A List

Things that surprise me about Bolivia:

- Joni Mitchell, Phil Collins, and Cat Stevens are all WAY more popular here. If you aren´t listening to spanish rap-hop in a taxi, then it´s probably one of these musical geniusi. ¡Bien Hecho!
- People dress nicer than I do.
- Not everyone is good at soccer.
- Wives will not tolerate cheating husbands.
- There really ARE rabid dogs.
- Alcoholism is no joke.
- My height draws more stares than the color of my skin.
- They have their own version of Judge Judy meets Jerry Springer called Caso Cerrado. And it´s awesome.
- Blowing things up is a national pasttime. Usually it´s just fireworks.
- You can´t hear any freeways at night.
- Beds come in two sizes: Small and Smaller.
- Pillows come in one size: Lumpy.
- People usually prefer to help you over taking your money.
- It´s really not all that different.
