Visa? But I'm a US citizen! Oh....

Bolivia recently enacted visa requirements on all U.S. citizens. Recently as in last month. And this visa costs $135. Great. More unexpected expenses.

Evo Morales, the Bolivian president, has decided that since the U.S. requires Bolivians entering the U.S. to have a visa at the same cost, Bolivia should reciprocate the favor. Perfect timing.

Brazil has done the exact same thing to the U.S. But they're Brazil. People want to go to Brazil. They have great beaches and Carnival. Bolivia has....salt flats.

Okay, I'm sure Bolivia will be worth the visa, whatever the cost. After all, they also have, um.... Well, I hear my Bolivian friend's family is a lot of fun.
