City of demonstrations

by Sininen - last update: Dec 20, 2004

Inka demonstration
I was warned beforehand. All the travel guides warned about Lima and so did my friends so I was expecting to enter a city where I couldn't walk without being alert all the time and the locals trying to mug and rob me. Well, for me Lima was nothing like that. I felt safe there all the time, I wasn't cheated, I wasn't robbed, I wasn't mugged. I used common sense and didn't walk around with my camera in sight or pockets baggy with money. I was careful and nothing happened. Maybe I was just lucky. I wasn't too impressed by Lima in general, but it was better than I had expected. There were many interesting and beautiful places and people were very friendly and helpful. Maybe the fact that I speak some Spanish helped too. During my stay there I saw at least one demonstration every day, that's why the title of my page is City of Demonstrations.

 It was your blonde hair they were attracted to. The local men love blondes because there are hardly any blondes there in Perú.
