Contrary to general public perception, Colombia is really not a jungle with only rainforests and tribal people. You may be pleased to know that Bogota has shopping malls! In fact, many of them. Shopping malls are sporing perhaps because people only feel safe when they are out of the streets inside the shopping mall.

You’d definitely feel really ‘safe’ if your trunk has to be checked by the security dogs whenever you enter a shopping mall parking lot.. It’s nice to be always greeted by the retrievers, labs and German shepherds. However you also have to witness scenes of animal abuse by most guards. And it’s obvious from the eyes of these beautiful canines that they are not happy.
