Boliva - rolig skylt/funny sign

Rolig skylt i Bolivia pa toaletten. Oversattningen blir ungefar:

Var snall och slang allt toalettpapper i soptunnan, inte i soptunnan, inte i toaletten. Tanka dej!

Bolivia - Potosi

Jag besokte silvergruvorna i Potosi. Det var morkt och skitigt och guiden drack 96% sprit hela tiden. Vi klattrade upp for 60 meter hoga tra-stegar i smala utrymmen och guiden beratta hela tiden om hur manga som dor i grottorna. Nar man val var ute igen sa sprangde han dynamit som overraskning som man fick springa som tusan. Helt galet!

.

I visited the silver mines in Potosi. It was dark and dirty and the guide kept on drinking 96% alcohol all the time. We climbed up wooden ladders that were 60 meters high and it was very narrow and slippery while the guide kept on talking about how many people that died in the mine. When we got out again the guide blow some dynamite as a surprise and we had to run as hell. All crazy!
