Hi!
Welcome to "Why not Spanish?"
My name is Maria and today I brought you to a fair
of Colombian business entrepreneurship.
Let's see what's around here.
Well, let's go find food.
I am very hungry and
I brought
my waterproof boots,
an umbrella,
but look at this sun.
I'm missing a cap.
Hello,
Good afternoon.
I'm hungry.
Where am I going to eat?
You continue towards pavilion number three, then you follow these, you go to the next one,
and you will find the restaurants.
well,
Thank you
Gastronomic market, finally.
I don't know if it happens to you, but many years ago,
when I got hungry, I got a bad mood
that no one could stand me.
But I have changed.
Does it happen to you?
What are you going to eat?
I think I'm going to eat Arabic food.
This is,
this is hot.
I didn't bring a hat or anything, not even a cap.
I think I'm going to order a mixed vegetarian platter .
Bring lentils, falafel,
hummus, tabule and Arabic bread.
Good afternoon.
Hello,
How are you?
Fine thanks.
sell me please
two Arabic mixed dishes?
Ready, two mixed Arabic plates. .
Yes.
Thank you.
"Empanadas?"
Uy!, they are delicious. champions
So me too.
Imagine, they are little dough and a lot of filling.
What a treat.
What do they want?
We have to
spinach, meat or caprese?
I want spinach.
Now yes, to eat.
Because shopping hungry...
It is a bad idea.
Then we make bad decisions, and no.
I'm going to show you what we're going to eat.
This is Cody's plate
and this is mine.
It is practically the same.
Bon Appetite.
(noise)..
If you see? It already started to rain again.
The climate of Bogota
is like that, so
Let's go there.
Well, we are at an entrepreneurship fair
of Colombian businesses.
Young businesses that don't have much time
and I think most of them are Colombian.
So I'm very happy because I'm taking the opportunity to buy the
Christmas gifts at once and incidentally support the
Colombian young companies.
There is everything around here and now we are in a park in Bogotá that
It is called "El Parque Country", which is in the town of Usaquén,
north of the city, and this park is huge and I used to
be a polo field, I think a few years ago.
I don't know if the district bought it or I don't know what happened,
but the park opened its doors to the public and now all Bogota citizens
have the pleasure of enjoying this outdoor space.
Cody just bought the best cookies in the world.
According to him.
we bought everything, this is getting out of control.
Well, when you're trying on clothes or
shoes, one says: can I measure it?
right?
Or can I try it on? can I measure it?
Can I try it on? and how do I look?
Nice! Not, in Spanish.
Very good, excellent.
Guess. How do I look?
Looks Good.
It looks bad on you
It is too big.
It's too small for you.
Ah, that's something else.
The sizes, the sizes here in
Colombia also go for XS, S, small, medium,
large, y extra large.
And we say: XS, S,
M, L, XL.
When they are ready to buy, you can say I'll take it,
I'm take it because it's a jacket, I'm take it.
If it's a masculine noun, I'll take it.
do you take it? - I take it
you take it
Then,
Which one?
The XS?..
XS,
XS.
Ready.
Bye.
Thank you very much. - Bye, bye...
a hug and
A kiss.
look at him,
look at him, look at him
how does he eat his cookie
Well I took the jacket
and I am very happy.
I needed something for the heavy rains in my beloved city, Bogotá.
Let's drink?
Yes, Let's drink , - I'm dry,
I'm dry, because there were many samples of food,
we ate everything.
we bought a lot of things too.
And I like it.
I am happy because there are many people at this fair buying things from
Colombian entrepreneurship, great!
Well, it's time to wear this jacket for the first time.
let's see if we find anything
to drink because we are dry,
yes or no cody? - Yes
But look.
Let's go buy an ice cream.
There are some ice creams that they sell here, which they also sell near our
home, but today they are also here.
They are flavored ice creams
very rare and
unusual.
Yes, and they are very good.
Let's see if we can buy one.
These are the coffee flavors with Nutella,
passion fruit with chocoramo,
banana with Nutella, avocado,
cheese with
morsel,
I'm going to order one of.
Hello
Good afternoon.
Welcome.
Thanks. Can you sell me,
please,
a lollipop of
"Lulada"
perfect
I bought a lollipop from "Lulada" ,
that you can do it with "Lulo".
"Lulo" is a fruit
very acidic citrus.
It looks like an orange, but it has little hairs around it.
And then no,
You can't eat like that, just like that,
but it must be like in dessert or in juice,
because it is very acidic.
mmm... yes, you can feel the taste of lulo
Do you want to try?
