I think that the way I saw Lima in my head before was a bustling metropolis with chic shops and diverse people. Now, some parts of Lima are like that, but in Salamanca, most people have dark hair, dark eyes, and darker skin! I stand out like a sore thumb here! I get so many stares and looks! It's uncomfortable sometimes, and sometimes the guys will whistle or say "Hello Baby." I've learned quickly to just ignore it. Lima is just so much different then the small town I come from! It's way more dirty then I thought and the homes are tiny! I love the city despite it's flaws! The fact that you can buy bottled water for 1 sol, like 30 cents, is awesome! The market filled with fresh fruit is my favorite though! Oranges are so cheap here tha in order to spend a dollar, you have to buy a huge bag! It's great!
