Bogota is a very big city. Sometimes too big. This could be the reason why people from bogota sometimes leave the big-city-life for a weekend. They go to small villages or towns where they find peace. They can rest their for at least 2 or 3 days. Well, this weekend was a longer weekend because monday was a free day. So me and my friends went to FUSA, 2 hours out of Bogota

Buildings and areas look totaly different than the capitol:

Transport in Fusa. well the busses are small, but they do their work.

)

A small shop to buy little things. For sure, 100 metres far away is a supermarket for more things.

It was sunday. So the people meet in the midle of the town to talk and the children to play. The church is exaclty the middle of the town:

A restaurant with music and nice people

In the evening when the sun goes down, you can drink fruit-juices or a beer in nice bars

you meet a lot of strange people and things. Here you live completely different.

you could say it is boring there, but the people who live their since years, they do not know it different. They live their life there.

For big-city-kids like me, i am sure I would be borred after 2 weeks in a town like Fusa. But to rest and to go away from the big-city it is perfect to chill a little bit arround there.
Honestly, this small town remembers me more in colombia than Bogotá. For me it seems more traditional. Before I went to colombia I imagined colombia exactly like Fusa. My Video will show you better impessions of that town.
