The Thrill of Archaeology - Northern Peru!
May 18, 2008 - Trujillo, Peru
So, more exciting adventures happened this past weekend, beginning Wedesday. 9 of us, including Rosa, our Peruvian friend, got on Cruz del Sur from Lima to Chiclayo, a 12+ hour bus ride.

"Ey Neger"
January 22, 2008 - Trujillo, Peru
Diese Aussage koennte man vergleichgleichsweise bei uns in Deutschland hoeren, wenn ein Auslaender ueber die Strasse laeuft. Mir ist es jetzt schon einige Male passiert, dass mir auf offener Strasse (z.T. aus dem Auto raus) "GRINGA" zugerufen wurde. Das ist eine beleidigende und diskriminierende Aussage Auslaendern (vor allem Hellhaeutigen)...
