Warning for Americans Traveling To Bolivia

I traveled to Bolivia a few months ago. As an American, every situation where I interacted with the police was a nightmare. Crossing the border into the country leads to a $160 fee. When I was trying to leave the country, I was bribed and had a fine demanded by corrupt police AFTER they had counted the money in my wallet. (Fair and Just, right?) The city I was staying in literally SHUT DOWN and I got out on the last bus. What is happening down there in that country? As an American, you’re a target for unexplained fees and bribes, and completely ‘justified’ fees like the $160 to enter the country. Be careful. http://www.nicojannasch.com
