Where I live
Colombia is one of the 20 countries that Latin America has, located in the north-occidental part of South America and in the equator, is actually one of the most well known countries in Latin America. It shares borders with Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. the Colombian territory contains in its floors the amazon rainforest, tropical grasslands, and the Carribean and Pacific coasts. It is one of the world´s megadiverse countries ecologically, and it is the most densely biodiverse country of these. Colombia is one of the most promising emerging markets in Latin America, obtaining macroeconomic stability, gaining a stable and arousing market. Colombia is very extreme floor-wise, it contains from snowy, unactive volcanoes and the big mountains of the Andes, and the tropical beaches that run the north and west of the country where the coasts are located, to deserts in the north like La Guajira, and vast greenlands. It has become one of the most turistic countries of Latin America in the past years, attracting over 3.2 million tourists in 2017. the people are really diverse, too, they mostly decend from Indians, African people, and European settlers, not to count the turkish families that came here later, making the music, dance, art, and gastronomy very unique.
The city in which I live is Barranquilla, it is not that big, but definetely not small, i´d say it is a pretty good and nice city to live in, it is not too stressful, or too boring. Barranquilla is the capital of the Atlantico department, that is located in the northern part of the country, that means it is located in the coastlines, so it has beaches, that are kinda dirty, but it is really not bad, and they make great places to hang out with friends and family. One very peculiar thing about living in Barranquilla is that everybody knows everybody, just like in a town, maybe because families are somehow related to one another. Barranquila is placed near the Magdalena River, this river thus becoming a serving port for water transportation inside Colombia. The most important cultural event of Barranquilla, and of Colombia is the Carnival of Barranquilla, it starts four days before the holy month arrives, and all activities are ceased because of the intense festivities, people who don´t like these days usually go to cities like Santa Marta to escape from all the rumbling. Barranquilla is definetely going to grow in the next years, even though it has a kind of chaotic infrastructure, I think it is going to remodelate completely its administration, and facade.
I live in the Riomar neighbourhood, in front of the Electrificadora park, it is a really quiet neighbourhood and nothing really happens, I used to have a few freinds around, but they all moved, so now it is quiet for real, the only thing that ever happens to do noise is the sound of people walking and playing football in the park, and it is barely heard, I really don´t have complaints about it. I can move freely around my neighbourhood, because it is not dangerous at all, and everything around it I already know, I can take out my dog for a walk in the park or around my block, depends on how lazy I am at the moment, I can go get stupid stuff in the little market that i have near my house. My house really stands out in the neighbourhood, reflecting how boring it is, it is a 5 story house right in the middle of my block, that happens to be the center of my neighbourhood. Sometimes little birthday parties are made in the park, they do not make much noise, but it really stands out when it happens, given the silence that usually dominates the place. Basically my neighbourhood is a really nice, boring place to live in, but when you think about it, you really have everything you need right next to you.
