La Paz

Got into Bolivia's capital a few hours ago and it's absolutely mental! The hotel I'm staying at is smack-bang in the city centre, and the place is swarming with people. Wandered around for an hour trying to get my bearings, which is proving to be quite difficult. Saw an absolutely dreadful sight on the way into La Paz. We were driving through the outskirts of the city, when I looked out the window. Some guy was crossing a relatively busy road, but just as he was about to step on the curb, a car clipped his legs. It was driving reasonably fast so the impact was huge - the guy was projected a few metres forward and was just lying lifeless on the side of the road. I don't think he survived the crash... Horrible.
