If someone doesn't mind answering a few questions I would really appreciate it. They are all based on my notes from rttf. World travel 69 did a great job so I am pretty much well organized.

*This is my second trip to lima

1. Does the maria luisa now have in room safes or are they at the front desk and is there a charge ?

2. I really appreciated the post on the hostal/brothel near the polvo azules
market while shopping for cd's. Will this main road and hostal/chica area be obvious to me or do I wander around and see where my luck takes me ?

3. Any address for "gamarra" brothel in La Victoria ?

4. Would you say a taxi from miraflores to points of intrest such as barranco,el centro,san miguel and la victoria all cost about the same ?

5. Has anyone taken the bus from outside maria luisa to el centro. If so what bus?

6. When you take a SW from lince do you do the deed in a hotel close by or take her back to miraflores? Are they similar looking/acting to those on pizza alley?

I really appreciate it. I know this girl I met last time I was there so that will be a plus for me . I need to figure out how to have my own time as well. My past experiences like that have left me drained and with alot less money.
I will be in lima for a good two weeks .

Pharmacy at Metro supermarket in Miraflores said "you need a prescription."

The folks at a smaller, independent pharmacy (not far from the Maria Luisa) said "no problema" - twenty 10mg tabs for 8 soles.

As Yakov Smirnov once said, "What a country!"


A monger buddy of mine has a fear of flying. He finds that a 10mg tablet of diazepan (generic form of valium) helps reduce his flight-related anixety considerably.
Question: does he need a prescription to get diazepan in Lima?
------------
And no, this is question is NOT related to recreational use. And my friend has no intention of returning to the States with the meds in his posession (except the one entering his tummy in the cab en route to the airport).

Checked into the ML last night, asked about safe. Clerk goes into closet, comes out with heavy, bulky electronic safe (too big for anyone to take from hotel w/o being noticed).

I programmed it with my OWN combination (she looked away) - and I took it to the room. No charge. No probem.

When you walk out the back entrance (go to your left). When you cross the intersection there will be girls in the doorway on your left and also futher up the street. There are better girls elsewhere nearby but this is the easiest to explain.

LB- Thanks that sounds easy enough.

Mac Masher- If I remember correctly there is a back exit/staircase at the end of each hall on each floor ? Meaning you wouldn't need to go out the front. Is this right ? It sounds a little weird to me to have a safe that isn't bolted down but I guess I will need to see it before making judgment.

Or better yet as it is a ST hotel, just gently kick the door and take it out in "the guy's" carry-on bag and save walking down the steps.

Not sure if the model in the link above is the same is the size I have, but mine is same manufacturer. Insert laptop, passport, cash - cinch it close - and wrap cable around something permanently fiixed (toilet, sink, closet rod).

Found mine for around $30 in ebay... and LOVE it (especially since laptops rarely fit in hotel safes). And when I can't get a safe, this does the trick.

I know exactly what you are talking about( I had one) but just hope that knowone has a pair of wire cutters because they *CAN cut the wire. It does aid against petty theft by maids etc. but not professional crooks.

By the way are those male porters still there at the maria luisa ? I remember last time I was there I got a weird vibe from those guys.....one of them was acting way too cool (hip) to be in the service industry. I like a little formailty when I check into a hotel. Sure enough that was when jaimito got his cash stolen. I always trust my instincts and something tells me that hotel isn't kosher but its in a great location at the right price with no chica in the rooms drama so I'm ready to deal with the rest.

I also noticed the TV went on by itself at 8am every morning and in the afternoon there was porn on the tv went I got to my room. I appreciate the latter but the 8am TV really annoyed me. It happened to me in mexico as well. Still going on?

Be careful dont tell us too much just secure your stuff.

Well, I definitely got ripped off at the Maria Luisa (and complained quite a bit about it, which is why there are now safes available downstairs), but I do find the ML fine, otherwise.

My money was hidden inside one of my bags, so you'd really have to search for it. Only one Chica had been in the room, and never out of my sight. Luckily, I had my money split up, but still a large amount of cash gone. ($600-$700)

I'd love to do a hidden camera in one of the rooms catching them ripping stuff off. They can be pretty lax about locking/closing the doors too. I came back in the middle of the day, and I think the room cleaner had working on my room. However, the door was wise open, and he wasn't anywhere around.

Not sure if the model in the link above is the same is the size I have, but mine is same manufacturer. Insert laptop, passport, cash - cinch it close - and wrap cable around something permanently fiixed (toilet, sink, closet rod).The first time I went to Peru, I asked the front desk clerk if they had a safety box. The clerk said they did. I asked if I could put my passport, plane ticket, extra cash, etc. In it. She handed me a brown envelope and inventoried what I was putting in the envelope including how much money. That made me uncomfortable. She then taped up the envelope and asked me to initial the tape so that I could tell if anyone tampered with it. She then took the envelope with all my valuables into a backroom. I never saw her put the envelope into a safe. I'd never experienced anything like that before so I wasn't very comfortable. I had no receipt or eyewitness if anything was stolen.

Luckily, I had my Pac-Safe. The next day, I took the envelope back out and put everything in the Pac-Safe. I did have trouble finding a "fixed" object in my room to attach it. I finally decided to use the bedframe. However, that's not always recommended. Last year, I was in Ecuador in a room with two beds. After I came back from dinner, the hotel owner had removed one of the beds. It's a good thing I hadn't attached the Pac-Safe to that bed.

I also use a Defcon1 lock to secure my luggage. It has a loud alarm if anyone moves the luggage.

well, anything can happens at Maria Luisa Hotel , I was so pisst off by them

my last stay. thay dont listening to you or respect you at all. There were

misssing coins in my drawer many times. they give my key to a girl when

I was out( get robbed a little) The hotel staff rob me one night ,they know

I was out, not coming back. the girls in reception make friends with

my "girlfrind" and give her all information about whom was visiting me with

name and how long they stay.

Then they also make me pay for one night twice, acusing me to have

forgotten to pay before. also very often the remove your sheets and other

stuff , as soon you leave the hotel ,to not replace it before late in the

evening , very anouing when oyu bring in a girl and the bed is not ready.

Well beside of that its ok, but now I just rent an apartment, when I stay my

my 3 months in Lima every year.

Take care folks!!!!

I'm hoping to get advice about taking a 2 to 3 day trip to Ica, Pisco & the Islas Ballenas.

I'm sure that the cheapest option would be to take public transportation there.

Would anyone want to offer advice on either renting a car or renting a taxi/driver in terms of costs, safety precautions, etc?

Thanks a lot.

Good afternoon gents,

On Thursday of this week I will be headed to Lima for the first time. Only staying for 4 1/2 days, but it's better than no days. I have a few generic questions. I know you can use both dollars and soles for purchases, and when dealing with the ladies. Is there a preference, or is it really a non issue?

Secondly, How do people dress for a night out? I'm talking TR and Emmanuell's. I like to try and fit in as best I can. For these venues is a nice pair of Hilfiger jeans and a nice button down shirt appropriate, or should one step it up a notch to khacki's and a nice button down shirt....or some combination of both? Lastly, what is the current exit fee when leaving the country. Thanks for your input.

I did something similar on my first trip. I took one of the "executive" type long distance buses( I forgot the company) south from lima and stopped at almost every town until I reached arequiepa. I dont think you can do it in three days by bus or car unless you want to stress out.
I was gone for over a week. I did chincha,pisco,paracas (las islas de bellenas) and arequiepa. Remember that sights extend from these towns so just because you get there doesn't mean it's all right there. You need to take a local tour or bus from that town.
My advice for a three day trip would be to pick someplace that has a few trips to do from that town. Pisco might be that place. If I remember correctly you can do las islas and the lines (ica) from there. Please verify that info.

... but we might want to move the "Maria Luisa & Safetly/Security" exchanges to the "Lima - Hotel Recommendations" thread. Newbies might find such comments more helpul if placed there. I'll post my personal experiences and observations on the subject there shortly.
.Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all these reports on the maria Luisa, as Ill be soon heading off for Lima, I must say that I am reconsidering my lodging accomodations. Its always better to be safe than sorry, and as far as i can see the only reason to stay there is the "no chica fee policy". Id rather take saftey of my valuables over pusssy anyday. Especially when it involves your passport!

SrLengua

Sr Lengua,

I have paid it enough times to know that the departure tax is USD 30.25 payable in cash at the airport. I always remember to pack a quarter before leaving the US! You can also pay in soles but I do not remember the exact amount, though I am quite certain that it is below 100 soles.

Transportation to the airport from Miraflores is anywhere between USD 10 and USD 20.

Also, there is a wonderful back massage place in the airport as you go up the staircase to your right. I usually go for ten or twenty minutes because prices are reasonable and service is good. The Continental flights to the US are always scheduled to leave around midnight (though they are delayed more often than not) and I find that a relaxing back massage helps me sleep on the plane.

US Dollars are accepted almost everywhere and I use USD almost exclusively when dealing with the chicas (though I have also been known to throw a few Euros their way). I usually change some money to soles because it pisses me off to pay USD 5 for a 5-10 soles cab ride. The same thing applies to meals, 3 soles shoe shines in Parque Kennedy, toothpaste and other miscellaneous expenses. The alternative of carrying alot of single dollar notes down to Lima does not appeal to me. It is not a question of being cheap; it is just a question of not throwing money away, however small the amount.

Speaking of 3 soles shoe shines, I really enjoy discovering little arbitrage opportunities. The same shoe shine costs $4 ($3 + $1 tip) at Newark and most other US airports! I once had a 3 soles shoe shine in San Borja that lasted 25-30 minutes. It makes you wonder how much does that guy makes in a day and how does he survive on it.

ArtisttypYou do line up the tour tour to Islas Ballenas from Ica according to my book.

Does anyone have recommendations/reservations in terms of hiring a driver/taxi? Or renting a car?

I think Ica is only 3-4 hours away and Pisco another hour or so, so I think this would be very feasable as a 3 day trip.

Here is something a little different for my 100th post.

All,

Speaking of arbitrage opportunities, business travellers interested in tailored (custom made) shirts should look into Len Rodridge, a bespoke shirtmaker located in San Borja.

Do not be fooled by the name, this is a small family-run Peruvian tailoring business. I purchased three shirts from the San Borja shop on one of my trips to Lima about a year ago and remain a satisfied customer. As you might expect, they have a wonderful array of materials available and you choose color, type of collar and whether you want buttons on the cuffs.

I was measured in the morning and the shirts were delivered to my hotel that same evening. Cost per shirt: $45. Similar quality off-the-shelf shirts cost $80 at Nordstroms in the US. I have not priced tailor made shirts in the US but I imagine we are talking upwards of $100 per shirt for similar quality and workmanship.

I do not have the exact address but the way to find the shop is to ask the driver to take you to the following address:

Banos Turkos
Calle Ucello 260-104
San Borga (Centro Comercial)
Al costado de Wong (Supermercado)

The shirtmaker is directly opposite the Banos Turcos.

