SOME FACTS ‘BOUT PERU

Size : imagine Portugal+Spain+France+Belgium+Netherlands+Switzerland…very big isn’t it ?

Population: 28 millions (+2 ones abroad, working usually, hehe)…few people

Capital: Lima (8 millions inhabitants), founded in 1535, the most important city in America for, let’s see, 200 years until some decisions of an asshole spanish king…several churches, monuments, old houses, kms of beach, tasty food, relatively cheap (if u earn more than 30000 euros a year, just kidding), malls open 7 days (amazing right?), etc etc etc…

Important cities: Arequipa (very beautiful, far from Lima though), Cusco (Macchu Picchu I know, lots of tourists, awesome ancient monuments n drugs r not so cheap, so…think better, he), Iquitos (placed in forest beside Amazon River, very hot, exotic food, exotic animals, exotic sex, hahaha), Trujillo (on the coast, pretty…in fact i have been to there just to work, how boring!), Chiclayo (on the coast as well, an archaeological place near, more gold than Fort Knox)

Type of government: democracy (??????????????)…mmmmmmm if that means that u go to vote every 5 years to elect a new buddy (who does a little or even worse, nothing), yes, it’s a democracy!

What do we export?: gold, silver, asparagus, fish, clothes, fruits…n immigrants

What do we import? american series, MTV, some very nice BMW, much very ugly Toyota, oil, potatoes (!), Marlboro, Jack Daniels, Ballantines, Baileys, Chivas, Bacardi, Guess, Diesel, Nike, Lacoste, Adidas, DKNY, Lenovo, LG, Phillips (u know blonde tulip!), etc etc etc…..

What do we think ‘bout our neighbours?

- chilean buddies: first, they r not actually our buddies, neither before nor in the future I guess. second, it’s a pity that they don’t have a similar cultural heritage…even so, it’s time to create on ur own!
- bolivian buddies: we r very alike, two centuries ago they were part of Perú till Bolívar had a different opinion (thanx).
- ecuadorian buddies: for some strange reason they believed for many, many, many years that Amazon river belonged to them…that’s why we used to fight but not now
-colombian buddies: both of us produce 90% of cocaine, hehe…no further explanation
- brazilian buddies: we have always admired brazilian soccer, n specially their women, ha...we share as well the rain forest.
