Fear of un-healthy curiosity might put some people off from seeking medical advice in the first place, think about it... Due to a feeling of shame, many seek medical advice only when it's too late..

At the pharmacy, you can find multivitamins with Ginseng supplement, all in one box named Biocord, which is specific in case of mental and physical stress.

This might sound obvious, but taking a few deep breaths and trying to relax whilst eating helps, also, not thinking or talking about serious issues or anything one is worried about during a meal. Also, generally, it helps to see life as a half full rather than a half empty glass of water ! This is a...

Yes, well I do think as people get older they generally take more notice of news as they spend more time at home, also giving more importance to enjoying meals than persons in their 20's whose thoughts are more on their upcoming outings.

I'm very curious whether the expats in Peru watch America Noticias or Canal N in the morning or evening? I watch and I always see "cogoteros", bank robberies (marcas), corrupt police, Americans who throw Peruvian people out of windows, etc.... Does this stuff bother you or do you rarely p...

Persons who use terms such as "acomplejados" in response to someone raising a general issue, do so to bring things down to a personal level, in order to destabilize someone. To best make someone doubt, apologize, you need to work on emotions on the unconscious level. Some call it the power...

A while back, I went to a Claro branch and asked for a contract to be made in my name. I've been using my phone normally since, but just recently thought to check my Claro info on http://www.miclaro.com.pe and discovered that my number is registered under an unknown man's name and with his DNI. I've...

I've noticed several contradictions, exagerations on this type of theme in this and various threads, from otherwise seemingly intelligent persons, and wondered where that comes from... there's a fine line between a protective attitude/advice, and scaremongering. Thinking about it, I wonder how much ...

The following article (dated 31st March 2013) mentions the kidnap and killing of one of Honduras' best known journalists, and somewhere in the middle of the article, a list of the most dangerous cities in the world. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2301917/San-Pedro-Sula-Honduras-city-tops-li...

I went today and it's true, no more fee for the exoneration/F-007 form for those married to Peruvians! They also handed me back the notarized guarantee letter from my wife, even though I'm pretty sure the DIGEMIN page says that's one of the requirements. So all you need is the F-007 form, a marriag...

alchemist

as sbaustin wrote, for the renewal, you can obtain the free f-7 form at immigration reception, fill it in and go to the bank in same building to pay the fee, hold on to the receipt. Go to the second floor with, in hand, a less than 3 month old original of the mariage certificate (if peruvian), a wri...

I have no idea how long I'll stay in Peru. I wouldn't be able to forget Colorado, at school I had a teacher who was a real fan of the USA and especially Colorado, he showed us loads of slides about his travels there.

My list: -very little crime and very clean streets I'd add that in the past few years, I've noticed more and more trees being planted along roads, streets becoming cleaner, and rubbish being picked up in places that wasn't a few years ago.

The interesting thing about dictators is that the more violent they are. More people end up missing them. No matter the nation there is certain degree of sadism and masochism in everybody in order to miss such monsters. Interesting that you mention that. A recent theory from psychotherapists sugges...

Once a bookworm and still a keen reader, I once visited a second-hand bookstore store and was plunged into another world. I went to a part of the store where I found a few very old and dusty books, and after a while, a tall, white-haired middle-aged black salesman, wearing small golden round glasses...

Good info, read the case of a man in Britain victim of a con artist, took him months and months to prove it wasn't actually him who had committed the offences. Being dual national, I read some time ago that to renew a british passport apparently one has to adress a request to Washington if living in...

I am curious to know what phenomenon in nature could cause the death of a large quantity of bees from a group of beehives in summertime Lima over a few days, producing a slow death in some of them, saye, living in the same beehives and land for a year or years, otherwise healhy and productive.

Had a brief exchange about spirituality with Bill, the content of his message was enough for him to come across as a thoughtful and considerate person, an indication of the "spiritual" value of a human being. For those of us who believe in an afterlife and the paranormal, Bill, that may in...

Writing this, I am thinking how one is simply blessed to be alive. It is not a thought that would-understandably- cross the mind of everybody in this world, especially people who experience hardship, poverty or tragedies, some maybe even pray to God asking why they are on Earth to endure their fate....

My wife has told me many times to not come with her when asking for a price, in many different districts in Lima...as well as when we are trying to take a taxi, I stand away from her while she asks the price. Basically, if a native Peruanian says there is a problem with this, I believe them. My hus...

Let's not judge on outer appearance, in my experience, I've always found that people with dreadlocks, black or white, are very nice persons. I have not "always found" much of anything to be set in stone. You are asking me not to judge, but you have judged that all persons with dreadlocks ...

richorozco, thanks for taking the time to have a look at my website and the fascinating insight you gave on peruvian working mentality.

In most countries that attract international travelers, it's safe to assume that you'll come in contact with persons of limited means. Some good, some bad.

Dear Renodante, Saying that writing here is not real life is rather a subjective statement; not having a photo, actual name on the profile does not make one, what one expresses, any less real, responsibility for actions still exist.

Peru having such an incredible variety of medicinal plants growing in the different regions, I'm surprised to find it so difficult to find 100% natural essential oils in Lima, except eucalyptus which I bought in an outdoor market.
