free visa to Bolivia you can get in any Bolivian Consulate is enough submit a ticket out of the country and booking hotels. But the aircraft in the country, few flies, buy a bus ticket online, in which even a speedometer is not working, and windows and cracks in the casing are sealed with adhesive tape, it is not possible, and book a hotel room on the internet can be when Albania will launch its first man- satellite into space. It is therefore easier to obtain a visa at the border, without any armor, applications and even photos, but for $ 55 officially, but U.S. citizens in general for $ 135. Spite of the imperialists, the socialist business lived, is alive and will live on.
A visa in my passport is pasted upside down.
Dissatisfied with the new Law on Transport Tax drivers blocked roads for two days in the country. Crowds of Bolivians with huge suitcases stormed all passing by Peruvian border car on track to open the door and jumping straight into the cabin, and then it turned out that the car is not at all taxis and passengers with the discontented party unloaded back. Taxi drivers were taken to the capital to bypass checkpoints, gardens, on the potholes, ruts and cow dung, tearing off a man instead of the usual $ 3 7 for a three-hour journey:)
Welcome to Bolivia, a country of victorious socialism! Where residents begin the morning with a cup of welded in boiling coca leaves, and end the death rattle 96% alcohol and beer, where the ladies go to plessirovannyh multilayered skirts and bowler hats, from antediluvian speakers the whole street rumbles Disco 80-x Autoradio (honestly, honestly), and the average salary in the country of $ 100 per month and you feel like a real lord, a millionaire.
I love Bolivia! I love this country at first sight from the moment I first came here three years ago.
country's history in her what is so selected - first Chileans in 1879-1883 chop off 350 km out to the ocean and nitrate deposits, 20 years Brazil has captured a huge part of the Bolivian Amazon with plantations of rubber trees, even, God forgive me, Paraguay, and he pressed a vast semi-desert territory, wrongly assuming that there is presence oil.
Unlike Cubans, joyful and friendly Bolivians are satisfied with their socialist life, do not plunk away and arrange yourself a holiday every day.
One of the highest capitals in the world city of La Paz, lies in a canyon at an altitude from 3200 to 4100 meters above sea level.
Standing on the bottom of a deep soup plates, you see buildings on all sides, top and bottom, and accidentally getting lost in the narrow streets of the city, going all the way down, you're sure to get on the main road, cutting through the city at the bottom of the canyon. The slopes of the canyon is seeded Favell, houses poor people, built of red brick without plaster and paint, and sometimes even without windows.
Stir in the chaotic capital and can not be any rules, pedestrians smart right in the middle of the roadway, thousands of routes and ancient buses puff black poisonous smog, continuous humming, drowning vociferous conductors.
Instead motherfuckers with striped sticks, the movement on vertical streets regulate cute Indian in zebra costumes, incidentally cuddling with a young and friendly lapastsami photographed with tourists and sometimes vice versa.
In Bolivia, the two national pride - the cook and cakes. President Evo Morales, an ethnic Quechua, before becoming president of the country's coca growers in their on the plot, and then chewed it right on the podium of the UN. Obviously, in pies, too, added the coca, because it sits on them with the first dose.
