13.07 The little things

The beetle is very much alive in this part of the world!


In a lot of places, such as grocery stores, petrol pumps, etc. in Peru, they hang posters of women in bikini or nude women… I guess to attract customers…these women on posters are usually gringos!

A lot of houses have a cross with 2 bulls on their roofs. I asked a Peruvian guy on the train, and he said that they usually put that when they just build/buy the house. Most Peruvians are Catholics, hence the cross, and the 2 bulls represent production. They use bulls for farming, and hence, it’s a good luck sign for the house so that the production (finance) of the house is good.

In Brazil, a lot of bus stands have TVs inside a locker. And when it’s match day, the lockers are opened and people waiting for the bus, can watch the football match!

I love the small taxis in Peru! :)
