If I’m going to accompany you on a walk, hopefully we don’t bump into anything

Probably, we will lol, you don’t know the amount of obstacles that people put their on the sidewalks, especially when they’re selling shit.

The way it sounds it sounds like LA. Like it’s very messy here on the sidewalks as well and we have a lot of uneven sidewalks too.

What are actually the big booming sounds? I’m sure they’re not gunshots. Who knows what they’re doing

Just wondering, what voice are you using for VoiceOver? Nice background noise.

One of the most interesting posts I've seen in weeks. Thanks again. Some of those sounds in the distance sound like automatic gunfire. Very interesting.

What are they protesting, if I may ask? I love the sounds of the city, I used to grow up in the city.

My question exactly. What are they protesting? This is beyond crazy.

To answer your questions: the protests were led by public transportation drivers due to a shortage of fuel, and not only that—they’re also being supplied with low-quality, defective fuel. There was another protest as well, involving an Indigenous group that came from the far north of the country. They arrived on foot, though I don’t have much context about their specific demands. As for the explosions, those were mostly firecrackers, but when they get louder and more intense, they can also be small dynamite charges.

For the person, asking about the voice, I’m using Siri voice 5

Okay, I was kind of late to this and I did get the answers to most of my questions. It sounded a lot scarier hearing the sounds and not knowing what they were.

Finally, someone knows where it is lol. Yes, I live in La Paz, Bolivia. And honestly, I don’t know xd. But we do have very strong lungs—I’ve heard from people who play the flute or other wind instruments and travel to other countries that they tend to have better lung capacity than the people they perform with.
