Accidently became mexican in Colombia

I want to write about things that I noticed here in Colombia. Or that I have learned so far. 1. People here walk so INCREDIBLY SLOW. I always run from A to B and I think I move three times as fast as everyone else.

2. This may also have something to do with the fact that everyone here feels 20 cm shorter than in Germany. It is not uncommon for a woman to be 1.50 m tall here. I'm not small here. I'm completely average, if not slightly taller than average.

3. Latino parties are unfortunately much hotter than Alman parties and pretty much correspond to the cliché of a bunch of horny people rubbing their bodies together to make Bad Bunny. Unfortunately, I often get hit on by some slimy dudes (every 5 minutes), but I know how to defend myself (most of the time).

4. I know everyone thinks it's super difficult as a vegan here, but I've arrived in fruit and vegetable HEAVEN and compared to Germany, you don't have to sell your soul for it. Unfortunately, you have to sell your soul + 1 1/2 kidneys for substitute products, but they are unhealthy anyway, Benni, stop eating so many substitute products. Did you know that you can dry papaya seeds and they then become a kind of peppercorn? I thought it was cool.

5. In Colombia, people don't eat anything spicy at all. A lot of people think that because of Latin America and stuff, but it's the biggest lie. One grain of chili and they start to cry. However, those who really can't be beaten when it comes to spiciness are the Mexicans. Some of my best friends are Mexican and even their sweets are spicy, you won't believe it. They eat fruit with Tajín (a spicy powder) and their sweets are also soaked in it. What burns the tongues of Colombians tastes like NOTHING to them. They give this to their newborns. So when it comes to sharpness, they're not something to be trifled with.

Okay and very briefly: I accidentally ended up in Mexico a bit because I once had something with a Mexican woman who has now become one of my best friends and I'm now chilling a lot with Mexicans and slowly taking Mexican traits at. I feel very connected to my roots and feel very Colombian here, but we also always joke that part of me is Mexican at heart.

6. They have a completely different relationship with nature here. Maybe I'll write more about that because I think it's so beautiful. Nature is somehow valued more, even if this is not so blatantly reflected in individual actions (so much plastic), but the relationship with nature seems somehow closer and more appreciative to me. And more conscious and proud.

With that I say goodbye, that was just a small part of so many things that are different here than in Germany and it is slowly starting to feel more like home here than in Germany. But I miss you when you read this (I hope only people I actually miss read this). Or not, I don't care. Kissy
