Culture shock

Three months ago I was in the jungle of Colombia, where the people are so sweet and helpful, the nature is amazing and the land very rich in culture and indigenous tribes. The speak very clearly in Spanish and life is cheap (except for the jungle tours). To Peru where buses, hostels, food, hand crafts work are more cheap than in Colombia. Where the people from the Highlands almost always are a little grumpy and like to lie to the tourist. The Peruvians from the jungle or they who live at the coast are a lot more friendly. People are more poor and becuase there live a lot of indigenous people very colorfully dressed. They speak in Spanish and Quechua.Where nature is beautiful and divers.
To Bolivia where people are very relaxed and friendly but a little shy. Nature also is beautiful, but less divers. Where life is even cheaper than Peru and the people are very poor. People sell there stuff on little blankets on the streets. Where a big part of the colorful population is indigenous. Where they speak Spanish and Quechua.


To Argentina, Buenos Aires, where live is expensive and modern. Where all houses have a washing machine and a toilet which flushes your toilet paper!! Where you can drink the tap water. Where it is not free to sell what ever you like in the streets and where you don´t find indigenous people. All the streets are clean, people wear expensive cloths and use mobile phones with Internet, shops sell new stuff, buses are very luxury. Aaaarrgh it looks like Europe! It´s one hell of a difference with the other three countries, but big fun because I found a nice room, a bicycle which I can use for a month, and there are a million of things to do in the most cultural city of this continent.
