Special Occasions:
Special Occasions call for a big meal! In Bolivia for occasions like birthdays people usually invite family members to birthday party's and bring gifts like in America, but in Bolivia it's a little different, instead of writing from a specific persons name on a gift, there is no name so the gifts are a little more special and mysterious, also they eat cake, Salteñas, and hot dogs if the kids don't want to have the Salteñas.
