Didn't do it right, but back on the right track. Working in an institute teaching english again, also moved there, renting a room is a hell of a lot cheaper than paying a hostel on a daily basis ...
My current address is:
Rivero 403
Arequipa
Peru
Just tell Michel Montignac never to come here, as my menu of today, a standard lunch, consisted of a chupa - a soup with meat, pasta, potatoe and corn - and estofado de pollo - chicken stewed with potatoes and served with rice - as he would probably get a heart attack. This type of menu they sell at 2.50 soles so you understand that the amounts of meat and chicken are very small.
Life here is ok, not too hot, not too cold ... it's said though that right above Arequipa there is a hole in the ozon layer, so the sun burns very strong. If I'd had to choose between Salta and here to live for ther est of my life, I'd probably go back there though. Albeit just for the people.

Another suicide moment
How nice to be as stupid as I am ...
I've been having a tremenduous time lately, going out in a very regular basis, meeting up with other people all the time, ...
Also have been very lazy so far, and today is the last of my lazy days.
If I am not going to gear up finding a job, ... it will be all over pretty soon. Have been squandering my money, nice to have vacations no?
Little football thing as most of the world probably doesn't know shite about peruvian soccer ... Cienciano (Cusco) currently are one of the teams to beat in the Copa Libertadores ... last week, at high altitude at home, sent Boca Juniors (Buenos Aires)packing with a dry 3-0.
One of the most famous Peruvian internationals is Farfán, playing for PSV Eindhoven.
The -17 team has qualified for the worldcup.

Earthquake day
Hey, just survived a pretty decent earthquake here ...
Whilst having breakfast, at first I thought a train was passing by, then realised the railway is at the other side of town and people started off towards the door ... the girl from the hostel said - or rather cried - everyone outside, this is a serious quake, but by then it already began to subside. A little aftershock some 15 mins later ... would be of a strenght that happens about once a year ...
Also, it's semana santa, thursday and friday should be dry ... no alcohol to be sold, but apparently the only once punished are the bars, as people are getting more drunk than on other days drinking the pisco straight from the bottle in the streets.

Arequipa
OK, I am to stay here for a bit longer ...
Have started working as barman in a cocktailbar, just for 3 nights a week so will need to get something else.
Sorry for gaps getting long again ... will do my best to keep you posted.
The most difficult thing in the bar is not how to mix a mojito, caipirinha or pisco sour, but to know the differnt prices for the different customers.
cheers
