Weird Stuff You See in Bolivia

Onwards to the capital, La Paz, which even though it has a couple million of people, still kinda feels like a rural town somehow...


The streets are super chaotic...





 And then you see some unique stuff...

Memo to all Bolivian marketers... Fundamentalist muslim terrorists tend NOT to project the right brand image...

Again, unfortunate branding for a travel agency...

My personal favorite is the government´s slightly surreal, sword-rattling propaganda... Despite being a landlocked country, Bolivia does have a navy (stationed on lake Titicaca). But apparently Evo thinks he can grab back access to the coast from Chile. Good luck mate... It's probably just some demagoging for reelection though...


 And then we have the people in zebra costumes at the zebra crossings. I'm totally serious... these guys have flags to facilitate crossings... They're very friendly zebras, eager to high five everyone...

But things get REALLY weird at the witches market...

And downright grotesque...


And the quintessential Bolivian image of a Cholita selling stuff on the street...

Bolivia is a trip...
