(Another e-mail from my time in Peru)
Some other things have come into my head about Peru, which I think are interesting, which I shall share.
Where are the Americans??? I swear, everywhere I go, Germans Germans Germans. Today, at a cafe, at both other tables were Germans. It was interesting, because they had to order in English, since they didn´t know Spanish.
Oh, and coffee. It is interesting, in Peru they take the essence of the coffee in a liquid form, and then add hot water to it. It is quite good. And Dad, you´ll be happy to know that you can get an Americano
here too, they have cafés with all our favorite coffee drink. One size fits all, though.
The thing that I have the most problem with, though, is the bathroom situation. You aren´t suppose to put your toilet paper in the toilet, but in the wastebasket next to the toilet. I just can´t bring myself to do that, especially where I live. I don´t want to smell that! It is bad enough here at the school, the smell, makes me want to gag.
Alright, that is my thoughts for now!
¡Hasta Luego!
