Alan, your evaluation is 100% correct IMO. The CoVID 19 virus has made sellers a bit more inclined to accept discounted cash offers. My only concern is the very high humidity (90%) many months of the year. The music festival is always scheduled during the best months weather-wise. Thanks for your f...

My understanding is Peru sold out of medical marijuana. I am still searching for CBD oil. If anyone knows where I can purchase, please PM me. Thanks. "The ministry of health bought 10 liters of CBD oil, with an almost 5% concentration" Very simple to understand. https://www.livinginperu.c...

I would imagine that allowing tourists to stay longer than 90 days would be good for the economy.

To discourage squatters.

Another problem you might encounter is whether or not the CBD oil isn't a part of a scamming operation.
A lot of trouble you may go through and it's low grade quality.
Hopefully you didn't go the "free trial" route...

Hey all what's up? I've been living here in Peru for about a year and a half now and have yet to hear about any metal shows.

Better to invest those extra soles in something tangible like an underwater restaurant.

Do you think Lima will ever have an underwater restaurant?

I can’t help you with the costs but I would suggest building something very secured and fortified since you’re looking to build in a poor area of the city.

As for raising money, maybe take out a personal loan or borrow from someone.

why not get it unlocked? Depends on the carrier. Some won't unlock it unless you have service with them for a certain amount of time. Would be useless for him being in Peru not to mention throwing money away. AT&T is more lenient with their phones. They'll send you an unlock code if you're a ne...
