They're everywhere and have very strange shapes... Also, it would be wrong to say that, at 2500 meters above the sea level, they are no mosquitos or beetles... Indeed, they are rare, but you can find some very interesting species, as the one I found, very late at night, on the wall of our bathroom (the body is about 10 centimeters large)... Ils sont partout et ont des formes etranges. Et il serait faux de dire qu'il n'y en a pas en altitude !! Ils s'y font certes rares, mais l'on peut trouver des especes interessantes, comme celle qui se baladait sur le mur de notre salle de bain (le corps mesurait environ 10 centimetres de long)...

The first branch of the State is the Bank. When you know this, you better understand the external debt of the country ! Bankers tend to go away with the cash in their saves, put there by the State, public companies or honnest citizens. Here, the bankrupty law often works for the banks... And notwithstanding the fact that the State, taking some incredible economic decisions, may freeze the current accounts.... La succursale premiere de l'Etat, c'est la Banque. Et on comprend mieux pourquoi le pays est crible de dettes ! Les banquiers ont une facheuse tendance a se casser avec tout le fric que l'Etat, les societes publiques ou les braves citoyens ont bien voulu deposer au sein de leur futur-ex etablissement. Ici, les faillites de banques, c'est courant, sans compter que l'Etat, par des mesures economiques hallucinantes, peut forcer les banques a ne plus exercer leur metier aupres des petits particuliers, qui voient leurs avoirs geles pendant un an !!

Except from managing the museums, banks also receive the tax declarations and are the managers of the social security system. Each month, hundreds of women wait in front of the banks' offices, exchanging babies before entering the office and begging for the monthly ammount givent to unemployed women with children (about 10 to 12 USD a month). This is a real show, in which elderly people play also their part, coming for their retirement pension (15 USD a month !!). The queues are not prioritary and can last 8 days or so... Hormis leur role de gestionnaire de musees, les banques recoivent aussi les declarations d'impots et gerent le systeme d'allocations sociales, et ceci, dans des conditions douteuses. Chaque debut de mois, des centaines de femmes se pretent leurs enfants (ou petits freres), avant de penetrer dans les banques, afin de faire valoir leur statut de mere inactive pour recuperer un pecule de 10 a 12 USD. Il faut voir ces files d'attentes spectaculaires, dans lesquelles on trouve egalement des personnes agees (pension de vieillesse : 15 USD par mois !), files d'attentes non prioritaires qui durent en moyenne 8 jours.
