I’m a gringo married to a Nica and we live in the south eastern US. Here in the south, like in many hispanic cultures, we tend to chit chat and ask about family, etc before asking direct questions. I was raised this way and I can see why some people would find getting into direct questions immediately to be rude.

I understand what you mean about eating there. My fiance is a Colombian and we eat with this philosophy. in the morning eat like a king, at lunch eat like a prince and at supper eat like a pauper. All in all, it works well and makes total sense

The supporting the extended family thing can be annoying... especially if no one in the extended family has a job!

[@davidjose89]

Well that's not true at all, the age gap is something maybe an specific feature of Medellin culture. I'm live in Bucaramanga, Santander, and I must say you won't expect to find a boyfriend to help all family. That's ridiculous. I think it works the same in Bogota where I was born. These days in a relationship, both has to work. Colombia has different customs in every city or region of the country. In Santander we say things straightforward, and we are perceived as ride by the rest of the country. Maybe because there were german immigration here?

[@Anonymus-z3z]

Not true in decent households. You are the one who has to choose well.

#HowToExpat : Sorry you are wrong, the reason people don't smell is because in Latin America it is normal to take several showers during the course of a day. A rinse before working out, A complete shower after working out, Another after coming from work/school, and lastly one before going to sleep. Water is very cheap, and it is a culture thing.

[@djinkastluqman2261]

Yes! I believe this because i am jamaican and in jamaica sometime we bath all 4 times in one day. By the way i LOVE COLOMBIAN PEOPLE, they are extremely friendly people, however rough they may be. I would to see a Colombian that show the positive and loving side of Colombia

I think you and Sam should seek some information on the gangs there in medellin. they are becoming an increasing problem there, especially north of medellin. I'm personally aware of things going on in bello and copacabana now.

[@arielpuatu3961]

Great information! Especially for people who do not travel out of their countries, many only know their own culture and ways, while others who travel the world may give/get false impressions and judgments based on visiting only for short-stays (eg 3-7 days). It's accurate when the message comes from someone like you and Sam who actually have stayed there for a long period; authentic and better representation of true life and values. Cheers :)

I noticed in parts of East Asia (Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore) bags are never put on the floor or ground. Same dynamic. Perhaps it has something to do with public health and hygiene in the public areas.

I know that "when in Rome do as the Romans" but what I personally had to get used to and accept (not 100 % yet) is not being on time or ever in a hurry. Also you can be texting or talking with someone and they say wait, I'll be back in a minute and that minute will most likely be an hour or more. No sense of time... but it is an awesome place or I wouldn't keep visiting and you two wouldn't be living there.

So what is the average age gap with couples in Colombia? What is still considered normal? Like a lot of men I am looking to start over in South America.

[@jenni8524]

The age gap is somewhat complicated, I have an aunt who is 9 years older than her husband and my father's girlfriend is 7 years younger than him, people here dont worry much about that when there is an age difference in adults. But the typical thing is to see young couples with very little difference in age or the same age.

[@bedinabebe4521]

Tasha when you said its bad luck to put your bag on the floor I could have moved there immediately! I don't want my bag to touch the floor at all. I'm Morocco a woman offered to hold my school bag. Big Lunch & Small Dinner comes from Siesta Tradition in Spain.

[@Anonymus-z3z]

That is BS: Not bad luck, it is just hygene (you surely don't want to ruin your bag by puting it on the dirty floor). Also offering someone to take their bag is a way to show that you care about others. It is emapaphy, since you know how it is to carry a heavy bag after a work day, especially if you have a long drive ahead.

When I met my Colombian Fiance it was like striking gold tbh. I can't really be happy with the women in my own country because they are too liberalized and modern. For me it makes me feel sick and unnatural and I am never happy with such women. I like a traditional woman. And I guess it's a double bonus that God made me attracted to latinas over other women.

Honestly, I don't think you guys have much idea about Colombian culture, 2 years give you no much overall. I have been 15 years in Europe and still discovering many things, like age gaps is very common here too. In fact, I think is more common than in Colombia. Very Conservative religious cultures and a lot unimpressed things and behaviours. I felt the way you described things about Colombia is very disappointing and sometimes insulting, would like about your country. By the way, people hold your bags in the buses because they want to be nice. One more thing, try to learn more Spanish to understand things better and stop to be too judgemental.

[@franklinmoreira1919]

1 - Bus/bag : politeness and hygiene 2 - age gaps: divorce rate in Switzerland is huge. There is no wright or wrong as long as it Works. There is a natural age gap since women get older MUCH faster than men. 10 years ???, like 35 and 25, 55 and 45, 85 and 75 😅 is nothing! Imagine going home everyday and facing the devil ! 👹 3 - "latin countries" : this shows a lack of knowledge about the continent. Ex: Brazil: 8th economy on the Planet. We speak portuguese. The country is larger than Europe. Argentina and Venezuela: 🤐. Comparing Chile or Uruguai to Bolívia??? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 4 - business or not : a lot of europeans are RUDE. Maybe it is the crisis that began more than 2 thousands years ago. 😅 So not making business when you feel uncomfortable is st outcomers should learn just because peace and happiness are priceless. Maybe that's why suicide is not like a flu in South America. 5 - eating : THERE IS NO FOOD IN EUROPE, GOD! I Love the winter in Europe. I go to Switzerland every winter. At some point I start to dream about food. Fishes, stakes, FRESH FRUITS and so on ... 6 - True: they don't wash that much, but a have very nice swiss, german and austrian friends. 7 - law flexibiliylty or social flexibility: try to build a house in Switzerland or open a business in Germany that u will face a enormous burocracy and discover why so many people leave and NEVER come back. There is no perfect place. Ps: I've Just made my point as a South American. Most of your informations are essentials but you have to take into account that You moved to Colômbia. You're not colombians. I mean you have a very good Idea about Medellín, but never like paisas. The same happen to me : spendind months in Europe every year doesnt make me an european.

OK, .... with respect to how people smell in the "most innovative city in the World Medellin", your assessment is totally incorrect. The mean temperature in the City of Medellin is spring like temperature it is not hot and it is not cold, typically the temperature during the day 75 degrees and during the evening 68 degrees. Thus the name eternal spring city of Medellin. The result is that the temperature is perfect, therefore the people in Medellin 99% shower 2 times per day, ... the citizens of Medellin shower in the morning every day prior to going to work and after they return from work at the end of the day they also shower as daily routine. This is a contrast by comparison to all countries in the European Union, which at best 99% of the population only showers once per every 7 days. many Europeans shower once every 2 weeks. I know this for a fact since I traveled through out Europe including Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, England, The Netherlands and many others. In fact the french normally use lots of perfume to complement the odors from the body for only showering once per week. The citizens of the Most Innovative city of the world Medellin, are extremely clean in terms of showering 2 times daily. The Girls in Medellin above showering daily, also love to look their best and many wear perfume to smell even better. I am in the USA today and by most part 80% of the population do shower once per day... specifically those of us who leave in the sun belt of USA, such as Florida which is extremely hot.

Hey I like this video but I don't think its right to use the word 'weird' to describe the cultural differences.

It's funny how you overemphasize being so European, yet you sound so American when you speak.

Notsomuch to an American.
