At UNIFE today, I would
typically partake in the conversation classes we have with the girls outside in
the courtyard, but today I ran into some personal issues – mainly with my stomach.
You can’t blame me for needing to go. I would come out for the next half of
conversation and immerse myself with the girls at UNIFE about their social
lives. It was all about boys. They thought I was Brazilian, and apparently it’s
not such a bad thing here in Peru. Falo Portugues? Mmm. Sim. Um pouco. Well,
that was enough to swoon some of the girls at UNIFE which was completely
unintentional. What the heck did I get myself into. But no I told them I wasn’t
Brazilian but for some reason that piece of information went in one ear and out
the other as they would continue to ask me to say more things in Portuguese.
Like that was ever going to happen.
Oh look at that! It’s time to
go for some culture classes. Today’s culture class was a gastronomy class. And
let me tell you. This by far was the most interesting class at UNIFE. Only
because I’m a complete foodie. The professor of gastronomy, I guess you could
call him that, began to explain the various make-ups of Peruvian cuisine.
Apparently, Peruvian food got its roots from all types of cuisines such as
Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and African. Huh. Who knew? It was really
interesting stuff because at that point do you really give it its own identity
and label it as Peruvian? That’s like calling hotdogs and hamburgers American.
We know it’s German, but no one is going to really acknowledge that because – ‘Merica.
I spent the rest of the day
sleeping up until the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors were
playing. My friend Mary calls me to meet up and watch the game at the bar. We
ended up at some sports bar and it was absolutely lit. They had tower beers and
wings. That’s really all anyone needs. What seemed to be a nice date night
turned into a conjoined friends’ night out as I began inviting a bunch of
people out to watch with us. It was fun and it was a good time. But no tower
beer.
