I had wanted to write about every single day that I'm here in Lima, just to capture the moments and memories of my first work trip. As it turned out, there were just so much things to do here (work and non-work)... I just let myself immerse in the hectic schedule and all the fascinating things I was seeing.
I will be boarding the flight home in a few hours' time. What can I say about this country/city that I've never dreamt of visiting, and perhaps would not come back again (at least not in the near future cos it's so far away from home)?
I seriously love this country, and that is because every Peruvian I've met was warm, sincere, helpful and kind. From the event staff right down to the average taxi driver, everyone was so eager to provide that personal touch to make your day. Language was a barrier, but they went out of their way to assist and communicate. It is this genuine interest in knowing about you, your country and your needs that made the trip absolutely fantastic. The fact that our LO was a really nice lady with wonderful knowledge of all the Peruvian history and culture also made a hugh difference. The places that we've gone to i.e. Larcoma, San Francesco Church, Downtown Lima... everything is just magical.
I know I'm raving about Lima because I came as a delegate on an Internationl event, and naturally there were special attention and treatment given. But really, I'm very glad that I came.
