First things first, I guess the US is ignorant to whats going on in Lima b/c apparently some people thought that I was in some kind of danger. The unrest that is going on is only in the Amazon areas so in otherwords I'm about 1000 miles away from where the people were killed. There are protests going on close to me but the most danger they really possess is the cops throwing some smoke and or/ gas grenades to clear the crowds.
I made it to Lima on Saturday morning and have already gotten adjusted to where I'm staying. It is super nice here, I have my own room, there is a nice living room with leather furniture, a super nice kitchen with a large TV and the bathrooms have hot water and bidets. The family is also nice with the Grandmother, 2 guys one in his 20's the other 17 and 2 ladies in their late 20's early 30's. The mother here is really sweet and also is constantly shoving food down our throats (it's good but she keeps piling it on and I can barely finish it all). This time there is no disclaimer because this is actually how I'm living. I'll try to upload some photos for everyone later.
Also, I've only had one day of classes so far but they seem like they will be easy and on top of that my 5 weeks consist of a 3 day week, another 3 day week, a 4 day week, a 3 day week, and then another 4 day week with my final on the fifth day. Needless to say, the classes here should be pretty lax allowing me to enjoy my; stay more. I also might start looking for orphanages this weekend because my classes end at 3:30 so I could spend a couple of hours each day at an orphanage if it's not too far away.
Chao for now,
Brandon