No, thanks.
I don't know if you remember that I told you that this used to be a polo field.
Well, here are the stables where the horses were kept.
And now they're being used for...
For stores.
For startup stores
What are we seeing today
Cool, right?
In this fair there is a little bit of everything.
There are sales of clothing, decoration,
of food, things for the kitchen,
live music.
Cody had a few cravings for pizza.
We bought a slice of pizza
supreme name.
Bring
mushrooms, tomato,
- olives. -olives, salami.
How is it?
Very good
I just got a 20% discount
in glasses
(noise)...
I have not bought them, but I have 20% discount.
Life is Beautiful.
Well, this is the first fair of this type that I have come to.
It seemed very cool to me.
Very interesting.
mmm... a fair.
Gomela
As
little finger up.
But it's cool,
I had never come
to something like that.
It's very nice.
Very interesting.
It's worth it
I do not regret.
Well done.
I think we're going home now.
Yes, let's go home.
It's getting cold.
It's already dark.
I'm sleepy.
We are already over 30 years old.
We are already tired.
It's Friday night.
We already want to go to sleep.
We are old.
Yes, we are already at that age.
It's too late.
Ya son las 06:30. - it's past my bedtime.
You have to go to sleep now.
Let's go home.
tomorrow i will show you
some things I bought.
Some are gifts.
I'm already buying presents for Christmas.
For some people, most are for me.
But yes, I'm not going to lie,
most things are for me
and for you.
Some things.
.... jaja
Well, now we are from home.
It's the next day.
I'm going to show you some of the things
that we got yesterday at the fair.
Most of the things we got were things to eat.
We love to eat.
Cody loves spicy things.
the sauces, the chili, and all that.
So we curiously bought this chili that is also called
Codi, but they write it differently,
but we have already tried it.
It is very good, but they had different flavors
that we couldn't find elsewhere.
We also bought a lot of chocolate; colombian cocoa
grown on farms here in Colombia.
So we thought it was a very nice project
And also look at the cute packaging.
There were different types of chocolate: white,
dark chocolate, milk chocolate.
So, well, here's enough chocolate
for us and to give away.
There were also these snacks that are like peanuts and
different mixtures of... yes, snacks.
For example, this one has chickpea,
beans, corn. well,
and it has such spices as to put it in salads,
like delicious, right?
We really like tea here.
My favorite is black tea and Cody really likes green tea.
Me with green tea, oops!
I can't, but I'm trying.
I swear I'm trying.
And we saw this, like this business where
they sold things made with matcha tea.
I don't like matcha tea.
I don't know, I think it's an acquired taste,
but i'm trying
I'm trying to...
To find a taste for it because I think it has many benefits.
So we bought these, I don't know,
such as, infusions, tea mixes,
let's see what's up To test, right? hair perfume,
so that it smells delicious.
a black notebook
with black paper
with his white pen.
The boy said that any type of pen can be used.
Obviously not dark.
Then it will be like for a gift.
This one is for Cody and the other one is a gift for someone.
And well, I bought this.
Look at this beauty of...
I don't know, poster.
Posted.
I don't know, it's framed.
This is a frame and I'm going to put it in my office.
In my office, where I have the computer,
I have another, another poster,
another decoration, which is a map of Colombia very
nice, which I also bought from another company that sells things here in
Colombia, another Colombian company, so I'm completing the wall
with Colombian things, I found it very nice.
What do you think?
And well, you know,
I think this was the most expensive thing I bought.
It was this jacket.
This waterproof jacket I love it.
I said that this year I was not going to buy any more clothes.
I said it, I said it.
But
This is the first thing I buy this year.
Ok?
Of clothes. Besides, I needed it, I don't have a waterproof jacket and
With these climates in Bogotá, I think it is necessary.
I don't know about you, but it personally gives me a lot of
emotion to go shopping in person.
Shopping online is not the same as shopping in person.
I prefer a thousand times to buy in person,
although of course I see the practicality and usefulness of going to
buy on the internet, but it is not the same.
It doesn't give me like that emotion, like that feeling
that I had yesterday, very cool.
What do you think about that? what do you prefer?
shopping in person or online?
Something that caught my attention was the friendliness of the people.
Yes, I know that they are businesses and that people want to sell,
but, the interactions you have with people are...
they feel very genuine, very friendly,
very friendly.
There is plenty of room for conversation.
So I found this exchange of products very interesting,
of cultures, of conversations,
a very pleasant space to use Spanish.
So with that I say goodbye for today.
That's all for this video.
Thank you very much for watching, for joining us.
