But why would you need special pisco sour classes? I think that on YouTube you can find a lot of instruction films... In my house I regurarly prepare like Pisco- and Maracuya Sour as well as f.i. Capitan and to my opinion (and that of others) they actually taste "quite well" Never heard of...

The other day I read on the Migraciones site under "Salida y reingresa ciudadanes extranjeros residentes" that, when leaving or re-entering Peru, also the following document(s) should be presented: "(Para las calidades migratorias de; Trabajadores Residentes (WRA), Inversionista (IIA)...

Since a couple of months I have serious internet problems with my CLARO cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S5). As long as I stay in my house using the WIFI connection, there is no problem at all: I can use all apps, without any problem (OK I also have a very slow WIFI connection, but that is another story)....

There is quite a number of surfing schools along the Circuito de Playas in Miraflores.
Could anyone recommend one (or more) of them?
What do their lessons cost?
Thanks!

For drinking I use bottled of boiled water. For washing my mouth after cleaning my teeth, I also use tapwater as I don't swallow the water. For cleaning my vegies, including lettuce and tomatoes, I use tapwater. Not really "perfect", but sofar without problems (ok, without taking into cons...

Received a reply from mr. Muñoz Wells, alcalde de MF, saying that it is the responsibility of Lima Metropolitano. So I today replied, that, to my opinion, despite that it might be the responsability of Lima Metropolitano, it is (in the sole) interest of the habitants of MF that this work is complete...

JanD

Thanks Marco!
Just wrote an email to Jorge Muños Wells, with two photos explaining everything!
Let's see if anything happens at last.
Hahaha .. I was getting more and more annoyed by the words "estamos trabajando para usted" .... accompanied by a total and complete silence and inactivity!

JanD

Passing on the Malecon de La Marina, one can see a sign at the beginning of Parque Maria Reiche saying: "Disculpe las molestias estamos trabajando para usted". It concerns the works on the (re)new(ed) pedestrian fly-over, crossing the Circuito de Playas at that point. However, since MORE t...

W.a. using Skype on your cellphone/laptop or tablet. I use Skype to call my mother daily to her phone in The Neth. (she does not have a comp.) I pay a monthly fee of E 4,50 (something like that) for illimitate calls to all fixed phones in The Netherlands. Excellent quality (apart from Lima I called ...

JanD

Sergio, tks for the advise! I already looked at LAN, USD 299. but together with charges it became USD 405. However (your advise!) there was an offer of Peruvian Airlines which (including charges) came upon a total of USD 305 return ticket. Although I love travelling by bus (f.e. Lima - Cusco with Ex...

What is the best way to travel by bus from Lima to Sta. Cruz, Bolivia? I have abt. one week to get there and sofar was thinking of: 1. Lima - Cusco ((Excluciva).. stay one or two nights in wonderfull Cusco 2. Cusco - La Paz (Trans Salvador) . Stay one day and a half in La Paz 3. La Paz - Sta Cruz (T...

Anyone knows where to buy insect repellent (read: deet) in (preferably)Miraflores?
Also, any proper, well equipped outdoor shops?
Thanks!

JanD

The rentista part in the relative article on this site has changed. I forgot all about claiming my exempt (that's to say: I was not aware that when being exempted by law for paying the annual taxes, you still have to claim that exempt: that's imo a really "high level" bureaucracy). But ok,...

JanD

I have been told at the embassy that it is also possible to get a permanent travel permission (made up by a notary public). In that case the other (or both?) parents only have to give their permission once by signing this deed...

JanD

A practical problem. Normally airlines check whether a traveler has all the necessary papers before being allowed on a plane. But what will happen in this case? As I think the airline cannot check whether a traveler already stayed 183 days in Peru during the previous 365 days, the traveler will be a...

JanD

My dear Sherlock ....that were some well thought and very effective ideas :lol:

JanD

In the municipality (of Miraflores, so certainly also of San Isidro and other parts of town) they have a registration of the properties and the owners, also used for collecting taxes. I presume that the registration key is the property. But I think it that you can do a search on (correct) name, f.i....

JanD

And what about "Conducta deshonrosa"?

JanD

I'm so sorry that I'm at the moment in The Netherlands, otherwise I certainly would have donated!
But I hope a lot of members step forward to help this girl!

JanD

In 2015 the Visa requirements for Tourists from Peru to Shengen is lifted, they are working on it as we speak.

I hear this already for the last couple of years, but sofar nothing.
So I really wonder when this will be efectuated.

JanD

Hello Fanning,
you are right but there appear to be some Dutch health insurances intended for foreigners or Dutch living abroad.
I selected one on this site: http://www.reisverzekeringblog.nl/reisv ... enlanders/

JanD

Tks for the correction Adrian!

JanD

Thank you all for your valuable information and advise! I downloaded a TAM which I will fill in and present together with my passport and CE to Peruvian Customs when leaving Peru. When returning to Peru, I will present my passport and CE and check that Peruvian Customs enter the CE number in my pass...

JanD

I'm living here with a Rentista status and going to The Netherlands for two months.
What is the best thing to do?
Leave Peru on my CE Rentista or on my Dutch passport?
And before leaving Peru do I have to do some paperwork for DIGEMIN or other official institutions?
Thanks again!

