I think we may have to start two different topic categories, though. We need one for the Expats who've immigrated and one for our visitors from abroad. I moved to Lima from the USA in April of 2009.

I am peruvian, and I feel that Peru is often advertised to tourists as a glamourous place, and though it is, it also has it's problems that tourists succeed in ignoring. Thank-you for writing this.

But of course the rhetoric was also intentional, as you can clearly see I am in a bad mood at this point of writing. I fully intended to paint an ugly mask on this city, which in certain ways deserves it, but as i mention earlier I plan to follow it up in another article describing its intrinsic beauty, which exists in some of it architecture, pre-Inca influences and most of all its people.

There's plenty of squalor elsewhere in S. America. I think “armpit” was a geographical reference – but since the author was broke, it’s understandable for her to notice the ugly bits of Lima.

But I got homesick for Matador and here I am. As always, an absolute pleasure to read the travel stories.

You are a true traveler; most Americans don't realize how well-off they are. Hang in there and keep writing. Excellent, descriptive writing!
