Great Concepts

1. On Sunday, during the market day, the streets are closed. There are live bands, dance groups, street performers, and my personal favorite, old men playing chess outside on the sidewalk. There's a few blocks that are laced with old men playing chess on both sides of the Prado. It's adorable, cute, endearing...

2. The Aymara have a different perception of Time. The Future is behind you and The Past is ahead. Westerners are the opposite, The Future is forward, far into the distance right? Aymara believe we are facing The Past, we learn from it because we can already see it and accept this. The Future is unknown and mysterious, there is no way to see what is behind you. If you ask me, we have it backwards.
