Central America was the biggest surprise of all. Given all the graffiti I had seen in Mexico, I expected it to be more prevalent down there, but not so! I expected to see more of it in Ecuador, Bolivia, but not so!



The biggest surprise: Chile! Why I saw so much of it down there!!!



A recent surprise was looking at some photo threads of Paris, and all the graffiti there!



Here in Las Vegas you see very little, if any, due to the city spending $30 million a year to continually remove it, the minute it appears. Afterall, we are a major tourist attraction, gotta make it look good for the tourists!



But what's shameful, is there's some very artistic graffiti, mural like, which has appeared, from time to time, and that gets removed as well! In my world travels, there's been a number of surprises along the way regarding graffiti.
