EVIDENCE: CULTURAL LITERACY AROUND THE

WORLD
 A few years ago, I traveled to Bogota for a month. I was participating in anac
ademic event, and I stayed with my cousin and her boyfriend who is
fromBogota. I visited a lot of places and I learned about their culture, which
is verydifferent that mine. The life in Bogota is so busy and more complicated
and here inthe coast are more relaxed and many things happen because ‘aja’
People from Bogota, who are called ‘Cachachos’, aren’t as friendly as
‘Costeños’ but they are kind people.
The weather there is cool so people wear with coats and bots for the rain and
theirway to talk, which have a special accent, is very different that the other
cities of Colombia.
Regarding ideologies, they are more liberal than us, who are more
conservatives.However, there are a lot of religions that are practiced because
of the confluenceof people from over the world.
The food is different too; they eat some fruits than are not common in the
coast like ‘Curuba’ and one of typical plates is ‘Changua’ that is a soup with
milk, eggs and bread.
How Bogota is the capital of the country is very developing
regardingtransportation, education and techn ology. You can move on bus,
cab, ‘Trasmilenio’ or on a cycle because there are a lot of bike lines so is safe
move on it. Also, youcan run into people from all the parts of the city, which
are working or studying here, so it’s a perfect place to cultural literacy of all
the regions in Colombia.
 There are many activities to do every day, from festivals to concerts or politic
events, so it’s very interesting know about it.
I really enjoyed my travel and I could know more about their customs,
culture, theirway to talk and more.
