A group practicing their Spanish (according to the Colombian flag on the table) during the language exchange portion of the night. Copyright Gringo Tuesdays, Facebook page
There is a bar called La Villa right near our apartment and every Tuesday they hold an event called Gringo Tuesdays. Basically, people from everywhere- Colombians, Americans, Polish, Spaniards, Brits, Germans, French, whoever happens to be in Colombia at the moment, go there for a language exchange. People get into groups to practice whatever language they want to be practicing and just talk. It's a great place to meet people (not to mention good drink deals- two beers for $10,000 pesos, which is US $5). And then at 9, a DJ gets up--a DJ who also actually happens to be a famous Colombian supermodel-- and the whole place turns into a club, with a lot of American music. Not that I really came to Colombia to jam to American tunes. Not the best place to go if there are people who you would rather not run into, because it's pretty much the same crowd every week, but it's always a great time.
