Colombian faces

By Brae:

Sometimes ladies on the street smile at me and Oren and ruffle our hair when they walk past us when we are on our way to school. Other times, like once when I was in the supermarket with my mum, the lady behind us in the queue was telling the check out lady and the man who was helping with the packing to look at the colour of my eyes and my skin and freckles. She was doing it in a nice way because our eyes are a different colour than the people here, because nearly everyone in Colombia has brown eyes.

We think that everyone knows that we are English.

Imagine if everyone in Colombia did not like us or gave us funny looks or were unfriendly because our skin and eyes were a different colour. That would make our trip to Colombia not fun at all. I wish that everyone in the world was like Colombian people because they seem to be friendly to people even if they look really different.

Here are some photos of different Colombian faces that my mum took at carnival. You can see that they don’t look much like me but I like looking at all the different faces here.
