You pay fines for Presidential elections only, not municipal elections. I had to pay fines for the Presidential elections I did not vote (even though I have a registered USA address in my DNI).

That is a beautiful picture, Kevin! I would hire you on the spot. LOL
Merry Xmas!

Ah, how I miss a good Pollo a la brasa! :roll:

I have to agree with Kelly on this one. My mom used to make twice a year (no more please) Guiso de Habas. My goodness, those little stinkers smelled like socks!

They were peeled, before cooking them in a stew (a stinky one).

mammalu

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've had 8 years of ceviches, anticuchos and menus - I'm looking for something besides standard Peruvian fare - partly because I'm craving variety and partly because I'm trying to introduce my husband and our kid to other foods besides what they've grown up with. :) ...

A few years ago, I bought seed packages of Aji Verde (amarillo) at ACEs (Plaza San Miguel). Would Tottus or any similar place with a hardware/garden section carry them?

Eat healthier and exercise more. Happy 2012 to everybody¡

Nice ambiance, attentive service. The portions were large, enough to share (we took some home).
Pricier than a regular chinese restaurant in Lima, but it was worth it.

Just boil some noodles and mix with the sauce. It's like a peruvian mac & cheese. This might sound gross to some but fry up some decent beef hotdogs, chop them up, mix them with the noodles and you have a very quick fusion dish :D Humm, sounds like something my son (at college) would really enj...

Hello, Té Quiero Té and Quinta Esencia are both good: good selections of teas, nice ambients and really good people. And at Quinta Esencia you can also sit down with a pot of tea. I myself am starting up a small teashop in San Isidro, opening within the next few weeks. More info at: http://www.face...

I'm with you guys with respect to car alarms and car horns. They are so overused as to have become meaningless; I think people just filter them out (I know I do). I would also like to see more equality, a better distribution of the wealth, and an elimination of the AFPs in favor of a government-run...

Guys, the OP started this request, let's not hijack his/her post and advertise others. You could easily start another post.

mammalu

I've realize most of what's happening around the world is not being covered in the Peruvian media, not surprisingly so, "perception management" is very well carried out in countries like Peru. But to dismiss what is blatantly obvious means people are either ignoring history and not paying...

mammalu

Why didn't you say anything? El que calla, otorga Not criticizing you, just surprised as you are a very vocal person (or in writing at least). The situation was totally unacceptable at that store. Your point is very very valid. I agree with you, but when you 'dilute' it with excessive (even though i...

Thanks! I posted it on my Facebook.

Done!
From my desktop, my IPhone and My laptop. :lol:

One of my brothers graduated from Leoncio Prado. Nice guys. After so many years after graduation, they have a large group in the USA and they meet regularly in NYC.

Just for you information you old perverts that it´s absolutely true an older dude who prefers younger women is automatically a perv? it's a latina thing anyway. they often prefer older men, even ones from their own income bracket who are peruvian. they like the maturity, many latino younger guys ar...

Ok, I'm a little confused about this so please forgive me if this is a dumb question but can't you get that CE thingy, become legal, then buy a domestic LAN ticket @ the lower Peruvian price as a Peruvian resident? Kindly explain, thanks. Explain what, exactly? I don't like the idea of paying one f...

I admit to have read only a few of your posts, as I lost interest when I saw and noticed the same pattern over and over. But that is another point, for another time and it is not my intention to insult or offend anybody. As having a sibling who contracted polio and has lived with it for over 50 year...

I can only speak for my demographic segment and it works very well when the wife is Peruvian and the husband is non-Peruvian (gosh, too much PC? lol). Many, way too many of my Peruvian female friends stayed in long marriages for the children (at least they thought they were helping the kids). With t...

Instant coffee saved the day - literally. I could have died. I don't even know what brand it was. I bought it in a desperate panic at the Listo around the corner, and threw away the sachet as soon as I was able to dissolve the power and insert the IV into my throbbing skull. I recall from my somnol...

I remember as a young girl in LIma, going to the 'chacras' owned by family or friends. It was common to see the special water dispensers for chickens and the water was pink due to the amounts of 'terramicina', which came as a red powder. Terramicina was used to prevent the chickens (hens, poultry) f...

In New Jersey I only had to sign the back of the Title, without notarizing my signature. That was the easy part. The buyer registering the car on his name is the one that has to prove his ID, insurance, etc.

Sadly, this is true. Condescending comments, veiled insults, patronizing attitudes do not belong in this Forum.

Oh and "mammalu," I see what you're doing here, having curiously jumped in to take the thread off topic. The writing style used in the first two paragraphs is curiously out of character. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you would be a little more reasonable in the future if you choose to ...

