After two weeks in Bolivia, the roommate and I have decided on a few things Bolivia could use:
1. vending machines (but only if we can use our flex dollars)
2. turkey-apparently they don't thrive in the altiplano?
3. more crosswalks, or more people dressed like zebras to help people get across the street (this is not a joke)
4. golf carts-to help us get up the hill (aka MOUNTAIN) to the university every morning
5. warning signs over the gaping holes in the sidewalks
6. Dr. Pepper (really thats just cause I'm an addict, and I actually saw some in the markets in El Zono Sur)
7. better. internet.
Some things that Bolivia has that the US could use:
1. 75 cent bootleg DVDs
2. amazing beds (the beds in Sucre were especially lovely)
3. a gray market (we got our cell phones there)
4. super fresh fruit (nom nom nom)
5. saya
6. awesome weather
7. graffiti (not really, but its cool to look at)
OK, I'll bite: What is saya?
ReplyDeleteits that cool kinda afro inspired music we saw being performed on the museum night. lots of drums and beats and yelling. draws a real bohemian crowd, but its really cool. I have a video, but i don't even dare to try to upload it here
ReplyDeleteI will look forward to seeing the video when you do post it, and to hearing some of those 75-cent bootleg DVDs that I know you must be acquiring - ha
ReplyDeleteor are those movies?