The Banos Turcos, by the way, is a "no-extras" operation. I went for the blind male masseurs who provide an excellent massage.

I already have a woman lawyer friend in peru, so that tilts me towards towards Lima. But, I read online that Argentina has a better female/male ratio than Peru.

Also, I have an internet business I need to run. I think that Argentina has better connectivity, more choices for cell phones, etc, than Peru.

What's better, Lima or Buenos Aires?

Finally, I am 33 years old. I have about 30K in the bank, and a website generating about 2,500-3,000 a month. Is that enough to live on?

Midwest33,

I will let the in-country experts guide you on this but in my humble opinion- and provided that you are judicious- $2,500-$3,000 per month is more than enough to live on in Lima. Clearly, you will not be blowing $100 per night on babes and partying but the good news is that you will not need to. Accomodation is much cheaper than the US, food is also cheaper and tastes much better. Taxis are inexpensive; 3-5 soles to get around Miraflores and 10-15 soles to get you everywhere you are likely to want to go in Lima. Mind you, taxis are ridiculously inexpensive in Bs. As. also.

I do not know your personal lifestyle but of on that budget you will have to be judicious regarding discretionary spending on booze, partying and chicas, wherever you decide to settle. That said, there are so many freebie opportunites in Lima that once you are settled, you will be getting free pussy most of the time (Provided, of course, that you have some game).

Again, just MHO and YMMV.

The Cat

PS One more thought. There is more diversity in Bs. As. because of the large amount of immigration from European countries in years past. Something like 40% of Argentinians have Italian blood in them. As a result, Bs. As. chicas definitely have a more European flavor to them compared to the more native look of Peruvians. I found this to be a two edged sword. There are some really breathtaking beauties in Bs. As. that you just will not see, or will see far less frequently, in Peru. On the other hand, the Argentinian women I met acted more like European women and were less approachable. You will not have that problem with most chicas in Lima.

P4P is freely available at reasonable prices in both cities.

I may be full of shit but those are my impressions garnered from multiple business trips to both Lima and Buenos Aires.

There is a good guide to foreign living costs published on the US Dept of State web site http://www.state.gov/m/a/als/prdm/

This matrix must be looked upon as for virginal, pasty white gringos travelling to strange foreign places but I have found the "ratios" between countries to be hellishly accurate. For instance it suggests that per diem living (meals and incidentals) is 30% cheaper in BA than Lima. If one sticks to the gringo encounters this is probably true - if you don't then Peru "menu's" score big time. (It also has Lima as 20% cheaper than Mexico City.)

If you prefer whites - then BA is for you. If you pefer exotics (dwarfs, toothless wonders, charapita's, chinita's and the occassional chola) then Peru is for you.

Apartment costs in both places are about the same. The Argentinian economy is due for its 10 yearly collapse (the dollar will reign supreme) but Peru's economy is marching on. And, sadly, I predict orifice encounters will become more expensive - whether it is a meal or an immediate main course.

Guys I have taken and learned so much from this forum its time that I give back. During my preparation for my 3-6 month stay in various parts of Peru a cell phone as we all know is essential, but I needed to know the inside info, Can I use my own phone and just add a SIM card? What frequencies do they operate on in Northamerica and South Amerca/ Well here is all the info needed complete with websites referenced etc. Hope this info helps all of us.

Basics
Guidelines for Using a Cellphone Abroad

As a T-Mobile subscriber, Ken Grunski, a businessman in San Diego, knew that his cellphone would work during a trip to Tanzania. What he did not expect was the bill: $800 for 10 days’ use.

“I didn’t think I was going to use my phone that much,” Mr. Grunski said. “But two to three 10-minute calls a day, and it adds up.”

What a shame that Mr. Grunski did not heed his own company’s advice. If he had, he would have saved himself a bundle.

Mr. Grunski owns Telestial, a company that sells SIM cards, small chips that replace those in cellphones sold by T-Mobile and Cingular and lower the costs of calls when overseas.

While his American phone worked abroad without one, Mr. Grunski was paying sky-high rates because he was roaming in a foreign country. T-Mobile charged him $5 a minute to roam in Tanzania.

If Mr. Grunski had used one of the SIM cards he sells, he would have paid $1.15 a minute to call the United States and his calls — averaging 16 minutes a day — would have cost him $184, rather than $800.

While Americans have embraced the convenience of using cellphones, trying to dial from overseas often brings surprises. Even if the phone works, voice mail may not. Depending on the handset, coverage can be spotty. Make the wrong choices, and you may find a huge bill.

The right tactics to avoid those headaches depend on which carrier you use, the length of your trip and your destination.

GSM vs. CDMA

A majority of the world’s cellphone subscribers — 82 percent — use the GSM technology standard, according to the GSM Association. In the United States, the major carriers use two systems. Cingular (now AT&T) and T-Mobile use GSM, while Sprint and Verizon use CDMA, an incompatible technology.

CDMA technology is found in North America, as well as some Asian countries, but it is basically nonexistent in Europe. As a result, Sprint and Verizon customers can use their phones in just 26 countries. (AT&T and T-Mobile customers can potentially use theirs in over a hundred.)

When traveling in non-CDMA countries, Sprint and Verizon customers can rent or purchase GSM phones from those providers. Sprint rents a Motorola Razr for $58 for the first week, and $70 for two weeks, plus $1.29 to $4.99 a minute of airtime. Verizon charges $3.99 a day to rent, plus $1.49 to $4.99 a minute. Verizon also sells three combo CDMA-GSM models, priced from $150 to $600 with a two-year contract.

Cingular and T-Mobile customers have more options — if their existing phones can pick up multiple frequencies. To complicate matters, the American GSM standard operates on 850 and 1,900 megahertz, while the rest of the GSM world uses 900 and 1,800 megahertz.

To use an American GSM cellphone in a foreign country, the handset you own must be tri-band or quad-band and able to operate on one or both of the frequencies used outside the United States. The Cingular and T-Mobile Web sites, as well as Telestial’s and others, list the predominant frequencies used in each country, and show if your phone can operate on one or both overseas bands.

To protect against fraud, American cellphones are typically blocked from making calls when used abroad. Before traveling, call your provider and ask to have that restriction removed.

A Temporary SIM Card

GSM phones use SIM cards (subscriber identity modules), tiny electronic chips that hold a cellphone’s “brains,” including the subscriber’s contact numbers and phone number. (CDMA phones store such information directly in the hardware.)

GSM customers can avoid sky-high roaming charges by replacing their American SIM cards with ones from other countries. For example, travelers to Britain can pick up a SIM card from the British carrier Vodafone; once inserted, it gives the phone a temporary British phone number. Calls within Britain and to the United States would be much cheaper.

For example, T-Mobile charges its customers 99 cents a minute for using their phones in Britain, whether calling a pub in London or your home in New Jersey.

Insert a prepaid British SIM card from a company like Telestial instead, and local calls drop to 26 cents a minute, while calls back to the United States cost 9 to 14 cents a minute.

Another benefit when using overseas SIM cards is that incoming calls are typically free in most countries.

Overseas SIM cards can be purchased before you travel from companies like Cellular Abroad (www.cellularabroad.com) and Telestial (www.telestial.com) or at local shops in foreign countries.

Unlocking the Phone

Even if you have a GSM phone that operates on both overseas frequencies, domestic cellphone providers do not want you to use your phone with another company’s SIM card, because they do not make any money when you do. To prevent your doing so, cellphones bought through Cingular and T-Mobile are electronically locked — they accept only their own company’s SIM cards.

Before you throw your phone off the Eiffel Tower in frustration, know that there are several ways to unlock your phone and avoid those high overseas roaming rates.

Cingular and T-Mobile will unlock their customers’ phones under certain conditions. Cingular will provide unlock codes to customers whose contracts have expired, who have canceled their service and paid an early termination fee, or who have paid a full rather than subsidized price for their phones, according to Rich Blasi, a Cingular Wireless spokesman.

T-Mobile has more lenient policies. It will provide the unlock code to any customer after 90 days of service, but no more than one unlock code will be provided every 90 days, said Graham Crow, a T-Mobile spokesman.

If you do not meet these requirements, you can still get your phone unlocked from a private company. For a few dollars, the Travel Insider (www.thetravelinsider.com) and UnlockTelecom (www.unlocktelecom.co.uk) will provide your phone’s specific unlocking code.

Other GSM Phones

Cellphone customers with dual-band GSM phones that cannot be used overseas can always purchase unlocked quad-band phones from third-party providers. These phones can be used solely when traveling outside the United States. Since they are unlocked, they can also be used instead of your current phone on your American network.

Because the phone is not subsidized by a carrier, the price is higher. For example, an unlocked quad-band Motorola Razr V3 can be bought for $140 from Cellular Blowout (www.cellular-blowout.com). Cellular Abroad and Telestial also sell unlocked phones.

A Few More Tips

When entering numbers in your phone, always add the plus (+) sign and the country code; that way, the number can be dialed automatically no matter from what country you are calling.

Store your GSM phone’s numbers in the phone itself, rather than the SIM card. Then the numbers will still be available to you when you use an overseas SIM card. To transfer them to a new phone easily, store them on a device like Backup-Pal (www.backup-pal.com), an external U.S.B. memory unit.

While you will not pay any charges for incoming calls when you use a foreign SIM card, tell your American callers to get an overseas calling plan from their phone company before you ask them to ring you. If they do not, they could be paying the same sky-high rates that you just avoided.

And if you take your American phone overseas, make sure that its battery charger is dual voltage; without one, all the effort to get your phone to work in other countries may go up in smoke the first time you plug it in.

Thanks for the correction Polvo.

If you look at this GSM website http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_pe.shtml

It says that Claro 1900 mhz and Movistar is 850 mhz.

I have an old phone fromm cinngular which is a dual band 1900 & 850 mhz phone so I assume that this dual band phone will also work.

I believe, and correct me if Im wrong ,the only time you in fact need a quad or tri-band phone is when it doesny support these frequencies.

Correct?

..... If you don't get an unlock code, not to worry, just go down to Polvos Auzules (Lima commercial center) and find a booth that will do the unlock for you. Usually costs about 25 soles which is about 8 USD.....
FlyingAce

FlyingAce:

Just to warn the unwary - an unlock code from Polvo Azules or Malvinas is fine. If they start attaching cables, back off! They can wreck the phones' firmware OS - and they won't care a crap! And don't let your phone out of your sight!

Once the phone is unlocked, get to the country and buy a chip with some minutes and just use the pre-paid cards to top-up. If you have quad band phone you can go with either provider in Peru. If I remember correctly a local chip is about $15.

If you need a number for "serious" normal calls, get two chips. Because if you get a bricheria thinking she has found her own walking, talking, ejaculating ATM she will keep phoning the shit out of you!!! Then losing her is as easy as tossing the chip and changing hotels!

