Ayacucho, Day 7
Last full day here!
Thursday 21 September 2006
23 °C
Some observations:
1) Peruvians are generally shorter than Canadians.
2a) Tea is served as such: one mug of hot water, with a tea bag and sugar on the side.
2b) I accidentally ordered coffee yesterday, and it was served as one hot mug of milk, with a strong shot of coffee and sugar on the side.
3) In casual restaurants/diners/cafes, you pay at the front counter, not at your table.
4) The water, if you ween yourself onto it bit by bit, isn`t quite as bad as guidebooks make it out to be. (I´ve been eating fresh lettuce and juice with water added and haven`t had any problems.)
5) Don`t approach someone with a question etc without first offering a polite `Buenas días` or other appropriate greeting.
6) I am living my dreams whereas some people are too afraid to do so.
P.S. To find my pictures, click on ´Photography´(on the left menu) and do a search for ´The Cat´. That seems to be the easiest way.
