PERSONAL INFORMATION
My name is Yolanda Hernandez, I was born in Bogotá. I am
very responsible and a committed person. I study online at the
Unad Virtual, because I also work all day long and for me it is
not possible to leave extra time to go to the university to
attend their schedule. We do many things together but only on
weekends, because we have to work and study during the
weekdays. On Saturdays, we have lunch at home and then we
watch some t.v. on Sundays we wake up very early in the
morning to have a delicious, typical Colombian breakfast, tamal
con chocolate, caldo de Costilla y huevos pericos. After that,
we go to a mass to the Catholic Church. Then, we go to the
ciclovia to do some exercise and then, we have lunch in an important restaurant of
our amazing city, Bogotá, where we live.
BOGOTÁ MY CITY
Bogotá is the capital city and the biggest city
in Colombia, Bogotá has a population of
around 8million people. Bogotá has many
tourist places, just like monuments, museums,
parks and shopping centers, indeed, this city is
known as the city of the shopping malls.
You see in the picture above, Bogotá is a very
big and beautiful city, with tall buildings and
huge mountains that you can visit too.
What I like the most from Bogotá, is the variety of
meals and typical plates, such as, “bandeja paisa” from
Medellin, “Cocido Boyacense” from Boyacá,
“Ñame, pescao, patacon pisao and boyo e yuca” from
La costa, “Mamona” from los Llanos Orientales,
“Arepa y tamal Santandereanos” from Santander
and “Ajiaco” from Bogotá, just like the one you can
see in the picture, which is my favorite and which I am
cooking for next Saturday. To find all that variety
and delicious food, there are many famous restaurants
we have all around the city. For example, Las Acacias,
El Pórtico, and Casa Vieja (San Diego) located in the
Candelaria town, among others.
Whenever you want to come to know better our wonderful city, you
are welcome to this paradise. Certainly, when you come, you cannot
forget to go to “Monserrate” the most famous and significant
touristic place of Bogotá, and where you can also have a delicious
hot chocolate with tamal and almojabana.
