Are you living in Peru? We need you to share your experience of the local customs :) Is it difficult to adjust to the local customs in Peru? Could you please share with us a list of the do's and don't's in Peru? Thanks!
What TallCan said about dropping money. It's considered very rude to throw or toss anything here, no matter how polite it seems to you. Also, tone of voice is really important when you say something like 'no me gusta' or 'no importa'. You MUST ... Read More
Peruvian Crime Exaggerated? by ColinT
In my opinion, Arequipe帽os exaggerate crime in this city. Drastically. Obnoxiously. Unrealistically. Compared to my hometown in the States, Arequipa is a walk in the park. They also say Lima is much worse, which I believe it is. However, I ...
I think peruvians don't tend to exaggerate crime stats - though many of the foreign staff I employ often accuse peruvians of either being over protective or of exaggerating. I think the thing is that foreigners go to a place, nothing happens, the ... Read More

People mingling is easy. The bricheros and bricheras hang out at the tourist bars and karaokes.Hi Rachel, I'm a fan of your blog. I find that if you're not interested in the brichero culture, it's not so easy to meet people in Peru. However, my ... Read More

Anglos rarely feel lonely when they in Latin countries especially if they know the language. That is why you rarely see a complain from a Brit about being lonely in, say, Brazil.That's just not true: every country has its gregarious cultures and ... Read More

In the sierra, for certain, people can be pretty reserved. Don't be western about invitations: ask people if you can come to their home and share a meal. Be sensitive about money, though: it's very very often short. If you want to eat at ... Read More

It's always seemed to me that most of the blogs in Peru are based in Lima and Cusco - international, touristic cities that are as far removed from ordinary peruvian life as they can possibly be. Nobody in my city has ever heard of muesli, or toast, ... Read More
How long have you been far away?? by Mandy
Hi everyone!!! All of us here are travelling a lot away from our country trying to find either a nice job, a nice experience, or just simply a nice way of living...away from our home country! I wondered how many years you all had been abroad? ...
I'm with Lydia. Being away (Per煤) means I can see what's bad about my home country (UK), but that seems to mean less as time goes on. I left in July 05, and have been relatively homesick since around Nov 05, I'd say. For people, and for the ... Read More
