First day in Peru

So before I left to Peru on February 13th, I was dying to stay in Cali because I was about to miss Valentines day, which really isn't anything but I simply didn't wanna go because it was too foreign for lots of reasons. If you're one of my close friends you would probably understand. So anyways, after bitching about not wanting to leave, I've decided to just make the best out of it and BLOG this shit! At least it'll give me something to do for a while and keep my friends posted. I'll try to make it as interesting as possible, eventhough it probably wont be. This ain't Highsnob or Slam. Aahah. Just kidding. Okay so here's how the first day went.

4am February 14th I got to LAX, geared up and ready to go. I was so damn tired though. I got my favorite coat, Nike bag, sneaks, and my dear baby laptop on board with me.


After that I got on the plane for about four hours, which I slept all the way, woke up and landed in El Salvador. It was Las Vegas summer kinda hot outside. Crazyyy compare to LA's weather the night before. I waited in San Salvador for an hour and found out that our connecting flight was going to be SIX HOURS DELAYED! I was like hell no I ain't waiting for six hours so my dad worked the magic. They decided to send us on another plane and I honestly didn't even know where the hell they were taking me. The pilot was speaking in spanish so I was like... "Fuck it, we'll find out"

Next thing you know... an hour later I landed in Costa Rica!


The weather was honestly the nicest thing that has ever graced my skin in years since the last time I went to Thailand. Fuckin' breezy as hell and you can see volcanoes outside and its all foggy. Craaaze. Most people at the airport were snobby European fools. My computer came to the rescue while I'm waiting for my next flight.

Crowded ass plane.


After I got back on the plane, it was another four hours to Peru. As soon as I landed, all I could smell was smog and the ocean. Bad combo, I know! I found out that they don't regulate smogs here so my lungs were really about to collapse. Whatever though, I was too damn tired to care about anything except for the fact that my luggage didn't arrive with me! WHAT THE HELL? My whole life is pretty much in that bag. Arghhhh. My ass was angry but nothing I could do but come back and get it in the morning. On my way to the house, I decided to observe, observe, and observe some more.

Since I was in Lima, which is the capital, you could see all these crazy advertisement and billboards. An OH MY GOD... the first thing that I spotted after we pulled out of the airport parking lot was this thing...


I know its a bad picture but it's a FOUR-SIDED ROTATING BILLBOARD! Holyyy shit. Do we have one around LA? Well, call me a dumbass if we do but I've never seen one before in my life. Imagine American graffiti culture with this shit. People would die trying to get their names up there rotating night and day 150 feet in the air in the middle of the city. I'll get a better picture during the day when I can.

The next thing that tripped me out was this "thing".I can't really call it a car because the size of it was about 4x5 feet. It's their ghetto-taxi.


Oh yeah, and it's full-service at gas stations. They do it for you. In uniforms and everythang.


We drove around the city and all I see is walls. Walls everywhere. This shit would be covered up if it was in LA. There's tags everywhere though. Most of them mark territories and they look a little cornier compare to LA tags but that shit is still at every corner. I'd say 80 percent of it looks like kindergarten chicken scratch, but its cool! I'm not hating. It's nice to see something different. Some throwups but no pieces are to be seen but NAMES EVERYWHERE! This one dude though... PEMS. He's up! Everywhere I turn left and right it's PEMS. His shit is actually not booty-looking like all the other tags either. The dude got flavor but this is the only one I could get a picture of when the car stopped.


A couple of other people that I spotted allover the place was Sponge, Rof, and Nemo! Hahaha.


The most interesting one is this picture. The locals told me that this guy "K" goes around and spray paint the electricity panels all over Lima to look like an envelope vertically. They're everywhere! That shit is clever. Get your message out boyyyy. Maybe it's even a girl? Hope so.



I went home and knocked out til' noon the next day.
My luggage finally arrived. But this is what my life consists of at the moment: Passport, Chapstick, Cell phone that I can't use, US Dollars that are gladly accepted, Stunna shades cause it's hella sunny, and reading glasses.


Oh yeah, and I came up on my favorite perfume of all time, Jadore by Dior! It was tax-free. Holla!


Finally, this is what I woke up to this morning. The beach.



My dad keeps grabbing the camera and taking mugshot pictures of me, which is getting very annoying because I hate bad pictures but I guess its cool. At least I'll get more than just scenery pictures.


Okay so I'm out and about for the day. Get my shop on and pick up my brotha from anotha motha (Literally) from the airport. Stay posted!


And that's Cooks the DONna blogging on the balcony for ya. To be continued...
