What city you live in?
You in a tourist area?
How safe is it there?
Cost of living compared to US.
The women? More Colombian like or more Brazilian like? Or is there much difference?
I hear the bigger cities are dirty. True?
Can you get by speaking only English?
I have a million questions.

Peru trannies are a big :nono:
Some street vendors like to dress up as women with huge balloons under their clothing serving as breasts and butts.
Oh you said "life" in Peru. Do you have any good bass fishing? How is the cocaine export business there?
The temp is fairly cool due to the Humboldt current. I wear a 3/2 most of the time, but lots of the poorer locals go out there in just shorts.
Swell is usually in the 6 foot range, but it is consistent as hell. Sometimes we get 10-12 foot days. You can count on two hands the number of days a year that you can't get out there. I live fairly close to Chicama, which is one of the longest waves in the world.

I live in Huanchaco, which is more of a town than a city. It is in northern Peru. This is a fishing village that in the last few decades has become a tourist draw due to the consistent surf. It is totally safe her in Huanchaco. I have walked around at every time of day and night and never felt afraid at all, though this is a tourist area.
There are areas of the bigger cities that are dangerous, but tourists won't typically go anywhere near them. Overall, I feel like Peru is safer than the States. I live about a 20 minute drive from Trujillo, which is the third-largest city on Peru, around 800,000 if I remember right.
Garbage is a major problem all over Latin America, as that anti-;littering campaign that the US had back in the 1970s has yet to make its way here. However, nice areas of cities and most tourist areas send out street crews to sweep things clean, which means most tourist areas stay pretty clean. Colombia was much worse than either Ecuador or Peru as far as the amount of garbage in the streets goes.
The cost of living is much cheaper. I live in a fairly nice hotel for 450 soles a month, which is about $175. A cheap menu is typically 5-6 soles, or around $2. A nice meal with drinks will run about 50-60 soles. Imported goods are very expensive. A snickers bar cost more here than back home. Same goes for electronics and almost any other imported good. So most things are way cheaper here, but imported things are very expensive.
You can get by in my town only speaking English, and sometimes I pretend I don't speak Spanish when people annoy me.
