Ahh Peru. It was good to make it back there.
This year's journey to Peru was my second time visiting it. A friend of mine was born there and has family there. The first trip was with him and some other friends. We went to see Peru and enjoy ourselves. My friend went for a family wedding. This time I went to see my friend get married. Well... to see that and to get back to Peru.
Peru is a very cool country. The people are very nice. There is also some amazing landscapes in peru. Since its landmass is so spread out, it has a wide varity of land types. This was the first country outside of the US that I ever visited. Unfortunately the first thing I got to see when exiting the airport was a flock of taxi drivers. Basically 30 or 40 people asking to carry your luggage, or be your taxi driver.
"Take your bags sir?"
"Where you headed?"
"Cheapest taxi"
"taxi"
This was definately unexpected, but it wasn't really bad, and it beat my first trip to Leeds (England), where I was offered (within a matter of minutes of leaving my hotel) pot and a prostitute, and I was hit up for change by a bum in front of the guy selling the pot. All the taxis in an unorganized manner was just a little culture shock, more funny than annoying or scary.
If any of you have a chance to visit Peru, I highly recommend it.
