About my city
Hi!
Tonight I talk about my city, I'm from Bogotá, is the Colombia's capital and the biggest city from my country. I've seen hollywood movies that "show" my city like a little town into the jungle, or caribean city of warm wheater... well, It's very different. Bogotá is located at 2600 meters above sea level, with a hectic cultural life, with many places and things to know, like a Monserrate's Hill, in top of the mountain there is a Church in tribute to "el señor caido" a sculpture that showing Christ falls toward the Calvary, in this point you have a beautifull view.
In the downtown is the colonial district "la candelaria" center of the history of the city and Colombia, there is also different museums like gold museum which has a biggest collection of pre-Hispanic gold pieces in the world, "la casa del florero"museum is a place where there was the scream of independence.
The typical food is the Ajiaco, is a soup maked with 3 types of potato, chicken pieces, and served with capers. this soup was praised in the New York newspaper and here is the review http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/02/dining/from-colombia-the-ultimate-one-pot-meal-a-good-appetite.html?_r=0
There are many things in my city, but in other moment I talk many things from my city and my country, Enjoy with this one!
