Going to Miami is a great option. To make it affordable you need to find a couple of other people who need stuff (that are not laptops) and split your airfare. Bring back the stuff unpackaged with the boxes folded up among other documents. We did this last year, bringing back a DSLR camera, a laptop...

I do not mind being reminded to stand at attention as one time the Peruvian anthem was playing and I had not heard it before and someone suggested I stand with respect. Being ordered by the police is NOT the same thing. I think the officer was suggesting rather than ordering, and as an individual a...

I am fine Stuart…thank you. If I were not fully recovered, do you think it would have been possible for me to author a thought provoking thread of this magnitude, thus unleashing a veritable maelstrom of discussion?

I plan on doing it early next year too. I was eligible a good few months ago, but wanted to have the elections out of the way first. Now that there's, or that there's about to be, no chance of being a citizen in time for the election, I'm putting off reading up and starting the process to avoid suff...

Could also be due to an increase in the number of foreigners, or a lack of desire to go home to their collapsed economies.

When you have your carnet you'll be able to get a lone for that amount based only on the deposits to the account as proof of income (so long as they are regular and repeated) However, depending on what ever your home country is, it is more that likely that you can get a loan of that size quicker, ea...

Every year I come to Peru in Nov. or Dec and stay till mid-April. After a month of so I get a motorcycle jones. It's 65 degrees F here in Kentucky today and I will be riding in a few.

The thing is, Peruvian children get brainwashed with religion from the age of 4. Most ´good´ private schools are strictly Catholic, and the non-Catholic private schools are filled up with Evangelicals, Jehova witnesses, Mormons and all sorts of other US-financed people who know the real truth. I´ve...

Also barely serious, I do generally believe it's good to offend the easily offended, not good for me but for them so that they might more easily survive a life were things are offensive.

It's good to offend people, but it's bad when people you offend take offense? That's a pretty one-sided arrangement you have there, and extremely convenient. No offense.

atheists are a contradiction, by believing there is not a God they are saying there exists a God to not believe in. what a good idea to form a group to give more attention to God!!

Stuart: For the record, I am against a "negative" group of any kind...But if an athiest group can be positive about their believes, I am all for it. One of my best friends when I was a student at Oxford is an athiest. One of the nicest people you could ever meet. I am not uncomfortable by...

OK Stuart..very well put on all of your points. My signature is actually not at all what you think...its a song from a Marx Brothers film sung by Groucho..funny but of no significance . Cool.

As an atheist I identify with much of what Kevin (Americorps) says about the pressure felt by religion being forced on you at every turn.

Closing down Central Lima can't be good for a large variety of businesses. The impact on travel times alone would probably be significant. I'll agree that travel across the centre will be painful, but it's not like it's a surpise (for a change! We cross downtown a lot and it's amazing how often the...

Not that I'm against Señor de los Milagros... he's the continuation of lord Pacha Kamaq, my favourite deity. The Christian part of the celebration is a bit off-putting, but remind yourself it's all really an indigenous pagan ritual to honour ancient Lima's earthquake god and it's all very admirable...

For the center of Lima the routes are usually published in El Comercio the day before, a necessity because of the amount of suffering caused to by-standers and negative impact on the economy.

It's not so freakishly cold in Chiclayo that the kids would be shivering all the time, lowering their immune system so they could catch colds. It's more likely to be a case of hygiene or diet. In Peru, nothing outside your own home that other people touch is ever ever ever washed, and Peruvians aren...

For those interested, you can often buy imported brands unavailable in supermarkets from vets, usually with a focus on mixes for specific medical conditions.

I've never understood how a ondulating shaking of a bed can wake someone up, surely it should have the opposite effect. It's good to know that should a major earthquake strike I'll die happily in my sleep.

The new policy simply means Peruvians are allowed to use PayPal - before with a Peruvian address and bank account you just were not allowed to receive money at all. You can now however receive money and transfer it to a US bank account, pretty much suiting some expats but no-one else. Just yesterday...

Stuart: The 183 day limit is the total amount they can give you on a single tourist visa. It doesn't refer to the number of days PER YEAR you are allowed to spend in Peru. Do you have a source for that? I'm looking at the text of the law right now and the 183 days improrrogables listed refers to th...

This is where I've heard of people mentioning that they were told about a 24hr or 48hr rule before checking back in - not in order to get a bribe, but just that it was the law. I'd like to see that law on paper. It would mean that when you stay in Tacna and you want to visit Arica, that you'll have...

By far the easiest crossing is the Aguas Verdes/Huaquillas crossing. Not only can you just leave the country as you please - must be great if you're a wanted criminal - but the border posts are, as everyone else states, a joke.

This is the way the law always worked, before the 2008 changes: - Visits by tourists from most countries are limited to 90 days, at discretion of border officer - These visits can be extended 3 times by 30 days, but not past 183 days - You can also leave the country and come back with another 90 day...

When did they change the law to allow tourists to stay for more than 183 days per year? That has always been the case despite all the revisions.

Just a guess, but there may be more interest in him being a bigamist than in being in a sham marriage. I think worse than than is that he has forged his US divorce papers. That can't be good.
