I lived in Arequipa, Peru from September 2011 to November 2012. I taught English, practiced Muay Thai, and got really into learning Peruvian slang. I also visited Lima, Cuzco, Colca Canyon, and Playa Mollendo.
Johny Walter
Casi, casi. ‘Johny Walter’, a delicious whisky here in Perú, tastes oddly familiar to 'Johny Walker’.
So I’ve been sitting here for 10 minutes thinking how to justify this mistake and I’ve got nothing. There really is no excuse. It’d be like me writing 'Korona’ and not bothering to even once make sure my menu was correct before printing it. At this point, I just shake my head and realize that yes, this is Perú.
