1) You can buy pollo-flavored Margarita chips. Amazingly (and terrifyingly), they taste like chicken.
2) They sell Smirnoff Ice in a can for $1.40…I explained ice-ing to a Colombian and he thought it was hilarious and great
3) Jaywalking is a way of life…the existence of crosswalks is doubtful most times
4) The real reason behind always wearing boots or close-toed shoes in Bogota: walking on the “sidewalks” is like all-terrain hiking (#UNCpreparedmewell)
5) Colombians find it completely acceptable to stare. Even if you catch them at it and look at them, they won’t look away
6) Age is nothing but a number
7) The extent of Colombian hospitality, kindness, and generosity is endless. Upon meeting you, people will give you their phone number, address, email, and offer you a place to stay
8) Tell any Colombian male that you’re here for a year and they will most definitely inform you that you need to find a Colombian lover....and then not-so-subtly hint that they should be your lover
9) Caleños (people from Cali) love 2 things: enjoying life and salsa dancing
10) Colombia has 150 types of fruits and all the fruits come in different types…I will probably end up drinking more juice than water. My two new favorites: lulo and guanábana
