Dear all, Thanks for all your blessing. The bag came back one day later. Nothing is missed. It was such a joy to have it back. It must be your bless.....(good that the money i hided in my sneaker is still there).
These two days, I didnt do too much. I thought I would hook up with more friends in Lima since I stayed in the female dorm (6 beds), but guess what....I am the only one in the room. Yes, there are two girls who stayed but they came in during mid-night and disappeared when I came back. I asked few guys the reason why and apparently they either took night bus or night flight...so not much fun at the moment.
I stayed in Miraflores district, which is richer and neatter. It is quite prosperous and you could see McDonald/KFC/many banks everywhere just like any big cities. The price level is just about Taiwan's. (Like South East Asia, juice/beer is extremely cheap. But main food isn't necessary the case.) Only when you are out of the areas, you feel the provery a bit through their houses and cars. Not as dangerous as I imaged. Cops are everywhere in Miraflores.
My assignment of two days in Lima is to fix my visa to Bolivia. I was lucky to meet a british who knows Spanish and helped me and his American friend to ask for application. I would need to get into the office again to test the luck today.
(Jess and Mei: this is for you. You would need to have in-and-out ticket, hotel booking, yellow fever proof, and the form. This is tough cuz I dont want to buy air ticket...I might take bus so I wrote an itinerary. If failed today, I will try in Puno again. But, this is for your information.
By the way, Spanish is quite critical. I was lucky to have someone understood Spanish to help me out. Otherwise, it's quite tough. So, get a phrase book, girls.)
Anyway, guys, just want to say....thanks for the blessing. Bag is with me.
Am heading to Cuzco for Machiu Pichu today. Hopefully the altitude dissease wont cause too much trouble to me and could hook up with more friends.
Chiao....