JanD

Tks all for the info!
In the meantime I also found some Dutch companies who offer that kind of Insurance at a very competitive price.

JanD

I don't have a Health Insurance here in Peru. But as I will travel to Europe the end of next week for two months, I prefer to have a Travel Insurance for this period. Does anyone know were I can take out a reliable travel Insurance? Apparently the Travel Insurance " https://www.insureandgo.com/...

A friend of mine, renting an appartment in an apartment building, has a serious electric breakdown, due to bad electric wiring. Almost certainly most or whole of the wiring has to be replaced and she is afraid she has to pay for it. However, to my opinion it is the owner who is responsible for the (...

JanD

Finally an update!
As the shop on "La Paz/Bolivar" wasn't there anymore, I contacted "aseototal.com.pe".
They did a very good job leaving my carpets spic-and-span!
They charge 150 Soles ("now" on offer 100 Soles) for 25 sqm and 6 Soles for each extra sqm.

JanD

OK, tks for your reactions!
Apparently have to make it myself, so just give it a try...

JanD

Anyone knows where to buy (deep frozen) Puff Pastry also called Danish Pastry?

It is "quite difficult" to prepare it yourself and in The Netherlands it is available (deep frozen) in almost all supermarkets.
However, sofar can't find it here...

JanD

What abt going back to the topic?

JanD

Back in 2004 we constructed a second floor, including kitchen-corner, living/sleeping space, of abt 6 x 8 mts of laminated wood, supported by a frame of wooden beams: self supporting floor, walls, roof (wooden sheets with on top corrugated plastic sheets as a rain protected layer). Partly painted, m...

Add "Peru" to your search keywords. There are quite some sites on the internet, although not all "very interactive". Examples are Ripley, Saga Fagabella, Linio (all types of consumer goods). A considerable number of smaller companies also use "Mercadolibre" (Peru!) as i...

JanD

Adrian, Tks very much! The site of Women on Waves is really excellent and gives all the necessary information and support! I already knew this organisation a couple of years ago, when still living in The Netherlands, when they were demonstrating also against the Irish Abortion Policy. But was not aw...

JanD

Tks mammamia.....

JanD

Tks. sofar for the replies :!: But there are people like "charliebee" who, in their twisted :twisted: mind, think that "Little Jan" is responsible for this :oops: So this is to inform all those people that "Little Jan" has been made "harmless" many, many years...

JanD

OK, you undoubtedly have checked that you have to pass customs to enter the Schengen territory to do all this and yes in that case the Schengen visa is required for your wife and children. However, the apostille has nothing to do with the language of the document, but is an authentification of the d...

JanD

As you stated the UK and Ireland are not part of the Schengen treaty. Consequently, being a Peruvian (and other), you indeed need a separate visa to travel to those countries. When my Peruvian wife (living in The Netherlands in those days still without her Dutch nationality) and I wanted to visit th...

JanD

As far as I know your wife and children in this case do not need a Schengen visa. You travel to Ireland (non Schengen country), making a stopover/change of flight in Madrid. They will have to remain in the "international area" of Barajas Airport and will not be allowed to pass customs to e...

A young daughter of one of my friends unwantedly became pregnant. She apparantly is in her first/second month. She at the end decided that she wants to have an abortion, however forbidden here in Peru. But there are a certain number of doctors who do abortions. However nor my friend, nor me have any...

JanD

Tks for the reminder!
Although I love Pisco Sour, I prefer Maracuya Sour or Camu Camu Sour.....

JanD

Yes, I did May last year. Although a streneous two days' walk to get there, the reward made it all worthwhile. Somewhere else on this forum I wrote something more about getting there..... The article in The Peruvian Times is indeed very well written (to my humble opinion) and gives a lot of detailed...

JanD

OK, I'll give it a try :!:

I just downloaded and installed Navitel and the Perut maps on my Samsung.
Although I'm a bid addicted to Google Maps...... :oops:

JanD

I've Google maps on my Samsung Galaxy and sofar quite satisfied with it.

Is there any reason to prefer Perut v4.30?

JanD

Problem solved (at last).. :idea: I bought the spare parts in China through DHGate.com, as none of the US based companies I contacted (through Amazon.com) shipped those parts to Peru. The Chinese company even send me for the price of the lcd/glass screen a new back cover, the frame parts and two pro...

Best visit one of their mayor servicecenters/shops te get this information!

PM Adrian Thorne. I think to remember that his wife (or he as well) is/are (an) Insurance broker(s). Anyway, I used Grupo Prado (which might be their company) for my health- and fire Insurance. To use a corredor/Insurance broker has the benefit that they can give you offers from different Insurance ...

JanD

And places like Mercado no. 1 and no. 2 in Surquillo?
Easy to get there and especially at Mercado no. 1 (Ricardo Palma/Via Expresa) they sell products, elsewhere difficult to find, like Sachaculantro and Bihau.
So I would suggest you to try there as well.

JanD

There is another problem: the data on the memory of the phone (not the sd card) are only accessible after typing the password ..... on the screen :oops:
