I had heard that it was a very traditional place, so I was happy to go. At the restaurant, the waiter brought us bowls of rice to eat with our chopsticks. In a moment, I had to go to the bathroom, so I put my chopsticks into my rice and left. When I came from the bathroom, the restaurant was completely silent. Everyone was looking at me. My friend told me that the manager had asked us to leave because of what I had done. Later, I discovered that in China, putting your chopsticks into the rice is considered an offense. aromerogestora10 https://padlet.com/aromerogestora10/bzeliu36gv5nh1s9/wish/2480745143 2023-02-14 02:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aromerogestora10/bzeliu36gv5nh1s9/wish/2480745143 Ana Gabriela Torres Olaya Y Daniel Alejandro Cuevas Avila https://padlet.com/aromerogestora10/bzeliu36gv5nh1s9/wish/2482699991 the last week, i was in cartagena, here, i was eating in a restaurant and the waiter had given me the account, however, the account was very expensive, the food had ugly but i had pay, i paid and i had going to hotel but in the street i was have a hit whit other car.]]> 2023-02-14 23:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aromerogestora10/bzeliu36gv5nh1s9/wish/2482699991 Two year ago, we were in Spain. they had been celebrate an specific event, it was "The Tomatina".

When i finished my food and I was about to pay, the waiter asked me for a very expensive tip, wich was completely ridicoulous taking into account that the food price was totally unfair already so I just took my things and left the place without paying, not even the food.

I told the man that the drinks were served to give me a margarita blue, I said this the other way around. The one at the bar told me that that's not what that drink was called, that it was blue margarita, at that moment I told him. So say it the other way around, did you understand it or not? I was clearly upset when I said it because I really bothered with that comment. At that moment he asked me if I was Colombian, I answered him in a sharp tone that yes. He replied, for good reason Colombians are very rude, they can't stand anything. I left the drink served and asked for it from another man who prepared drinks.

That was an embarrassing history about our traveling, it was an awkward moment, but we also laughed a lot.
