Lima is an enormous city, very chaotic and very hard to navigate around if you don't know the city. I've been spending more or less all my time around here by myself, just meeting friends for a couple of hours here and there, which has been fine, but that also meant that I had to figure out the whole transportation thing here by myself.
Well, in Copenhagen they say everything is close to you because you are in a big city. Lima is such a big city that everything is far away. So you can't just walk from one part to the other. Furthermore a lot of the neighbourhoods around here are very dangerous. in generel I haven't been feeling too secure around here. Anyways, back to the transportation. There is a million small micros or buses driving around all over the city. There is 2 people working in each bus, one is driving, and the other is screaming out of the window where the bus is going plus collection money from the passengers. It is really dangerous that job though, because a lot of times they drive (and they drive crazy and very fast around here) with the door open and the person is leaning out the door and screaming. Crazy system, but i have to give them, that it seems to work.
As a tourist it is really not very logic which buses you can take though, and I think I have been taking some crazy buses around here, because it seems like it takes a million years to go anywhere, or maybe it is just because everything is so far away, who knows?
Tomorrow I'm going to Colombia, and I've been thinking about all the great things I've been expiriencing here in Peru, definately not something I'll ever forget. Gracias Peru!
