Cocaine Tourism???
“Tonight we have two types of cocaine; normal for 100 Bolivianos a gram, and strong cocaine for 150 [Bolivianos] a gram.” – Waiter taking orders at Route 36. La Paz, Bolivia.
“There is more interest and and investment in purifying coca paste here and exporting it, rather than sending it to Colombia for purification.” Oscar Nina, Bolivia’s top anti-drug officialI don’t even know why I was surprised when I heard about this place. But it’s still kinda crazy that there’s actually a cocaine lounge out there… several cocaine lounges. I mean sure I’ve heard about places where you can get your vape on but Cocaine??? *not judging anyone btw lol*La Paz, Bolivia is home to the most famous bar in all of South America: Route 36, the world’s first cocaine lounge. Described as a “moveable feast”, Route 36 is known to move all over the place; “One day it is in one zone and then it pops up in another area”. And is mostly favored mostly by the backpacker crowd.They say the birth of the new trend of “Cocaine Tourism” stems from “…a combination of Bolivia’s notoriously corrupt public officials, the chaotic “anything goes” attitude of La Paz, and the national example of President Evo Morales.” (Who himself is a Coca grower! I mean the President’s doing it! So…)
Even though Cocaine is illegal in Bolivia, Route 36 is rapidly becoming an essential spot for thousands of tourists from all over the world. At €15 a gram, Bolivia’s cocaine is famous for it’s availability, price, and purity. I can see why people would enjoy this kinda thing, as people love getting high whether it’s with alcohol/marijuana/etc, but are we forgetting that cocaine torches your brain??? It’s highly addictive, destructive and easy to abuse… soooo??? It’s like taking a drug to relieve heartburn, but it’ll also give you gas, bloating, a rash, head aches… Get my drift? I don’t know, I guess people are just “”living life,” *blank stare, has anyone seen “Crackheads Gone Wild?” Yeah. turns to walk away, still not convinced* lol
“Stopping cocaine tourism in La Paz could be as difficult as keeping Americans from drinking during prohibition.”
“Everyone knows about this place,” says Jonas, a backpacker who arrived two days earlier. “My mate came to Bolivia last year and he said, ‘Route 36 is the best lounge in all of South America.'” Crazeeeee!*hugs & kisses*Bella -
Finally, some cool mens jewelry
Toronto’s def. been missing it. Splattered here and there I’ve found that cool men’s jewelry is hard to find. Maybe this is starting to change? I recently checked out the recent opening of Serpentine – down in Yorkville – and noticed that they’ve got a small – but cool – selection of mens jewelry.
Their current selection includes pieces from Scott Kay – famous for engagement rings adorned by celebrities such as Eva Longoria, Britney Spears, and from what I’ve heard Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They’ve also got a number of cool pieces from Japanese designer Luke Satoru.Prices may cost you a few hundred to a couple thousand but I’m sure the men in your life would enjoy it.
I havent asked them but they might be able to get womens Scott Kay pieces too!

Personal Training Diary Part 2
from workout and personal trianing Journal entries continued….
THURS:
Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn’t help being a half an hour late – it took me that long to tie my shoes.Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. She sent another skinny b*tch to find me.
Then as punishment she put me on the rowing machine – which I sank.
FRIDAY:
I hate that b*tch Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anaemic, anorexic little cheerleader. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it.Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don’t have any triceps! And if you don’t want dents in the floor, don’t hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.
The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn’t it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
SATURDAY:
Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice – wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching 11 straight hours of the Weather Channel.SUNDAY:
I’m having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my daughter (the little sh*t) will choose a gift for me that is fun – like a root canal or hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!! - Uncategorized

Oh Snap! Bday parteh at The Fifth
Rockin times at The Fifth for a good friends b-day. Sporting gear from N4E1 <-- Not For Everyone and b-day hats from Shoppers. Sweet match. A bit of an Asian flavour on Friday nights, but still good times with cheap drinks until 12. Music is alright, good beats but the dj just doesn’t spin them for long enough. I may be heading down there to catch the TIFF Paparazzi party on Saturday! The first 300 guests apparently get a complimentary camera!
