Therican, hah, yeah, I saw a jewish porn once and you´re right, it only had 1% nudity but you couldn`t even see it because their noses kept getting in the way (I can make jewish jokes now since I have more jewish friends than probably anyone reading this, I call this the Tim Wattley clause).
Walk around the city, check out some street performers and stuff. I saw this one guy play November Rain on his guitar and it was phenomenal. I have no idea how he did this but he played the guitar parts with his left hand and he played the piano parts with his right hand and he was always plucking the strings up on the frets. I can`t really explain it but it was really cool. I gave him 50 centavos.
A few observations: Never tear a $100 peso bill in half. I did on accident and it turned out to be a nightmare. I went to one of the many banks to get it replaced (there are more banks in BA then in a game of billiards) and the first one told me that they couldn`t do it, and this of course was after waiting in line for 45 minutes. I don`t think anyone here knows how to use online banking since it seems as though the entire city is physically lined up at a bank. I go to another one and they won`t replace it either after an hour wait, what the suck dillhole, it`s a clean rip and the numbers on both sides match, JUST FUCKING GIVE ME A NEW BILL!! Lord. This one lady tells me to go across the street and that that bank will accomodate me. Yeah well, they better otherwise I`m going to rip this bill up and throw it in the teller`s face. Seriously. This bank has a line that starts outside, I kid you not. I am so annoyed right now, and I will definitely rip up this bill and chuck it at some poor teller if this bank doesn`t exchange it. I stand there for another hour and finally they exchange my ripped bill for a new one. Ok, sweet, well that only took around 3 hours. 3 hours for $33USD, hardly worth it.
Another one - cab drivers gun for you here. I have crossed the street so many times where a cab will be in lets say lane 1 or 2 where the road is 5 or 6 lanes wide, no problem right, oh but it is a problem because although you can easily get through lane 1 or 2 in plenty time but the cab will then switch lanes and by the time it takes you to get to say lane 4 or 5 the cab is coming right at you. Fuckers. I know they do this shit on purpose and I can`t tell you how many times I have had to run to get out of the way while throwing up my middle finger.
Fin.
8 lanes wide, and that`s going just one way
