Hi,

Living in a foreign country implies to discover its culture, to learn and master the cultural codes.

How did you deal with that? Share with us your culture shock stories where you experienced a funny or awkward moment in Peru.

Thank you in advance for sharing your stories,

There was an article very recently in the local paper here in peru.

In a nutshell, it said,聽 (Peru) economically we grow: but we are still a very fractured society and there is little sense of a shared community and we quickly take battle positions with each at the first sign of conflict. We have not tended our nation with sufficient care聽 to enable a shared fabric to exist.

A lot of the cultural experiences that you will have in Peru will be informed by that observation of a peruvian journalist.
in 2015.

but as a gringo you can experience a genuine warmth and a sharp sense of humour on a daily basis.
