Why is Bolivia so dirty?

Bolivia is a disaster area of the third world! The city streets are a disgrace.

Extremely poor sanitary conditions in populous areas. Poor quality buildings

that are way overpriced with antiquated sewers, water supply services.

Poor electrical services not maintained, and a danger to the public.80-90% of all

vehicles are used and filthy and damaged. No one respects traffic rules. Markets

are a breeding ground for any number of bacteria and health issues. Restaurants

with the exception of a very few are sanitary. The food is the worst of all countries

ever visited. The cost of living is more than high. Wages are below poverty levels.

Buses are antiquated and inner city mini buses are falling apart at the seems and

are jammed packed with people as if they were a sardine. Courtesy is hard to find.

Corruption exists at any level. Lawyers and doctors are equally corrupt.

The general environment is non comforting to most anyone. When speaking

of inner city areas this is about the worst place on the planet yet seen.

Water is polluted, energy as in electric energy is not clean energy.

A simple road takes three years to construct! Buildings are held together by

tree poles during cement drying. Most brick work is hollow brick. The air is not

clean here. Virtually ever car or vehicle has no catalytic converter.

People have poor education and believe they receive good education.

Many purchased products do not live up to fair expectation. There is virtually

no decent movie house or decent theater here. Trash removal is a joke and

you will find it in any square inch of the main city of Santa Cruz.

It hardly ever rains and sand as in dust is everywhere, and that means in your

breathing air, food and water. Keep your area clean one day and be lucky it remains that way for 24 hours.

Taxis have no air-conditioning, maybe one in every two hundred. Take a bus and

get of sweaty or without your wallet or phone, very common.

What could be said as good ? Not much! About the only thing that gives enjoyment is women are pretty, but hard to trust. The name of the game here

is $.

is this country crazy, poor, or destitute, you decide. Only the wild country may

be said to be good, pretty, and delightful to one self.

The rest is not recommended.

In Santa Cruz Bolivia do they change the clocks back as Boston ma?

No, the only time Bolivia tried Summer Time (a.k.a. Daylight Saving Time) was in the summer of 1931-1932, and their most recent time change was on the 21st of March 1932, when they switched from UTC-3:32:36 to UTC-4. So Bolivia and Boston have the same time from March to November, but Bolivia is one hour ahead from November to March.

How did butch cassidy die?

well, before he died he went to Bolivia. there are two theories about how he died:

theory #1: in Bolivia, life for him was no different. butch and sundance were rustling cattle and robbing trains just like in the city, so soon the bolivian police were after them. he ran and hid in a bolivian village, which was soon surrounded by the police. there was a shootout, and both butch and sundance were killed.

theory #2: whenever butch comitted a crime, he always told himself that he was going to be good and keep the law. then he'd comitt another crime and try it again. but his sister said that after one of his crimes he moved to California and actually became a law-abiding citizen.
