I have a good one. At my Spanish summer camp ...Hah! I have a good one. At my Spanish summer camp (Concordia Language Villages) we (consejeros) have to present these skits to the kids every day at lunch about spanish-speaking culture/traditions/customs. One day my group and I did one about how in Colombia and Venezuela, instead of pointing with their finger at something, they literally use their lips and sort of 'pucker' in the direction of whatever they want to point at. <BR/><BR/>So for the skit we pretended 2 of us were silly gringas and 2 people were from colombia and venezuela, and we asked them which way something was and then proceeded to act grossed out because they looked like they wanted to kiss us. We used that because one of my friends in the group was from Colombia, and another one had done volunteer work in Venezuela, so he noticed the gesture and how different it was.Ms. Kloeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542336507343633636noreply@blogger.com
