Grown-ups living with their parents
It is interesting how in Colombia adult people still live with their parents. Pretty much all singles live with their parents as long as they aren't married. It doesn't matter if you are forty or fifty years. So if you meet this loud, confident middle-aged leader type in a party, and he's not married, you can be sure later in the evening he will go home to his mommy. I'm still getting used to the thought.
Or like my neighbors. Every now and then I discover a new person coming out from their door, realizing they too live there. Plus the mandatory dog of course. I think it's wonderful (except the dog). For economic or traditional reasons, Colombians value the family. And people don't have to suffer from loneliness.
Note: Sorry for the formatting of the last posts. I posted from my cell phone.
