How to make friends with a Colombian
Colombians are very friendly but lately they have certain stereotypes towards gringos because there are many who have come.
Something that, due to the violence in Colombia, had never been seen.
It is the first time that people want to come to the country.
Unfortunately, many gringos come to degenerate and that is why the stereotype increases so much.
However, it is easy for a Colombian to like you. Colombians are friendly.
If you talk to them about Diomedes Díaz, it's as if you were their brother. they will literally adore you.
Diomedes is the most charismatic person Colombia has ever had. A genius. From absolute poverty to being the most listened to singer in Colombia. Authentic. Cheerful and funny.
He had scandals for a woman's death, but evidently he was not guilty. Another day I'll tell you that story.
You don't have to pretend. Look up the music of Diomedes and if you find it interesting or if you like it, tell the Colombians that.
The other way is by simply being friendly. Interested in Colombian culture. Saying words like "parcero", "bacan" "llave", will make you feel close.
Don't mention anything about Pablo Escobar. It doesn't bother me but because I'm a genius. Most Colombians will feel offended if you talk to them about drugs.
Have a good time and they will make you feel at home. Colombians like people who are interested in their culture. That speaks specific things. They feel appreciated.
Knowing about Feid, Jbalvin or Shakira will make people proud and you will become friendly very easily.
Talk about the bandeja paisa, arepa de huevo and those typical foods too.
Just pick some music or food that you really like and mention some of it when you meet a Colombian and they will magically like you.
