Hi all, I've received several emails inquiring similar things so! Answers: Everything is less than 2 years old, besides the 30" TV and small fridge, and in very good to excellent condition. I am selling these things now until whenever they are gone (which is ideally by mid-August!) I will get p...

jajaja kate that would have been AMAZING...along with root beer, of course!

nah... there were brownies and cookies, though...

uwwgal

yes, that is true... and once your name is on there, you only have 7 months to deny it if you don't think the baby is yours. yes, there would be legal and financial implications. you would go through what is called juicio de alimentos and they would determine the amount... usually at least 30 to 50%...

It was interesting, but no overly new or surprising information. It was an excellent opportunity to get to hear the ambassador speak and for people with little experience outside the States, or that have been here for a short period of time, quite beneficial. There was no mention of the election unt...

It's at 6pm. I am going. It says to arrive between 5 and 5:30 to go through security, and you need to bring your passport!

uwwgal

with a CE due to marriage? i believe none.

with a CE due to work? you need a form from your employer that states you are up to date with your taxes.

uwwgal

Hey all, I know this is a popular topic, but I have a few questions that I haven't found answers to in the archive. First, I know that after having a CE for 2 years, you can apply to change your status to Migrant. With that, are you able to get a DNI, or is that a completely different tramite? How l...

a teaching certificate usually is not necessary for foreigners at any school if you are a local hire...however a college degree is. jobs at the international schools pay much better, but it is difficult to get a job at them even with a teaching certificate bc they hire their foreigners abroad, not o...

Jaja... yep, agreed.

panera. walgreens. my friends and family. my car... and drivers that actually follow traffic rules.

Who knows if it is actually true or not. This country is so blatantly corrupt that either it is true or they are getting paid by Humala's crew to say that. I wouldn't put it past either one. Regardless, Humala himself is a human rights offender...Keiko's dad was a HR offender, but at least Keiko isn...

Sharon!!! Congrats!!!

i had a surplus of peeps earlier this year... my mom brought me like 5 little boxes of them, lol. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait til Easter to eat them, and I rationed them out and they are gone. Even more unfortunately, my mom brought 2 cadbury eggs... my favorite candy of the whole year! Those wer...

I have claro internet (2mb), cable, and phone (250 international minutes) for about $70 a month. I have no problems with any of it. My bills for the month, including rent, maintenance, electricity, cable/internet/phone, cellphone, and food are around $1000. I do, however, eat out ALL the time. I'm i...

They're American... which means that they would have to get a visa to enter Brazil - which is $150... and there is a fee to enter Bolivia (I believe it's $100). There is a fee for Chile too, but only flying into Santiago.

uwwgal

Euroman.... I'm pretty sure that's not how it was at all. It is my understanding that under Fujimori, the poor began to get running water, electricity, and roads.

I would venture to guess that the majority of people who voted for Keiko aren't the upper and middle class...

I wouldn't opt for a hostel if I were going to be somewhere for 2 months with small children! Have they tried looking on elcomercio.pe? Otherwise... look into hiring someone to house hunt. Does it have to be near Jockey? There are tons of furnished apartments in Miraflores, for example. There are ap...

i run on the malecon from parque de amor (mas o menos) to magdalena and back, and i've never had a problem... and i run with an ipod.

i agree the safety issue is to not get hit by a car or run over by a skater, jaja

I live in MF and the majority of my friends are expats, and I am still fully aware of the elections. I don't understand how ppl couldn't be aware of it. Even if you don't speak a word of Spanish, it's a bit difficult, especially in MF, not to notice the 1000000000000000 campaign billboards and the p...

IMO, if Humala wins, this country is lost. You do understand, correct, that there is a dependency on tourism? If Humala wins, my guess is that tourists would stop coming, or wouldn't be allowed / welcome... and everyone depending on them would be worse off. And that is not Lima... and that is not th...

i live in front of miraflores bars and i dont see crime happening. i dont think they usually make it overly obvious...nor do i think that crime is a huge issue in miraflores...(knock on wood!!)

uwwgal

Ummm... if this is indeed true, I would be a bit careful if I were you. There seem to be a lot of red flags here. There are plenty of language institutes and native English speakers with teaching experience available to tutor ppl - and even more so if the family is wealthy - so this whole thing does...

if i were by myself, i would not get a taxi on the street outside the airport. however, i rarely travel by myself...and if i do, my bf will take me to and from the airport. if i am with my bf (he's peruvian), and we need a taxi, we get them on the street. we also don't travel with much luggage, thou...

the CE is your work visa...

contact migraciones and ask them what exactly you need to bring from the states to get your CE, and if there is a way you can expedite the process... my CE is as a worker, so i dont know what exactly you need to do to get one for being married to a peruvian. if you have to go to interpol, you can fi...

my parents have also sent me a ton of packages via USPS...and I have received everyone. the first few went to the main post office in Lince and were a pain to get, but they got here safe and sound. now my mom only sends small packages and they come right to my apt. but saying that, sometimes i have ...

at a non- international school, perhaps... or at a language institute. if you want to teach at most international schools, you need to have your teaching certificate. perhaps, though, you could get hired as a pysch at a school.

25 soles isn't expensive... not for Lima anyways. And I wouldn't eat on Calle de las Pizzas (and I live like 2 blocks from it), nor would I recommend it to others.

The bill is to get rid of the unions' collective bargaining rights... which means that when it is time to negociate things like insurance, they can't. Thus, I'm guessing 9 times out of 10, the school board (in the case of teachers) will raise the amt that teachers have to pay towards their insurance...

uwwgal

I am from WI.. and I was a teacher there. I highly doubt that a bill going through WI is going to cause people to flee the States. Furthermore, it is not a war against workers and unions. The state is divided because of the current economic situation and the amount the benefits of public employees c...

I really like Antica... the special garlic bread is super delicious (it's just garlic bread with cheese on it..so not really that special buttttttttttttt yummy!), and their sangria is really good. I would recommend it, especially with the discount! I just have BEX... not the CTS (buuu) so I don´t ge...

Well... it depends. Most, if not all, foreign contract hires for the main bilingual schools require you to be an actual certified teacher. Once you get here, if you are not a certified teacher, you would be able to find a job in a colegio teaching English because you have a degree in English. The pa...

1) Yep. 2) It's fine. Depends where you go, I suppose. 3) In Lima... Miraflores and the malecon, downtown Lima (plaza de armas, plaza san martin, iglesia san francisco), Museo Larco, Parque de la Reserva (fountain park), etc. What do you like to do and how long will you be in Lima? That would narrow...

I did not get any special shots before I came here. I had already had all the standard shots required for going to school in the States... and my tetnis booster I had just gotten before going to Costa Rica in 2007. I already had both the hep series, though. I am going to get the yellow fever vaccine...

to go to the corner, you have to pay a cover charge upfront of 70 soles.

GO PACKERS!!!!! (not that I actually care, but I'm from WI soooooo! lol)

i lived in la molina when i first moved here, and like san borja, i felt that they were lovely places to be if you had a family with small children. however, i dont have children, and all my friends lived in the miraflores area, and at that time i also worked in miraflores. if i didnt leave an hour ...
