      Gracias - Thank you
      Por favor - Please

      ¿Cuánto cuesta? - How much does it cost?
      ¿Dónde está…? - Where is…?

      Underestimating the weather (especially in Bogotá)

      Even though it’s in Latin America, Bogotá can get quite cold and the weather changes fast throughout the day. Don’t assume it’ll be warm. 🌧️ Always carry a jacket and something waterproof.

      No todo el que te ofrece ayuda es con buenas intenciones, la mayoría de veces (No siempre y no todas las personas). Ejemplo; estás buscando una dirección de algún lugar, preguntas a cualquier persona de dónde te encuentras, lastimosamente han ocurrido casos en los cuales se ven hurtos a personas extranjeras. Hay una frase, un dicho, que dice, "El vivo vive del bobo" esa frase representa, y me atrevería a decir que a la cultura colombiana.
