This is my personal favorite place to shop for home decor. It’s the hub of the neighborhood and I get to see a lot of the same shops on the same days as the rest of the town. The first time I stopped here, I was really struck by how many of the shops are small and intimate and don’t necessarily have a big display of home décor, but it’s still a pretty sweet shop.
That said, I have to admit that many of the shops here are closed on weekends. It’s mostly just during the week and then on a holiday weekend.
I think its because of the weather. People do get a ton of work done when it’s sunny, but the weather is also pretty unpredictable. Also, a lot of people in Colombia are really picky about what they shop for. They don’t want something just because it’s beautiful. They want a lot of options and that means a lot more shops closed on a Sunday.
Colombians don’t like to shop on Sunday because they think it’s disrespectful. The truth of the matter is that most Colombians don’t shop on Sundays because they don’t have the money to spend on food, clothing, and other necessities.
The problem is that Colombians shop on Sundays because they dont have the money to spend, so they think its disrespectful for a shopkeeper to close on a Sunday. Unfortunately, Colombians dont really shop on Sundays because they think its disrespectful to shop on a Sunday. The truth of the matter is, that Colombians shop on Sundays because they dont have enough money to spend, so they think its disrespectful for a shopkeeper to close on a Sunday.
Colombians shop on Sundays because they think its disrespectful to shop on a Sunday. The truth of the matter is, that Colombians shop on Sundays because they dont have enough money to spend, so they think its disrespectful for a shopkeeper to close on a Sunday. Colombia is a country with a very active social welfare system, and many people are unemployed (more than 70% of the people aged 15–60 are unemployed). So Colombians dont really care if a shop is closed on a Sunday.
Colombians shop on Sundays because they think it is disrespectful to shop on a Sunday, but the truth is they shop on Sundays because they do not have enough money to spend, so they think its disrespectful for a shopkeeper to close on a Sunday. Colombians are a very poor country with a very active social welfare system, so they think that closing a shop on a Sunday is disrespectful to them as well.
In fact, Colombians are extremely poor. I mean, they are poor when it comes to money, but on a percentage basis, they are extremely poor. On average, Colombians are ranked #5 among all countries in terms of per capita income.
This reminds me of a scene in the film “Taxi Driver”. A taxi driver takes a very long route home. Every now and then he looks back, and he sees a very long road ahead. Then he starts to drive faster. Finally, he starts to run. I mean, he’s running. He’s running from cops. He’s running from robbers. He’s running from robbers. He’s running from the cops.
That is a very long way to “home,” but Colombians do have a tendency to live in “homes” that are, by law, only 50 to 60% of their value. This makes it very easy for them to obtain the much needed money.
