- The Spanish word for "plunger" is embolo. A very useful word indeed.
- Peruvian taxi drivers are very closely related to fruit bats. Similar methods of navigation are used, I think.
- Do not make Sendero Luminoso jokes. This is just plain stupid and insensitive.
- Singing karaoke with a live band in Peru may generate an audience of 300 or so people.
- Singing Sublime's "What I Got" may thin the crowd somewhat.
- Singing "My Way" with a Peruvian dude at 4am will definitely empty the seats.
- If your wife is a Cubana, do not piss her off , she may take the car and leave you with a slightly inebriated American guy.
- Vendors selling fresh paltas (jungle avocados) y choclo con queso (roasted giant corn with cheese) are my new heroes. Hope I can find some guys in DC - 16th St. maybe?
- The signs at the airport in Lima telling you not to sell your children are there for a reason!
- My name has changed once again, to "blanquito"

Joking about the Shining Path? That must have gone over well. Although between that and the late-night karaoke, I think I'll go with the jokes. Angry cubanas, eh?
I've heard that angry colombianas are even worse, but of course I wouldn't know that from my own experience...
