Kyaaa!
I am having tons of fun in Peru! I cant find the apostrophe button on this keyboard, so I have to type stupid. But my time is up for now, I will leave this entry here to edit when I have a chance. I will show some pics too!
6/3/09: Ok, back home with parasites, I think. It sucks. I'm not feeling so hot and I still have to unpack even though I meant to like 2 hours ago. MANGA IS MY KRYPTONITE!
But I managed to get my PS2 modded! I'm always nervous of talking about, let's say, sketchy things, on my blog in case some one stumbles across it and pulls up my personal bizness to slam me. It would suck big time.
So I'll be careful with what I say about Peru. I need to go to my sister's house and use her comp since I only have the memory chip to upload pictures. I wish I took more, but I was hesitant since my mom would yank my arm down during the best photo moments and say "You're asking to get mugged!". Shit's serious down there! We went through a mugger phase in a section of Lima, actually. Nothing serious, I just had to keep hiding my purse and camera at random moments. It became kind of like a game, actually, guessing when to hide my things before my mom told me to. I wasn't too worried, police were everywhere and honestly, I could throw a hoe down.
The language requirements were much more lax this time around for me. I switched alot between Spanish and English in the house and I tried to speak nothing but Spanish on the streets, but sometimes I would say something aloud and only the people who knew English would get it. There were moments my arrogance got the best of me. That's what I love about Peru, though. It really knocks you down a few blocks below what you have. The people are humble and sincere, and their culture is more conservative and serious. I thought, "I could stay here for a long time and shake things up!" but I know, and everyone in my family says so, that nothing I do in Peru could amount to what I can achieve with an American college degree.
I knew this would get around to school eventually.
