As you’ll see in this post, sometimes people have trouble distinguishing what makes someone, or something (for example, a cat) Colombian. Well, we put the question to you guys to find out if there are any ways (besides a passport check) to tell if you are Colombian. Take heed.
This is an on-going post, so join in the fun!

We’ll add our favourites to the list.
You know you’re Colombian when…
You want to have arepa for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
You dress your baby for a Siberian winter expedition just to leave the house in 15°C Bogotá climate..
When you don’t sit fully on the warm seat on the bus
You miss a good ajiaco!
When you hear any type of music playing and it’s inevitable you move your body with its rhythm…
…and consequently, you are late
When You Say to everybody GOOD MORNING! THANK YOU! GOOD BYE! 😉
You are walking in the rain with minishorts, a tiny t-shirt without an umbrella
You say “que pena con usted” at least 10 times a day!
Every little meeting becomes a wild party!
You’re in another country and you hear ‘musica llanera’ and it makes you cry because you’re so far
You shout ‘GOOOOOOOOLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!’
You REALLY dont like to read Colombia misspelled as “Columbia”
You buy “un tintico” from a guy holding an old thermos on a street corner
You ask for something for free, they say ‘con gusto’ and then you pay for it anyway (‘me regalas un…’)
You have one of these in your car pic.twitter.com/POuYaM8F
When you start the day with a ‘cafesito’ and arepas! And end it celebrating with guaro!
When you cook arepas and hot chocolate and you miss your double cream cheese
When here in the USA you hear the music of your beloved country… and the other Latinos from other countries recognise that our Spanish is PERFECT!!!
When “aja y que” is a legitimate reply to anything on the coast.
You love a good arepita con quesito y chocolate for desayuno 🙂
1) Everybody is really tiny :p 2) When you spend $10,000 on one coffee
1) You don’t turn down a guaro because its “bad manners” 2) When a puente isn’t a bridge but an excuse to party!
