Oops. Roku is a better option, anyway. Looks like your thing requires a subscription fee.

What part of "make an interview appointment" do you not understand?

IMO, any company that sells an item of "value" should have parts to fix this item. This applies to a car to a vacuum cleaner & everything in between. The phone is not functional as the cracks are extensive over the faceplate but does work if you have the patience for the various butto...

IMO, the "nature of the sexual assault" is not important. This man stole her privacy & violated her right to consent. Any more details would only serve titillating purposes. A simple question for clarification to see if a lawyer would take the case. She may be from a country that cons...

Dear Expat Peru community, I have a friend who was recently sexually assaulted right outside her own apartment by a tenant of the same building here in Lima. She did a denuncia against him, but what else can she do? Are there lawyers who deal with this type of issue? She is a US citizen and the agg...

CBD oil is expensive in Peru

How much does it cost in Peru? I was under the impression it was unavailable. If I needed it for pain and it is available I would just bite the bullet and lay out the soles.

jumpinjack

Hmmm, that camera/cell phone adapter sounds interesting. Could you post a pic?
Thanks, best wishes.

jumpinjack

What question would I ask "How to post a pic in expatperu?" Google gave me no answer. Any other suggestions?
Thanks. Have a nice day.

jumpinjack

Can you tell me how to do that, post pictures? They ARE in great shape!
Thanks

jumpinjack

If I bring them, can I stay in a cottage?

jumpinjack

How much is the pay?

So you will ask a friend to risk federal prosecution by mailing contraband across state lines? CBD oil is legal in all states and can be mailed across state lines. What part of mailing across state lines do you not understand? USA to Peru crosses several international state lines. Seems to be a que...

Interesting. I had to look up Ausie football. I always thought Ausie football was like American football, just a different field size and minor rule differences like Canadian football.
Looks more like Rugby to me.

Update on package containing CBD oil: 1. Finally received mail from customs telling why they are holding my package. 2. Finally had a phone #, but no one answers from 11 am to 3:15 pm (must be taking a long lunch). 3. From the internet find that there could be substantial fees if package is not pic...

Does anyone know how much it costs to build with timber in Peru? I recently visited a jungle eco-lodge in the Peruvian Amazon (Pucallpa area) and am now curious to identify a cost estimate to buildings in timber. I am working on putting a business plan together for the development of a eco-lodge. S...

Well Glory Be you finally paid attention!!!! You should take a lil Miller Time once in a while. That "taza de cafe pasado". Coffee, it would seem, looking at you, to make one uptight, overly excitable and a bit supercilious. BTW this is not a coffee thread either, you may want to direct me...

jumpinjack

That is a US website ! ! ! Sorry but I have no way to check its prices because have no account with them.. But as you wrote..... , $3.33 per pound sound a bit overpriced.. One question my friend. Do you drink coffee in Peru, other than the "Nescafe instant coffee" ? Yes it is a US site. W...

Smart move where would that be? Got a link? lol :wink:

Have no idea what you are taking about. Are you in the correct thread?

Jumpin, thanks for your sudden interest in learning more about spanish, hope you do not forget the spanish phrase "taza de cafe pasado", this way your life in Peru will be more enjoyable :D Thanks, just as you hope I forget you did not answer, but I prefer the Miller Time. Coffee, it woul...

Jumpin, in spanish the word "criminal" is frequently used as "murderer" as well. You might search these two Spanish words in google "criminal" + "mato" or "criminal" + "asesino" Hope this helps to prove that my knowledge of spanish is pris...

Now what flavor of Spanish is that? Love to see that dictionary reference. lol

Maybe they will bring their cattle with them and knowledge so we can have some decent beef.

Well stay with your opinions, I stay with facts and I do not suffer from any afflictions you name.

Just check the stock market you will find the stocks are no where near crappy, they are gold. You can find that food all over the world. Can you say the same of food from your side of the fence?

Once again, sorry I offend thee. Maybe you should loosen up a bit and not be so uptight and try something new. Of course we will have different taste, we grew up on different sides of the fence. Doesn't mean my side or your side is better, I am only trying to relate to a fellow American, from the sa...

jumpinjack

ok, thanks for that. So they tax heavily any money you pull from a bank? Do you know what that rate is? To save some FEES you can open a bank account in Peru and have direct deposit from the US but you need a bank account and to have a bank account you need legal resident status a tourist visa will...

jumpinjack

Didn't I make that clear "fees" and not taxes?

jumpinjack

I am sure it is good, it better be because it costs about twice as much as I would pay for the coffee I enjoyed in the US.

jumpinjack

Not sure whose hands are on the fees. It has been a while since I now have a bank account but it is somewhere north of 5%. Another thing to watch, those fees often times do not show the additional fees your bank will charge you have to wait for your statement for that shock.

jumpinjack

Nope never heard of it, then again I do not speak Spanish nor am I experienced as you think you are. I can only offer up my experience. As I said, I rarely drink coffee in a restaurant or otherwise. Sorry I seem to have offended you.

jumpinjack

BTW coffee, you'd think Peru has the best coffee at democratic prices, I have found that just not to be true, I can only guess it is because most locals just don't drink coffee around these parts and the good stuff gets exported and the stuff in the stores has sat on the shelf for quite a while. I r...

A friend from the US sent me a package using USPS of CBD oil (legal in Peru) & TUMS (not available in Peru). Customs now has the package (see below), but they provide no info (or phone #) how to pick up the package. Hoping someone can provide advice on how to proceed; what is "LIMA COLIS&q...

You mention 'local common markets' and chicken in particular. Are they like the open air markets found elsewhere in Peru? The chicken is usually hung on a hook out in the open, obviously not refrigerated, open to all passing vermin and insects. You are suggesting this is better chicken? Better than ...

Uhhhh, I don't think one would actually pay each Peruvian. Just provide for the good of the residents. Sanitary conditions, for a start and clean water, etc. Jeez What a cop out

Have you been to any of the super markets? Yeah they are big but they have very little an American would like. What we do like is usually expensive. Ya want a steak? No comprende. Ya want milk?

Plastic bottles could be considered for banishment also and not just because they pollute the environment. Could be trouble for countries that have to buy bottled water because the water pumped into our homes is next to poison. https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/05/health/microplastic-particle-ingestion-st...

That is why they call it the 'jungle'.

You do not mention the climb and what that was like, now that is what really worth mentioning. Or did you get a ride to the top? He mentions that it was a downhill. Pretty standard for these tours. You avoid the grunt, but get the views and the rush of the descent. I did something similar in Huaraz...
