When I was a child
I AM 20 YEARS OLD AND I WAS BORN IN JUNE 26TH IN 1987. SOME YEARS BEFORE THINGS IN MY LIFE WERE VERY DIFFERENT. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I LIKED TO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS AND PARENTS AT HOME.
I USED TO GO TO SCHOOL AND I PLAYED A LOT WITH MY COUSINS. BUT NOW IT IS DIFFERENT. NOW I SPEND MY TIME WITH FRIENDS, GOING OUT, DANCING, PLAYING CARDS, KARAOKE, ETC.
ALSO THINGS IN UNIVERSITY CHANGED FOR ME BECAUSE SCHOOL’S LIFE IS EASIER IT WAS A PERSONALIZED SCHOOL AND THEACHERS THERE, GUIDED AND SUPPORTED ME IN ALL MY PROGRESS AND PROCESS.
NOW IN THE UNIVERSITY NOBODY IS TAKING CARE OF ME, LIKE IN SCHOOL AND BECAUSE OF THAT RESPONSIBILITY IS SO MUCH BIGGER.
BUT THERE ARE ALSO THINGS THAT HAVE NO CHANGE AT ALL. I STILL SPEND AND SHARE TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND I KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MY COUSINS. WE USE TO REMEMBER THINGS WE USED TO DO.
FINALLY I THINK THAT GROWING UP IS GOOD, IF YOU NEVER LOOSE SENCILLEZ AND THE ABILITY OF GET SURPRISED BY LITTLE THINGS THE SAME WAY WHEN WE WERE KIDS.

BOGOTÁ AND CARTAGENA
Bogotá is an enormous and modern city. There are many shopping malls, restaurants and places to spend your time. Some years ago, the status of Bogota was very different and difficult because the streets were damaged and the pavement did not resist the weight of the cars and buses. Now a days, these are built in order to meet the needs of the city.
Bogota has changed into a highly touristic city where foreign people can do business and buy goods that they can only buy here.
A few years ago, the distances were enormous and the means of transportation weren’t not only insufficient but also expensive. %0 years ago, there was a net of trams, but things have changed dramatically and so does the transportation means. The capital now counts with an infrastructure of buses, taxis, Transmilenio and a large number of particular cars.
During these years, Bogotá has changed from a small city into an enormous and modern city

....HALLOWEEN....
Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses". The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day", also which is now known as All Saints' Day. Some modern Halloween traditions developed out of older pagan traditions, especially surrounding the Irish holiday Samhain, a day associated both with the harvest and otherworldly spirits. Halloween is now celebrated in several parts of the Western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia and New Zealand.
Many European cultural traditions, in particular Celtic cultures, hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent.
Scotland:
Halloween, known in Scottish Gaelic as "Oidhche Shamhna", consists chiefly of children going door to door "guising", i.e., dressed in a disguise (often as a witch or ghost) and offering entertainment of various sorts. If the entertainment is enjoyed, the children are rewarded with gifts of sweets, fruits or money. There is no Scottish 'trick or treat' tradition; on the contrary, 'trick or treat' has its origins in the guising customs.
Australia and New Zealand:
In the southern hemisphere, spring is in full swing by October 31, and the days are rapidly growing longer and brighter. This does not mesh well with the traditional Celtic spirit of Halloween, which relies on an atmosphere of the encroaching darkness of winter. However, Halloween has recently gained a large amount of recognition in Australia and to a moderate extent New Zealand, largely due to American media influences, with many young families in Australia embracing the tradition.
On Halloween night, horror films and horror-themed TV episodes are traditionally aired, Halloween private parties are more commonly held than actual "trick-or-treating", however both are still observed.
