[QUOTE=Artisttyp]Do I need an ID of some sort to cash US dollars into soles at the casinos ? I usually walk around with a copy of my passport and birth certificate. Will that work ?

Should I expect at least 3 soles per dollar ?[/QUOTE]

Artisttyp,

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.

Sorry I was not able to fully address your questions.

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.

Ussally at a better rate than the street to attract customer .

No Id is necessary but some limit their transactions to $USD 200 per person per day.

Casino at El Pardo hotel will change $500 no problem / day

Hi fellow mongers,

I will be going to Peru in October and was hoping you guys could help me out. I am asian and I was wondering if Peruvians are Asian friendly. Also, I don't really speak Spanish. Would I be better off getting an escort or going to the brothels? What is the usual charge? I looked at some websites but did not see any prices.

Thnx boyz

First thing is that they will think that you are peruvian. Peru has a very large chinese and japanese population.

I'm sure other people will give you info in regards to teh brothels.

Happy Monging

I just got a promotional email from Spirit Airlines with fares from $119 one way to Lima out of Ft. Lauderdale. I'm sure there are some asterisked add-ons but still great prices. These fares are for a limited time only. Check them out at [url]www.spiritair.com[/url].

Lome Togo don't expect much from SPIRIT. I really question that airline. Had the GF fly in from Peru and it was fiasco coming and going; losing her luggage, late arrival, could not track flight status on their website; phone rang busy when calling.. etc..

Just makes one wonder if their flight maintenance dept follows suit with the rest of the airline!

Awesome deal, here is the full link:

Just got back from the trocadero. THAT SHIT IS CRAZY!! It is by far something out of the movies. About 100 or so girls in rows of prison cells that look like the prison hall from the movie escape from alcatraz. Some of the women were fine as hell while some looked old enough to be my grandmother.

Anyway did the deed with 4 '"smokers"". I said what the hell and took some levitra b4 I left so I was ready to last. Trocadero I believe has two sides on the first side "cell block A"' a few lookers but "cell block"' B is filled with tru professionals. I dont mean the kind that rush you but the kind that knows how to make you come before you know what theyre doin. One chica was doin splits and shit on my dick, it was wild. I went crazy in their it was so much pussy. I couldnt help but to think "damn"' I wish this shit was in America Id love to come here with my buddies on my 18th birthday, wed have a blast.

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.

Cheers,

Starting about half way through is some fantastic cowgirl action.
If only all our sweeties could study the technique.

Nice, nice, nice.

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.

Hey Artisttyp,

What kind of brand goods we talkin bout? Hopefully something good?

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.
