cheddar salt?

If you have not seen Slumdog Millionaire, GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW.
Seriously.

The roommates and I went today, and it was absolutely fantastic.
What was even more fantastic was that all together the ticket, popcorn, and drink added up to only $6.00. Yes. You can't even get the ticket for a movie for that price in the USA.
We asked for salt for the popcorn and got cheddar powder. God I freaking love this country.

Dinner tonight was lively as ever.
Our host sister, Cynthia, who is about 28 I believe told us about her travels around the world and the prostitutes she's seen in Japan, Germany, and Holland. She told us how to sneakily take pictures of them, and that the blonde boys on corners in Japan are the hookers. Great.
Included in her detailed talk was a story about her friend and friend's husband going to a redlight-district area and entering a brothel that had a MENU of things you could order, including a "trio".
Oh, and not to worry, Peru is no exception. Our Señora let us know that here in Miraflores, late at night around the park there are young guys standing on streets, and older women drive up in their cars to "pick the boys up".

See mom and dad, I am learning so much here in Peru.
So. Much.