Polvo,
I have always had multiple chips(throwaway's) which I learned from the second season of the "Wire". I usually pay S/.30 for a Claro chip.

I've done some reserach online but I'm still cloudy about one thing.

I have a motorola razar phone (original model) and one website says I can use the ImeI code without a usb cable then another website says I have to send the phone in because *motorola phones need to be connected to special hardware and software.
I assume cingular would only give me a code which I would have to input once I switch sims but why would a website tell me they need to hook my motorola phone up to hardware/software ?


* Is this similar to the warning about polvo azules ?

Cingular will give you a code. They will give you the code in the USA and once you apply it your phone should be unlocked for ever! If you need to go to a third party service PM me, and I will see if I can help you. (My original phone was a Moto and I got the code from Cingular.)

And, yes, I would not send my phone in for someone to connect to a "infinity box".

LB has mentioned that a chip is less than $10...but why he was in a Baltimore 'hood is another story.

... However in Peru, you can buy an OK new Claro (ex TIM) phone with line for around $30 which uses recharge time cards available everywhere.I have Cingular at home but didn't want too many complications, and so for my maiden voyage here, I bought a little Claro cell phone. If you're in Miraflores, go to the little shop on Shell a few doors down from the supermarket, 20 meters or so west of Larco. Great guy there, he'll set you up, he even looks like a Latino version of a geek.

Remember *777/Send to show how much time left you have on your cell. Cards are available in most little tiendas, there's a sidewalk vendor on Benavides just south of Calle de la Pizzas.

Also note that not all phone numbers are not the same, apparently, some cost more than others - I was continually surprised how many times I was shut down in my conversations for running out of minutes. Maybe I'm more of a blabbermouth than I think...

What Gonzo said.

See the thin dude with the glasses at Casite de Cellular, 280 Shell. He can unlock your phone. and put in a chip for a local carrier. I put in a chip for Claro and buy prepaid cards for service when I need them. The calls to none Claro subscribers seem to cost much more than calls to other Claro subscribers or landlines. I'm still trying to figure it out and learned to keep a prepaid card for when the phone runs out, as it seems to do when your talking to a hot chica.

*777 will tell you verbally , in Spanish, the amount of soles left. If you don't understand Spanish any better than me *777# will display the info on the phone. s/15 only gets me about 5 minutes with a non (9-1,2,3,7, +?) Claro call and the chicas like to call back and hangup, expecting you to call them on your nickel, er, sole.

The cell phone topic has been very useful. Now to another important tool for a few of us old mongers, Vitamin V.

What is the availability of Viagra in Peru? Is a doctor prescription needed?

In Thailand there is a generic version of Viagra available over the counter for 1/10 the cost of Pfizer's magic blue pill. Do they sell the generic variety of Vitamin V in Lima's pharmacies?

I thought it might be useful to know how to tell if you have a phony bill.

Number one you should try to get bills of 20 soles or less to lessen your losses if you do recieve a fake bill. I was passed a fake 50 soles by the bank but I didnt realize it till a few days later. A shop owner I became friendly with told me the same bank "scotia" did it to him a well and he is a local.
After having it for awhile the best way I figured out was to smell it. The fake bill smell like regular paper and the real bills like money. If you are accustomed to the money you can tell by touch.

The best thing is to avoid big bills and use your nose.

Trocadero may be on Argentina av 18 block if you come from Callao, but it is
over 70 blocks away from downtown Lima. I visited Trocadero twice recently.
The first time, I saw a girl with a nice butt. I had to go back the following day for this girl. Well, after about two minutes she said, are you done? shit!
I got out and went to another girl for whom men were in line. This was in the center hall, No 3. Very good attention! There were three halls with over 100
rooms. Reading Perutops.com I found out where to take vans to this place.
$ 1 round trip. This place is OK for about $10. There are more choices at
Cucardas! Also, it is more expensive.

.....I have an old phone fromm cinngular which is a dual band 1900 & 850 mhz phone so I assume that this dual band phone will also work.......the only time you in fact need a quad or tri-band phone is when it doesny support these frequencies.

Correct?

Vaughnyb1: Sorry - I missed this one, I wasn't ignoring you. Yes, you are correct. That phone will work in the US and Peru. But for a lot of other places in South America it will not!! (The exception proves the rule.) I think I said if you want the US and the RoW (rest of the world) quad band is best but tri band may do!!

Las Cucardas on ave Ricardo Treneman 875. From Miraflores, I took a bus headed towards TACNA (that will be on the side of the bus along with various other general areas/avenues). I got off after about 30 minutes on ave EMANCIPACION. Cross the street, take a left. Cross the street and go 2 or 3 blocks, you are still on ave EMANCIPACION. You will see some combis (guaguas) or vans just get in one, they are all headed in the direction you want, you are on the right hand side of the road. Tell the worker in the van, either "Las Cucardas" or show him a piece of paper with that written on it and tell him 'Bajo aqui, por favor" (means get off here). When you see a brown warehouse on the right hand side with Amazon Wood Products Logo, tell him you want to exit. You will ride for probably 8 or 10 blocks. Walk to the end of the Amazon warehouse and turn left. The street right in front of you is Ricardo Treneman. Cross the street, and go down about a block. Las Cucardas is on the left hand side of the road. I did this at 5:00 pm. No security issues, be aware as always.

Paid my 20 soles entry fee, received a drink ticket, a condom, a ticket for a the lady, and a ticket for a discount in something when I return. I really didn't catch all of it. Got frisked, asked about a camera and let me in. Security told me 40 soles for the girls, don't pay more. Very amicable security. There is about 40 doors in two hallways. Most were closeds. There was a small bar area where I retrieved a inka cola and started to wander the two hallways. For the next 30 minutes, I got a view of probably 20 ladies, some nice looking lasses in the 7 range. Not alot of room and I didn't see anything to pull the trigger on so I just gave my ticket to a cutie on the way out.

Polvos Azules is a large area that sells everything from electronics to clothes to tourist knicknacks. I like it. Anyways, from where your taxi drops you off, it cost me anywhere from 6-8 soles from miraflores, go straight through to the other side, as you exit from the market, that is ave GRAU. Turn left, go to the corner and cross the street, stay on the left hand side. There you will find probably 20 or so street girls of various styles. All wanted 20 soles and told me room was included. One told me she did not do oral and the all told me the wanted payment up front. They would not take half or negotiate at all. My first experience with one of these girls was a con and a rip, so I basically refused to partake. So, caveat emptor here, buyer beware, there were some cuties, but not worth just throwing the money out the window. Security was good, it was across the street, be aware, but it wasn't off the chain. This was around 8:00 PM.

While I was in Peru last year I heard about maca, a local herb or root for male potency.

Last week I was in the pharmacy in St Maarten, a caribbean island near where I live, and I noticed "Jalea Real - MACA Polen y Miel". Product 100% natural. La Autentica. Lima Peru!!

So I bought a box of 15 little bottles of honey with maca mixed in. After 3 bottles I feel like a tiger (kidding actually, haven't noticed any effect, positive or negative, so far).

It is a small world.

Do not know how much Maca you are getting in those bottles. I take a heaping tablespoon every day and some guys who use tablets take 1000mg at each meal. Generally it is reported that the effects ar felt about 3 weeks into the regimen. It tastes horrible at first but when mixed with OJ and a Bannana becomes quite addicting.

05-06-07, 02:14
Artisttyp, it looks like I am following you around. I am headed to DR in August.

The SW and I negotiated and agreed on s/20 for bj sin condom, pago despues. We walked around the corner away from the market and made a left at the small bar at the corner. We went about a 1/2 a block down and turned into the building. It was sort of a alley with some make shift rooms. We went into the room and she starts telling me she needs S/6 of the money first to pay for the room. I tell her, no, I'm leaving and she tells me take my pants down, take them off and she will begin. Music started playing LOUD right next to the makeshift room. I then tell her I will pay for the room and will pay her S/15. She kept ducking taking care of business. Mind you I am in a plywood room, in a alley, with no lock, just a plywood door with a piece of wire on a nail with music playing LOUD and a SW ducking her deal.

I open the door and leave and there in the ally is two women and one is real concerned, asking whats wrong? what happened? I tell her she needs to not rent rooms to thieves as she was trying to steal my money and not provide services. The other girl then says, I will give you what you want for S/10, no problem. The orginal girl is just standing there bewildered that I didn't do everything she wanted. So, I go with the 2nd girl and let her blow me for ten minutes while I watch the door and every flag I have is raised. She then lays back on the bed and tries to get me to get my pants off again. I toss a S/10 note to her, tuck my shirt in and leave.

After talking to a couple of locals there in Lima, I believe the the entire scene was a set up to get my pants off in the make shift room where 'crawlers' come in while your doing the deed and go through your pockets. I kept my pants on and kept my wits and didn't let her dictate the rules.

Lima has alot to offer. I had many GFE experiences with ladies I met from the internet. The only lady I got a date from the street was a colombiana. Miraflores to me was like any big city USA, I would smile and try to get smiles and all I got was the eyes down, head averted. The reason I travel to South/Central America is because most of the people smile back at you when you smile at them. I didn't find this in all of Lima. In Callao and the areas away from the tourists, specifically the mercado Callao, people where alot more friendly. Jockey Plaza, Minke, all resemble any mall USA. Lima has a population of 9 1/2 million people. There is something for every taste. The only counterfeit money I ended up with was a S/1 coin. Falso is what the combi driver said as he handed it back to me.

Please forgive me for asking this lame question which I know has been covered before but my searches are not coming up with anything.
Ive done a little reporting for this thread so I think Im allowed to ask a question.

Ive never worked a dating site before arriving to a city but Id like to with lima. The next time I go it will be for a month which is really what I needed last time.

I know of cybercupido and amigos.com Is this all I need and do I need to sign up for both or would one do it ? Sometimes you see the same people on every site.
Ive read reports from other members that had mixed experiences but I think its worth a shot.

Thank you for your input.

Usually what you do is register for a site, work hard to get two or three contacts. Then one of the two or three girls will meet you at the airport or in town and you won't find her half as pretty as you did on the pic but she considers she has rights on you, and your problem will immediately be one of getting rid of her, maybe having to switch hotels.

Whereas in just a few days of going out and reading the ads in the local rag, your diary or cell-phone will fill with more interesting contacts than you can handle in your allotted time.

Not really worth it, or only as a form of whetting your appetite before arriving in Peru. One piece of advice: don't tell internet contacts where you'll be staying!

if you get speedy dsl then it will take about 10 days. if you use cable magico (cable - $35 per month) then about 5 days.

if you are bringing router et al remember lima is 240v and if your transforment is only 120v you will fry!! lima radio shacks have antediluvian converters available.

if you are renting you need to persuade your landlord to get the service for you! remember (or warning) you are about to tangle with latin american beaurocracy. take a patience pill!!

better yet, sniff for a nearby connection and clob onto that!

