-"Have you gained weight?" "You look fatter."
-"How much do you get paid?"
-"Are you on your period? Because your face is breaking out more than usual."
Obviously to American ears, these questions and comments are more than likely to surprise,bother, or offend us. But I'm beginning to understand that these are all perfectly normal things to say, with no intention to offend, so now I'm less taken aback.
It makes me wonder, conversely, what topics are normal for Americans but "taboo" in Colombia. Even after so much time here, I haven't put my finger on many. Still doing my research :)
