Colombia - Language, Culture, Customs

http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/colombia.html I really like this article because for me is very interesting and I would like to share you guys about my culture. Colombia is a country situated in the northwest of South America, our capital is Bogota, the first language is Spanish, the religion is Catholicism, most people get marriage in the church with all the family and friends and make a big party to celebrate it! The role of the family there is very nice, they can always help, give a advice, celebrate together the good things and be there for the bad news. The old families had a lot kids and big family but actually for the economy the people prefer to have less kids and have a better life economically. When we have a family party the old people take the food, drinks, and dessert first, for us they always need to be first. We have to respect them more than everybody else. We have a lot celebrations in colombia such as, LA feria de las Flores in medellin is famous in colombia because is the best time in that city for the flowers so, they make a party celebrating the nature, the carnival in barranquilla is the best party in the country, we have a queen and king a lot customs, dance, drinks, and food, also fiestas del mar in Santa Marta they make a big party in the beach for summer time, etc… The education in my country is very important for us. Everybody need to go to the school for a better future.
