Lima part two *brought to you by Coca tea*

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

You know that Goo Goo Dolls song Iris where it goes ¨and you bleed just to know your alive¨and it´s from some movie with Nicholas Cage. Well. in Lima, the taxis beep just to let you know that they´re right behind you and available.
Last night i went out for a few drinks with 3 American girls from Florida who are also at my hostel. Lima wasn´t that hoppin´, but there were lots of places that were open, just not full in any sense of the word. but we found a good one and had some Cervezas. An Australian guy (or so he said) came and said hello and claimed he was from Manly. He didn´t sound very Australian, but i am inclined in some ways to believe him as there seems to be an Australian everywhere i go, though they are far outnumbered by Americans. We then went to a pirate themed bar for a while. I learnt some strange American customs that I will have to share upon my return. [read on]

HOLA!!
I{m going to try to check the spelling before i send this one out, but it may be to no avail as I don{t understand exactly how to use this keyboard.
I{ll try to get all the happenings of the last couple of days in.
So, later that day in LA, after I updated, I decided to go and see a movie to pass the time. The two options were basically Pirates of the Carribean 3 or Ocean{s 13, I decided on Ocean{s 13 at Grauman{s chinese theatre (were they have the hand and feet imprints of movie stars, I took a picture of Brad Pitt{s for Siobhan). The movie was good, and it passed the time.
I also went into the Virgin Megastore nextdoor to do more passing of time. There was a whole lot of cool music and books. I almost bought a CD or two (Rodreigo and Gabriela and the Willowz) before I snapped out of it and remembered that I was travelling for 8 months with no CD player and I was returning to LA at the end. I also found out (and was greatly saddened by the fact that) Enrique Iglasis was doing an instore performance and signing the next day, when I was in transit. But I was strong and pulled myself away.
