Yes, I´ll say it again: a tourist place is like a fake landscape painted on a quarter hanging of a wall of my granny´s house.
And who are the peolple that love this kind of instalations?
Yes, you are in the right...the gringo, who more!!. It´s their style, their way to celebrate their like for everything, making an altar to things...isn´t like this?
for this theory I think some curious places have been alterated to install at the tourist...that dangerous and sometimes ignorant personage.
Some huge zoos are the must true instalation to give animals the most original place to stay and for tourists to admire that wild life... or, have you seen around there a gardener cutting the grass to the deers? or picking up the fish shit? or bathing a lion?...No!! you´re not...so, why could not people conserve those historic or curious places just the most original posible?
fiuff!! or maybe I just don´t like that places where are ten shops selling the same souvenirs, and all is fake, I just get funny angry.
But, but, but....I went to an amazing place, was an old neighborhood..you supose to see people equally beautiful as beauty the old and french style buildings living there. But in this ex port some zones very poor people have taken this beautiful old houses. More inside, you see again circumstances give to a place exceptional features: houses were painted with different colors, because the poverty of that old times (beginnings of c. 20th)just allowed people to paint their houses in parts, with scraps of paint given from the ships that arrive at the old and today forgotten port.
And the port..mmm delicious cause are devastating, forgotten, dirty and old, all a survivor, like a mummy, all real. Capital are limited for the river, so I saw some people taking a little boat to cross the river... I thought was something touristic but no! for my surprise was a public transport; bizarre but amazing...
I saw too, a rusty boat, on surface; enormous cranes, a black and a white one; the river was black, and the sand with black points, where small bubbles were sparking on the river surface...and some people with instalations of poverty around the port... woow
...fuck the moment when I damage my camera in México...
