Paraguay and Bolivia are the two poorest countries in South America and the only two that are landlocked. Coincidence?

I had to escape from Asunción yesterday due to what happened to me at 4:15am Thursday morning. No, it didn’t involve a transsexual, or any other person for that matter. Story coming.

I’m starting to seriously consider my travel luck.

Ha ha. I actually had a strong suspicion that it had to do with a transexual… even more intrigued now that such hypothesis does no longer hold.

I keep forgetting to sign my comments! That was me.

Was it a rat or some creepy animal???????

I doubt that you necessarily have any worse travel luck than any other American that backpacks through South America for an extended period of time. Who knows what happened to you, but you likely stick out like a sore thumb there so you are a target for people looking to take advantage of an American who does not know the culture or the area, and who has limited command of the language.

This can extend to travel as well. The long you travel, the greater chance an instance of something (negative?) will happen to you traveling.

since it didn’t involve a person… maybe he got a snake bite or got mauled by a boar?

Man, I told you to watch your step in Paraguay. Bolivia is poor, but relatively peaceful. Paraguay is fucking dangerous.

my guess it has something to do with your gastrointestinal system. since it seems this whole trip revolves around your digestive problems.

oops the above anon was me.

The white and japanese parts of Bolivia are quite prosperous, which is why they are attempting to seceed. Location can be important, but other things are far more so. http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/sft.htm

It makes much sense that landlocked countries are poorer. the advantage of having trade via the sea greatly affects a countries economy.
looking forward to this story.. as always

As a semi-related topic, if you look at the way that Africa is divided up, you’ll notice a lot of strangely divided countries in Western Africa – really narrow that go fairly deep inland. This was a result of European colonization, and since different countries colonized different parts, they all wanted sea ports. It’s one of the reasons that Africa has been so plagued by civil wars. Countries were not divided based on tribal boundaries or any commonality among the people. I havent done a lot of research on S America, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s for similar reasons.

Roosh,

Can you give an estimate as to how much this trip has cost in total? Money, not stomach lining.

I am planning a similar trip in the near future and would like to get a rough idea of what I should expect.

Definitely sounds like an animal, like you woke up and discovered an uninvited bed partner.

A friend who’s an expert in South American history told me that Bolivia and Chile have a longstanding border dispute, where Bolivia used to claim part of Chile’s northern coastline. Supposedly the two countries were in negotiations during the 80′s, discussing a deal whereby Chile would have granted a small strip of coastline to Bolivia, in return for getting some mineral-rich lands from Bolivia. I don’t know what ever happened to that deal.
