Quote Cesar Vallejo to a stranger.

Hay golpes en la vida, tan fuertes... ¡Yo no sé! 
Golpes como del odio de Dios; como si ante ellos, 
la resaca de todo lo sufrido 
se empozara en el alma... ¡Yo no sé!

No, I just have access to original Vallejo texts from my translation class.

"César Vallejo ha muerto, le pegaban
todos sin que él les haga nada;
le daban duro con un palo y duro

también con una soga; son testigos
los días jueves y los huesos húmeros,
la soledad, la lluvia, los caminos…"

It sounds like poetry. If I were to be honest, I understand like 65 percent of it. Lol it’s harder when you are intoxicated. >.>

Well he sounds good at what he does, from what I understand. Lol

He was majorly important in Peru, and translating him was/still is considered impossible, primarily for his use of made-up phrases/sounds/neologisms and fluctuating registers. Though some have tried, no English poet's singular approach has been completely successful, depending on what you call successful as an English translation.

Well no wonder a newb like me was struggling lol. Don’t know if anyone here is exclusively Peruvian other than the staff.

Bat your eyelashes a local boy and tell him you want to hit the market and try local street foods.

Also, remember you are an American in a foreign country, so be at least three times as loud as you need to be. :P

Lmao. Two locals have already hit on me on this trip. Which just makes me miss my boyfriend more. I’ve been messaging him, but it’s gonna be magic when I see him again.

Do Peruvians know English?

Some, but honestly would not recommend coming here if you don’t know a decent amount. At least to order food, or directions. Luckily I know bare minimum lol

That's cool as shit! I wish I was brave enough to backpack across a foreign country solo. I don't even like eating in public solo .... unless I'm studying or something.

Well there is such a thing as the “gringo” route where many tourists go. I actually just got off of it and now I’m Chiclayo. If anyone was considering it, I’d highly recommend hostels where they give you a lot of food for cheap and you meet a ton of other backpackers like you. A couple didn’t even know a little spanish like these 2 guys from the Netherlands I was talking too. And I’ve been embarrassing myself left and right but I just laugh it off, say perdon or gracias and move on. :)
