Before making any plans to come to Colombia, it might be helpful to read the following cultural lesson. It is one I am still learning, as you will soon discover.
We were in a shopping center when I told my husband I needed to go to a certain store.
¨It´s just across the street.¨ He responded. ¨Let´s go then!¨ Was my response.
We walked out of the shopping center.
Crossed the street.
Climbed a flight of stairs to cross the overpass.
Walked a block.
Climbed a second flight of stairs to cross another overpass.
Walked another block.
Turned the corner.
Walked a block.
There was the store...just across the street!
Silly me! I was truly ready to find the store, just across the street!
