5 days Ago, I went to eat with my girlfriend to a nice restaurant in the north of Bogota,
everything was wonderful until the exit was very late and we decided to look for a taxi. But
that Saturday night taxis were filled and we are not stopped, we walked by a solitary street
and thieves but they chased us walk fast and we got into a store. There we call our parents
we were collected and we was scolded as though I was for being so late that night in this
place.
All it was worth it but I will leave for the next sooner and everything will be great.
