What I Dislike about Living in Peru

In the last post I shared what I liked about living in Iquitos, Peru.

Yes, there are some things that I dislike about living in Peru.

First, regardless of how long I live here...or the charity work I do...I will always be considered a "gringo"...a foreigner.

Second, NO one is punctual down here! If a person tells me he will meet me at eleven and doesn't arrive until noon or twelve thirty, he is considered "on time."

Third, crossing the street is taking your life into your own hands! The person driving a motorized vehicle believes he has the right of way. Of course, I find that when I return to Atlanta!

I will next discuss what a unique jungle town Iquitos is.
