Cultural and humanitarian cooperation

Peculiarities of the country

1. Age is highly respected in Colombia, so the older a man is, the more influence he has.

2. Almost all Colombians formally address each other as "you", e.g. parents to children, brother to sister and even pet owners to their pets. The Caribbean region is an exception. This is not a sign of respect for interlocutor - it is simply a habit acquired in childhood.

3. There is a tradition to give bouquets with an even number of flowers rather than an odd number.
