Departamento del Meta

Weird things made in Colombia:

- Aguapanela con queso - water with cane sugar and cheese
- Using the motorbike for everything, even 4 persons, a dog and mattresses
- Even in the hottest cities, lunch always includes soup
- There is an unbelievable variance of fruits, but they never seem to eat any
- Also, in a supermarket you have to search a while to find bottled water of more than 500ml, since people almost only drink juices (fresh and delicious :P)
- Street signs warn of monkeys instead of dears
- Classes (even of most secondary schools) start at 6am
- There are no seasons: the climate only changes between rainy and dry (temperature stays almost the same all year), sun goes up at 6am and down at 6pm every single day
- Colombia is famous for its coffee (called tinto), and even the kids drink it
- No meal is complete without rice, doesn't matter if breakfast, lunch or dinner
- Everything is fried and older people that visit Germany are convinced that there is absolutely no food, because the unfried one doesn't count
- Besides, 90% is carbs: it is normal here to get a plate with rice, pasta and arepas combined, not even always complemented by meatLæs mere
