i forgot some stuff!

so i got to the hostel last night and was jetlagged and in need of sleep, and one of the guys in my room snored. somehow i always forget that a lot of guys snore, i guess because i don't. but that's not what makes the story interesting. what makes it interesting is that he would half wake himself up with his snoring and then say things like "seven. seven. seven. seven. seven seven seven seven. seven" or weird half-asleep mutterings in an irish accent (the accent itself wasn't weird because he was irish, but i didn't necessarily know that at the time). the moral of the story: always keep the earplugs handy. also, in case anyone was worried, since i know you were, lima has mcdonalds, kfc, and pizza hut. which in and of itself isn't so strange, those are everywhere. but they also have lots of pet dogs and pilates spas and health clubs, and the most popular foods seem to be hamburgers and fried chicken. which surprised me quite a bit. and apparently gambling is legal, because there's cheesy theme casinos a la las vegas all over. like "renaissance castle" or "incan temple" or "old run down house turned slot parlor". the moral is that cities are lame and i'm leaving lima tomorrow.
