Oh Be Careful Little Eyes

Perhaps you remember the children's song; Oh be careful little eyes what you see...I often think of the song while in stores here in Colombia.

If your cast a glimpse at any item in a store window or shelf someone will quickly be at your side saying; A la ordén.  (At your service).  You will never be alone again during your visit to the store.  The salesperson will then follow you around the store, asking questions now and then, picking up an item and telling you about it.  Asking what you want to purchase.  

It is nice to have such great help available but as a teacher I often do not know exactly what I am looking for, I simply need a thingamajig.  By the way, thingamajig in Spanish is Cachivache and some stores sell only thingamajigs!  

Shopping in Colombia-a fun adventure to be sure!
