Differences between living in a town and living in a big city
The last week I was in my parent's town in Quindio, Colombia. I lived here when I was a child for almost 9 years, then I came to Bogota to study. However, I'm used to traveling to this town on each holiday at least once a year.
In_spite of I living in Bogota, I have many customs from Quindio, and when I'm here (in Bogota) obviously, I'm I notice the difference in weather or places. But I think the biggest difference is in some peoples' attitudes. For instance, in this town it is normal that people always say "good morning, good afternoon", and so on, to other passangers and also to the driver when they take a bus. The same in any bank, shop, and they even to exchange a little salute when they are walking in the park or on streets.
Traffic also is quieter. Here in Bogota it is sometimes common to hear people saying bad words while they are driving. In Quindio this rarely happens. I think this happens in Bogota because there are a lot of people and cars.
Something I also like about this town is that there are nearby, clear rivers and waterfalls.
Quindio sounds like a beautify city!
