You Can Tell How Much Wealth Someone Has By The Number of Balconies On Their Home/Business

This is a photo of a street in the Old City in Cartagena, Colombia. Go ahead, click on the photo for a larger shot with much more detail.
Only the wealthy have balconies/verandahs and so the more you have on your home or business the wealthier you are (or so we were told by our tour guide).

I am so glad that I clicked on the little picture at your other site.

I have always wondered what it was and where it went.

Now I know and I love it!!

Have a great day!:-))))

wow..colombians have simplistic view in evaluating wealth. For me dont judge a book by its cover..someone dresses so simple may possess millions in his bank account

That is interesting, I had no idea. The house looks like some of the ones from the historic district of St. Augustine. Many of them had balconies also and now I know why.

Really? Seriously? Then that's a dead giveaway to those thieves. They already know which house to rob. hahahaha

Just came to drop my EC too.
