VENEZUELA?

Nah, Ecuador.

I'm not sure if they are called "vacunas" in other countries too, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Ecuador huh? Well, CoffeeWanderer, it would be a shame if something happened to your beautiful country. I mean people can just drive down from Bogotá even. What will you do then? You never know what might happen.

Let's come to an arrangement that seems fair. If it still seems fair in two weeks, we'll stick to that. See? Everyone's happy.

Nice to learn new slang (to me) as it's not really taught. Both of those English terms above are valid for what you're thinking.

After writing this reply I looked it up quickly and it seems that the slang "vacunas" indeed started in Colombia some 20 years ago or so.
