1. Imagine if in your home town there were intersections controlled by only two things: traffic lights and prayers. That’s Salta (population 512,686). There are lot’s of busy intersections managed by working, modern traffic lights. There are also a lot of intersections (most) where stop signs do not exist, and from what I can gather after careful observation, you pretty much just pray that the oncoming traffic stops or that you are in a bigger vehicle in case of collision.
2. People in Argentina are dwarfs. All the beds have footboards that limit growth to no more than 5 feet. I woke up this morning in a momentary panic because my feet were tangled in the footboard and I couldn’t get free. My head was hanging off the other end nearly resting on the floor.
3. The women are all hot.
4. Everyone is drunk 24/7 or there are way more earthquakes here than one is led to believe. These are the only reasons I can come up with why men, women and children are unable to walk in a straight line. I find it more efficient to walk on the street near the curb just to avoid crashing into short people who’ve strayed into my path.
