Route 36 Will Blow Your Mind

Looking for an innovative late night scene? Look no further than Route 36, an after hours lounge in La Paz Bolivia that has gained a naughty reputation as the "world's first cocaine bar". While there have been numerous bars and clubs where you could score a bag (anyone remember Liberace's?), Route 36 is the first to actually serve cocaine to its customers, offering both standard and premium product delivered on an empty CD case. Natch. Route 36 has no official home, and rotates to a new spot rather often (2 weeks to 3 months). The bar has quickly become a favorite for backpackers looking to blow their minds and share their travel stories, which could make it either the coolest or most annoying place on earth, depending on the who's doing the talking.

Some Good News For A Change

Good news for our European friends who enjoy dabbling in le schneef. A new UN report says the "price of cocaine in Europe is set to fall even further as smugglers use new routes through West Africa and the Balkans." South American cartels have discovered new shipping routes through West African countries, and are amassing stockpiles of powder for shipment into Europe. Your house may be worth less than your mortgage, you may have been laid off, and your woman may have left you for a guy with a job, but at least you can save money on your next ball. Things may just be looking up after all. [BBC News]
