I just registered by credit card. Payment was accepted, then when I tried to log in I got the message "membership cancelled". Not much use writing to the website, you get an "autoresponse", plus a proposal to "buy this website" (site for sale, not a good sign!).

Now it seems the billing site is not legit either (billing support number in the US "no longer exists") so I just cancelled my credit card. It had already been charged for the 30 or so euros, for which I'll have to lodge a complaint with the credit card company. Never again!

A very good read on Miraflores posted in the Washington post last Sunday.

Excellent restaurant tips.

actually my parents own a building in surco, and i would like it to be wireless. as far as i know i have bootleg cable thru a cuz that works for the cable company, i think my speedy will do ... i just have to do it from here and let the help know that they will be coming to do the work .. thanks for your help .. and yup i know about the peruvian red tape..

.. how can i get say wireless service in my house .. and if so do i need to set up the appointment way before i arrive ..

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!!)

suerte

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!

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.

I was just in Media Floris for about 5 hours found the hunting kinda slow due to father's day. I was walking through Kenedy park and was approached by this 25 year old about a 6 on the scale of things. Paid 40 dollars for her and about 50 sol for the rooom two hours. Service was great I was really surprised great gal.

I also saw some SW around centro pizza but they looked so old not my thing. I will tomorrow get our of the tourist area tomorrow and venture other places mentioned in the forum. If anyone is in the area and wants to get together let me know via forum email and we can monger together.

To Rosita,
Yeah! there are people on this forum that would call you names.

A while back I asked a question on another thread and I was called
¨lazy newbie¨ by a senile member. These people, because they have
lots of post made, have their ego bigger than their ass!

[Samu Ray]

Thanks, I´ll read ¨The fucken Forum¨.

Well, good for him. I went to Spiritair.com and they start service to Lima June 27th, 2007. Prices are $249.00 each way through July 7 and it looks to drop to $219.00 each way before taxes. $88.00 each way is a great deal.

JES

My boyfriend in Florida called me this weekend to tell me he got me tickets to visit him on a new airline that is coming to Lima. He said they were only $88.00 each way plus tax. It was called Spirit and I thought I would pass it along. See you in July!

Besitos,