(not very illuminating but not sure if you are long term / short term rental or ex-pat to be. more info. = better answer!!)

After 2 days in Ayacucho my amiga's family told her to get me out of town during the week as trouble was coming. There were road closures, rallies and a large tourist hotel had the windows blown out. The locals really hate Bush and the USA intervention in the coca business.

We spent 5 days traveling dirt roads South of Ayacucho. Micro bus to Vilacshuaman for 2 days, back to Vischongo for a day and then hired a taxi to drive across the pampas to Congallo before returning to Ayacucho last Thursday afternoon and things were back to normal plus the addition of a large police presence.

I finally had a few hours alone Saturday afternoon to check out the local chicas so I headed to the main square. There were some real gems sprinkled around but with limited time I grabbed a taxi and headed to El Salonazo but it would not open until 8, went to Media Luna and it was the same thing. As a last resort I asked the taxi dude if he knew a place with chicas for company and of course he did. He took me to a place on the other side of town, a knock on a metal door in a block wall and we were admitted by a real cutie but the same story, come back later that night. The taxi dude did not know of any other places and I was out of time anyway. It looks like the p4p action is very limited in Ayacucho but it might be interesting if you had the time to check it out.

We took the morning bus and arrived back in Lima this afternoon.

the age of consent in peru is 14, according to article 173 of the peruvian penal code (in spanish). this article says that the sexual acts as well as "other similar" are punished differently depending on the age of the victim – life sentence when the victim is under 7, from 25 to 30 years of prison when the victim is between 7 and 10, and from 20 to 25 years of prison when the victim is between 10 and 14. when the offender is in position of "particular authority" or trust over the victim, including parental bonds, the minimum term is 30 years of prison for victims between 7 and 14.

there is also a crime called seduction (seducción) in the article 175, applied for sexual acts (or other similar) obtained by the means of deceit, with teenagers between 14 and 18. the maximum term is 3 years of prison, which may be replaced – at the discretion of the judge – with community service from 30 to 78 days.

a further crime called "indecent assault to the minor" (atentado al pudor del menor) is foreseen in article 176-a, and applies only for situations in which the offender performs an act "contrary to decency" in a person under 14 without having the intention of practicing a sexual act or other similar. this crime is punished with 4 to 6 years of prison.

finally, article 178 establishes a different provision – if any of these offenses result in pregnancy, the offender is additionally condemned to provide food for the victim’s baby. therapeutical treatment is also foreseen in article 178-a – after medical examination – for all sexual offenders in order to facilitate his social readaptation. and article 184 provides equal punishment for any accomplices of any of these crimes who are in position of authority, charge or trust over the minor, including their parents, brother or sister.

interesting article, hopefully garcia will be successful in getting the courts to reverse it back to 18. as most here are subject to laws in there own country,it does not apply to us. the original rub was that you could not consumate your marriage if your wife was under 18.

Terry Lee Alexander. Was sitting on his bunk alone in his cell masturbating when a female deputy, monitoring his cell from a nearby control room, took offense.

Today he's scheduled to go to trial to fight a misdemeanor indecent exposure charge and the maximum one-year jail sentence that would go with a conviction. The incident occurred in November.

Although masturbation, a common jailhouse occurrence, violates most jail and prison rules, it doesn't often result in criminal charges. It is generally dealt with internally with a disciplinary write-up and temporary loss of phone or recreation privileges, Florida jail and prison officials said.

Deputy Coryus Veal. Has brought similar charges against seven other inmates in six months.

Doc Bill,

Do not change money at the airport or hotel. The airport charges commission and offers a lousy exchange rate besides. Changing money in Lima is easy. There are money changers on many of the street corners in Miraflores (Easily identified by their blue jackets decorated with dollar signs!). They offer a great exchange rate, do not charge commission and do not need require to see your identification. Just ask one or two of them what they are offering to make sure you are getting a decent rate. Compare that to what happens in Bogota where you are finger printed every time you change money.

A taxi from the airport into Lima will cost you USD 10-12 and they will accept US dollars. I never change any money at the airport. There have been stories of gringos getting hi-jacked, though it is by no means common. Stick with a licensed cab driver and you should be fine. If you want to be really sure, Lima Busy recommends a reliable driver by the name of Manuel. Manuel will charge you USD 20 for an airport pick-up and can be contacted on +51 1 9739 3562. Aside from being reliable, Manuel speaks good English and knows the Lima club scene. I have used Manuel several times and even partied with him!

I personally use cash for almost everything. The obvious exceptions are the hotel bill and meals at high-end restaurants such as La Mar or Rosa Nautica. You will definitely need some cash as chicas do not, for the most part, take plastic. They do, however, all take US dollars!

Finally, be sure to take a quarter with you. The Lima airport departure tax is USD 30.25 and can be paid in US currency.

I hope this helps

Artisttyp,

Well for a start, street money changers are licensed, offer a good exchange rate, do not require you to show ID and do not charge commission. There is usually no waiting and the transaction is over in a minute or two. That sounds pretty convenient to me. I have used them countless of times and have never, to my knowledge, been passed a fake bill.

Of course, you can always use your cash card at an ATM. The upscale casinos also offer a decent money exchange service. Still, if you come up with a more convenient, safer or better way to exchange hard currency, please share your findings so that we can all benefit.

many visitors to lima experience traveler's diarrhea and it is no fun. it is easy enough to go to any farmacia and get cipro or other antibiotics to help get rid of it, but taking steps to avoid it in the first place sounds like a better idea.

in preparation for my upcoming trip i have done some research, and here are some steps various travel organizations recommend to avoid problems:

avoid eggs. this includes breakfast, in sandwiches, and even the pisco sour drink, which is made with egg whites. (this sucks because a well-made pisco sour is like a dream in a glass.)

avoid tap water, including ice in drinks and when brushing teeth.

avoid raw fruit unless you've peeled it yourself.

avoid raw leafy vegetables.

avoid shellfish (including langostinos/shrimp).

wash hands often.


there are obviously going to be times and places where you can be confident of the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant and can ignore these recommendations. however, if there is any question it would be better to err on the safe side.

good luck, and have fun.

Doc Bill,

While you do not need USD in Lima, many items (including chicas) can be purchased with USD. I cannot speak for the rest of the country and I recall that you plan to do some travelling outside of Lima. You need to get some local advise as I have do not know what is the norm elsewhere.

If you change too much USD into soles the question becomes what to do with the surplus. Changing it back to USD is inefficient. Therefore, you need to budget yourself and change what you plan to spend. If you end up a little short, you can pay for things in USD, as already noted, or change/withdraw more money once you get back to Lima.

I know of no disadvantage to withdrawing money from an ATM but that does not solve the problem of carrying cash on the street. I expect the ATM exchange rate to be as good, if not better, than what is available from street changers. Do not hold me to that as I have never asked them to take the pepsi challenge. Unlike many destinations, exchanging money on the street in Lima is not a rip-off; that is the point I am actually trying to make.

Sometimes dollars are useful, so keep a selection of small bills just in case.

I'm pretty sure you get a better exchange rate by getting dollars at the ATM and then changing to soles with the guys on the street in the blue vests.

I usually go to the Banco Continental near the Metro supermarket. The ATM is inside and I withdraw my cash then step into the bank lobby to sort and secure it, leaving out only the cash I am about to exchange. Then I step outside and change the money. Make sure to count your change once or twice slowly to make sure everything is okay, then you're done. I always change money $100 at a time to avoid extra math, so if the exchange is 3.16 it is easy to count 316 soles.

Another good way is to keep some US cash and when you need to go to Metro pay with dollars (everyone else is.) They have the best exchange rate I saw in Lima and you'll find lots of hot chicks standing in line waiting too, so you will have a chance to say hello.

More than anything, don't sweat these things in Miraflores. There are a lot of serious security personnel around and they keep things pretty mellow. Just stay street smart and you will most likely never have a problem.

Artisttyp
09-03-07, 22:06
Also something to add is miraflores is very credit card friendly. You will need cash but for supermarkets, food, shopping etc. your good with a credit card(*visa).

Outside of miraflores is a different story besides the huge malls.

An intresting topic came up when I was discussing money with another monger. We discussed whether or not to negotiate with the chicas in dollars or soles. His comment was something like " soles register differently with them than dollars" meaning most girls will sit there trying to figure out what the dollar amount is in soles of course with varying exchange rates this could get complicated for a HOOKER. I've had some that couldn't figure it out and they still took the deal.

I'd like to hear from the expats on this one.

Doc Bill,

There are USD denominated ATM machines in Lima but you may have to look for them. I have seen this in other countries also (Dominican Republic comes to mind). Obviously, there are soles denominated ATM machines in Lima also. Contrary to Elberto's advise, there is no exchange rate benefit to be had if you withdraw USD from a Lima ATM and then use street money changers. The exchange rate benefit, assuming there is one, only comes into play when you use your US bank ATM card to withdraw soles from a Lima ATM machine. I have never done this and cannot comment on what kind of exchange rate you will get but my experience in other countries suggests that it will be a good one.

I bank at Banco de Credito and the ATMs offer both currencies. Simply select if you want dollars or soles to be dispensed during the transaction. I've also never been anywhere that didn't take dollars. Just keep in mind that a taxi driver isn't going to have change for a US$20.

The only concern I would have is for the fees your US bank is going to dick you with for using an int'l ATM. Before opening an account here I used to get stuck for $5 per withdrawl by BofA.

Interesting. If this is universally true it would pretty much cancel out any exchange rate benefit to be had from using US bank cards in Lima. It sounds to me that for a visitor, my approach of carrying USD and exchanging it, as required, into soles via the street money changers remains the best approach. Unless, of course, you get mugged or kidnapped on your way from the airport to the hotel. Most decent hotels offer safety desposit boxes either in the rooms or at the front desk.

The people in peru are very warm and will be willing to do almost anything for you as long as you treat them with respect.
Lima is a sketchy city and if your not street smart yes you can get yourself into trouble.
Maybe you wont feel comfortable going to the trocadero brothel yourself or walking the streets late at night. It depends on your past experiences. You should be aware of the bad areas and stay away from them. Right off the top of my head I'd say the barrios of san martin,callao,los olivos and el centro after dark are off limits for you since your asking about it.
By the way miraflores is very safe. You need to have your wits about you during late night club hours but you can walk everywhere no problem. If you feel uncomfortable take a cab but not the ones that hang out in front of nightclubs.

I agree with Artisttyp. I have been to Lima couple of months ago and had no problems - granted I am not white. Nonetheless, people almost everywhere in the world are generally nice to foreigners, American or not. If you go with the attitude that it is a dangerous place where everyone hates Americans, it will come across and you will have an unpleasant visit. South America is an amazing place and I would never hesitate to go there (or anywhere else). Have a positive attitude, be nice to people, respect other cultures, and use commonsense. You will be fine.

