Bogota Graffiti

The graffiti in Bogota is exceptionally good. It is so much better than the graffiti in China, which is non-existent because people who practice the art of graffiti in China seem to “disappear” from the face of the earth, a fate that was not lost on me. This leads me to believe that all the hard-core law and order types in America should become even bigger fans of Chinese Communism than I am (just kidding). But China aside, the graffiti in Bogota was some of the best I’ve every seen. It doesn’t begin to rival the murals of Belfast, but that’s an animal of another political color. While we were on the bike tour in Bogota we would often stop to admire the artwork. The guide would stop and give us the interpretation of the more politically astute graffiti. All-in-all, I’m a fan of graffiti. As long as it’s in Bogota.
