The Bizzare city of La Paz

I think i like this place!
It had beautiful views last night. A huge city, built into the cliffs. The Roads are literally one above the other. On one side of the road is always a cliff, and the other side a sheer drop.
We are at 4000m, and it is fantastic. Luckily, not feeling altitude sick.
Today went out to the city for a walk. I have to admit the men here are worse than anywhere i have been in terms of their reaction to me. The shoe-shine boys are wierd, they all wear balaclavas, and when i asked why.. they told me beacuse they are terrorists! Ha ha ha! But at least i got my shoes polished properly! he took off all my laces and everything! I was very impressed. I then wandered around the market! My heaven! However i am very confused as to where all these rumours of a cheap Bolivia are from. Everything i have found is more expensive than peru, apart from the food! What is going on!
Also, there are telephone pylons everywhere!!! What is the deal with that!!!
Anyway, planning to do some trekking, the deathroad, and then off to the jungle for a week!
