[Miraflores Apt]

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,

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.

Can you tell us what kind of con the street girls pulled on you? When I went to polvos azules I chose to go into a ground floor bar with a bed not up into a hotel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I read on the local paper that the brothel was close and it was bringing down 2,000 soles a day ... some business eh?? all 4 levels shut down ... I guess the *****s will be out ... you can read it on .. www.trome.com .. date is april 5th 2007

[R Brandon]

I certainly hope they get the problems worked out. I really like San Jose brothel and a great early morning option for the frugal hobbyist.rbc100

San jose *****house has been shut down by police this morning, I read it
in today´s paper. The paper says, it never had permit to function selling sex.

.....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!!

Gents:

American Airlines are offering a "special" from MIA to Lima at $379 exc. tax. There is a fairly serious restriction: "Depart anytime Wednesday, April 11, 2007, through Friday, April 13, 2007. Return anytime the following Monday through Wednesday. "

However, not bad for a quickie (or several)!!

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 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.

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?
