Getting into a collectivo where my fellow passenger in the back seat was a 3 year old girl... standing like it was her job to ride. Maybe the driver was her grandpa? I never found out and I'm still wondering why she had a piece of newspaper stuffed into the back of her shirt.
Funny weirdnesses as usual..!
