That's a funny check list and I got a chuckle out of it.

I also forgot to mention two other things. Inside my house, she picked up a business card that was sitting on my table and then flipped it over to read the back of the card. She asked me what the card was for. Huh? The card was only for my hairdresser and the back was for the appointment time. Can you imagine going to someone's house for the first time and doing something like that? When we were leaving my house, she stopped for a second as it was dark outside, to count the number of houses from the corner to my house. So I suspect she is a screen scratcher too.

After receiving another call from her with no message the next evening, I sent her an email telling her that I had some unresolved personal issues and could not see her again. Though I failed to mention, she was the 'unresolved personal issue'.

They never, ever change. She's looking for a provider and testing you every step of the way.

Will he buy me dinner even thought that was not the original plan? Check.

Can I tell him that I used a gringo to get in his country, but keep him hanging around for the night with him thinking he might get lucky sometime in the next month? Check.

Can I get inside his place and see if he really owns anything? Check.

Did he agree to meet with me to walk with my two kids from the first gringo I punked, even after my girlfriend called me with our pre-planned "bail out after checking out his house" call? Check.

As you noted, you are wise to avoid this one!

I recently met a woman who is Peruvian...I did not see her but quickly received a phone call from her telling me that she was seated in the restaurant side of the bar...told me that she had married an American guy, (they are now divorced)...a 7 and a 10 year old...After getting stuck with the bill for dinner, she gave me a ride home and wanted a look see inside my house. However, after a short tour of the house, she got a call that she needed to pick up her kids. I walked her to the car and barely received a kiss on the cheek...This morning I received a call from her but she hung up before I could answer...

If you have aussie dollars that you want to change into Peruvian Soles, you may want to bring it with you if available from aussie banks.

I found only two money changers at the baggage collection area. One did not take aud and the other one is only offering 1. 6 compared to 2. 7 for USD.

Even Interbank branch in miraflores which was open on a Saturday did not accept aud.

Another option maybe to use the atm and withdraw soles and hope that the exchange rate is close to parity with the USD.

AUD$ are NOT ready excepted or changeable anywhere in South America.

If you are lucky to find a place that will except them the exchange rate will be very poor when compared to the readily accepted UDS$.

I can tell you that from personal experience the exchange rate with your credit / debit card will be fine.

But. Depending on the bank you use. (I have NAB) the you will find when you get home that you have been slugged $AUD 9 per Atm transaction for use of a international ATM

I would just use your ATM card. I have found in my travels through Peru that the best rates come from ATM machines. Problem is that many only allow you to take out 700 soles at a time.

This morning I received a call from her but she hung up before I could answer. Isn't that what Peruvian woman do in Peru? Call and then hang up to save on the minutes? .

Yes, they do it hoping you'll call back and pay for the minutes. You can take the woman out of Peru, but you can't take Peru out of the woman.

I recently met a woman who is Peruvian but has lived in the US for the past several years. Since an American friend of mine knew about this woman, he forwarded her contact information to me. I called her and arranged to meet at a local bar / restaurant in my home city in the US. When I entered the bar at the arranged time, I did not see her but quickly received a phone call from her telling me that she was seated in the restaurant side of the bar. I then went over to her realizing that I was on the potential hook for a meal plus drinks as she professed how hungry she was.

I was curious how she got into the US as the visa difficulties are so complex nowadays. She told me that she had married an American guy, (they are now divorced) who lived in Peru at the time and then she moved with him back to the states. Plus, she has two kids by him -- a 7 and a 10 year old. This was totally new information for me. Also, her husband took the 7 year old's passport as he thinks that she will return to Peru with the kids and never look back.

After getting stuck with the bill for dinner, she gave me a ride home and wanted a look see inside my house. However, after a short tour of the house, she got a call that she needed to pick up her kids. I walked her to the car and barely received a kiss on the cheek. Then she suggested that we take a walk in a nearby park someday (with her two KIDS!).

This morning I received a call from her but she hung up before I could answer. Isn't that what Peruvian woman do in Peru? Call and then hang up to save on the minutes? Anyway, I found the whole situation rather humorous. Needless to say, that was the beginning and the end of our 'relationship'.

Mexican women like Bush .

Really? I thought they believed he was an arrogant asshole like most people around the world!

