This part of Bogotá is not particularly clean or fancy, resembling just about every major US city I've been to, but the night vibe is so totally different. People are just...out and about, doing things, enjoying life.

A comparable place in say, San Francisco or Oakland, at this time of night, would feel sketchy. That's the part that I like about most of the Latin American cities I've been to. There's a vibrant street life, both day and night. Everyone always seems way more chill than the US.

On the other hand,… Wait, someone has a llama on a string. They are taking their llama for a walk down the street… Anyway, on the other hand, the air pollution from the narrow streets and lack of an emission controls would lead anybody to an early grave.
