What’s something Colombians do that usually surprises foreig
Q: What’s something Colombians do that usually surprises foreigners?
I want only to being fluent and understandable (not perfection, not academic).
Well, I think that something that probably surprises foreigners is that Colombian people are so kind, or at least the majority, because I can’t generalize. But many people in Colombia are accustomed to saying greetings all the time, even to strangers. I’m teaching this custom to my husband, because it’s difficult to differentiate if somebody wants to say hello or not, and you don't want to be rude. I think the trick is the eye contact when a Colombian is looking at your eyes directly for a few seconds, it’s because they are waiting for a greeting. So, during the day, you will say “good morning,” “good afternoon,” “good evening,” or “goodbye” many times.
Do you have another question about Colombian culture? Let me know :D

An Overstocked Shop
I wrote it when I was in an awful mood. So there is a warning: it would be pessimistic.
...
I'm not sure I like my life.
On the one hand, I have everything I need. For example, I have a wonderful boyfriend, goals to achieve, and a job that I kind of like. I hate my work schedule, but this is another story.
I think it's me. I'm hyper-responsible when it comes to work, and I'm a worrier by nature.
There were periods when I was unemployed. They were very short, but still. I've recently taken a vacation. So, based on this experience, I can say that it doesn't really matter whether I have a job or not; I'll still find something to worry about.
Additionally, I think life is so boring. Of course, my goals are not easy to achieve, I have to do my best, but it's also not rocket science. I mean, somebody has already achieved them, there is nothing new. On the other hand, I know that I'm not able to achieve extraordinary goals, because I'm average.
When everything in a shop costs the same, you start to think what you really want.
I feel like I've been standing in the shop for hours, staring at a display.
"What do I want?"
Thoughts of what I should do flash through my head, but I stop them, because I'm already doing this.
"What do I want?"
I notice how others buy something and feel envious. Someone has become a flight attendant and travels a lot now. Another one has applied for a prestigious university. Would I like to be in their position? I don’t think so. I'm envious only of the fact that they have taken what they wanted.
After that, I start to think about my past. Maybe that's what I want. However, it's priceless, so it's not in the shop. I can take back neither carelessness nor my family. I could buy our house back (we sold it when I was a teenager), but it would be an empty house.
I take another look at the display and feel nauseous.
"I want nothing," I say with a shrug, and leave the shop.

Mi nuevo trabajo
Tengo un nuevo trabajo. Tenía mucha esperanza que sería mejor que mi trabajo anterior, pero ahora pienso que fue una movida lateral. El salario y la carga de trabajo son mejores. Pero el ambiente es mucho más caótico y exigente. Entonces estoy todavía exhausta y estresada al fin del día. La cosa mejor de el nuevo trabajo es un compañero de trabajo que se llama Ben. Técnicamente no trabaja en mi departamento pero trabajamos juntos a veces de todas formas (son departamentos muy similares). No tuve un amigo de verdad a mi trabajo anterior, así que estoy feliz tener alguien aquí con el que puedo llevarse muy bien.

The whales
The wales are called the kings of the Icean because of their height. The blue whale can grow up until 30 metters (it's so big). But they hare hunted for their oil and meat. In the 1800's it wasn't a problem because they were hunting whale with wooden boats which moves slowly and the whale can move until 30 km per hours. But, in the 1900's, a man invented a new weapon: the exploding weapon. And with the advances in technology, the boats becamed faster. So, there was more than 3 millions whales who were be killed. It was a turning point. But, the whales becamed popular for the specific song they make. Different associations like Green Peace created reforms to save them and it allowed to save a lot of whale species.

С какими методами?. Ну, я часто использую Дуолинго чтобы запомнить словарь. Кроме того, каждый месяц я пытаюсь сделать официальный экзамен как маневры.
После обедом, я буду играть компьютер игры с моим друзьям.
С одной стороны, мне нравится с ними.
Так как, они выли моя первая группа
Поэтому, некоторые дни мы или играем или мы остались на улице.

В воскресенье, я буду поехать с моим родителим в самом знаменитом ресторане из-за моё отецкое день рождения .
В заключение, я посмотрю какие то видео про Россию или Российские Вести.

My Path of Learning English Language
My relationship with English language is very difficult. When I was a kid I really didn't understand for what I needed to learn English. I thought it was a waste of time. My first teacher English language didn't know this language. She forced me to study many different words, and sometimes she gave my homework. But she never checked my homework. When I started growing up I met with movies, more precisely I understood difference from dubbing and original sound. I has wanted to watch movies only with original sound. I watched movies with subtitles, but it was not enough for me. I realized one simply thing. I needed to start learn English. I didn't want to pay for lessons English. I believed that I could learn English solo. I was watching different lessons on YouTube, I was reading simplified books,I was using Anki for learning words. But I didn't feel any progress and my hands dropped. After a while, I tried again, and than again. And I will continue to try it.

Mes voyages sur voilier
J'habite sur mon voilier depuis quatre ans. J'ai voyagé aux Bahamas, aux Antilles, et aux États-Unis. J'adore l'opportunité d'explorer des nouveaux endroits et cultures. Les gens fréquemment me demander quel est mon endroit préféré, mais ce n'est pas possible de choisir un seul. Certains d'entre eux ont meilleures plages. D'autres ont plus de culture, ou les gens plus sympas, ou plus de ressources pour les marins. J'aime bien le découverte et l'aventure.

