the men to the women .I guess it’s the machismo thing. Women will walk down the street and if you’re on the right and they’re on the right they will never move to the other side ,if they want to get by they will simply push by and if you want to get by and say excuse me (in Spanish of course)they just turn around and look at you .The men dress in jeans for the most part the young one wear t-shirts except if they work in an office. The ones that work in gov’t offices wear slacks and shirts and ties. The women dress in uniforms when they work and when they don’t they wear jeans that Jeff swears are at least three sizes too small, eve the one who shouldn’t. Also it would appear that breast augmentation is done on every female over the age of twelve. Don’t they have any idea what they’re going to look like after 50?The men are thin and athletic at least until the beer starts to expand those flat abs. Speaking of beer it would appear that the drinking age is about 11 or until they can see above the bar same for smoking. Now back to the dress code Men wear sneakers unless there police or work in offices the women wear sandals, sneakers, or plat form high heels about 6 inches high. It’s so nice to be a cat and not have to worry about what to wear.
Great Job Flounder on these updates! It’s nice to see that you and your friends are enjoying life in Columbia (other than the cold shower…but you probably don’t like showers, hot or cold!) I’ll check in from time to time to see how everyone is doing!!
