I wrote teaching your native language 5 hours a week, not per day. 5 hours a week should be pretty easy to do and that is very far from being a slave to someone and you make more at that than working all night. Not sure I understand your point about it. Again, if it was a lucrative business, ie top...

Well, euroman, your presumption sort of does not fit the reality. OSIPTEL now requires a second process for activiating your phone that requires a verified carnet or dni, so ignoring the rule will give you a phone that does not function. There also another way of communicating? http://www.cartoonst...

There is no such thing as free transportation to or from anywhere, in the same way there is no such thing as a free carrier bag from a supermarket. Somewhere along the line you will be paying through the nose for it. As Kelly said, if you are offered "free transportation" you've payed too...

I'm quite aware with regards to how informal businesses work. These same people who work at night and now make a couple hundred soles per month (a lot different from 100 soles per day). That's very little for a foreigner that could teach their native language for $5-$10 an hour. I don't know what y...

The Vivanda on Libertadores in San Isidro (and possibly other Vivandas too) has started selling some of the imported beers that Chez Phillipe sells.

There is a new rule from Osiptel that says you can no longer get a pre-paid cell phone with a passport, you must now present a carnet or DNI. I am not sure why the rules have been presented, just saw the notice at 3 different cell phone stores tonight. Pfff, there are a lot of notices of whatever a...

Police would take all your information, it's ok, it's their job. But what problems could there be if you didn't leave?

Profit or sales? 100 soles profit can be made a day. But it depends of yourself. If you sell bad food and treat your customers bad then you will be making a lot less. You can buy a second hand cart for 250 soles, buy stock and start selling. It's not a glamourous business and you won't become a mil...

Once, you have a good customer base you can easily make 100 A DAY. But you must give good service and keep the quality of your products at the same level.

100 per night profit or sales? Every night or just weekends pulling in the 100? The distinction matters greatly. You might not make 100 a day from day one.

If you find yourself in Lima airport, there is no way they would not allow you into the country. According to international rules, this would mean airline has to wear the costs of flying you back.
