I learned a new skill! :D

This definitely should have been the blog titled "Coca Coca Everywhere!"

I lost count of how many coca toffee candies I ate today but I know it was over 10. The lady I work closely with, Angelica, keeps insisting that I try the candies and coca products to encourage the customers. In addition to the coca candies I chewed on coca leaves, drank coca tea, and had a coca candy bar. I swear I felt some type of high after leaving work! I hope there aren't any drug tests in my near future. :/

Lessons learned and experiences gained today:

1. Today I learned how to make cocaine! For some odd reason, although the Museo de Coca wants to diffuse the negative thoughts behind the coca leaf, they have 3 exhibits on how to make it. The exhibits include a step-by-step guide, a picture diagram, and pictures of what the cocaine looks like at each stage of production. How nice of them...?

I made sure the pictures were small enough so no one could read it. The paper on the left of the first picture is the step-by-step guide. The first picture depicts what the cocaine looks like in each stage, and the last picture shows the labor behind the steps of making the drug. I wonder if my blog will get flagged for this. :/

2. Chloe, my roomy,  and I got Peruvian Chinese food. We searched the city for a Chinese food restaurant worthy of our money. We first stopped at a dark Chinese food restaurant where the menu consisted of Peruvian specialties like loma soltado and fried rice (which I guess is the "Chinese" part of the restaurant). After having multiple problems there, we left and found another Chinese food restaurant which was actually ran by a Chinese man and had excellent food! :D I didn't take any pictures of the restaurant or food because it was in a sketchy part of town and I didn't want to take out any of my electronics. 

3. I heard that coca is good for altitude sickness. Well, I think I can vouch for that because today after being so "coked" out on coca products I didn't feel as out of breath as usual. :D Yay coca!

4. I should have known that I didn't need to show up on time for work today. My boss showed up about 25 minutes late. I waited in the cold. 
(I have videos but ill post them when the internet connection is better)

5. I'm still not used to the weather. It's freezing cold in the morning all the way up to 11am and then heats up to what seems around 80 degrees in the afternoon, only for the sun to set around early 5pm and get really cold again. -_-

6. ALL of the English descriptions of the exhibits at the Museo de Coca are grammatically incorrect. I've decided that the first task I should tackle at the museum is to translate the descriptions. I definitely have my work cut out for me. :/

7. The Karaoke place near the Coca  museum keeps reappearing in creepier and creepier spots. 

I was so excited to visit this karaoke place right near the museum...

until it moved here overnight...(btw, this is a zoomed in picture that doesn't show the creepiness of the alleyway that leads to that stairwell)

PICTURE TIME!! 

....oh, actually I didn't take that many leisure pics today. I did take video though and will upload when I get a faster internet speed.
