Public transport

2008-10-27T20:12:00.000-07:00

Now we are going to compare public transpor between Peru and Colombia. Well, in Bogota, we have a similar way of transportation than in Peru, because here we can use Transmilenio and there they have Sistema metropolitano, both of them work with a series of buses that go along the city for a really low price. But in Peru the dont have Metro, like we have in Medellin. In Peru they also the omnibus, that works like a common bus here. The diffent thing is that in Peru they have really good streets for rural trucks, but in Colombia our rural street are really forgotten and full of guerrilla. In both countries we use cars, bicycles, taxis and airplanes, but in peru ins possible to go out without finding any traffic, in the important cities of Colombia we can`t go out without finding a lot of cars in your way. There's a lot of things we can do to make our country a better place to transport.

Carlos Vives and Christian Meier

I gonig to talk about two important person to South America. The first is Christian Meier, he is an important peruvian actor. The second is Carlos Vives, he is a famous colombian singer.

While Carlos Vives was an actor, Christian Meier wasn´t a singer. However, Christian Meier has a big talent for play the piano, and Carlos Vives has a hability with the acordeon. I prefer Carlos Vives to Christian Meier, because Carlos Vives is colombian and he is a vallenato singer. Vallenato music is my favorite sound.
