  • it's for two people that's right i mean uh  the appetite of the people in this part of  

  • the world and the the amount that they can  consume there was a table right next to us  

  • those six or seven guys they were eating like  i mean full full portions individually each one  

  • and on top of that a liter of beer yeah another  thing to notice in this little town of uh colonia  

  • is that when you're gonna cross the streets  even the avenues that don't have traffic lights  

  • the cars when they see somebody going on the  street will stop automatically okay and they will  

  • give you the right of way but in some of these  other latin american countries you cannot just

  • run you all for you pedestrian it seems like the  drivers they have a sight on top of the steering  

  • wheel for pedestrians you know they put you on  the site and they aim and they try to get you  

  • you know because there's something else you know  like i mean you don't know how to jump but here  

  • we were amazingly surprised very encouraging very  good another surprise today that i'll mention is  

  • when we went to the restaurant and it was time to  pay i paid with a foreign card a foreign visa card  

  • and they discount the tax automatically like  as a foreigner you don't pay tax the sales  

  • tax yeah here is called the eva yeah and it'll  show it on the receipt yeah it removes the text
