Hello you reader,
The people of Peru are quite easily likeable. I wish to pounce into the soul of the city i live in, if not the whole country. I don´t want to be an alien or a tourist. So if you continue reading this, you will get a view of the soul, are you a voyeur? take a peak why don´t you.
I have had some interesting conversations with people here. A peruvian man in a restaurant was speaking to me about Gandhi and the status of women in India. And he asked me about Gandhi´s son dying because of drinking too much.
And the general store guy in my building keeps calling me by different names, he´s quite an animated and cute man, he has a very genuine smile, like a Young boy after pulling a prank. He says to me, “aaahhh bommmbaiii bombaiii” or “induu indu”. He asked about why the women in India wear the bindhi on the forehead, i actually do know why, but i couldn´t even begin to explain it in spanish. I think i will find a website that explains it in spanish so i can tell him, or if you know how to explain it in spanish, then please tell me, i dont want to let the old man down.So the Peruvians know a fair bit about India, but the Indians barely know of the existance of Peru. I wonder how much the Chinese know about Peru, after all, there are more than 3 million Peruvian-Chinese here, not to mention the famous Chifa food.
I feel bad about not writing the names of these people, quite ashamed. I should know the names of the people who have been real and shared something human with me, so i will ask try to remember this and ask them the next time.
i am sleepy now. the way of saying this is in spanish is quite weird, Tengo sueño (ñ = nyuh). literally translated, it means, i have dreams.