4. Confronting a Peruvian about his or her behavior is really something that should be left to another Peruvian, or at least someone who understands Latino culture and can adequately speak the language. If you confront a yanqui that way in the States, you're liable to get punched in the nose. That'...

I have lived long time overseas and remember with delight the Peruvian politeness and manners were always above other countries. (BTW, I am Peruvian). The comments made are regarding something very new to our culture, cell phones. Yes, I tell my children, there were no internet and cellphones when I...

mammalu

If it were just one, but there were several. I have to admit, I am so tired of the ad-naseum need to compare this to the USA. I clearly did NOT do that in my post and I could care less what it is compared to another country and do not see how that is pertinent to the discussion. However, if one cho...

mammalu

Thanks Alex and Calygirl, will make sure to visit that Chifa on my next trip.

mammalu

I don't really get the question...it is as if you are suggesting because you do not like it, it is unfathomable to you why anyone would. But it is true! so many of us, when we dislike something (i.e. a vegetable or a particular food) it is hard for us to understand why others do! Just posting the q...

Kelly,

Can you find China Wok only in Lima? Is that a Peruvian chain? I tried it and liked it. My husband didnt like the Chifas we went to in Lima.

As Tupac said, I would have a lawyer look at the document. I used a lawyer in Lima, not expensive. Also, my landlord attached to the lease a detailed inventory of the place, which I only had to check and sign. Landlords also have to protect themselves, my landlord suffered over $700 in expenses to a...

From Europe, about 3 days. Now, from Peru to the USA, it took forever. We used then Citibank (what a joke).

What about bank fees? from Europe they hit me once (the European bank) and again here the US Bank.

Kelly, I love the food at Bolivariano. I will try to make this this sauce (remember, I was always after something similar). The only difference, I will blend all the ingredients, not cook them. As it has milk, I will assume it cannot stay for too long in your fridge. Otherwise, make a smaller portion.

People are writing as if we're in Saigon, 1975, and the spirit of Ho Chi Minh in Andino guise is swarming into the capital, scalping every free market gringo in sight. You better take a mototaxi to the US Embassy on the double! It's the last bastion of civilization in this new heart of darkness. I ...

Yes, I work for a Peruvian company here. They just called my house, asked for my address and then just came to the door. The officer refused to show his badge or give his name, but eventually did. Absolutely, they are up to no good. Why did you give them your address? If they are legit and working ...

A brilliant effort at premoting the brand. Wonderful effort and only the start of bigger things to come. Well done PERU. Very very true. I also like Mole, all types, even the ultra spicy red Mole. But I don't put down other people's choices. Nothing good or constructive to say, then don't say it. :...

Thanks Kevin! LOVED IT. Just put it on my Facebook.

AT, Sorry to hear that. I hope that with time and when they have their own families, they will understand your position better. Keep you heart always open, it is never too late. A relative of mine married a peruvian woman and it ended in divorce. She gave him the children to raise (2), and he enroll...

They took pictures, they got confirmation at the scene from witnesses (including his wife), they got DNA evidence. For most people, that is sufficient. For those who doubt, it won't matter how much proof is shown. If they have a dozen expert witnesses do independent testing of the DNA, a million pi...

mammalu

Agree. I wish also the courts would update their archaic laws and see that nowadays, with both parents working, men should have an equal chance to have custody (even full) of their children. I know fathers that are absolutely great in parenting, loving and caring for a child.

After reading about the wardrobe malfunctions, we definitely need pictures! Kelly, dont forget your camera! Hope everybody has fun.

mammalu

Very nicely said, as it comes from the heart. Have a nice and safe trip!

I agree that the words are a little bit down but you must examine the whole anthem to judge its merits. The lyrics apply more to the times of Peru's emancipation from Spain; times where there was a lot of forced submission and 'la mita', a sort of slavery. It is a hymn that proclaims a new Freedom. ...

I am confused, are easter eggs edible ? It is not traditional in Peru to buy easter eggs (edible or not) during the Easter week (semana santa), nobody around me buy it, neither friends nor relatives. I bought them at Wong's. Many years ago at San Remo, Parisi, Repetto...etc. all the italian bakerie...

mammalu

YES! huevos de pascua de chocolate. Perugina had some nice ones. My dad used to buy ones that were probably 12 inches tall. Things have changed maybe? (I don't see anybody playing Jacks any more (little bouncing ball with 10 jacks, one of the regular prizes inside the Easter Egg).

mammalu

This brought back memories! When I was a little girl in Lima, I remember my father buying for Semana Santa -"Easter" enormous chocolate eggs wrapped in beautiful colorful metallic paper. You could buy them at the Italian bakeries. A couple of years ago I saw small Easter eggs at Wong's (co...
