Esto Es Perú: September 2014
http://thisisperutip.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. The Post Office Affair. I brought my papers ready to pick up my package. I was told that I was missing the letter from me that also needed to be notarized. Off I went to do that. I made two copies of my carnet and had my receipt in hand. I got to the customs window to open the package and the man who was attending me told me I would have to pay 38 dollars in taxes because the package was valued at 250 dollars. WHAT? With copies of my passport, my entry and exit stamps and al...

Esto Es Perú: June 2014
http://thisisperutip.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 12, 2014. We were on TV! Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Bartola, a well-known criolla singer here in Peru. She has a show on Chanel 7 (TV Peru) called Una y Mil Voces. And it features criolla singers and bands. Since Coro Arpegio has a criolla repertoire, we were invited to sing on the show. What an honor! A quick side-story. A few days after the show aired, my downstairs neighbor´s daughter who has to be 7 or 8 years old, yelled out of the window ¨Tia! Te vi en la tele! One o...

Esto Es Perú: Seen in Starbucks in San Isidro
http://thisisperutip.blogspot.com/2014/11/seen-in-starbucks-in-san-isidro.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Seen in Starbucks in San Isidro. I also say this in the newspaper when I sat down to drink my tea. Both Steve Carrell and Jennifer Garner are Denison University alums. Yeah Denison pride! It made me smile. I have yet to see the movie but I have heard good things. I loved Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day. When I was younger. I think the translation is pretty fun to say. Alexander y un Día Terrible, Horrible, Malo, muy Malo. View my complete profile.

Esto Es Perú: Pumpkin Pie in a Cup!

Thursday, November 27, 2014. Pumpkin Pie in a Cup! My wonderful friend Julie gave me the best Thanksgiving/Birthday/early Christmas present ever. You can actually find American pumpkin here in Peru and make a pumpkin pie from scratch but they are not common at all. What a great taste of home! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Esto Es Perú: Ley Seca (Dry Law)
http://thisisperutip.blogspot.com/2014/10/ley-seca-dry-law.html
Sunday, October 5, 2014. Ley Seca (Dry Law). It's that time of year again when the toilet paper gets piled up in front of the liquor section in Metro due to dry law. Whenever there are elections, everyone is prohibited from selling liquor during the weekend of said elections. Dry law is hilarious to me. No one is supposed to sell alcohol during the weekend of elections. Has no one learned from the United States' attempt to prohibit alcohol? October 5, 2014 at 7:30 PM. October 6, 2014 at 5:52 AM. This blo...

Monday, May 26, 2014. Eating Out with Friends. Some of my kindergarten colleagues. I also had the pleasure of eating chinese food with my colleagues last Friday for lunch. The director of the school takes all of the staff and teachers out to lunch once a year to celebrate everyone's birthday. It is a great way to do it and it was so delicious! I stuffed my face with orange chicken and fried wantan. I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Here is the recipe a la Mama Chamberlin:.

Friday, July 18, 2014. Te de Señoras 2014. I have to write about the te de señoras and the dinner for material de guerra that happened last week. It has been a month full of celebrations and I have to make sure to get them all written down! The best one is to come with a great celebration in Asheville North Carolina in which two wonderful people are going to get married! Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Happy Belated Teachers´ Day! When I got to work on July 4th, I was greeted by Mariale, our social worker....

Esto Es Perú: December 2013
http://thisisperutip.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 30, 2013. 2013 Year in Review. We traveled cross-country in a 14 year old Volkswagon Polo from Cusco to Lima. I came to terms with my foreseeable future living in Peru. I lost and regained my identity and realized that it is something that is forever changing depending on what I do and who I am with. We are not nouns (teacher, traveler, student, etc.) we are verbs. We are what we do. I read, I sing, I play violin, I love, I laugh, I teach. I found a yoga class close to my home. I auditio...

Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Tuesday Tunes: A Feeling. I decided to take the bus home and on my way I got off and bought some Mexican food from a place in Miraflores called Orale mi Cuate. I bought morena's which have meat cheese and pineapple wrapped in two corn torillas. Mmmm Mexican food. That made me feel a bit better. Monday, January 27, 2014. 24 Things Challenge completed. 8th: pair of old shoes. 9th: old alpaca sweater. 0th: cloth bag that I never use. 11th: Some English worksheets that I don't need.

Esto Es Perú: Dia Villamariano
http://thisisperutip.blogspot.com/2014/10/dia-villamariano.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. What I really lucked out with was the Gran Rifa. Marco bought 5 tickets and I bought 1 and out of the thousands that were purchased, one of our tickets was chosen for the dinner for 6 at a Chinese restaurant prize. How cool is that? There were some fantastic prizes including the grand prize of having a years scholarship to the school. There were a couple of Scotiabank 1,000 USD and 1,500 USD bank credits too. Setting up by pulling legs apart. October 27, 2014 at 3:24 PM. Simple ...
