Bolivia


















As can be seen from the above images Bolivia is a diverse, scenic and often tranquil place. However it is also a place of EXTREME DANGER, a fact to which the local people often seem bolivious.
Here follows a Photographic Guide to the 12 Cardinal Dangers an unwary foreigner may encounter in Bolivia.





1. Crocodiles
They'll eat you up


2. Practical Jokes
The old Chef's-Diarrhoea-On-The-Pancake trick.

3. Huuuuuge bitches. Especially when they have you in the palm of their hand.


4. Public Transport
No terrain is impassable for a Bolivian bus




5. Dusk
Picturesque sunrises and sunsets lure the foreigner into standing still and taking photos. This leaves him vulnerable to attack by huge jungle mosquitoes which are known to transmit Yellow Fever, Down's Syndrome and The Palsy.



6. Anacondas





7. Dinosaurs


8. Deep Shafts



9. Food Poisoning
Hygiene is poor in Bolivian kitchens.



10. PiraƱhas
Sometimes you eat the fish, and sometimes the fish eats you.





11. Mustard Blowouts
The incredible blandness of Bolivian cuisine often drives the foreigner to finish a meal with large quantities of straight sauces and condiments.



12. Hand-Eating Monkeys
It is uncommon to see locals with a full complement of digits due to the increasing frequency of attacks such as this one.
