LATINOS!!

WHY LATINOS CAN'T BE TERRORISTS......................
1. 8:45am is too early for us to be up.
2. We are always late, we would have missed all 4 flights.
3. Pretty people on the plane distract us.
4. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.
5. With food and drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're there.
6. We talk with our hands, therefore we would have to put our weapons down.
7. We would ALL want to fly the plane.

8. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.
9. We can't keep a secret, we would have told ever! yone a week before doing it.
AND MY FAVORITE.....
10. We would have put our country's flag on the windshield.

ARE YOU A LATINO? HOW CAN YOU TELL FOR SURE?

1) If you have ever been hit by a "Chancla"
2) If you grew up scared by something called "El Cucuy"
3) If others tell you to stop screaming when you are really just talking.
4) If you light a candle to Virgin Mary on the night before your big test.
5) If you use your chin to point something out.
6) If you constantly refer to cereal as "con fleys".
7) If your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you for dinner, even if it's a one bedroom apartment.
8) If you can dance merengue, cumbia, or salsa without
music.
9) If you use "manteca" instead of olive oil and can't figure out why your nalgas are getting bigger.
10) If you are in a five passenger car with seven people in it and a person is shouting "subanse, tod! avia caben mas!"
11) If whenever you feel under the weather, you compulsively dab on some "Vick's vapor rub" all over your pecho and inside your nostrils.
12) Your mom packs your "lonche" every day even though you've just turned thirty-two.
13) If you call the North Americans "gringos", including Canadians, and call all Asian people "chinos" or "chinitos"and you call the corner store "the chinito's store".

Rain Get your umbrella!
2) If you grew up scared by something called "El Cucuy"

This is region of Colombia in Boyaca, considered very beautiful by many.

12) If you can't imagine anyone not liking spicy food

Some regions have spicy food (ie. Mexico), but a very significant portion of latin america (including Colombia) does not eat much spicy food (Unless you consider cilantro spicy)

Yup spicy is out in Colombia I almost killed a few people in Medellín with my Buffalo Wings! Left them crying. Serves them right though becuase they all want plastic gloves to eat them. But I guess I should be understanding since even the men all get manicures and pedicures down here....soooo manly!

Any info is welcome.. Hi to all who read this!
I am looking for any and all information about the city of Bucaramanga. That is my birthplace and I want to know more about it; I was adopted from an orphanage there when I was young. And while I did grow up in the US, I am and always will be a Colombiana at heart!
So, I appreciate any info anyone has, because I plan to go back there somewhere in the next year. I speak a little bit of spanish, and I will continue to improve before I go back for sure!
Thank you in advance and I look forward to getting a respponse!

viva colombia!
