live and learn.

i'm living in lima.
and i'm learning a few things.

>>if a movie is still in theatres and you buy a copy of it in the black market, you are pretty much guaranteed to get a crappy version of someone sitting in the theatre filming it.

>>shakira's songs are way too catchy.

>>there is a section of the center of lima where you can buy puppies for pretty cheap.

>>either i'm smarter than i thought i was, or i'm getting some major gringo points on these assignments. (by the way, gringo points = when the professor has sympathy that you're a gringo and are taking classes in a language that is not your native tongue and therefore goes easy when grading assignments. maybe it's discriminatory, but it sure is appreciated.)

>>having chocolate in my room is a bad idea. (a delicious idea, but a very bad one.)

>>the field of linguistics still has not come to an agreement of what language is. a topic which seems pretty essential to define.

>>when crossing a large street, make sure you have enough time to make it all the way across before the light changes.

>>things aren't usually black or white. there is a whole lot of mixed gray area.

>>it's hard for me to get into the christmas spirit when it's warm enough to start wearing flip-flops.

>>there are no tropical storms (like hurricanes or things like that) that damage the city of lima because of the andes mountains.

>>when you log into the pucp website and click on a professor's name to send them an email, you're actually sending an email to the entire class.

>>i like pumpkin pie.
