Entertainment in the streets of Bogota

Last Friday my father and me decided to have fun taking plenty of pictures in downtown Bogotá, we had tremendous time photographing so many different people in all kinds of situations in many different places.

People playing music at the street, people dancing at the street, people hugging or simply walking in many different scenarios. At first we thought that people would get angry because we were taking pictures of them, but we were wrong because nobody got mad at us by the picture taking; the people were nice and even smiled at us. It was very funny to see the way of life of the people in the streets, there was an old woman who had a “house” if we can call it like that, it was all made with garbage and different things she found and collected, when she noticed that my father was taking pictures to her! Oohh se got so mad with us and she was going to throw a very big stone to my father, she could kill him, but didn’t cause we went out of there running. One of the most touching scenes was an old man covered with a plastic, sitting on the floor, having lunch in a jar, surrounded by lots of pigeons that he was sharing lunch with them.

To conclude, going to a mall or a cinema are not the only ways of entertain here in Bogota´, you can find better ways to have fun all around the city and to meet the Colombian people and their peculiar style, I had a lot of fun and I’m sure you can also have fun.
