// BOLIVIA Entering Bolivia was like entering another universe. I crossed by land from Argentina and Chile, both of which are fairly modern and well developed countries, with well connected bus systems and more importantly, bus terminals. Bolivia, however, was simply chaos. But there was a beauty in the disorder. Taxi drivers stood in the streets shouting out the names of destinations. They left when their sedans were full, so you were forced to crowd in small cars with strangers, often indigenous ladies in traditional garb. But at least you were all going the same direction. One's wait could be three minutes or three hours; it all depends how quickly the car fills up. There is no such thing as a schedule. Prices were whatever the driver thought he could charge you. In this way, each passenger paid a different price depending on their skills at negotiation. Bolivia only became more beguiling the further I went, and though I did not spend much time here, only a few days, it is one of the places I really wish to return and explore.
