I have come to the conclusion, that were you to generalize S. American cuisine, it would be fried, accompanied by potatoes, and then something ridiculously sweet. If it isn´t sprayed with sugar, served with jam, deep fried (all meat is ... Read more >

Reaching the La Quiaca bus station I found it necessary to actually acquire Argentinean pesos (so as to be able to buy a bus ticket) Unfortunately, after asking quite a few people on the street where I could exchange bolivianos, I was actually laughed ... Read more >