I have traveled all over Mexico, Centroamerica and Sudamerica and find ATMs the way to go. The exchange rate advantage, safety and convenience offsets the fees. Look for an account in the US that gives a minimum fee. Mine gives me 10 free foreign transactions a month on my debit card and the foreign ATMs charge an insignificant fee. Just be sure your card is valid for the Plus system. Scotia Bank, I believe, near the cinema at Parque Kennedy was where I went regularly. The guard and I became rather familiar and he offered to ride with me on the bus to get to Scarlet's as he lived near there.

My memory partly fails me on this one. I do remember that the casino at the Marriott has an ATM in it that dispenses USD. If I am not mistaken, the casino also exchange USD notes to soles but I cannot swear to this. Strangely enough, the tables are denominated in USD, not soles.

I cannot speak for the other casinos in Lima as I never visit them. The casino in the Sheraton hotel closed a few months back.

The Marriott hotel itself, as opposed to the casino, exchanges foreign bills to local currency but the exchange rate is not as good as the street money changers.

ID does not appear to be an issue in Peru. As I already mentioned in a previous post, the street money changers do not need to see any form of identification; just your green! I have never changed money at the casino so I cannot help you with their requirements but if they require ID, a passport or driving license should do it.

In general all casino´s are giving you 3.18 as opposed to the street rate 3.14
However with the exception of the one, they will only give you 5-10 dollars of your winnings back in Soles. If you are not a player then it is not worth coming to MF for the extra 6 cents. Some Gas stations are offering 3.20 and it is a good option for the guys who travel alot by taxi.

I have an observation fellas, pussy grows on trees in lima. See the buds.

Serioslly though I think I know why lima is such a paradise for the monger. 80% of the income from individuals is off the books thats why its a "poor"' country, income here cannnt be tracked. This includes street vendors and pros, semi pros, hustlers etc. So if everybodys trying to make money the best way they can which is off the books, if youve got money your a target. So pussy is coming your way its just a matter of time, or its a matter of how you play your cards.

I wanted to note that getting photo enlargments for digital prints is dirt cheap here. Im an avid photographer and I brought down a disc of 25 jpeg images. Ive been getting them blown up into huge poster size canvas images for $7.
There is an area of avenida wilson in the centro lima area which is dedicated to printing. You can get all kinds of work done for cheap. I got mine done on calle emancipacion right before hitting the pedestrian only street jr. de la union. It is located on the right side of the street if you are coming from wilson/tacna.

For all your brand name "controband" sneakers and boots(located at cuadra 8) at half off ask for mercado malvinas near plaza 2 de mayo y argentina. Keep it wrapped tight and out of sight if you do decide to go.

They rob shipping containers at the nearby dock and sell the goods for half off. Polo,tommy hillfiger,timberland,nike etc. Also be aware that there are a number of really good imitations in other shopping areas made with pima cotton. You may like the imitations even better.
You can get a pair of timberlands or or merrell for $60 US but bring small feet. A real tommy hilfiger shirt will cost around $17 but be aware the no name polos made from pima cotton sold at gamara or la quinta in miraflores are just as good.

I don´t know where else I can post this since it´s not at a specific city. Most of you no doubt won´t be surprised by this, but I´m amazed at the number and quality of girls that I´ve been meeting waiting for planes at airports. And not just meeting, but exchanging contact info too.

It just highlights for me the contrast between life here in South America and in the States. I´m so used to getting a ¨fuck off¨look at home that it takes awhile being here for me to learn that it´s ok to look at a woman and smile at her. And, unlike at home, here she actually smiles back and has a conversation with me. A real sorry commentary on the USA, if you ask me. This is life as it should be.

Doc Bill,

You happen to be experiencing it in airports but this phenomenon is not restricted to airports. These are the same girls you see in shops, restaurants, and on the streets of Lima. If you smile and approach them in those settings, you will get the same result. Yes, you might run into someone who is in a relationship, does not like the look of you or who is just too busy to deal with you. Therefore, rejection is part and parcel of the deal. However, for the most part you will be successful and end up dating chicas who would not give you the time of day in Sexprison USA.

Quite honestly, the beauty of Lima is that you end up dating / screwing girls that you can only dream about in the USA. That is what keeps me coming back.

And those are the facts.

Hi dear friend, if you know well Peru, can you tell me a good and cheap town for fucking?
Is it easy to get a girl friend experience with a regular girl?
thanks

PS: Is Lima more expensive than other smaller town in Peru? How much more?[/QUOTE]

I got that message from a member and I decided to answer in a public way, so everybody could see the answer.

A good and cheap town for fucking? Even Lima is a good and cheap town for fucking....You can get sex for less than 10 dollars in Lima, just read the reports about that. I've never been to that kind of places in Lima.
I usually have sex for 20 dollars and a massage for 10 with happy end....

Chiclayo, Trujillo, and surely the others important cities like Arequipa or Huancayo are good for cheap sex....
If you like to go to that kind of brothels with about 20 girls.
The room are not so clean and no shower.
Price around 10 dollars for a quick session

Yes, it's easy to have a girlfriend in Peru even if you are old. Just be patient, keep on dating till you find the pearl, that would like to go out with you.
Furthermore girls in Peru are generally speaking really good persons. There are not spoiled like girls in the Philipinnes for ex....
So you can really live a real love story.....

Just tell me if you want some more infos.

Hello Foxes Hunter,

If you will stay only 8-9 days in Peru, you have to book your girlfriend before departure. What I mean is, you have to find her on the net and to be in touch with her by using MSN or Messenger....
On the net there are many dating websites....

When you land in Lima, you can meet the first day right away....One important thing about girls, many of them are very busy there....So you have to find a girl that is not so busy....By busy I mean, that many of them work and study at the same time, so working is about 48 hours a week, 6 days a week and then studying at night time.....Just have 4-5 cyber contact before going there and I am sure everything would be fine.....

I lost my card, the one that they give you at the airport when you enter, and the hotel said they couldn´t give me the discount on the taxes without it. I don´t understand that but figured I´d need the card anyway, so I had to take a half hour cab ride to the immigration office downtown. I don´t have the address handy but if anyone needs it let me know.

When I got to this beurocratic labrynth an official looking guy started directing me around and telling me where to go and what to do. When I asked him who the hell he was he told me that he was just an independent there to help tourists for tips. Normally I would have told him to fuck off, but I´m real glad I didn´t. I ended up giving him 25 soles and saved at least three hours of my time. Since my time is worth more than my money at this point in my life, I was happy to spend it and be out of there in an hour with all the proper documents.

Go to any "wong" store and locate the ticketing booth. They have like a ticketmaster type booth in all their stores where you can by tickets to events. If they dont sell them there they will tell you where to get them.

anyone who knows me knows that i am careful to the point of paranoia about security of my internet communication and financial transactions.

i rarely use internet cabinas and would not dare to use them for financial transactions, and recommend others to avoid it as well.

i had to purchase a gift for a friend the other day and made the transaction through my encrypted connection over my personal speedy line using a credit card.

today i spent an hour on the phone with my bank in the us going through a list of transactions that someone had made with the card, totaling over $2000 in the last 24 hours. now the card is deactivated and i have to go through the hassle of filling out fraud report forms and getting a new card.

after my first trip to panama i had to cancel my card. after my first trip to peru i had to cancel my card. this time i haven't even made it home and i've had to cancel a card.

i strongly suggest others avoid the hassle and only use banking cards at atms at the actual bank location and whenever possible use cash.

it's strange, since i've never had a problem with a credit card outside the us being hijacked. i tend to stay in either really nice places (hilton, conrad, etc), or very basic places like the maria luisia, where cash is usually the only method of payment. i do use a card with no other activity on it, so it's easy to spot anything that goes on.

even when i go out, i rarely take a credit or debit card with me, unless i'm withdrawing cash. i use internet cafe's regularly, although i do try not to do much financial stuff on them. i guess it's the luck of the draw.

I use my credit card, in part because it's Capital One and they charge a very tiny fee and they give a good exchange rate. However, I will only use it where I can keep my eye on it at all times, with the exception of a few high-end restaurants.

In Rio once someone took my card for payment and was able to copy the magnetic strip with some device and make a duplicate card for himself. When I got back to the US there was about $1000 in charges by him, and I didn't even know about any problem since my card was with me, not lost or stolen. The bank ate the charges so it turned out ok, with a lesson learned.

For those of you who use Citibank: I opened a Citibank account specifically for the purpose of travelling, because they do not charge any fees for ATM withdrawals at Citibank ATMs, which are in most cities and easy to find. However I was just informed by them that starting in 2008 they will charge a 2% fee on all ATM foreign transactions, whether it be at Citibank or somewhere else. So I'm going to close that account.

If anyone knows of a specific bank or credit card where there are still no fees please let me know.

Digits,

Forget the official hotel pick up. That is a rip off. Here is what LB wrote a few months ago:

"I have a driver who does the airport run to the Penthouse. He charges $15.00 but I always pay him $20. He is also available as a guide for "newbies" for both day and night runs, speaks great English is good looking and knows where the girls are. He has been recommended in the past by others but I wanted others to know about him and have him added to the "Lima list." Here are his details: Manuel Taxi - Tel: 9739-3562."

I have used Manuel in the past and he is great. He is good looking, speaks good English and can guide you to where the action is on any given night. I have partied with this guy and he is fun to hang with. I recommend him wholeheartedly and forget the official Marriott taxis. I have never used one for anything and never will. Too expensive.

Digits,

As Polvo points out, safety is an issue. People do get mugged in taxis, so I would take precautions. The official airport taxis are a safe option and so is Manuel.

The other comment is that there are guys with badges at the airport, standing just outside the terminal, offering rides but they will also sometimes try and rip you off. They see you are a gringo, figure it is your first time in Lima and ask for $30 or even $40 for the ride to Miraflores. When that happens, I just walk away so that they understand that I am not going to entertain their bullshit. Prices come down shortly thereafter and I never pay more than $10-$15 for the ride.

