  24. This is the way my country looks from the outside, now I want you to see it from the inside because this is how you will really get to know:
    How we are how we act and what we dream because if there is something with Colombian actually are is dreamers, and how they should not be up here if this is a magical Country full of colors, flavors, places, good people many, many good people. People who make us fall in that with the rhythm of accordions. People who bring us glory in sports, sweethearts, friends, children. We Colombians are ordinary people, people with problems, but who are nonetheless considered to be amongst the happiest under the sun. It takes a full year to get acquainted with all of our festivals and celebrations because we have one for every single day of the Year.
    The Barranquilla Carnival, the Cali fair, the International Book Fair, Rock at the Park, Colombia Moda, the Iberoamerican theater Festival which, by the way, it’s the biggest one in the world. All this shows that there is more to this country that meets the eye. There are oceans, beaches, all possible climates anytime of the year. Spanish colonial architecture, modern architecture, handicrafts for export, there is Progress, exquisite Coffee, countless beautiful women and Orchids. We have art, just think of Master Fernando Botero’s art, the man who has made the world love the chubby ones.
    We have musicians; see Juanes, a Grammy winner, one of the world’s top sellers. Shakira, the girl entirely countries have fallen in love with her songs and her hips moves. Carlos Vives, the only performer who has come up with the vallenato and rock mix. People in sports. See Juan Pablo Montoya, our F1 driver. See Camilo Villegas, such impeccable swing, such impeccable attire. We have writers, such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Nobel Prize winner. We have actors. These are just a tiny fraction of all talented Colombians. Because there are many more, we have the mob and all of them share one thing: passion, passion for life, for family, for nature and passion for peace. Perhaps now you will think definitely about my country because what I have just showed you reflect who we really are. Colombia is all about Colombians that’s why Colombia is passion.