Cyber Criminals
We are facing to cyber crimes due to the technological developments. As if normal criminals were not enought, now we have cyber criminals. Unfortunately, a lot of people suffer from cyber crimes. How are they looking like? What are the modifies cyber criminals? How do they heck us?
The term of cybercriminal appears earlier 21th century with the internet found. Cybercriminal is a person who commits crimes using computers, networks, or the internet as a weapon. There are some commen modifies of them according to the researchs, generally they are male, under 30 years-old, well educated, and they started at a young age like 12 or 15. They are intelligent above average. Thay do not have a low socioeconomic status. They are generally doing it because of the money but many of them have enough money. If they want to earn so much money, they may work for Google or Mirosoft. Then, why do they do it? What are their motivations? I want to say that I think they can be intelligent however they do not have any idea how to use it. As answers are money, fun and financial game.
In fact, a lot of people suppose that they are looking like criminals but they seem to an angel or a hero. Many of them are famous in their environments. Anyone else who know them, does not think they are crimials. Then, how are they able to deceive us? They are pro manuplators. They manuplate us when we are vulnurable or they use our weak points. For instance, one day, you had a long workday so you just want to have a dinner after that have a rest by reading book or wathing TV. Then, during the dinner you look at your phone. And what is that? A femaus brand has a big discount especially for a bag or a technological advice already you like. Therefore you are going to click this link and finally congretulations, you have been hecked. Also it is necessery to do not forget, our movement on the internet is recorded everytime. In this way, the cyber criminals do not difficulty to find our weak points. While we are thinking I am clever, I am never hecked, I never click like this link but there are many people who struggle with cyber problems at police stations.
In conclusion, the people who belong to the technology age are in danger of cyber crime morover most of them do not know how dangerous it. So we have to be careful while we are using the internet. It is like a minefield. Be careful where you walk.

Last summer
Last summer, I visited the seaside town with two friends. We stayed in a small guesthouse near the beach and we swam in clear sea in the mornings. In the afternoons, we explored the colorful shops and friendly cafes. One night, we joined a local festival: people danced with live music. This trip helped me practice English with travelers from different countries and gave me many new memories.

Globalisierung
Unter Globalisierung versteht man den Prozess der zunehmenden internationalen Verflechtung in allen Lebensbereichen. Dieser Prozess bringt sowohl Vor- als auch Nachteile mit sich. Ein Vorteil besteht darin, dass dieses Phänomen den Austausch von Wissen und Informationen zwischen Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Kulturen Hintergründen begünstigt. Außerdem haben die Wissenschaft und Technik seitdem eindeutige Fortschritte gemacht. Was die Unternehmen betrifft, lässt sich feststellen, dass dadurch sich neue Märkte erschließen lassen, die Verkaufszahlen steigen nämlich kontinuierlich in einer globalisierten Welt, jedoch hat dieser Prozess auch seine Schattenseiten. Als Nachteil kann man zum Beispiel nennen, dass dadurch kleine Betriebe nicht mehr konkurrenzfähig sind. Um den Bedarf der wachsenden Bevölkerung zu decken, wird eher Wert auf Außenhandel gelegt, was zu einer Vernachlässigung kleinerer Betriebe führt. Hinzu kommt, dass durch Außenhandel und Einführung von Produkten die einheimische Wirtschaft gefährdet wird. Für Umwelt bleibt diese Entwicklung ebenfalls nicht ohne Folgen. Mit zunehmendem Bedarf an Energie werden jeden Tag fossile Brennstoffen verbrannt, was zu einer Steigerung der Treibhausgasemissionen führt. Insgesamt lässt sich feststellen, dass die Globalisierung unser Leben maßgeblich geprägt hat. Meiner Meinung nach sollten wir durch die bewusste Wahrnehmung von den Nachteilen und die Zusammenarbeit der Menschen und Politik den negativen Folgen dieses Phänomens entgegenwirken.

Me siento cansada más temprano que usual
Estoy escribiendo esto a las 10 PM. Normalmente me siento cansada a las 11 o 12 en la mañana. Esta noche, comencé sentirme cansada a las 9:30 PM. Es inusual para mí. Creo que es porque no he estado durmiendo a un tiempo bien. Anoche me dormí a las 1 de la mañana. Tal vez debería dormirse más temprano, es probablemente porque estoy sintiendo cansada, mi cuerpo sabe esto, y está intentando dormir así que no estoy cansada mañana. Probablemente dormiré después de público esto, solo quise escribir algo porque no he escrito nada en unos días. Gracias por leer, ¡Adiós!

Une machine à voyager le temps
Si j'assume que je peux retourner au présent, je me demande plusieurs questions. Mon corps et mon esprit voyageraient-ils le temps ensemble? Si c'est seulement mon corps, je ne retournerais pas dans le passé, parce que je me soucierais de creer des paradoxes temporels. Si mon esprit voyagerais vers une version plus ou moins âgée que mois, j'irai dans l'avenir. Ma raison principale est que je suis curieux à savoir de quoi je pouvais m'attendre.
