I have decided bolivia is a great country for all gringas (blonde hair is an extra plus) that have ever thought they are not pretty enough. So I wanted to put this information out there for all that may need a little boost in self esteem. You can come here and will leave feeling much better about yourself. In addition to the people looking at you all the time (which drives me a little crazy), the whistles you will get on the street average from 3-10 per day (based on samples of women from the US and europe) , depending how much you are walking on the streets, how heavily populated they are, and how well you are paying attention!  In addition to the whistles of course are the comments which range from innocent "que gringa mas bonita", (what a beautiful white girl), to moderate "buenisimos pechos" (nice rack), to foul "cinquinta pesitos para tirarte" (50 bolivianos for sex). For most of this harrassment I would like to blame Hollywood. As has been explained to me by my bolivian friends, in the movies that everyone is watching the world over, the guy meets a girl (who most of the time is white) and the next morning they wake up together in his bed. The conclusion that I am afraid is being made is that gringas are easy. The sample I have taken are not supporting this conclusion with their actions here. I consider it a personal sucess in the war against this assumption to wake up in my own bed in the morning alone.  Im not saying Im perfect, but a word to all my fellow gringas: take the whistles as a compliment, believe that you are beautiful, that you have value, and together we can change our reputation on the streets of bolivia.
