Grafitti thoughts
Grafitti here tends to be a bit more thoughtful than the usual giant willies you get painted on most walls in British towns. Here are three of my recent favourites:
The crisis isn’t economic, it’s personal
La crisis no es economica, es personal
Never forget your fragility
Nunca olvides tu fragilidad
Take care with building the present; it needs to look like the future that you dream of
Ten cuidado con el presente que construyes debe parecerse al futuro que sueñas
The last two were done by a group of women called "Mujeres Creando" (I hope to do an interview with them soon). On another note, I finally ($450 dollars, a urine test, a forest-full of photocopying and three months later) got my identity card yesterday which gives me the right to stay here until July next year when I have to start the whole process again.
The shortcut is apparently to find a Bolivian wife. Maybe I will put an ad in the paper. I have only got a year to go….

Nick Buxton compares grafitti in Bolivia and Britain and finds the former tends to be more thoughtful.
