Cheap places are just fine, the cheaper the better. I'll look into these places mentioned above.

Yea, I have lived in Peru for quite some time. I am just looking for something different, but, within Peru - So, something smaller than Lima, could be in the mountains, although I think I would prefer the lowland near the jungle, near a river atleast. Wouldnt mind that it does see some tourist traff...

danjaker

They are strictly security. they cannot hold you.

danjaker

Well then I suppose we can open it up a bit more, what other towns similar to Iquitos and Tarapoto would you recommend ?

Yea, he just wrote me a few minutes ago......

danjaker

I do know a couple doctors, and also know one who does visit prisons on a regular basis just to volunteer, but yes it wouldnt come free. PM me if interested.

danjaker

Uhm... Thanks for your opinion, but I said I am looking for someone who lives there (or has lived there) Thanks anyway.

danjaker

I can have numerous friends of mine help you out, but it dosent come free.

danjaker

Does anyone here live in Iquitos ? Would like to ask some questions, thanks.

danjaker

No, this does not apply to me, jaja

danjaker

Thank you for your time answering that for me, yes would be here as none of us have any plans to go to the US at all now nor in the future.

danjaker

This answer may be out there, cant find it at the moment, but does the birth certificate and proof of being single paper have to be stamped in the US ? or can it be here? Thanks

danjaker

Got it, thanks -

danjaker

Lets say for example I am getting married to a Peruvian (me American by the way)
What papers and documents do I need from the US to do so, can anyone give me a checklist who has done this recently - Thanks .

Hi,
I am always looking for survival and camping equipment. Bags, ropes, cookware, water containers, fire starters, books, rain protection gear etc....

If you have anything related to this feel free to let me know, I am always looking and picking up new things.

danjaker

Perhaps with the jobs section no comments should be allowed. My suggestion would be that the ad should be aproved by a moderator, thereafter no comments permitted. If you need to know more, then contact the company or person responsible for the advert. Well that would be for the mod to decide, for ...

danjaker

Yea well just forget it, its just another sales job where you are overworked with little to no pay.

danjaker

Commission based salary ? So it is just another call center sales job.. ?

Might want to add expected pay for those who might actually be interested. These jobs are a dime a dozen.

danjaker

Has any American here been to the embassy of India in Lima for a visa? If so let me know - Thanks

danjaker

You should post the name of the hostel so people can look it up first.

danjaker

Internet I suppose.

danjaker

Yes, just ask for 183, if your really worried, say you need to because your getting married. No problem.

danjaker

Ok, you can bring me back Cheez-its, A1 Steak Sauce and Mrs. Butterworths syrup !

I have a Nikon D-5100 DSLR Camera - Comes with two lenses, tripod, reflector, backpack, two memory cards, cleaning supplies, all cables. I would post a picture but since I bought this less than 5 months ago, it still looks and works as if it were brand new. No noticeable scratches or signs of wear. ...

danjaker

I think you should start a new thread if were going so far off topic again - Explain what? - And no, I wasnt talking about you -

danjaker

Well having been through the struggles of dropping everything and coming here on a whim, and being stable and ok at this point, I enjoy helping others doing the same, not criticizing or smashing their hopes or aspirations... like some here lol -

danjaker

Wow, these people with nothing better to do than sit on expatperu all day long and completely turn around the point of the conversation are ridiculous. OP, dont worry, you have to do what you gotta do, just ask for as much time as you can get, thats all.

danjaker

I was living in Lima for 5 years doing a constant border hop every 6 months, now I have been out of the country for 2 months and have a flight back to Lima on the 12 Nov. Having read a few posts about a tougher stance on tourist visa "abuse" am I likely to have a problem getting back in a...

Obelisks. The sea south Mancora in Peru is cold. There are often big waves which is good for surfing but not so good more generally. I agree with the posters above that you might be disappointed. Mancora is probably the nearest to what you have in you head coming from Asia but is a small place. If ...

danjaker

Anyone know of any survival schools around the Lima area, (based around the Lima area) - Jungle Survivalist instruction, that kind of thing ? I think that you better inform in La Selva. There you might find better luck. In Lima, there isn't a jungle so it will be rare that there will be a survival ...

Surely SJM can't be that bad, can it?

SJM ?

You dont have to go far to bike the N. Yungas road, or better known as the death road. lol, although I would never do that again -

danjaker

The coast, yea, not so great That is your opinión. Personally, I think the Peruvian coast is great and certainly worth visiting. Well for those of us who have spent time on the coasts of Colombia, around South East Asia and other places, Peru's will be a huge let down, which is what the OP was comi...

danjaker

Take a look at the op's last comment.... then post - He is clearly open to Colombia as well, but maybe you missed that part. We are all in Peru for a reason, we dont hate it. Obviously some of us like other places a little more than here. You should read more carefully to what we are saying. He cle...

danjaker

Thank you Ken, Dan and Chi Chi. I will take on board your comments about Colombia. Of course, a few years ago I would never have considered going to Colombia because of the safety factor but today I understand it is safer and with a booming economy Your welcome. - And have no fear of Colombia, in m...

Please share.[/quote]

Currently I am working more than one - But, if I see more open positions in the future or see I need more employees, I will definitely share with you.

danjaker

Yea, dont let anyone get you down. That is important. Now, getting work here is difficult, and I myself am in a difficult situation, but because I am determined when looking for work, I have actually found good jobs here. Just recently I have found some really good positions. So, they are there, but...

Have some new un-tested harmful chemical lathered on your skin for $100 ..... lol, Try $1000, then you might get a few volunteers.

danjaker

Peru is not really known for having "great" costal towns, Mancora is popular, but 6 months is too long to spend there. There are some other places, but having spent time in Asia myself, you will not find a coastal town or beach here in Peru that compares to southeast Asia. - Colombia is yo...

.... And people wonder why humanity is going straight downhill

danjaker

I have friends here who have opened their own businesses, expats and citizens, and have friends within the government. Feel free to send me a private message or reply with your email, Ill get in touch.

danjaker

If you have a microphone/headset for a PC, preferably noise cancelling, reply with your email... thanks .

danjaker

danjaker

If I was "living the life" as he says, I would be living the life, not spending everyday on chatrooms and forums talking about it.. lol -

Any way, I am happy, dont have to have a lot of money to be, life is so much more than money.

danjaker

Chi Chi is one of those people that try to make themselves look better than everyone else by exaggerating and embellishing every aspect of their life to look good.. lol

danjaker

Living the good life is eating smoked salmon and fine wine on a romantic getaway. Did I mention the massages? I treated my friend to a spa and massage treatment at the luxury hotel and never asked her to give me one, never, not even once a day as you claim your gf does after a hard day at work to s...

danjaker

Yes, I worked for one call center a few months ago. I was there for about six months, and when I decided to leave they didn't want to give me the liquidation that corresponded to me! And I have a residence visa so I have all working rights, but lots of things are illegal here... You can get a free ...
