10 Quirks of Bolivia:

1. Bolivians don't pronounce the "s" at the end of their words. Buenos Dias is Bueno Dia, and Nos Vamos is No Vamo. It is rather confusing and hard to catch what people are talking about most of the time but it's week 3 and we're getting the hang of it.
2. Palm trees here actually have coconuts!!
3. Toilet paper doesn't ever go in the toilet. It goes in the trash can next to the toilet. Naturally, you have to take out the trash often... for obvious reasons.
4. Drunk driving is normal.
5. Stray dogs, horses, cats, and chicken roam the streets.
6. Gutters are vertical and look like palm trees.
7. Sewer runs through the streets in deep gutters. Stephanie accidentally stepped in it once. A mistake she'll only make once.
8. Everyone rides on motorcylces: helmets aren't worn and we've seen 5 people and a dogs on one motorcycle!
9. People drink chocolate milk and water out of plastic bags.
10. Birth control is available here but probably not used as often as it should be. If you have no money, you're probably not going to spend it on birth control when you have to eat. Although, we have heard some rumors that there is a special tea that acts as a birth control.... we're trying to convince them it's a myth. The guy who told us has six kids.
