La Paz, Bolivia Alasitas is a two-week long party for the god of fortune, ekeko. Here you can buy everything imaginable in miniature. You have an ekeko idol and attach all these things to your ekeko: I suppose its a bit like creating a visual Christmas list. With a chubby, mustached ekeko that carries everything you want: money, passports, luggage, babies, stoves, houses, cars, stores, pots and pans, food, diplomas, clothing. Anything you can buy in the real world, you can find in miniature at the Alasitas Market. You can also find some very fine snacks.
