Wait! Drunk driving is illegal? Let's strike!

So I don’t have much to say today, but I’ll leave you with some fun facts about Bolivia:
  1. Did you know that there is no caffeine in tea? In fact caffeine only exists in coffee. Tea has a different substance called “teina.” These two substances are COMPLETELY  different, so I have been told.
  2. Drunk driving is not illegal in Bolivia. When the government passed a law making it illegal for bus drivers to drink and drive, there was a nation-wide transportation strike so that the government wouldn’t take away citizens’ right to drink and drive!
  3. Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the entire world.
  4. Bolivia also has the highest city in the world, Potosí, which also used to be the richest city in the world from all the gold and silver, but it’s now one of the poorest.
  5. Bolivia also has the largest salt deposit in the world found at the Salar Uyuni.
