Because there seems to be a bare minimum of activity here within the last couple of months (in the English section, that is), and I'd love to read more recent stuff.
RT here.
That's because of the dozens (hundreds) of guys that come here, read up, post questions, and send PMs/emails asking for advice and then don't give back what was freely given to them by posting their experiences. If 10% of the guys that wrote me privately posted, there would be a flurry of activity on the English side of the board. Not to mention the thousands of hits (without follow-up questions) that our posts get. I hope that you become one of the 10% who contribute.
All of the info here is great, but from what I can tell, things are changing fast economically in Lima, and a lt of these numbers and stats no longer apply.
Not all that much. Prices have gone up somewhat, but not enough to cause any sticker shock day by day, except for the girls in Tequila Rock who all insanely belive that their time (however short) is now worth US$100. Also, hotels used to be insanely cheap; now they're just cheap.
Can anyone recommend another forum/site similar to this one?
By policy, we don't send people to other boards from here. The owner of this board runs this as his business, and as such, doesn't recommend the store next door.
That being said, yes, there are other sites dedicated to mongering throughout the world. Some of them have sections that cover Peru, and some are more active than our English section; some have less activity.
One observation: If you are planning to spend three months in Lima without Spanish skills, you're going to have a rotten time. If you can speak spanish, check out the rest of this site. There is a wealth of information here -- enough to last two lifetimes.
, on the upper right corner of the post you want to report.
