Bloat baby bloat...disco inferno!

A list type blog!!

Things that I will return to Canada with

a giant belly due to the unexpected weight gain here. Food here is different in terms of heaviness than what I am accustomed too...usually a diet of fruit, yogurt, cereal, toast and coffee. I'm none to pleased about this new addition to myself.

Dark skin. From all the sun! This I am okay returning with.

Popeye type arms. No amount of yoga practice can help you with keeping your balance while standing on a Limeno bus. You develop some crazy arm muscles from all the twisting and straining you do holding onto the bars and trying to keep your balance.

Improved knowledge of the Spanish language!

A lot of scars from blisters.

A lot of scars from the GIANT mosquito bites I get here!

A stuffed llama doll! Yay! Well I haven't purchased it yet but I will.


Things about Peru that I will miss:

Fun salsa and cumbia music playing in the public buses!

Getting change from your fare for public transit

The weather (obviously)

Beaches!

Chicha morada!

The boys I work with of course

Speaking Spanish everyday

Picarones!

Papa rellenas

The fun, mixed-use neighbourhoods around here

In a way...the crazy driving here. It makes the trip more interesting although I am sure I would have a heart attack trying to drive in it.

How kind people are here.

Palm trees.


Things about Peru that I will not miss:

The constant cat calling

The sweat that I form from the weather (even though I said I would miss it)

How expensive chocolate is here!

The milk. I really do not enjoy the milk here at all.

The cockroaches! Oh for the love of god the cockroaches!

Not having to hang my clothes outside to dry. I have something against hanging my clothes outside...I just feel like they don't get clean. Hahaha. My sister is the same way it's not just me!


And...that's all I can remember right now! I'll add more as they come up!
