I once spent six weeks travelling in South America.
.
When I crossed the border from Peru to Bolivia, this sign painted on the wall of a public toilet was the first thing I saw.
.
The sign left me full of questions.
.
Why are Bolivians so keen for me to visit the loo?
.
Why is Chilean cartoon hero, Condorito, steering tourists towards the local facilities?
.
Why is he wearing a trench coat?
.
What is that puff of smoke coming from his trousers…?
.
Of course, I’ve never found any answers to any of my questions.
.
The more time passes, the stranger this sign seems.
.
Bolivia is a wonderful country, with incredible landscapes, fascinating customs and interesting people.
.
But when it comes to public service announcements, the Bolivians have a lot to learn!
