Homeland

Central Bogota skyline

Bogota is my hometown and it's the capital of Colombia. In Bogota, there are many places to visit. The most famous placeis Monserrate which is a Catholic church that is located is on top of a mountain and people must climb the mountain to see it.  Around the church there are many restaurants and the view is amazing, I liked this place so much.

In my hometown, there are a variety of restaurants. I remember one restaurant that is called ‘The Toy Shop’ and looks the same as a toy shop. This restaurant is very famous and the food is very good.

The weather in my hometown is so nice and perfect for me, not too cold and not too hot, it’s the same as spring in Canada.

Bogota is a big city and has too many things to do.

I do not like that my city is not safe. Due to the poverty that exists in my country, they steal a lot on the streets or anywhere. The traffic is also terrible because there are no large highways  and there are too many cars.
