With only ten days left in beautiful Bolivia, its time to make a TOP Ten list, of ´
the very best reasons why everyone needs to come visit this incredible country:
10. 1:7. 1 USD: 7 Bolivianos. Street food: 1$; 1L Beer: 3.50$; Fancy dinner; 20$. Potentially saving money when traveling, priceless. Then deciding to spend more because everything is so cheap, typical.
9. Tuffis and minibuses. A way more fun, cheap and incredibly inefficent form of public transportation
8. Un beso por la doctora, cutest tradition ever. Hospital des Niños is such a great place to work.
7. This country has so many different climates, terrains and incredible sites. Salar de Uyuni is pretty incredible in an arid wasteland sort of way, like Mars I imagine. Ilsa del Sol is definitely beautiful enough to have been the birthplace of a few dieties. And the amazon has its own sort of magic thats pretty indescribable.
6. Small children speaking a foriegn language is the cutest thing I have ever seen. And it also makes me feel a little stupid because a two year old can speak better spanish than I can.
5. Latin Music is just more fun to dance to. Sorry, pop and hiphop, its not you, its me.
4. La Paz. Sitting in a valley surrounded by mountains and city lights, while the altitude has you breathing hard, the city takes your breath away.
3. Street food. Salteñas, Empanadas, fritas, salchipapas, Lomito, kebabs, pizza cones, api and these weird funnel cakes. All delicious, all for less than bus fair in Calgary.
2. Getting to experience both the tourist circut and local life of La Paz with my fellow do-gooders has allowed me to meet some incredibly unique and interesting folks. Thanks for all the foody nights, salsa nights, starry nights, movie nights, bike rides, boat rides, bus rides, car rides, and plane rides that brought us here.
1. Everything sounds sexier in spanish. especially diseases.