The Oppenheimer Report
THE OPPENHEIMER REPORT
Peru may be the next rising star in Latin America
Posted on Thu, Nov. 01, 2007
Andres Oppenheimer
aoppenheimer@herald.com
When I asked senior World Bank economist Marcelo M. Giugale in a recent television interview which countries will be the economic stars of Latin America over the next 20 years, I was surprised by his answer. The first country he mentioned was Peru.
''Peru?'' I asked, somewhat incredulous. When economists talk about Latin America's bright spots, the first country they usually cite is Chile, which has been growing steadily for nearly two decades and has reduced poverty from about 40 percent in the early '90s to about 15 percent today, more than any other country in the region.
When pressed for other examples of Latin American countries likely to prosper in the near future, many cite Brazil. It's a giant country that is moving toward modernity at a snail's pace, but -- with more than 50 percent of South America's GDP -- is raising high expectations because of its sheer size, and its leftist government's generally sound economic policies.
But Peru, until now, has seldom come up as a country of the future. Most often, it has been associated with political scandals, natural disasters and political uncertainty.
Last year's elections had pitted former President Alan García, whose irresponsible populism had ruined the country during his 1985-90 term, and Ollanta Humala, a leftist former military officer who was publicly backed by Venezuela's narcissist-Leninist leader Hugo Chávez. When Garcia won by a thin margin, Peru's business community welcomed his victory as the lesser of two evils.
''Making predictions for the next 20 years is somewhat risky, but I would look at countries like Peru,'' Giugale said in the soon-to-be-aired Oppenheimer Presenta television interview. [Excerpts can be seen now at www.MiamiHerald.com/americas].
''The countries that will succeed are those that find the right balance between economic efficiency and social solidarity,'' he said. ``That's because countries that follow that middle-of-the-road path are the ones that will have the most political feasibility to get things done.''
Giugale, who cited Colombia as another country that may surprise everybody for the better in coming years, especially if it gets its free trade agreement with the United States approved by the U.S. Congress, said Peru is already showing pretty impressive growth figures. Consider:
• Peru's economy has been growing at about 6 percent a year for the past six years, a longer period of steady growth than most countries in the region. The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America is projecting a 7.3 percent growth for 2007, and a 6 percent increase for 2008.
• Poverty has fallen from 54 percent of the population in 2001 to about 44 percent, according to official figures.
• Inflation is at about 2.8 percent, one of the lowest rates in the region.
• Exports have risen at an average annual rate of 24 percent since 2001, including an 18 percent annual rise in nontraditional exports, mostly agricultural goods and textiles.
• Foreign direct investment has soared from $810 million in 2000 to $3.5 billion last year.
My opinion: Peru has a long way to go, especially when it comes to competing in the global economy. Just Wednesday, the World Economic Forum's new ranking of the world's most competitive economies ranked Peru 86th among 121 countries, down eight places from its spot last year.
But people who are optimistic about Peru in the long run may be right. García has had the wisdom to continue the sound economic policies of his predecessor, Alejandro Toledo, who despite his low popularity set the stage for long-term economic growth and a reduction of poverty.
This is no small achievement in Latin America, a region long characterized by boom and bust cycles where many presidents love to proclaim themselves founding fathers of supposedly new and ''revolutionary'' economic models -- like we are now seeing in Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador -- that help them gain absolute powers, but most often at the cost of destroying their countries' economies and increasing poverty in the long run.
Chile, and most recently Brazil, have opened a new chapter in Latin America's modern history: They are leftist-ruled countries that pursue responsible economic policies, attracting investments and creating the base for long-term growth. Peru is a welcome addition, and it may indeed become a star economy in the not-so-distant future.

Bring plenty of money, and you won't have a problem. Make some effort to learn 20-30 words in spanish, and you'll be fine. I think many bookstores have a simple reference card with numbers, and sample phrases. Then, all you need is the sexual requests to be okay.

Personally, I stay away from the chicas that know *too* much English.

If he is considering all oversee options, he should definitely take a look at Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok. This is one of the most modern hospitals in the world with some of the best doctors...and it is very affordable.

On a personal note, I have been in this hospital, consulted with the doctors, had tests run, etc. I would personally prefer to go here than any hospital I have been in the united states. Over 400,000 international patients go there every year. The place is just incredible and makes health care in the US look like what it is...sick.

Interesting. And here is me thinking that the US has the best health care system in the world.

The Cat

Well, unless your poor, or uninsured, or underinsured, or middle class, or don't have the time to play games, or whatever.

To wit:

"They told me I was gonna die," says Bonnewell, who didn't have insurance.

He estimates he would have had to pay over $100,000 out of his own pocket for the operation he needed, a complicated quintuple bypass. And he says he actually decided not to do it: "I guess I figured I'd rather die with a little bit of money in my pocket than live poor."

But Bonnewell says his health was deteriorating quickly, when he read about Bumrungrad Hospital: "I was in my doctor's office one day having some tests done, and there was a copy of Business Week magazine there. And there was an article in Business Week magazine about Bumrungrad Hospital. And I came home and went on the Internet and made an appointment, and away I went to Thailand."

He made that appointment after he learned that the bypass would cost him about $12,000. He chose his cardiologist, Dr. Chad Wanishawad, after reading on the hospital's Web site that he used to practice at the National Institutes of Health in Maryland.

"Every doctor that I saw there has practiced in the United States," says Bonnewell.

But three days after walking into the hospital, he was on the operating table. Two weeks later, he was home.

How does he feel? "Wonderful. I wish I'd found them sooner," says Bonnewell. "Because I went through a year – I was in bad shape. I couldn't walk across the room."

and what of the level of care? (note: I can personally attest to this)

"I found it so strange in Thailand, because they were all registered nurses. Being in a hospital in the United States, we see all kinds of orderlies, all kinds of aides, maybe one RN on duty on the whole floor of the hospital," says Bonnewell. "In Thailand, I bet I had eight RNs just on my section of the floor alone. First-class care."


And the facilities? Wait Time? Any standard we use for 'best', america's health care pales in comparison to what you can get elsewhere...

Here is another american patient describing her experience in bumrungrad;

"It's much nicer than any that I've ever stayed in the United States," says Atwater. The rooms look more like hotel rooms than hospital rooms, and that's no accident. The idea was to make the whole hospital look like a hotel and a five-star hotel at that."


These comments were not lifted from their website but rather from 60 minutes, who did a story on Medical tourism

http://wcbstv.com/health/60.Minutes.Surgery.2.257388.html

And it just isn't Bumrungrad. I know a guy right in LIma who moved his mother down there for 24 hour nursing care. Cost? $300 bucks per month. My sisters and I were just paying 500 dollars PER DAY for SHITTY 24 hour nursing care and couldn't afford it, so we had to move mom to a nursing home...7000 grand per month.

As for me, I had my teeth whitened in Lima last January...it was 60 bucks. The dentist wasn't happy with the results so she brought me back for two extra treatment sessions gratitious. A similar treatment in america is $500 bucks, and if you return, you pay again. I had a crown and all my fillings replaced in Colombia for $600 bucks...The cost was going to be $1800 in america...for just the crown. I had an exective checkup at Bumrungrad which was the equivalent of $5000 dollars of tests in america..for $300 bucks.

Medicine? A Zpac (antibiotic) anywhere in the world costs about $3 to 5 buc ks...except america where it costs $80, and you don't need a doctor visit ($75) and a follow up ($75) for a total cost of $230 bucks and two half days off work. Instead, you walk in the pharmacy and ask for it and they hand it to you. Morning after pill... Fuck up and cum in a girl? You cannot even get it in america, and most other places you can go spend 10 bucks and protect yourself against an unwanted pregnancy.

This scenario is repeated thruout the spectrum of medicines. Even with medical insurance at sky high prices, we still pay much more than most people for care that often is configured to protect the provider, not the consumer.

Best health care in the world? That is what they have brainwashed us to believe....but the truth is far different. I pay more in health insurance premiums than I would pay for any reasonable health care anywhere else in the world, and get treated like a second class citizen while doing so.

WestFLA,

The CatOnly if you are indepently wealthy or have an insurance company that never
turns down claims. If so, the US system is great.

For anyone else, much of the world has a better system. I was treated in an emergency room in
Guatemala. I had a nurse and two doctors talking to me within less than one minute of walking
through the door.

I stayed overnight, and walked out all better without extracting so much as one penny out of
my pocket.

Lowly Guatemala can achieve this, but our US superpower, the greatest and wealthiest country
in the history of the world, cannot??!!

Fred,

I am sure we can have all kinds of fun with this one if we put our mind to it. For 1, if you also want her to swallow you can try one of my favorites:

"Chupame bien y traga hasta la ultima gota." Roughly translated, this means, "Suck me good and make sure you swallow every drop". If you are trying to determine whether this service is offered, you can ask: "Deseo que me chupas bien sin condom y que tragas hasta la ultima gota", which roughly translated means, "I would like you to suck me good without a condom and swallow every drop."

If you have not figured it out yet from what DB wrote, "sin condom" means "without condom" and can be used on its own, as in "chupas sin condom?" (Do you suck without a condom?).

I hope this helps

imperfect subjunctive "quisiera" than the present indicative "quiero."

As in "Quisiera Taco Bell."

"Quiero" is very direct, as in "I want it."

LIMA, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Peru's economy accelerated in September toward 8 percent growth for 2007, and strong domestic demand outpaced the traditional engine of mining as the Andean economy posted its 75th month of expansion.

Gross domestic product rose 8.8 percent in September from the same month a year earlier, topping market estimates as retail sales surged 12.27 percent and construction grew 10.8 percent, official data showed on Thursday.

The mining and petroleum sector was slower, at 8.4 percent.

"Importantly, the performance of key sectors besides primary goods are surpassing expectations," said Roberto Flores of the Centura SAB brokerage in Lima.

Traditionally, exports of minerals led Peruvian growth spurts, but the economy's export base is diversifying with textiles and agricultural products.

Strong domestic demand, fueled by an expanding credit supply, is now leading an economic boom that has pushed Peru past many other emerging market nations.

The government has said growth should hit 8 percent this year and growth sped up in the latest period.

However, government concern is now being expressed in the escalation of the price of pussy with reports emerging of significant inflation, well beyond the 8% growth rate with many consumers expressing dissatisfaction over lack of perceived added-value despite the sustainability of supply.

In the third quarter, the country's statistics agency said the economy expanded 8.4 percent, faster than an initially reported 7.6 percent pace for the second quarter.

Growth in the 12 months through September was 8.16 percent and the economy appears to have bounced back from a lull in August, when a powerful earthquake trimmed expansion for the month to 6.9 percent.

Economists expect Peru's growth outlook to improve further if the U.S. Senate approves a bilateral free trade pact for the two countries before the end of this year.

However, faster growth could pressure inflation, which is running around 3 percent, at the ceiling of the central bank's target range. The central bank has hiked the benchmark interest rate twice this year, bringing it up to 5 percent to control inflation expectations.

"Strong GDP growth in September supports expectations for the central bank raising interest rates again next year," said Felipe Hernandez, a Deutsche Bank analyst, in a note to investors.

UNEMPLOYMENT FALLS

Peru's statistics agency said faster growth reduced joblessness.

The unemployment rate in metropolitan Lima, the country's economic hub, fell to 7.9 percent in the August-to-October period from 8.5 percent in the same period a year earlier.

The jobless rate was 8.2 percent in the July-to-September period.

The main culprit has been the importation of ¨Colombian fur¨ with its intrinsic VAT and the incorrect perception amongst Peruvians that imported is better than domestic(ie Brahma vs Pilsen). This in turn has caused a decrease in domestic sales and rather then reducing prices to hold market share, Peruvians inherently raise prices to offset declining market share.

