Day 49: Almost 50 Days in Likes vs. Dislikes

Likes:

  1. Popcorn that looks like packaging peanuts. Sometimes, most of the time, you eat 10 to find one good one. Its worth it.
  2. Everything you need is at 20ft. intervals on the street ie. chocolate, yogurt, nailclippers, drugs etc.
  3. The fresh juice and empanadas also on every corner. Although we can´t actually drink the juice.
  4. Llamas.
  5. People LOVE to dance here. All the time.
  6. 80´s Kareoke Bars that have middle aged men singing their hearts out to Shakira and light up floors like the Michael Jackson music video.
  7. Helado, helado, heladitos!!!! Icecream/frozen yogurt machines EVERYWHERE!
  8. $2 Lunches or Almuerzos
  9. Free T-Shirts.
  10. Mojitos, although they could be considered diabetes inducing.
  11. Peruvian flute bands, especially when they hop around with 4 ft. flutes.
  12. Every store is a dollar store but has nice things.
  13. The food. There is a lot of it. They like to eat.
  14. Internet cafes are easy to find.
Dislikes:
  1. Lack of toilet seats and toilet paper.
  2. Sometimes you have to pay to use the bathroom.
  3. Bathrooms in general.
  4. Close calls at ´pedestrian crossing.´ We´re tired of almost being hit every time we cross the street.
  5. People who laugh at you when they think you can´t speak Spanish, but you can.
  6. Sharing a room with 10 people and several drunk girls and boys confuse your bed for their living space.
  7. Re: Likes #2: You can´t find anything you need when you neeeeed it specifically.
  8. Being overcharged because you have blue eyes, except we´re almost used to it.
  9. Instant coffee when you know they export the good stuff.
  10. Waiting a ridiculously long time for your drink/food; over 45 minutes. (This doesn´t happen all the time, only when Dana is really hungry.)
  11. Having to calculate kilometers to miles to feet.
  12. Most internet cafes, although everywhere, rarely have equipment that works.
  13. No spell check on the computers, hence the mispellings in our blogs
  14. Can´t breathe and dry skin
