MozCation In Lima And SEO In General In Peru
As I have been in Lima the last couple of weeks, I of course couldn’t avoid signing up for MozCation Lima (Twitter) when I saw they where having the event here. It lead to an interesting evening with a bit of networking, and even “a secret trick” from Rand Fishkin I didn’t knew about before. [...]
Peru vs Chile: Differences and Similarities In The Culture
After living in Santiago almost two months, I am starting to sense more of the big differences as well as similarities on the two countries – Peru vs. Chile – Santiago vs. Lima. Yesterday I was attending the Mapocho Valley meetup, and I had a very interesting and honest conversation with one of the Chileans, [...]
Don’t Like My Country? Get Out!
Living a couple of years in Lima will give most people a true love/hate relationship with both the city and the country. But trying to criticizes the country, culture or people in general will often be met by comments like “go back to your own country!”. Here is another generalization about Peruvians: they prefer to [...]
Adios Peru – Hola Chile!
Almost 1 year ago, I took a crazy decision while travelling through Lima about living in Peru. The plan was to take at least a year in Lima, and as it is possible to see from my earlier post, I was quite excited about staying in Lima in the beginning. A few weeks ago I [...]
Lock Your Doors! Paranoia in Peru
This is another “fun fact” about Peru; the general paranoia. Maybe there is really something about it, but the Peruvians in general do not trust anyone – besides their own family. The trust in other people simply does not exist; and it makes an evil spiral, because it then is really rare you can trust [...]
Dont drink and vote!
On Sunday the Peruvians will vote for the local mayors of their districts and regions, it its strikes me a bit funny, that not only do they get fined if the don’t vote, but they are also not allowed to drink all weekend. Apparently the government has so little trust in its citizens, that they [...]
Looking Back at 2009: Being Soldier, Backpacker, Expatriate, Business Owner and Dreamer
This post is about how everything changed for me in 2009, and changed my life 180 degrees once again. Starting 2009 I just wanted to travel for half a year, and then go back to the army – never in my wildest dreams did I plan to stay in South America, let alone Peru.
Ordering food online in Lima – Just-Eat in Peru?
One of the blogs I follow is Rune Risdom, a Dane who also writes about his work with Just-Eat, where you can order food online. His latest post about how they expand with their own delivery service, so small restaurants like Sushi-places are able to get delivery too, made me think about how much I [...]
Swine flu in Peru – bringing the iFlu to Denmark
The swine flu is still a big topic, especially here in South America. I read recently that Mexico City should be back to normal, and have called the big alarm off, but medias still keep writing about cases of swine flu here in Peru.
