    • I had only been for a few hours in Lima, walked from my hotel to Plaza Mayor where I was soon surrounded by local vendors and money exchangers. I talked with them for awhile and then continued to Plaza Martin. There money exchangers asked me if I were from Finland! I don't think that Finland is the first country they think of when they see a blonde tourist, so I suspected that there is some kind of network amongst the vendors and money exchangers. I don't know how trustworth these money exchangers are, because I exchanged money only in the banks.

    • I am not if it was really a danger, but I found it quite annoying. I mean men staring at me, stopping whatever they were doing staring at me with their mouths open. I have never experienced anything like that before in my life. Muy bonita were the word which I heard continuously as I walked in Lima. :)
