Ok, Lima's not as lame as it seems to be... I was wrong...

Watched Juve vs Real on espn… Y stupid Us forever not showing soccer? Just cos it aint so gd at it, dxn mean tt it shd make it so hard fer ppl in US to watch soccer. I’m sure that there are definitely many ppl who like soccer in US too… Glad tt juve won in e end, just to make up fer Barca not qualifying… Sianz… Pray tt Liverpool wun screw up again, n hope they can play well…

Xferred to Lima early in e morning… Was beginning to be sick of Lima (even though I;ve only been there fer 1 day), but I’m beginning to find tt there aren’t much stuff to do there… Hiyohz… The only thing we can do, is walk down tt busy street to the Larco Mar where all the nice restaurants are n eat a gd meal… did it twice already, a third time would seem kindaf lame fer me… Considering tt we’re planning to do tt fer e night… 4 times really dxn seem gd… Went to wander in another street n finally, found this shopping centre…. Or rather, departmental store… Wah, finally, a place with nice air con n with more stuff to buy than simply shoes, ice-creams, etc… the prices are really quite nice fer quality items… Seems like a typical Sg store on sale… but at least, it beats walking down a familiar street to a familiar place…

Had a city tour of the place in e afternoon… Really enjoyed it a lot… Went around the whole city n different districts, looking at the different parts of peru, all e different cultures there existed… Find the archeological museum the most exciting, I mean, the guide gave us a really really good insight into the history of Peru, how the different tribes became dominant in different eras, what are their practices and stuff like that… Saw carved stones dating back to 1000 years b4 Christ… or even older… Nv tot peru is so deep into culture, I’m truly impressed… N guess what, I saw a Mummy! Its like a piece of skeleton wrapped by a thin cloth, nothing like those Egyptian mummies at all… Its more like a dried corpse with a piece of cloth over it… Omg… I cant believe it myself tt I’m actually looking at one… We went on to see many amazing stuff… Like how the doctors of the past used gold to full up holes in the skulls of soldiers, and some actually survived! N how the ancient people used to carve delicate sculptures on drinking instruments… The pictures are really wonderful, a pity I couldn’t take them down… Had a really enjoyable time at the museum, learning all about the rich culture which peru holds… Finally, i'm beginnning to get what i wanted to see when i came... Peru wif its history n culture, n not any old undeveloped place which is trying to pull off its tourism industry...

A week b4 I came, Peru just seems to be a backward, undeveloped South American country, a typical view I hold towards south America… But now, I’m really glad I got to know the culture and history behind Peru n South America… Its been a really enjoyable trip… Was feeling kindaf sad tt I had to go back to old Pittsburgh, after having got used to life there… All the panting after the slightest exertion due to the thin air in cusco… All the bargaining and haggling of prices… All the grilled and bbq-ed food at good prices… All the fruits there which I cant find in Pitt… All the attempts to communicate what I meant to the ppl there who dun understand eng… All the…
