A thought came to mind... How do you think your going through the stages affects your children? Do the expats married/partnered with Peruvians feel that their children evolve differently to other children in the same environment? Of course you evolve differently, or maybe the right word might be th...

I think that descriptions need to accurate and proper. Whenever a series descriptions
fit a word. Then use the word instead, if uncivilized and backward are words that fit
the truth. They need to be used repeatedly.

You have to take in account that due to certain circumstances (sometimes, mainly
money), there is people (Peruvians and Non Peruvians) that ended up on this country
against their will. So they have every right to complain about it.

Why do you think I left.

I think that the current comparison between the US and Peru is unfair because of the following: The US is currently in its economic decline, with a heavy increase on poverty which is normally shared by a heavy increase on violence. Peru is now close to its economic peak, which normally should be sha...

There is a great amount of bilingual Peruvian legal residents and citizens living in the States.
Don't you think that if there was a demand for English speakers, they would be the first to
apply and come back?

falconagain

You should not be surprised about hating it. Many Peruvians that lived abroad have similar opinions about Peruvian Culture. Gianmarco (Peruvian Singer) has been loudly complaining online about it. Christian Meyer (maybe I got the last name wrong, Famous Peruvian Actor), had some strong words about h...

Healthinsurance? Doctors and dentists aren't expensive. When I go to the doctor, I got to the in-house doctor at Boticas Arcángel. They charge 5 soles for a consultation. I had some dentistry work done and paid 35 soles. Healthinsurance is for when you need it. Some years ago my son had a appendici...

Having lived in Peru and suffered several incidents when the use of a gun would have helped me to avoid and deter damage to myself. I would rather have a gun and the ability to use it within the law instead on relying on a police force that cannot be everywhere all the time. I would say that a signa...

I have never understood those that feel that we can ONLY talk about our experiences here if we compare them to other countries. Because they make it sound as if it only happened here (Peru and Latin America) and not in the "first" world. But everybody in Peru has a right to free opinion (...

This might become a trend if the police does not penalize properly the guilty party.

Insurance companies should put blackboxes in every bus. If there was reckless driving involved
then the insurance does not need to pay any benefits as reckless driving should not be covered.

Looks like things are going downhill again. So back to normal for the US.

Classism implies the restriction of certain groups to escalate in society. But in Peru the Chinese inmigrants moved from the bottom of society (they arrived as slaves in the 19th century) to middle and high class within Peruvian society. The same has happened with the new Chinese Peruvians brought ...

It is my personal opinion, which comes from Europe classism, because if the conquerors of Peru, many of them were beheaded including Almagro and his son at the Convent of Las Mercedes, in Cuzco; Francisco Pizarro himself, whose head in Lima, and so did his brother Gonzalo, who is co-discoverer of t...

Yes, I am not comfortable with the national debt; but DON'T BET AGAINST THE USA! I have read about FISCAL PLANS, that would have "my country" debt free in 10 years or less. It is a matter of: 1. Decrease the entitlements (too generous & too many government programs) 2. Increase taxati...

If people sign for it. Then it is valid. Any lender has obligations to other lenders and there is
no way to recover this obligations unless there is a higher interest involved.

If you cannot afford the money then do not spend it.

A person needs to learn the difference between stereotypes which are based in
something false. And generalizations that are based on truth.

If it is a generalization based on truth. You are totally justified to act on that information.

The problem is that the Peruvian government has failed all its initiatives so far. Personnaly, I think the Peruvian government isn't doing too bad at all. And they have limited financial resources.

It is natural for a currency on QE to have certain amount of rallys increasing in value. It is simply the way of the economy to maximize the number of fools that end up under the bridge.

I definitely agree that fizzy drinks and high flat/sugar food advertisers shouldn't be advertised in schools. And I agree that schools in Peru should do more to promote healthy eating.

Misconceptions is a two way street. Peruvians also have a lot of ideas and entitlements about the
United States that do not make sense. But still they keep thinking that way in face of the truth.
