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.
Local fire station here in Arequipa. I’m feeling safer already.
Arequipeña is the local beer here (see what they did with the name…tricky).
Feliz Día de la Madre desde Peru! I wish all those moms out there a relaxing and stress-free day as those close to you acknowledge all of your hard work.
After teaching an English class for 8 hours yesterday, I came to the realization that this is quite ineffective regardless of the fact that it might be the only class that works with some students schedule. Who are they kidding? 8 hours? I think San Pablo University should reevaluate the purpose of their English classes rather than cramming students into an absurdly long Saturday class because it’s convenient.
