Vamos a la playa: Gringa in Latin America, part 2 First part: https://www.italki.com/entry/725905 3. Spend time with a family I was surprised that young people in South America visit their grandparents every Sunday for having a lunch or dinner together. It's not really common thing in my country, but I found this tradition absolutely beautiful! It's very nice to spend some time with your family, share news and rumors, cook something together and have fun! 4. Pura Vida! It came from Costa Rica, but we can use it all around the world. We need to enjoy the moment right now! Doesn't matter what's going on. I used to complain a lot and still have a lot of things around I don't like. But once I decided: if I can't change it, I need to stop paying my attention to it. But if I can change it, I should do it and stop complaining! So my aim is to enjoy my life and ignore things that interrupt me in this mission!.. 5. We are equal This lesson is the most important for me. Before I went to Latin America, I heard a lot of really bad things about people there. Surely, it was a bullshit. They are NOT dangerous, they are NOT stupid, they are NOT worse than people in Europe! They are the same people as we are in Europe or in Africa. I know a lot of nice people from Latin America, Europe and Asia.. It doesn't matter where you were born, how many people live in your hometown, what is your skin color, etc. The most important thing is not to be an asshole. I know I will come back there really soon (voices in my head), because I really miss this land of freedom and endless summer. Latin America is always in my heart!
