One: The Vehicular Horn.
The fairly constant traffic all uses the horn fairly constantly. However, in India the technique is to hold the fist on the horn as hard and for as long as you can. This is particularly annoying. In La Paz the technique is far more civilised, usually just a quick 'pip' on the horn. This is most used by the legions of taxi and mini-cab drivers to attract your attention and, hopefully, trade. Overall far preferable to the Indian equivalent.
Two: Canines.
There are a reasonable number of dogs in our area, and it is clear that in general they are well cared for and even liked. But the truly interesting thing is that I have yet to see an ugly dog. It is the canine equivalent of going to San Luis Obispo; those of you who have been there will need no further explanation.
To a mutt they are all handsome, well proportioned, healthy, alert, even cute. It is difficult to understand how this can arise in the poorest country on the continent.