I've been checking out the photo gallery and it seems like a lot of the girls in Peru have natural pussy hair. I love this and want to find a place where I can experience this without looking too hard. I've only fucked one chick with a natural Bush, and it was just by luck. A korean chick in an AMP. With regular girls, including my current gf, she refuses to grow it in past a weeks growth. I don't like extremely hairy girls, like the hirsuite websites. I just want a nice natural triangle.

I'm from NY and I can pretty much travel anywhere, but I speak spanish and would feel most comfortable in Latin American / Caribbean. Peru is a bit far though, so don't bother mentioning Thailand or the Phillipines. I've seen that Cuba is good for natural Bush, but I don't know if I want the hassle with the embargo situation. Can anyone give me some advice? Also, I think that most pros anywhere probably shave, so I'm probably looking for a place where most regular non-pro girls don't shave, and are obtainable by a decent looking American tourist. Thanks for your input.

Peru is an excellent place for hair. Be warned though that sometimes it comes at the price of hygiene. Asia should be a gold mine for you. China perhaps? Mexican women like Bush too if you like the dark indian chicas.

I prefer neatly trimmed pubes but I rarely find them.

Yes, unfortunately that is par for the course here in Lima (Puno is another story). In Lima no one interferes. They just watch the show. Something to be said for many parts of the USA where every other driver is probably armed and would love the excuse to blow away one of these assholes.

A few days ago my number 1 enamorada in Lima was assaulted. She is a manager at an international accounting firm. She was at a traffic signal in broad daylight and there was a lot of other traffic as well. A guy broke her passenger side window, grabbed her by the hair and demanded her purse. Well she keeps her purse in the trunk. The only thing that was close was her Blackberry so he took that and ran. It is a damn shame too. Do you know how long it took her to upgrade that damn phone. For years she had been carrying around an ancient artifact that she could not even text from. With all the other people around no one tried to do anything to help. I am just glad she is okay.

Thanks Globetrotter.

I didn's saw this ad, and the last day I COULDN'T log in? I don't know if it was just me? Anyway, am in place, was lucky with the apartment and already mongered; will tell more of that in a later mail.

I moved to Lima 1 1/2yrs ago and had the same issue. I strongly suggest if you really want the apartment, before you send any money you ask them to send you a copy of their DNI (Peruvean Identity Card) both front and back. That way you can at least verify that the person you are sending money too is the same and also ask for a copy of the apartment ownership and if there is a problem you can go to the police with it.

If they are legit then they will have no problem sending you the copies.

Personally, I think you are safer by selecting your apartment once you are here, there are plenty available in Miraflores at resasonable prices. You do not need to panic if you don't have one reserved by the time you arrive. I found mine after 20 apartment views over 2 days, it was easy.

Peruvian police this week discovered the body of a woman who was murdered in August in Lima’s notorious Lurigancho prison, according to daily El Comercio.
The body of Lesly Paredes, 22, was uncovered in the cell of Jason Staling, a 32-year-old Dutchman who has been in prison since May 2009 on drug trafficking charges.

Paredes had been in a relationship with Staling and was visiting him in August when they got into a violent argument. Staling allegedly confessed to strangling Paredes in his cell, where he hid her.

Authorities only became suspicious three months after the crime due to a strong smell coming from Staling’s cell, where they found Paredes’ body this past weekend after knocking down a bench-type wall.

The head of Peru’s National Penitentiary Institute (INPE), Wilson Hernandez, said security at the prison is the responsibility of the national police, which should have noticed that Paredes did not leave the prison.
Lurigancho has been described as one of Latin America’s most dangerous prisons, ranking second to the Santa Marta prison in Mexico. Lurigancho currently houses approximately 8,000 inmates. It was originally built to house up to 2,000.

Over the past week, two other cases have demonstrated the challenges in the prison and general lack of control by authorities, who are frequently changed.

On Monday, El Comercio reported that an inmate who recently entered the prison was stabbed to death four days ago in one of the pavilions. Police have not provided further information on that murder, the daily reports.
Also last week, an inmate was seen talking on a cell phone during a visit from Justice Minister Rosario Fernandez and Health Minister Oscar Ugarte.

Thanks Steve, yes I thought it was a little strange, but she seems to be honest and sincere in the conversation (maybe everyone that have been fraud, say´s the same).

I wrote back with your proposal.
