Limean traffic: smart businesses

In order to drive in Lima, it is necessary to have an incredible skills. As I heard from a foreigner here: "driving in Lima is like playing a videogame and you just jump among obstacles". For this reason, a Peruvian company did not think it twice and they created the Peruvian version of Crazy Taxi called Crazy Combi.

Face to taxi drivers who raise their tariffs due to the annoying traffic, the police that cannot fight properly with the traffic but they make it worse or streets closed due to inexplicable works whose inaugurations continue being delayed. Simply, this is the current scene of Lima, nor during rush hour but all day long. Well, Lima does not count with a proper public transportation as major cities have.

Beyond these problems and the positive about this, if you are a car driver you can find great offer deals in some major streets in Lima, from puzzles and coloring books to your children, cell chargers and cell cases, and just entertainment if you are searching for fun during waiting times. I am bringing some pics about my journey:

Lima is safe thanks to this guy

If you could not read the news at home, 

this guys has the lastest ones

Circus is near than you think

Summer is really near, so this guy sells refreshing jellies

Dear readers, we cannot deal against the traffic as Mahomet must go to the mountain, but if you buy something, you might contribute to Peru's GDP.

A cold remedy that made me feel better

During winter season, the lowest Limean temperature can reach 55°F (13°C). It is not so cold compares to other cities such as Vermont or Vancouver. But our major problem is not the coldness itself, it is the humidity that can reach 99%.

Well, the other day I was talking with some friends about cold remedies and I was explaining my experience with pills and cough syrup in order to feel better. The results were extremely bad and I was not getting better. At this point, my friend M brought to me this "cold remedy", well known in the city of Tarapoto but unknown in Lima:

 Antigripal in Spanish means cold remedy

After that, I tried a little bit and I felt much better.

Dear reader, if you have cold, ask your doctor for advice but if you really like naturistic remedies, try it!.

Peruvian creativity

Despite the global economic crisis, the construction industry in Peru maintains its growth rate and dynamisn into the market. Sadly, many others cannot enjoy the dream of own house.

The sign next to the dummy says "Sell" 


One day, walking around home I found this building. At first sight, it is not about a desperate person who is trying to sell that apartment. Some real estate agents use this creative campaign to obtain clients.


I was drawn to that dummy because it was the first time I saw it without trousers and it gave me the impression of being a woman.


In Lima, for the record, dummies are not clothing-related exclusive feature.
