Hello, this is Potosi. I think it is the highest city in the world. Over 4000 metres. I can't be bothered googling any of this. Google is probably much quicker where you are anyway. You can google my claims.
Two flags. The Bolivian flag is rasta colours, and the indigenous flag is a cuadratical progression of the rainbow. They are my friends because when I speak to them, I imagine they are rastafarian hippies who bake bread and share their lentils with me.
This lady harks back to the ancient days of folklore. She is the "Huarnachica", or the corn hat stealer. If she steals from you in the night, you will be covered in a pollen like yellow fluff, made from corn. Except you will not have your hat. I've lost three hats so far, but made many more delicious polenta based meals because of her kindness.
An architect I was with commented that this reflective part of this building is designed to shed light on the nicer building.
Super Jamon = Super Ham. Sounds like an over enthusiastic attention seeking super hero.
Notice how there is no motorbike they are riding on? It is because to get a licence you have to pretend you have a motorbike and tackle traffic thusly for one month, with your child as the verbal logbook.
Every day in Bolivia they celebrate a different animal. Today is the day of the owl!
