So my friend and I have compiled a nonsensical list of observations about Bolivia in our short 3 days here. These range from the useful and informative to the absurd and completely useless facts. Enjoy
- Children playing on the road- people are so casual here
- Glacier cherries and peach on a Hawaiian Pizza – why not? Evidently, someone bought mixed canned fruit instead of pineapple.
- People go for Jesus here in a big way.
- Unless you ask a specific question, down to the minutiae of detail, you will always get an answer which somewhat evades the truth
- If you want a smoothie, and you see one in a restaurant, buy it, as the next restaurant won’t have it.
- 80% of the menu will not be available
- 70% of the restaurants on Isla Del Sol will not be open
- Dinner tonight – “we have spaghetti, do you want that?” Looks like Spaghetti it is!
- Pigs scratching their butts on wood is hours of amusement for one and all
- Ask 1 question, get 20 different answers
- If you miss the boat (figuratively and literally) there is always another – and probably at the same price
- Don’t buy a return ticket when you buy your ticket to a place as it will tend to be your plans change.
- Bowler hats and long skirts are just as popular here as they are in Peru –FACT!
- Buses travel by ferry whilst you wait on the land
- Capacity of a boat is no deterrent to how many people you can actually fit on a boat. If it doesn’t sink – it will swim.
- Capacity of boats is a frame of mind
- A chocolate is 10 bolviianos – a night to sleep in a room with a bathroom and warmth, is 25 bolivianos –go figure!
- A beer is 1 bolivianos, a snickers is 10 bolivianos – ergo Beer is better than chocolate
- If you pronounce the one word incorrectly enough times ( for example, 4) then at some point there will be understanding . Por ejemplo (for example) eucalyptus, eucalyptus, eucalyptus, eucalyptus????? Ohhhhhh!!! Eucalypto!!
- Blatant lies are the norm. Not a misguidance or mistruth, just out right lies
- Graffiti makes things beautiful
- Timeliness and prompt arrival are vague concepts
That being said, we had a blast and loved visiting this interesting and dynamic country.
