Facts about Perù
- Peruvian drivers are worse than Israelis
- Food: if you are a vegetarian you can starve in Perù. It's possible to find some food, I'm not saying the contrary, but sometimes you just pass by a shop selling meat and suddenly you don't feel eating anything for the whole day.
- Fruits: I'm eating almost every day pineapple. They sell it already cut it in slices in the street for 1 soles (about 30 cents of dollar)
- People: the street are always invaded by thousands of people. Seems that no one works here, but the truth is that most of the people works on the street, selling fruits and vegetables, clothes, natural medicines, books etc.
- Peruvians love taking: I was stopped so many times by people that just wanted to have a conversation with someone. Nice and smiling people.
- Toilet paper: in hostels and in public toilets it's optional. Bring it always with you.
- Dogs: thousands of dogs live in the streets. Most of them are beautiful dogs that you would like to bring home. In Huanchaco there are many hairless dogs (biringo) , they are not really beautiful, but they are cute and have very old origins (pre-inca period)
- Pizza: Peruvians know better than Israelis
- Crossing the street can be very dangerous. I always cross when others cross.
- Collettivo (very cheap minivan) : it's very complicate to understand which one you have to take and you must shout your destination for a while before finding the right collettivo. But when you get in on the right one...What a satisfaction!
- Night bus: they are very comfortable and safe, they make you save one day of travel and the money for the hostel.
- Maté de coca: it's not that bad like I thought, but I'm not really sure it works.
- Inca cola: it's yellow, it doesn't remind at all the original coca cola, but it is produced by the coca cola itself.
- Language: 99% of Peruvians don't speak English at all, but fortunately they understand very well my ital-spagnolo
- Books: since two weeks I'm trying to buy a book to learn Spanish, but nada... Seems that no one needs to learn Spanish. So at the end I bought my first book in Spanish: Pablo Coelho , El alchimista.
