I still have only really heard Spanish spoken in Bogotá, though I have become more impressed with how much English I've heard being used. There are a lot of proficient speakers out here!
Colombians all use pesos, but they're pretty different than dollars. $1.00 is $3,000 COP pesos. Don't get ahead of yourself, that doesn't mean you all of a sudden have $3,000 American dollars. Oh no, $3,000 COP can get you pretty much the same things one U.S. dollar can.
Thankfully, since the Bogotá tap water is drinkable, that's all that I'm sipping on! I carry my cantene around, and never have to buy water.
Tonight I made chili just how it's made in the U.S.! My Venezuelan roomate, Antón, who I introduced you too last time, loved it. It was the perfect combination of spicy and garlicky.
I've been trying to better understand Colombian music. This week, I listened to a lot of Juanes and Bomba Estereo, two famous Colombian bands. There are different genres from around the country that I've started to understand better to, such as, Joropo, Vallato and Cumbia.
