Who Called the Thieves?

 

       Although most people think that developed countries are safe. There are some situations that people should review even if they are in places which look like completely safe. People should not be relied. In my home country, sometimes is easy to find people driving with windows opened and their purse sit in the passenger seat completely opened showing some money, important documents, and other valuable objects inside. In Calgary this kind of situation are normal and to be honest this is a good way to attract thieves in everywhere. Another risk condition is walking in the middle of the night. For instance, in my city young people love to go to the parties which finish around 3:00 in a.m. and then they stop or walk in everywhere instead of going home. That is the worst decision they can make; young people in general do not know what is going on during the night in the place where the parties are (public spaces), so they can not avoid risky experiences. Even in Calgary, sometimes in downtown there are some drunk people and nobody knows what can be happen, because people under alcohol effects can react in a bad way. Finally, wearing and showing expensive jewelry in dangerous places can be a scary experience. In most of the cities in South America, the downtown has become one of the most risky places and my country is not the exception. People go to buy things in downtown (people can find very cheaper things in this place than in another) and wear expensive jewelry. Perhaps, it is not the best place for wearing it because this place is singularly the thieves' home. Likewise, the same situation can be possible in Calgary. Even though, Calgary does not have the same downtown like South America, can be common that thieves are in downtown waiting for the opportunity to steal because in Calgary most of the business are in downtown, so many people work there. With these examples in mind, is very important for people to evaluate any bad situation that probably can faced in everywhere and take the correct precautions to avoid whatever possible risk situation.

Enjoying my Money

I would like to do many things if I were the richest person in the world just for a day. The first thing that I probably do is make a huge donation for people who do not have all the necessary things to live. I would like to visit these countries and share my time with all the people who live there. Second, I would like to share my money with my family and friends and make some business and investments to secure my retirement for the rest of my life. Consequently, I would like to learn all the things that I really love (because I do not want to stay at home) like: playing piano, playing squash, learning about decoration, learning about business to give financial advice, and so on . Finally, I would like to travel to Bora Bora with my family and friends and spend half of my day on the beach drinking any beverage made with coconut and eating fish. After that I would like to go the North Pole and rent a special transportation (tundra vehicles) to see the polar bears, the belugas, and at the end of the day see the aurora borealis inside a warm igloo with a big hole in the middle. In conclusion, although there are many things to do if I have a lot of money, the main important thing is share all of that I have with my family and friends.

A Delicious Way to Taste Colombian Flavors

In Colombia there are very famous restaurants where you can find many dishes and traditional Colombian food. One of then and my favorite place to go and enjoy the legendary Colombian flavor is call "El Corral". This restaurant does not need a lot of advertisement, in fact they use just a few billboards to show their products. Somehow, they have been recognized because they cook a very tasty and delicious fast food and in everywhere people talk about them. El Corral is very famous because people can find different kind of dishes in there. A list of their products includes: hamburgers, hot dogs, soup, corn, wraps, tacos and salads. All of these dishes are made with special ingredients from Colombia. For example, a hamburger is make with beans, egg, corn, guacamole, plantain and costenho cheese (a salty and common cheese in the Colombia'n coast). El Corral is also very attractive because they sell the most delicious french fries and meat for hamburgers in Colombia; both are made with secret and very delectable ingredients; because of that is easy to find people eating two or more packs of potatoes and hamburgers at the same time. Finally, El Corral has a really good milkshake in Bogota, they use different and exotic Colombian fruits to make milkshake, for example: guanabana with banana or mangoes with maracuya and many others combination. For all these reasons, El Corral is a very innovate place to eat different and taste the real Colombian flavor.
