Construction sites all around, Lima

Let aside the fact that we had chosen our appartment with a considerable criteria being the relative quietness of the area and that it's now completely ruined by the works around us, the current building boom in Lima is not coming to an end any time soon...

Winter's back in Lima

This morning was the chiliest night of the last 3 months and today (until about one hour ago) the skies have been covered until the middle of the afternoon, with a light but cold wind blowing from the ocean. This is winter in Lima! Now we're probably...

Little shakes in Ica

Since last year's earthquake, we've been *very* aware of, and awaken by the small shakes (you can't really call them earthquakes here, although you would in the old continent) felt in Lima. There's nothing much to say about them, except that it always...

Burnt down car

A couple of week ago, just at the end of the working day, an annoucement was heard from the office's loudspeaker: "Employees are advised not to leave the building, there is a burning car in the street by the entrance!". Well, that's not some small event!...

Almost losing my mobile phone... again!

Funny story... On Monday, coming back from a conference late at night, I took a taxi home. The driver started to freak me out about 5 minutes from home, by slowly falling asleep. I didn't get too worried at first, but then he seriously started to go from...

Crazy building season in Miraflores

This is starting to annoy me just a tad... ;-) We currently have 28°C in Lima, which considering the humidity level is *very* hard to feel comfortable with. I'm standing at my desk, trying not to move, I fear I might instantly start to sweat. On top of...

Summer sunsets

It's really summer now in Lima, the air is hot and humid and although it is sometimes overcast, the majority of days are sunny. At times, the garúa (sea fog) is very present though, and it's like walking in a cloud! The good thing about summer, apart...

Lima blue Lima

Last week, we had the bluest sunniest morning we had ever had in Lima. The skies were bright blue and the sun was shining strongly already at 8am. This is the view from our balcony... Can you see the Pacific Ocean? The church to the left of the conifer...

Movie day - Día del Ciné

Yesterday was "El Día Del Ciné" - "Movie Day" in Peru. That day, it cost only 3.50 soles to see a movie in the cinema. That's about 0.90 euros! The peruvian government organises a yearly Día del Ciné to encourage people to go to the cinema rather than...
