You know you have lived in Peru for 2 weeks when:

  • You have to stop yourself from kissing your American acquaintances on the cheek when you greet them.
  • You are not bothered when vehicles you are riding in follow the white dashed line rather than drive alongside it.
  • You automatically tune out hisses, whistles, and weird pick-up-lines in broken English when walking down the street.

Quote of the Week

Me: I kissed a random stranger today.
Amanda: Really! Oooh...
Me: His name is Miguel. He is a money changer.
Dale: Oooh Miguel.

Ok, so maybe 2 weeks of cultural acclimation is still not enough for us.

Miguel. Nice sounding name. A money changer, eh? Can that take care of you and the kids you will have? Just messing yo.

I just talked to this girl today about her sister that taught at a mission school in Peru for like 8 yrs or something. I guess she loved it so hopefully you will too!
