Answer 1

If anything, depending of where in Bolivia I would worry more about the "altura" and not "cultura".

Are you suggesting that one would be "high" when in Bolivia? - pacofinkler, Jul 21, 2013

yeah, la altitud in La Paz should be interesting for this gringa to experience. ;) - rk8594, Jul 21, 2013

¡Hola a todos!

(Yo) Voy a ir a Bolivia este noviembre. ¿Hay diferencias culturales que yo necesite saber? (Yo) Fui a Guatemala en 2012 y 2011, asi que (yo) se algunas cosas de la cultura latinoamericana pero (yo) también se que hay diferencias entre los distintos países.

As you can see, you don't need to use the subject pronoun Yo.

Don't worry about your mistakes, we are here to help you!!!. I'm glad to hear that you are going to Bolivia... I know you'll have a great time there... I am from Cochabamba, a lovely valley located in the centre of the country. Right now, I'm working abroad, longing to return soon. hehe. Our country is well-known for its alttitude, yet that's a misconception. Bolivia has a lot of landscapes and different cultures. Mountains, valleys, rain forests, low lands, and so on.
La Paz, Potosí and Sucre are famous touristic spots. If you're planning a long stay, I recommend you Sucre. you'll find a lot of gringos there who will help you, hehe. I strongly recommend you to PM our friend Ian Hill, too. He lived in Cochabamba for a couple of years. I'm sure he has a lot of advice and contacts. He's a kind gentleman, I know it because he was my teacher at a local English institute. You can also send me a PM if you want to know additional information that I'm sure you will need. Best of luck... Maybe we would meet there and practice our English/Spanish.

Good answer - thanks - pacofinkler, Jul 23, 2013
