If you can post a phone number and email contact that would be worth it's weight in gold.
Thank you for the info. The more contact info for budget hotels the better.
Artisttyp, before you call it "budget", find out if he's talking $ or S./ .

I probably should have used "decent" versus "budget". Budget in lima could be a heck of alot cheaper.

This place I was pretty nice for the price if anyone else stays here please advise how the other rooms look like and condition. The 80/s Room which I stayed in due to me being in town for 1 day was nice and had a modern bathroom. If you have any questions about it feel free to pm me.
Does anyone have any taxi recommendations for returning from the airport to the Miraflores/San Isidro area? I used to have the number of a good person who spoke English but I believe his phone was stolen and I have lost his email address. Thanks for any assistance

Thanks for any assistance[/QUOTE]Most guys have there own personal drivers, as I realize you lost your connection, I would suggest "green taxi" from the airport. Last time I used them it was S./45. Typically guys pay drivers $20.00 plus parking to have someone waiting for them.

PS: What happened to you, did you move to Arequippa?
It was mentioned in another thread about drinking at parties, but I´m starting to learn the fine points so I thought I´d share. (This info is only applicable outside Miraflores. In Miraflores everything is just like wherever you live, only in Spanish with poorly-mixed crappy music played much too loud and 2 or 3 times more expensive than anywhere else in Peru.)
When you go to a party everyone sits in a circle and drinks beer. There is only one glass and it is passed around the circle with a bottle and you drink a bit then pass it on. Even at a disco, you can buy a dozen bottles at a time but they will usually only give you one glass.
For informal parties: First you get the bottle handed to you to hold while the person before you drinks. When they hand you the glass you sling all the foam and backwash out onto the floor and occasionally onto other people in the circle. Then you pour yourself some beer, hand the bottle to the next person, drink, then either pour out some of the backwash yourself or if you are lazy or drunk (or both) just hand the glass to the next person.
For discos or special parties: The procedure here is slightly different. At a disco there will be one man in the circle who assumes the pouring and backwash slinging responsibilities for the women. For each woman he will pour a small amount of beer into the glass, hold the bottle while she drinks, then she will hand back the glass, the backwash will be slung, and a portion will be poured for the next girl in the circle. After each of the girls has been served the guy will pour a glass for himself then hand the bottle to the next guy, in the same manner as the informal parties. After all the men have drunk the bottle is handed back to the first guy who will again serve the ladies.
A smart fellow will assume the pouring duties for the ladies. He will be surrounded by women, he will be getting them drunk, and each time he serves a woman it is an opportunity to make eye contact and smirky smiles. To get a particular girl´s attention you can pour a man´s quantity for her then give her the eye when she smiles at what you´ve done.

But its fuunny, I for one unless its a particularlly beautiful girl in the crowd with whom I want to swap spit, I usually maintain my own glass. Just the American way. On the other hand I love that the peruvian culture is so intimate with one another. kissing when you greet and stuff like that. It creates many opportunities if your really "in the know".
I read many reports about Lima, . Its seem very popular compare to Brasil, D. R or buenos aires in terms of service and price, is Lima number place for mongering. Anyone notice if its have to beach scene right in the spot.
Than you

There is a beach in Miraflores, but its not that great. You have to go south about 30 min. to an hour to get to the good beaches.

Never, ever, take the glass from Artisttyp. Now I like him a lot, but I will pass the glass to [b]him[/b]!!

Alot of interesting customs here, like the "egg exorcism's" most of us see routinely performed!
But the all time funniest is to see a Peruvian punter do a "Lime test" on the Chica before bare backing her!
