Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations: Colombia

My Opinion

Colombia is a wonderful country that has gone from drug capital to food capital. Discover the magic and unique cuisine of Colombia, must be something fascinating and exciting. So then Colombia has a great diversity that makes each place has a different color.

Foreigners may find people who speak badly about Colombia. That must be annoying for Colombians, now that our history has taken a big change. People who come to Colombia have only one danger: “Not wanting to return to their countries”.

In Colombia, the foreigners could see and eat the variety of fruits that our country has. That must be amazing for them. In addition, many fruits have many types, for example there are five types of mangoes and four types of orange. Also, in our country, they could enjoy a variety of food that makes different and unique each place. That must be surprising for them.

Medellin is one of Colombia’s cities marked with drug history. That must be frightening for many foreigners. For this, they don’t like to come here. However, when they take risks and they come to Medellin, they find a place full of different cultures and traditions rather than a place full of drugs and war. That must be very shocking for them, so their image was other. Besides, that is very pleasing for people of Medellin.

Anthony Bourdain decided to take the risk and come to Colombia to learn about our current lifestyle. Therefore, I think it must be very satisfying for us that people like him want to change their image about our city and country.
