Then perhaps you should head to Colombia. Seriously. No, I am not suggesting that the Colombian people have naturally larger butts than any other people, but Colombia offers extremely cheap plastic surgery. What does that have to do with big butts, you are likely asking yourself? Well, for some unknown reason it is very popular for women to have butt implants, as well as breast implants. Often on the same woman (that is a whole lotta silicone...). I have a bit of trouble wrapping my head around anyone actually wanting to pay for more junk in their trunk (I have some extra in case anyone wants any....), considering in North America there are industries devoted to helping women lessen the load in their derriere. I initially was just assuming it was cultural, but this week J and I had salsa class together with our teacher, Miguel (who, for the record, is 17 years old). We were talking about the popularity of butt implants here in Colombia and talked about women in north America working hard for smaller bums. As soon as the words were spoken he immediately asked why and looked horrified. He then called to one of the other male dancers on the sxhool's team and told him what we had just said and his response was the same.
Definitely cultural.
We have been in Cali for almost three weeks and we have been going to a salsa bar on Monday nights where there is an overwhelming amount of silicone. I was not aware of this, but there is a reason for that. Apparently the club is often frequented by a lot of the drug dealers (or 'narcotraficantes' en español) go there. Again, what does this have to do with plastic surgery? Allegedly, once they are making good money they will often pay to have their women get a little bit more plastic....
What the h? Anyways, if you like big butts, Colombia is the place for you. However, if you aren't into butts that are strangely shaped and look like someone has pumped them up with a bicycle pump, maybe not the best place to go looking....
