La Paz, Bolivia
On November 9, 2008 8:36 p.m.
El Alto, the largest suburb of La Paz, originally settled by campesinos and migrants from all over the country, is today ' hui became a separate town with its 650 000 inhabitants. The Lonely Planet even said she would be the world capital of the Aymara, the indigenous community the most common dans la région, avec une croissance de 5-6% par année.
Decidedly, with that look, that we do not want cholita welcome, but fortunately, she was an exception!
Explore the market of El Alto, the Feria del 16 de Julio, is definitely for me a piece of the puzzle strategic trade usage. It sells everything from housewares, children, clothing for all ages, toys, bicycles, shoes, music, the Hardware, food (not recycled forever!) And even parts cars rather impressive!
Public Toilets: many of them also offer the shower.
With the help of my friend Milka, the "fixer" ideal journalistic jargon, we discussed the first time people and ask them some questions. Three people have accepted me back next week to talk to them.
The women I spoke today made me realize that there were three levels of wholesale buyers of used clothes, classified according to their pecuniary means, of course (!) : Those who brew and millions who import directly from the United States (known also not ropa americana his name!), Those who will buy it for thousands of dollars and provide transportation into the major markets countries, and those who have a nest egg of $ 1,000 per month $ -2,000 to go to Iquique and buy bundles that contain higher-quality clothing. The others are resellers.
A small hollow? Throughout the day, but even more in the morning, there are Salten warm slippers filled with Bolivia Meat, La Paz, as in El Alto.
An example of the restaurants that are found in markets, both in Guatemala and Bolivia: here, they serve both to feed the workers and passersby, but in some markets of Guatemala, they were so uninviting that it appeared obvious that they were frequented by traders.
control pirated copies, a utopia?
Do you recognize your sweater?
A piece of watermelon?
almuerzo break with my friend Milka, a freelance journalist and board member of the Federation of Unions of Journalists of La Paz.
Pamela, the pretty cook!
.... of Micharron de cerdo, a typical dish Bolivia, the pork rind, with sweet déshydrattées sun (hence the black) and white corn and hard. All washed down hot sauce ... and coca-cola, of course!
Back to work!
Such a bale of used clothes sorted from the place, originally worth about $ 150. The price varies depending on the quality and content of course!
Snowing in Alto, at 4000 m altitude, the weather can change quickly!
Back in La Paz in a mini-bus! Attention is down!
