This is a truck, kind of a bus. It is called "CHIVA". We use it to travel around any city. There is a party that has to be a lot with the chiva, it is called "LA FIESTA DE LA COSECHA". It is about to get into the chiva and then travel around the city until next day. Some people travel all around the city like for 5 days, and they stop at hotels and then continue with the (party)  rumba for the next 5 days!!. The chiva is a tiphycal car, that is use only to go to a trip, parties like " la fiesta de la cosecha. We don;t use it to took people to their houses, it is only use for especial occasions.

If I had to choose between living in N.Y and living in   Colombia, it would be like choosing between my friends and    my parents. I like to live in here, but also in Colombia, and if I  go to my country I would miss my friends, and all the beautiful  things that New York has. For example in spring, the leaves of the trees gets red, yellow. In the other side in winter the leaves and the flowers of the trees fell off. They look very nice with snow and the beautiful lights that people put on some of them.   Also you can even even smell the fresh air of the winter, but even that in Colombia didn’t snow. I like to live there too, because is always summer, and I feel like more familiar and comfortable with my Colombian people right there.