Samu Ray,

Ok, as I understand it, you have pre-paid mobile service. Who is your service provider (i.e. phone company) today? Is this a cell phone with a SIM card in it? You need to give us a little context here.

Also, where are you going in the US?

Samu Ray,

Claro is a GSM operator and when travelling outside of Peru you will only be able to connect to networks of other GSM operators. Most of the world uses the GSM standard but the US uses mostly the CDMA standard which is incompatible with GSM. Therefore, you will not be able to connect on networks such as as "Sprint PCS" and "Verizon Wireless" while you are in the US.

You will be able to connect to "T Mobile" and "AT&T" both of whom operate GSM networks. There may be others but I lose track of who offers what. You should be warned, however, that when you use a Claro SIM card outside of Peru, you are "roaming" and are subject to international roaming rates.

Look at it this way. Since Claro does not operate a network in the US, or anywhere outside of Peru, some other phone company- not Claro- is actually completing your call for you. That carrier bills Claro and Claro bills you. This is true regardless of whether you call an LA number, a Peru number or anywhere else. It is also true for incoming calls.

But Claro does not bill you at your regular rate. Claro bills you at international roaming rates because of the extra effort involved in handling your call and because it has to compensate the other carrier (That is the story but it is actually BS because they charge way more than it is costs to deliver the service). These rates are usually extortionate ($2-$3 per minute) and bills can quicky run into the hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

Of course, in your case- because you are using a pre-paid card- the service will just stop once your credit runs out. However, this will happen alot quicker than you think if you are not aware of international roaming charges.

Before you leave for LA, call Claro customer service and ask them how much they are going to charge you for calls originated in the US. This will tell you exactly what you are going to pay when you use your phone in the US. You also need to check whether international roaming service is activated on your phone. Some mobile phone companies do not activate this feature automatically, in order to prevent fraud. If it is not activated on your number, you will get to the US and your phone will refuse to connect to any network at all or will prevent you from making any calls, even though you have credit. If you do speak to customer service they should also be able to tell you which phone companies Claro has interconnect agreements with (i.e. Which phone companies your Claro phone will be able to connect to) in the US.

The standard way around all of these problems, of course, is to buy a local SIM card in the country you are visiting. However, that has its drawbacks also, as no one will know the number, but at least you will be able to dial out cheaply.

I hope this helps.

The Cat

PS I purchased a pre-paid Claro SIM card (just like yours) when I was in Lima and just switched it on here in the US for the first time. Guess what happened? Nothing! This tells me that Claro does not allow international roaming by default. You will probably have to call Claro customer service and get international roaming activated if you want to use this service while you are in the US.

Polvo,

I have been in the business a long time but the "carrier's vaseline jar" is a new concept even for me (Though getting well and truly shafted on international roaming charges is not). I will bring it up next time I meet with a mobile carrier and see what kind of reaction I get.

You are right, of course. I tried to make the point that using a Claro SIM card/number in the US is going to be very expensive. Still, it is Samu's money and if that is how he wants to spend it that is his decision.

I think I also made the point that the way to deal with "all of these problems" - one of them being expense- is to buy a local pre-paid SIM card in the country you are visiting and put it in your phone (or buy a second handset also). This works in most countries (e.g Peru - where Claro and Movistar are happy to sell you pre-paid SIM cards for 20 Soles or so) but the US is funny. To be honest, I have never needed to buy a pre-paid SIM card from a US phone company and do not even know whether they are available or how cheap they are to buy/use. Remember, pre-paid mobile telephony is less common in the US than elsewhere and there are also far fewer GSM carriers (Which is what Samu needs).

As you correctly point out, in the US you can buy pre-paid cards that can be used to call very economically from fixed lines (including phone booths) but this is not as convenient as a mobile phone.

Cat:

They all shaft you, my point ecxactly!! I bought an unblocked mobile in Peru specifically because it had the GSM 850 frequency and not the GSM 1900. Purchased an AT&T GoPhone pre-paid SIM and $15.00 credit. Calls are $0.25 each!!! (I'm testing to see why I have such crappy reception in my house - as Cingular (now AT&T) seem to have 850 and not 1900 in urban areas and this will tell me the booster to buy!).

If the mobile is for calls in the US then I would suggest the GoPhone. If it is for international calls the US pre-paids are not really suitable except for texts and receiving. For voice transmission it all sucks!! But, I agree he has to tell Claro customer service before he leaves that he wants the International Roaming option.

Hope I can shed some light on the subject...

I use T-Mobile in the US - GSM phone with T-mobile PRE-PAID. The cost to call Peru is exorbitant if I call cell to cell - better if it's cell to landline (phone in a home / business), anywhere from .25 to .75 a minute. (US Dollars)

The best way to call Peru (my wife's Peruvian)

1 - Buy a cheap MetroPCS service, they now have offices in LA - approx. $40.00 month. Then add dollars for international calling - cell to landline 0.047 cents a minute. They don't have a "contract" and if you don't use the phone it gets canceled. So when you leave, the phone goes inactive and unless you return and pay monthly fees, the number gets recycled.

2 - Buy a T-Mobile (I don't know about AT&T or others) prepaid chip. About $50.00, and includes, I think, $25.00 in minutes at 0.10 cents a minute. Then look for a CHEAP calling card that has an 800 number and no "connect" charges. The best I've found is IDT. Calls to Peru are 0.05 cents a minute to a landline and .25 cents to a cell phone. You still use your minutes on T-Mobile so the total cost is .15 cents a minute. 0.10 for T-Mobile and 0.05 for the card. If you call from a regular phone, the 800 number should be "free" and so you're only paying the IDT rate.

3 - Use Skype - 0.027 cents to a landline or 0.27 cents to a cell phone.

All of the costs I've stated are for calls to LIMA, if your calling any of the provinces the costs go up. Seems Lima has the most direct connection, and all other calls go to Lima first, then on to the provinces.

I may be a few cents off on some of my rates, but it is late, and I'm not checking Skypes rates right now.

Hearing Skype mentioned, I might as well come in with a related query.

Next time I'm in Lima I'd like to trying having phone sex with girls between real-life sessions. A particular kink of mine.

For instance I would do a girl in Trocadero, then give her some money that would entitle me to chat with her on the phone later before I meet her again the next day. If I give the girl phone-sex money roughly equivalent to real-sex money (eg 60 soles for an hour at Trocadero's rates), there's no reason for her not to agree. Of course the cost of calling would be on me and that's where I wonder whether Peru's mobile phone rates are competitive enough. Calling from a land line is not an option (I don't want hotel reception to listen in and, most importantly, I want to have a free-hand (literally!) to toss up comfortably).

What would a one-hour mobile-to-mobile talk cost me? And yes, I don't think things like Skype are practicable either because the sound quality is insufficient for phone-sex IMHO.

Thing is, sometimes you enjoy eating pussy and could do it for hours and sometimes it just does not taste right. The other night it did not taste right. Peruvian pros work with condoms. Condoms leave behind a smell and a taste. Being made of a natural substance (latex), they might even provide a medium for the growth of some bacteria you never find in an "unprotected" vaginal environment, who knows? Maybe some barebacking - which you would get in Asia - is required from time to time for a pussy to taste right? A natural-tasting pussy is certainly not a infected one but it is certainly not a sterile one either.

It's not just me. Peruanas have the worst hygiene on this planet. My first time ever in Peru I stayed with a non-pro and her family. I was the only one who ever had the urge to take a shower. Even after fucking she didn't go near water, she just put her clothes back on and continued about her routine.

Then, right before Christmas, a Peruana who lives about an hour from me came over to spend the night. She spent some time in my daughter's bathroom and I thought she was taking showers and the whole 9. However, when she left, I went to clean in the bathroom and there were no signs of used towels, washcloths, or the shower ever having been on.

When walking the streets of Lima I notice that many women have dirty fingernails and feet. It looks like they have been out working in a field. The other day when I was in Lima a non-pro came over who had the same look. She eventually got into the shower at my urging but it was evident that she did not wash her feet because after she exited the shower the floor towel became quite dirty. I gave the same girl a kit from the airplane that included a toothbrush, but in neither of two wake-ups did I ever see her brush her teeth.
Maybe this is how I can account for a young lady who I once met in Parque Kennedy who was very beautiful to me. Long black hair and all. But when she opened her mouth most of her teeth had been rotted out.

Again, it's not just me. When one of my wingmen returned from Lima the last time he told me a story of him being in bed with a girl, non-pro. They didn't have on clothes and he started to smell something god awful. It turns out that the girl had a shitty ass crack. (I still can not stop laughing about that one!)

You can't pay a Brazilian woman not to take a shower before and after sex. Colombianas are pretty clean too. Even in the DR the ladies like to stay fresh. But for some reason Peruanas are afraid of water.

That being said, she always makes sure to clean up prior to any coitial activites.

As far as teeth go, I was thinking the opposite - at least in middle class girls.

Everyone I met had beautiful white teeth.

Just my two cents.

IMHO Polvo Azules is the best place to go to get real bargins. Lacoste shirts are 7$. Most items are brand name and appear to be great condition ,i.e. new. Shoes and shirts & jeans are in huge supply and selection.

On Los Pinos there are several tailors. I did have a jacket, some shirts and a pair of pants made. Prices not like PA but way better than the states.

Alos in Cenro Lima there is a street know as calle de lenthes, which has a gozillion glasses shops. I bought 4 pair, one of which was transition lens with wireless frames all for about 350 us. I had my prescription from the us and had checked prices. Wireless frames alone where over 300 in the us and that is with no lens. In the us this would havw cost me ovet 1200 bucks.

I stopped by Polvo Azules. When I did some intense questioning about the clothes and colognes, I was told that most of the items were knock-offs produced in Panama. The saleswoman told me that they couldn't possibly sell name brand items at that price.

I am not saying they would not be worth the price, just that they items were not originals.

However, I did have great luck picking up several pair of glasses there. I had intended to have my eyes checked in the U.S. and bring my prescription along with me, but I'm sure glad I never got around to doing so.

I stopped in a shop and the girl took me a half a block to see the optician. I doubt if he is a real doctor, but he knew what he was doing. He did not dilate my pupils or test for glaucoma, but rather just tested my eyes until he found the right prescription to correct my vision.

Total cost for the prescription: S./ 10 = $3.64!!!

After some serious bargaining on price, I purchased two regular pair and one pair of prescription sunglasses for $31 each. I was told they would be ready in 45 minutes (right), but it was more like an hour and a half.

The glasses work and feel great. At less than US$100 for the examination and glasses, this was an incredible a bargain!

The surprise jump in the Sol this week to 2.77 goes against conventional wisdom as the dollar continues its slide against the Euro. We all saw what happened when Berkshire Hathaway jumped into the Brazil currency markets two years ago.

The below article will help explain the drivers behind this latest move:
LIMA, April 21 (Reuters) - Peru's Central Bank President Julio Velarde said on Monday the bank could further raise reserve requirements for bank accounts owned by foreign investment funds, to curb inflows of so-called hot money as the Andean economy booms.

