School, But Not As We Know It

This is inside the school i work in in Trujillo, between two of the classrooms. the man passed out at stage right is the nightwatchman (its standard with schools etc to have someone who gets to live within the compound in return for taking the fall if anything gets nicked). he’s usually drunk, so [...]

My New Waterbed

Sorry about the long gap between posts, ive had rather a lot on my plate the past couple of days. yesterday i went with my french friend Baptiste to see his school which is in one of the really deprived slum areas which line every highway here. it was really nice though, the children are [...]

Fat People Shouldnt Dance

I went to Estribo’s last night, the night club i mentioned about 50 posts ago which is so posh they even check you for guns on the way in, and it was a rather horrible experience. partly i suppose this is due to the fact that i didnt go session drinking beforehand with a bunch [...]

Ive broken the 800 barrier!

*victory dance*
*not done yet*
and im back.
sorry about the silence that has descended over my page the past couple of days, i almost got round to editing it yesterday but was distracted by a hamburger which was almost big enough to eat me. (im not joking, it was the size of a dinner plate).
ive got a [...]

[title drought]

I dont have all that much to report today, im just posting to let you all know im still alive really. i witnessed something really rather funny earlier, Yenth Ccorba and his muscly friend were cruising on a bmx down Avenida Larco (at least 3 streets in every town are called Avenida Larco but this [...]

Builders. Need I Say More?

having fallen asleep last night with my face in the notebook i was writing in (end result, writing printed on right cheek, inkstain on bedsheet, large tract of amazing novel obliterated by nighttime drool although if i read my cheek carefully i might be able to save some of it) i was woken at the [...]

I had this taken by my friend Grimaldo because i just loved the t shirt. who is father eric? and are his army from poland or are they housekeepers? Who knows. But check the muscly arms.

Withnail is back…

I feel horrible. So there.
I ate crab last night after much persuasion from the Señora and Abuelo and Carlos, even though i KNOW the raw sewage is pumped into the sea here, and, quelle surprise, i now have a stomach which is doing acrobatics to rival Harry Potter. i want to die, but at the [...]

Fruit, botoxed shoulders and dead cameras. A normal week, in other words.

I am so angry you wouldnt believe. an Australian girl crushed my camera lens last night and the poor thing isnt working right any more! Argh! and i thought australians were alright!
i took her by suprise with the flash when she wasnt expecting it and her reflex was to crush my camera. im hopping mad, [...]

Short Post Because The Sun Is Shining And I Dont Want To Be Inside.

Small Boy In An Empty Swimming Pool

How To Give Someone A Heart Attack

Last night i was heading back to mine at 11:45 and as i got there i found, to my suprise/shock/horror a WHOLE TRIBE of mariachis! there were about 10 of them, all dressed up like the offspring of a cowboy and a pimp and with metre-wide hats that said ‘MARIACHI 2000′ across the brim. it’s [...]

Political Update

ive clarified what the fight was about, i think. at least i have three possible stories.
1) it was carlos vs. yenth ccorba because of customer theft and stuff. nothing was sorted out and they are both stropping like 10year olds
2) it was about an australian girl and two men were fighting over her, obviously in [...]
