My Daily Life in Peru and Random International Living Pensamientos (thoughts)

 

In this post, I’ll answer another question and give you some of my random thoughts about “living ish” in another country.

The other question that I’ve been getting is what do you do all day. That’s changed somewhat over the past week as I enrolled in an online Spanish class but overall it’s been about the same.

8ish: wakeup and walk around the corner to get fresh bread.

8:30ish: cook a couple eggs, eat with an avocado, with aforementioned  fresh bread (yes I brought seasoning salt)

9ish: I study Spanish (it was Spanish with Paul but recently I started an online class) until about 11 or so.

12:30: I’ll decide I’m hungry enough for lunch and go out in search of a “menu” (most restaurants have “menu of the day” basically 3 or 4 things that they cook and offer for lunch)

2: I’ll do private Spanish lessons for two hours.

5ish: for the next couple of hours, I’ll walk around/halfway explore a new area/try to take care of anything I need/want to do.

8ish- I’ll get a snack/watch TV/talk with the roomies until I get sleepy. Curfew is at 9 so that really puts a damper on what one can do.

SO pretty chill life which is just how I like it.

Part 2: Things that people told me about that I didn’t think about/appreciate.

1. Fresh Bread… It’s amazing and yes it goes bad in a day or two but it’s HELLA good and if I’m not mistaken the majority of the world eats like this.

2. "Organic/Ugly Fruit” For the most part everything you eat here from the local markets is “organic” because they can’t afford to farm with hella pesticides. It’s a privilege to be able to manipulate crops.

3. Living on your own... (not with parents or a significant other) is not the norm. The overwhelming majority of people here live in co-habiting situations, whether that’s with parents, or with a partner. I imagine it’s this way in most of the world and the US and Canada are the exceptions and not the rule.

That’s all for this post.

Decision: I’ve decided to travel to a different place every weekend just to check it out. Peru is a BEAUTIFUL country with lots of different landscapes so why not check it out!