Earlier this month, the bank said it would raise the requirements on these accounts to 120 percent from 40 percent, starting in May, in order to slow foreign flows, entering Peru to take advantage of the surging sol , the local currency.

The bank has said it wants to slow the sol's appreciation, which could cause trouble for banks and lenders if the sol were to enter a depreciation cycle.

"We will not hesitate to raise (the requirements) to 150, 200, 240, 500 700, 1,000 percent -- this is the message," said Velarde.

Most analysts expect the sol to continue to gain on sound economic fundamentals, despite the bank's moves to squeeze speculative capital out of the market, though the currency fell on Monday and the exchange rate has been volatile since the rule change on reserve requirements was announced.

Also on Monday, Velarde said Peru will likely grow 8 percent in 2008, raising an earlier projection of 7.5 percent.

Last year, Peru's economy, one of the fastest-growing in the world, expanded some 9 percent, pushed by strong internal demand.

Peru's economy grew 10.06 percent in January and 11.92 percent in February of this year.

Velarde upped his estimate of Peru's first-quarter growth in 2008 to 10.3 percent, from 9.5 percent.

But as the country enjoys double-digit growth, some officials and analysts worry whether the boom might be too much, too soon.

In an interview with Reuters late last month, Velarde recognized the economy could overheat if internal demand continues to surge.

Also, inflation, as measured as a price index for metropolitan Lima, has started to pick up, swelling some 2.18 percent in the first three months of 2008.

In the 12 months that ended in March, inflation hit 5.5 percent.

The bank's annual target is 2 percent, plus or minus one percentage point.

In case you haven't seen the most recent "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", let it be known that it takes place mostly in Peru (well, actually filmed in Hawaii, but who besides a Peruvian is gonna be able to tell?).

Indiana Jones and his 'sidekick' (wink, wink, nod, nod - you'll understand when you see the movie) travel to Peru to find a crystalline skull that is the source of unspeakable power. You can see the famous red-line following the DC-8 plane flight from NY to Lima then onto Nazca. A good part of the movie occurs in near the Nazca lines, then it is onto to Iguitos and then onto the Amazon river, east of Iquitos. Indiana Jones, BTW is fluent in the indigenous Quechua langauge of Peru, and can read Mayan glyphs in an instant.

So expect a bump in the tourist travel to see the Nazca lines, jungle tours etc. The Peruvian tourism board must be falling over themselves in abject joy over the free worldwide advertising. Gonzo give the movie a 6 out of 10 - it looked good, but provided standard and unexceptional mediocre service.

Many are pissed off at the glaring errors of the movie: Mexican music in Nazca, Nazca as jungle (its desert), Indiana Jones learning quechua from Pancho Villa, mountains and cliffs in the Amazon jungle..etc. etc. But the bottom line is that it will probably give tourism a boost.

Aerocontinente eventually shuttered due to their boss being "accidentally" included on the US top ten list of the most sought after narco traficantes i.e. Foreign Drugkingpin.

Generally speaking, I think you are correct. Land should always appreciate or at least hold it's value. Once you build on it the economics can change drastically and you could easily lose your building costs. If you plan on living/retiring here full time then I would not worry to much. If I were doing it I would by 2 or more building lots and sit on them for a few years. If they appreciate sell one and use the proceeds to build your house, a few years later sell the third to recoup your original land cost.

When it comes to R.E. I am more lucky then smart. When I cashed out of the US market in 2004 (we all saw that one) I left $100,000.00 on the table, it turns out that in 2006 the R.E. market in Peru took off and my Penthouse has almost tripled in value, yet is only half the price of BA.

I had considered buying more apartments like many of my friends have done, but now I have reconsidered because of EARTHQUAKES!

I am not particularly afraid of them, but from an investment standpoint owning an apartment on 20th floor is not worth much if the other 19 floors in your building do not exist.

My point being that from now on I will only buy raw land,parking lots, or houses, where if something happens i still own the land!

Thanks
Pretty general question, suggest you rtff for more info.
If you want to monger only then Lima is the best city as you have girls from all over the country. Cusco and Iquitos are the runners up.

Pricing.
Girls go for 20 min/30min/hourly/daily and fall into the range S/60-S/300 on a hourly basis and $100-$300 for daily or overnight. Expect to pay S/150 for in call and S/200 for out call. SW´s are all over the board but young hotties around Pizza street can be had for S/50 and up.

These are all ballpark figures and you can find talent on either side of the range.

The major drawback is the size of the city and the difficulty navigating it.

You might want to try a smaller city like Medellen if you are budgeted for time. Once you do figure out Lima you will be sure to be back.

This was my first trip to Lima. I got here July 2 and leaving on the 15th. I found Lima to be a great town for a variety of experiences. I rented a secure apartment just short 5 minute walk to Kennedy Park and Pizza alley. THe food is very reasonable and fantastic. I experienced girls from all walks of life from chongos street girls, to semi pros.

I want to thank David 33 for setting up meeting Rianna. Once I spent time with her she was only one I wanted. We really connected and she is true gfe. We had best sex of my life.

I have been thinking about offering to volunteer somewhere. I really have a thing for indian kids and I would love to help out. My other idea is starting a business but the only thing I can think of is importing goods hard to find from the US. I am sure there is alot of red tape involved. Maybe that isn't a good idea.

I would consider opening a record store but who buys cd's when bootlegs are available...nobody.

Does anyone know of any volunteer opportunities in lima? Whatever I found online is a joke. There are online services that "sell" volunteer opportunities. One quoted a one week trip for $2,365. I guess from what I've read people want it on their resume. I just want to be more productive.

I think "sell" is a little strong, but I understand your point. Some of these volunteer trips involve the cost of constructing (a community stove for instance).

You can peruse the expat peru or lip forums or contact the local chapter of ACAP or get involved in the Miraflores Rotary Club. The MRC is always looking for volunteers and you can develop some business connections as well.

Most opportunities to help cholos are in the Sierra around Cusco and more importantly in the departments around Puno. My daughter (U.MICH) is spending next summer down here helping to set up a health care network in Puno.

Depending on your background/education/talents there may be opportunities in Lima as well.

Send me a PM outlining your interests and I will ask around.

I know a lot of you who are planning trips here in the next few months have seen some misleading posts regarding the exchange rate here at the moment.

A few weeks back because of government intervention and the demand for dollars we did hit a peak (on the street) of 2.96. for the past week or so it seems to have stabilized at 2.8, and I would do my budgeting around that number.

Regulars like Haco/Vaughn/xxxGoat/Polvo/Ian etc. have all left Lima anticipating a lousy winter.

While June was hellish for sure, July has so far been picture perfect(sunny 70's) for the past 3 weeks. Economists say this should continue till at least August.

I last saw a winter/summer? like this about 4 years ago and thank god all those sexy bellies are still being flaunted.

As much as I am enjoying mongering in south america I would like to be doing something more during my travels. If I want to eventually move down there I need to keep myself busy doing other things.

I have been thinking about offering to volunteer somewhere. I really have a thing for indian kids and I would love to help out. My other idea is starting a business but the only thing I can think of is importing goods hard to find from the US. I am sure there is alot of red tape involved. Maybe that isn't a good idea.

I would consider opening a record store but who buys cd's when bootlegs are available...nobody.

Does anyone know of any volunteer opportunities in lima? Whatever I found online is a joke. There are online services that "sell" volunteer opportunities. One quoted a one week trip for $2,365. I guess from what I've read people want it on their resume. I just want to be more productive.

I am not sure if the content of this post is allowed. Forgive me if it is not.

Thanks.
Artist,
This is the name of the group I was trying to remember. I thought your skills my mesh well!

AMENDMENTS ON PERUVIAN IMMIGRATION REGULATION
Published : July 25 2008


By Ricardo Guevara Bringas*

It would appear that amendments made recently to Peruvian Immigration Law in Peru are an effort on behalf of the government to address some systematic abuses to the system, while at the same time facilitating migratory procedures to benefit those foreigners who play by the rules.

Specifically, I am referring to the Peruvian Statute Law on immigration, Decreto Legislativo 703, which was recently modified by the Decreto Legislativo N° 1043 of 25 June 2008. This new law was authorized to regulate many aspects related to the United States Peru Trade Promotion Agreement.

This article aims to shed some light on the main aspects this new regulation. We will focus our analysis on the new status of the "tourist" visa since many expatriates coming to Peru first enter as tourists.

1) Renewal of Tourist Visas

a) The way it was BEFORE the new regulation came into force

Before the amendment of June 2008, if a tourist wanted to extend his or her stay in Peru, he or she needed to go to an immigration office and renew his/her tourist visa up to three times for a 30-day period each renewal. The maximum period that a visitor was allowed to stay in the country without leaving was up to 180 days. (90 days on the initial visa, then three renewals of 30 days each)

b) How it works NOW

The new system does not allow any renewal

The new regulation provides new duration for different visas. With regard of tourists' visas, article 33 of the amended Decreto Legislativo states "Tourists: up to 183 calendar days not renewable". This could have be construed in a way that a tourist could obtain visa extensions within the limit of 183 days.

Consequently, if you want to stay as tourist long term, ask at the border for the maximum duration the can give to you. You may be conceded a visa of up to 183 days, at the discretion of the border official, but remember, you will not be able to ask for an extension once you are in Peru.

Note that in the event you exceed the time allowed to stay in Peru as a tourist, you will have to pay a fine of US$ 1 per day when leaving the country.

2) Applying for a resident visa with a tourist visa

a) The way it was BEFORE the new regulation came into force

When a foreigner with a tourist visa wanted to obtain a resident visa, for instance as a worker or as an investor, he or she needed to apply for such a visa in Peru, then leave the country to fetch the visa in a Peruvian Consulate abroad –very often it was in Arica, Chile- and only later could he or she request the carné de extranjería in Peru.

b) The way it is NOW.

You may obtain a resident visa without leaving Peru

The new regulation allows foreigners who hold tourist visas to directly obtain a carné de extranería without leaving Peru. This procedure is called "cambio de calidad migratoria" and it could be performed before the new regulation, but its access was denied to tourist visa holders. Now, with the new legislation, tourists can obtain resident visas provided that they fulfill all the legal requirements, pay the US$200 fee, and they can do all this without leaving the country.

But note that according to DIGEMIN, if you have applied for the "cambio de calidad migratoria" as a holder of a temporary visa, e.g., tourist visa and you want to leave the country during the time of the process of you application, you will need to ask to DIGEMIN for a permission to leave Peru. This permit should be obtained within 48 hours from your application and it is granted for a period of no more than 30 days.

In conclusion, it can be said that Peruvian government wishes to strike a balance between the need of more flexibility for foreigners with tourist visas who are in Peru for leisure purposes and those who want to stay in Peru on a long term basis.
