First Impressions (18 Enero 2011)

                                  My first site of the outskirts of Lima, welcome to South America!

Lima
New sites, sounds, tastes
Rich and poor, tooting, construction
Cebiche, potatoes, pollo*                                                          *chicken
Immaculate women and women with high cholesterol
Too much pollo y papas fritas**                                                **Fried potato
Machismo men stare at you
Like you're a piece of meat
Being ripped off
And bargains you're ashamed of
American music and all other kinds
Taxis with crosses
Taxis who drop you off in the wrong place
For entertainment
Diarrhoea, constipation
Running late for everything
Nothing sleeps
You struggle to sleep
As the outside world
And a flood of Spanish words
Crowd your thoughts
And you struggle to find direction
Welcome to the New World
