Well, maybe if you don't know anything about Peru, this doesn't look that good...so let me enlighten you.In Peru, there are three main types of beer (actually there is only one type of beer, but let me get to that later). The three types are Cusquena, Pilsen, and Cristal. All of these beers have a similar flavor, and the alcohol content is something over 5% which ishttp://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/11/12-pack-of-pilsen-callao.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RmNTHamKg-AAmmaooPxOwXAdzN8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RmNTHamKg-AAmmaooPxOwXAdzN8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RmNTHamKg-AAmmaooPxOwXAdzN8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RmNTHamKg-AAmmaooPxOwXAdzN8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-764989075390763661Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:11:00 +00002009-11-06T01:11:00.245-08:00 Isn't it funny how you can snap an image and although it's not the "actual" moment of your travels, the image is a functional representative of your journeys?

Why October 28th? Well, it's because one year ago on October 28th 2008, I wrote an article called Cheap of Medication in Peru which was, as I see it, the first article to begin to suggest the kind of superior content that you would come to expect from this page which has become...not so much a web page...as http://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/october-28th-streets-of-limas-official.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)2 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QxHB2lq9FSEjNRktcfL4dS-AUzU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QxHB2lq9FSEjNRktcfL4dS-AUzU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QxHB2lq9FSEjNRktcfL4dS-AUzU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QxHB2lq9FSEjNRktcfL4dS-AUzU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-8589583365568383644Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +00002009-10-27T01:11:00.862-07:00Blue ManSo I was innocently walking along with my friend Tim down Calle Larco and we came across this Blue man. It's kind of hard to tell from the above photo, but this guy was head to toe frickin' blue. Sure, I wanted to slow down and get a good photo of him, but seriously, when you see a frickin' BLUE man walking around the streets, you don't go up to him and ask if he'll pose for a picture.Just http://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/blue-man-on-calle-larco-lima-peru.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)3 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/T19RSMfg5Fzob8rnw1bA8GztAwM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/T19RSMfg5Fzob8rnw1bA8GztAwM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/T19RSMfg5Fzob8rnw1bA8GztAwM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/T19RSMfg5Fzob8rnw1bA8GztAwM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-7481377934786939009Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +00002009-10-26T01:11:14.963-07:00Car AlarmsThis is another of the great things about Lima. You are happilly sitting at Haiti or somewhere, enjoying some coffee and good conversation, when all of a sudden, out of the blue, you are hit but the annoying wail of some super irritating car alarm."GNNNEEE--GNNNEEE--GNNNEEE--WOOOOO, UUUUHHH--WOOOOO, UUUUHHH--WOOOOO, UUUUHHH--EEEEEE, OOOOOH--EEEEEE, OOOOOH--EEEEEE,OOOOOOH"ARGHHHHH!They are such anhttp://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/sweet-music-of-peruvian-car-alarms.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)3 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o74P_IK6vXHh6Bk8t7x4V_NLKvc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o74P_IK6vXHh6Bk8t7x4V_NLKvc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o74P_IK6vXHh6Bk8t7x4V_NLKvc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/o74P_IK6vXHh6Bk8t7x4V_NLKvc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-6914831456855593628Sun, 25 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +00002009-10-25T01:11:00.189-07:00This post is a further response to the idiot named Gonzalo who made a comment on my "An Idol to Masculinity" post stating that "he [was] Peruvian and didn't know what the hell Chacarilla [was]."

The place is called Buffalo Mania, and you can check out their facebook page here (Facebook is apparently the only advertising they do...a testament to the power of that site I suppose).Since it is my duty http://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/buffalo-mania-solution-to-limas-chicken.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zYPA8oRqvkFSr6xYrczliTd6L40/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zYPA8oRqvkFSr6xYrczliTd6L40/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zYPA8oRqvkFSr6xYrczliTd6L40/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zYPA8oRqvkFSr6xYrczliTd6L40/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-4904449175249667723Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +00002009-10-23T01:11:00.691-07:00HootersYup, that bad and blurry picture is of a plate of chicken wings taken at the Hooters restaurant in Lima, Peru. Now, I've long heard that the Hooters in Lima is amongst the worst in the world and after visiting it, I have to agree. However, WHY the Lima's Hooters is so bad is no reflection on Peru, it's people, or more appropriately in this case at least...it's ladies.The reason I think Lima's http://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/hooters-in-lima-peru.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)3 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TUwWhJdaPvRZwHPPbmMlFjZvBv4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TUwWhJdaPvRZwHPPbmMlFjZvBv4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TUwWhJdaPvRZwHPPbmMlFjZvBv4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TUwWhJdaPvRZwHPPbmMlFjZvBv4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-2421428456480191057Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +00002009-10-22T01:11:00.458-07:00Peruvian TVSooner or later I had to say it, Peruvian TV kicks ass! There are two or three channels that are guaranteed to have something awesome on all the time, and these aren't even the Premium channels! I actually remember when AXN got launched here in Peru to give us a neverending stream of classics like "Terminator 3," "Gladiator," "The Day After Tomorrow," and other films like that.At first glance, http://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/peruvian-tv-kicks-ass.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)1 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lvfL8J1f-njU4aeFzX1wvygvaNA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lvfL8J1f-njU4aeFzX1wvygvaNA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lvfL8J1f-njU4aeFzX1wvygvaNA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/lvfL8J1f-njU4aeFzX1wvygvaNA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724120345866723496.post-7385190088679882604Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +00002009-10-21T01:11:00.716-07:00Check this out! Faith No More, that miraculous wondergroup from the 90's is coming to Lima! This sucks for me because I'm not going to BE in Lima for this concert and I would have LOVED to go and see it. Well, somebody I know here in Lima is going to have to go to tuentrada.com and get at ticket for this October 27th spectacular so that they can send me a bunch of photos and a show review (http://streetsofperu.blogspot.com/2009/10/faith-no-more-comes-to-lima.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ben Jonjak)0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/llKZwtCJMzJdpexMW56b6PNmJys/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/llKZwtCJMzJdpexMW56b6PNmJys/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/llKZwtCJMzJdpexMW56b6PNmJys/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/llKZwtCJMzJdpexMW56b6PNmJys/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>
