Went and saw this clown last night. Worth it. It’s nice to be back in the States and finally hear some sarcastic humor. Sarcasm, from my experiences, isn’t too prevalent in Spanish.
Origins
NOPE
Dad: Here, try this, it's raw fish called 'Sushi'
5 year old (yelling): WHAT?! Never in my life will I eat that!!!
hahaha I heard this while at work the other day. I respect a 5 year old with conviction.
One of these dogs is retarded. Take a guess. Sprayed my man Gus with water and I guess face planting was the natural reaction.
Peru, you never seem to disappoint. And who is this ‘Deivy’ character?
I wrote an article for ITA for a writing contest, didn’t win, but they published it anyway. I think they publish all the losers so I wasn’t overenthusiastic about it, but stoked nonetheless.
The Pacific Northwest is like band camp with booze and dirty hookups every single day… in other words, just like regular band camp but with much more territory to cover and many more individuals to molest. If you wanna really YOLO, crawl into a tent filled with people who have not only fucked both genders but have been both genders and see how many pegs end up in a square hole.
So when I was in Ollantaytambo, I ordered chips and guacamole and this is what I got. Close…
Some new friends I made in Cuzco. What’s up Ladies?!?!
Even if they were going for ‘God’, I don’t think it translated well.
I leave for Cuzco at 7am tomorrow morning, thus ending my stay in Arequipa. As I think about these past 13 months, it’s been quite a whirlwind of an adventure. People have come and gone, bars have changed, buildings have been constructed and destroyed, but yet Arequipa will always be the great city that I have come to love during my stay.
The plan is as follows: Cuzco for a week or so, States for 3 months, then moving to China May 20th. I’ll keep the blog going and certainly try to keep things interesting, although after leaving Peru, I’m sure to lose a lot of good material. However, there will be plenty of pictures from Cuzco, including my ‘oh-so-touristy’ foto of me with Machu Picchu in the background. Get excited Tumblr.
Wait wait wait…
Oh hello there,
It’s your last night in Arequipa and you want to go out?
How nice, here’s a never ending rainstorm and yes, we’re aware that there are no street drains, so the streets will turn into rivers. But seriously, have a good time
Sincerely,
Arequipan Weather

Loud and proud
This is called: Covering your bases
Differences…
There’s a 6’5 chubby Colombian guy in my Muay Thai class and our trainer was asking him what he thought about Peruvian girls vs. Colombian girls. Right off the bat, he said Peruvian girls were stuck up. He also said that right now in Colombia, it’s around 35C and in Peru, it’s 16C. Because of this, he said that going to Peruvian clubs, girls are wearing layers upon layers of clothes and he’s bored because there’s nothing to look at. But in Colombia: (At this point, he then pretended to walk like a Colombian girl) “They wear mini skirts and a tiny bra, boom, ready for the club”. hahaha this kid had everyone cracking up
