Up to date advice please, fuel in Bolivia
Peter, do you really think that people think like that? I'm very surprised you came away with that impression. I've been here 3 months, worked here, travelled and studied here - I've never encountered any apparent resentment myself for being obviously foreign nor the calculated spite or jealousy you spoke of. I don't think it's true at all that Bolivians would hold it against you for colonialism or the ravages of US drugs policy or WTO neo-liberalism. I don't think most people really care where you might be from and the ones that were cheaters, liars general scumbags were so for much the same reasons people cheat, lie or generally **** others over as they do in the states, or anywhere else. Maybe you were just projecting your own stuff there?
