Amendment

Looking back on my blog, I just want to clarify: Bolivian culture is machisto in a lot of ways, but there have been a lot of recent strides towards legal equality.  I think the US is also machisto, despite having legal equality.  Women still do the majority of housework, get less pay for equal work, and are often blamed when they face sexual harassment/violence.  I'm really thankful for all the opportunities I've had living in the US, but I think we have a lot of things wrong with our country socially and politically (Note: Not a slur against Obama or any party in particular, just the system in general.)  I think being in Bolivia has actually helped me get some perspective on the US and what we do well/badly, internationally and within our country.  Definitely worth it to come here!
