Colombian walking speed


Once again I am just amazed by the Colombian walking speed.
I have discovered Colombians have two walking gears: slow and fast. The fast one is FAST, the person walks so fast you can hardly catch up with a woman if you're a man. The slow (and normal) one is s- l- o- w.
This is the gear the attendants in shopping centers use. I am so amazed!
You ask for something and the attendant says "Ok, I'll take a look" and starts walking away in 0.3 km/hour. Beware when following them, because you risk walking into their back.
When they eventually come back, they are always courteus and friendly, expressing their joy of helping you.

I am so amazed how Colombians are so freed from stress. I think I envy them...
