Hello,
does the expatperu mailing list still exist ? I'd like to sell an item and I remember that one would always reach more people by using the list than posting on the forum, but maybe things changed.
Thanks a lot !

Hello, I bought this car seat a few years ago, but we only used it a few times and since I left Peru, it has been sitting in the closet. The brand is Cosco Scenera: http://www.costco.ca/Cosco-Scenera-Convertible-Car-Seat-Medallion.product.10363626.html I chose it because it was tested by Consumer Re...

I think you should realize that your kids need both of you and it's not about winning the kids, it's about finding what's best for them. Look at it from her point of view, unless she doesn't care for the kids, why would she agree to let them go and only see them once in a while (I don't know what yo...

Here in Peru, does the mother always win? I am guessing it is quite likely, although in western countries this is less the case than people seem to commonly think, but we are not in a western country. Guessing the fact that you pay and always have paid everything for the kids, including the house t...

I know that my ex, who's an account manager is very ponctual and his collegues also. I suppose that a person might have legitimate reasons for being late (believe it or not, I once had a bug entering my ear while I was going to an interview !), so I would ask them why they were late and what do they...

You can also check : http://pakarii.org/pakarii/intro.html When I was deciding whether to give birth in Lima (I had the same requirements as you), I was recommended the Dr Angela Brocker and this is her center.

You should see a doctor (and not a cheap one) for advice. I don't think laser treats hongos... Apparently Tea Tree oil helps, but I'm not sure if you can find it in Lima, but if someone ever comes to visit you from your country, ask them to bring it. It has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. ...

I was normally buying my eggs at the Bioferia, I've been to the Agraria and it's a very nice place, but I don't think it's organic there, unless it changed since I left. I don't remember what is free-range exactly , but if it's chicken which are allowed to run free, you can also find "huevos de...

There`s a French-Italian expat forum, called expat clic, if I`m not mistaken, but it`s not just for Peru. I`ve meet some French expats, but don`t know how well they spoke English, but generally, the few French people I know in Canada are somewhat shy about their English skills. I don`t think it`s a ...

I don`t know if it`s too late and your meeting is already finished (please give us an update), but just like others, I think you are simply being bullied. Honestly, go and find a quiet place in Peru! There`s always music, people screaming, dogs barking, doors slamming,.... As someone who generally r...

My novia found a job in a call center as her sister recommended her.

I totally agree about contacts, it works for professional jobs as well. It seems that many Peruvians are doing MBAs these days, so she will have competition.

There is a saying in spanish "un clavo saca otro clavo" I don't know how to make the best translation for it but it means that the last woman you share a life is like a nail that has been nailed deep into the wood. So the best way to extract that nail from you (the wood) is nailing anothe...

I moved to Lima in February to love and live with a Peruvian woman. We had been together for more than a year, most of it out of the country (Canada, Argentina). Last Friday we broke up. It was like a forgotten bomb from an old air war suddenly exploding from below. We thought we had cleared our li...

And to make matters worse, they have this nice oven in which they make their pizzas, and basically the children approach it ( also of other families ) and they give some dough, and let the children play and make a mini pizza. Very cute and all, but then without warning they make you pay S/. 10 for ...

Sorry to say, but it' s not true. I know well all those 3 rivers and the information you got on internet is not correct.

I'd like to talk about safety in Montreal, which I always considered safe... after all, in Quebec, most people don't lock their doors when they are home.

Thanks for the info. I can't say I know much about wastewater treatment but I would try and convince my company I did if it meant I could work in Peru! Not much chance we could compete with the Spanish on wages though. I also got interested because of that and it looks like a Canadian Co is applyin...

BTW Tamboada when completed (in two years) will treat 60% of Lima and Callaos waste.

I was also tryin...

There really is no need to remove to remove the "heavy metals" in Lima as the treated water is dumped into the ocean (as it always was) but now will have less impact on the marine life and the surfing beaches. Arequipa is different as the city is inland and the rio chilli is the major sou...

No wonder that Peruvian women are afraid of you gringos. Look how hard you`re making it for Mystery to meet decent women. :lol:

Your figures (while correct) are out of date. Currently there are projects in Lima that by 2015 will be treating 100% of the sewage for Lima and Callao or roughly a third of the population. Arequipa (2nd largest city)unfortunately has one old plant that is only capable of treating 11%. They are not...

anuta

Wastewater is not treated anywhere in Peru, there are no regulations about that. Then I can only assume that since Arequipa is in the desert, the sewage treatment plant that is processing 11% of the sewage was only a mirage! :shock: Alright, let me correct myself. There's is MINIMAL (=insufficient)...

Wastewater is not treated anywhere in Peru, there are no regulations about that.

But even in N.America, there are similar problems, although, I think we use drinking water for irrigation.

Americans are VERY bad at relationships and have the highest rates of singles and divorces in the world.

In Lima I would say only Hep A, maybe typhoid if that is an issue.

You don't need anything for Lima, though if you listen to all the advice given, you might want to bring a bullet-proof vest and a decent helmet. If you are going to be doing a lot of traveling, get all your shots here, they're cheap. But I would make sure that the shots are made in N. America or Eu...

Wikipedia has a pretty good article , with hard data, about drinking water in Peru. I got viciously sick the day after I arrived last week.
