What is a school day like in Peru?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, for high class students like me :D (im lucky, my family belongs to the high class which is only 2% of the polulation) school is cool, nice friends, drugs are never sold at schools (only university) nice teachers from all over the world (even Wales), nice food, beautifull gardens, chemistry and biology labs fully equipped, computer rooms filled with ibooks (which students can take home and use as their own completely free of charge), a music room with pianos, guitars, drums, etc. And a group of guys dressed in green who are allways cleaning the hallways (that we use as a trash can on purpose) and say "aver aver! que estan haciendo!" (hey! what are you dooing?!?!) in a tone which high class people find hilarious.

But the lower classes... about 90% of the population... they probably study in some crappy building with just enough money to buy their books, no computers, no nice welsh teachers, no internet, no green guys to clean the hallways, lots of drugs, violence, no labs, I even heard that there are some schools where the students s**t outside the toilet on purpose, I have a friend who went to Arequipa with some teachers and friends to help a public school and found human feces (s**t) in the lavatory. (I really pitty those guys and high class schools like mine always try to help them).

Do Peruvians eat guinea pigs in Peru?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, You may best know the guinea pig as a nervous little pet that lives in a cage and eats alfalfa pellets. Now, the rodents are increasingly showing up on plates in the United States. South American restaurants on both coasts seem to be pushing the trend, answering to demand mostly from Andean expats for what is considered a fine and valuable food in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Middle-class foodies with a taste for exotic delicacies are also ordering, photographing and blogging about guinea pig. The animals — called cuyes in Spanish — are usually cooked whole, often grilled, sometimes deep fried. Many diners eat every last morsel, literally from head to toe. 📷 Courtesy of Curtiss CalleoGuinea pigs on the grill

But there may be more to gain from eating guinea pig than bizarre foods bragging rights. According to activists, eating guinea pig is good for the environment. Matt Miller, an Idaho-based science writer with The Nature Conservancy, says rodents and other small livestock represent a low-impact meat alternative to carbon-costly beef. Miller, who is writing a book about the ecological benefits of eating unconventional meats, visited Colombia several years ago. At the time, he says, conservation groups were expressing concern about local ranchers clearing forest to provide pasture for their cattle — activity that was causing erosion and water pollution. "They were encouraging people to switch from cattle to guinea pigs," Miller says. "Guinea pigs don't require the land that cattle do. They can be kept in backyards, or in your home. They're docile and easy to raise." The Little Rock-based humanitarian organization Heifer International, which assists communities in enhancing their economies and streamlining local food production, is also promoting guinea pig husbandry in Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala. Jason Woods, the nonprofit's Americas regional program assistant, says guinea pigs — which he says usually weigh no more than 2 pounds — are twice as efficient as cows at turning food, like hay and compost scraps, into meat: To render a pound of meat, a cow, he explains, may require 8 pounds of feed. A guinea pig only needs 4.

What is the value of a Peru 500000 note?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Peru does not have a current issue note with a denomination of 500,000. All notes issues prior to re-valuation in 1991 are essentially worthless other than to collectors.

The 500,000 Intis note was issued twice in 1988 and again in 1989. In perfect uncirculated condition, they are worth between $5-$7, depending on specific issue. A circulated note in Very Fine condition would be worth about $1.

Which is better merino wool or peruvian highland wool?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what you're looking for. Merino wool is incredibly soft, and has a nice light hand, but it tends to be fragile. It doesn't always wear well, and is prone to fuzzing and pilling. It's lovely when softness is the main consideration, like for a scarf or baby items. But make an active boy a sweater of it, and the thing will be all pills and holes in no time at all. Peruvian Highland sheep are a cross between Merino (for the softness) and Corriedale (for durability.) You get a wool that is stronger and more durable, without losing too much in softness. It's a good all purpose wool, but not butter-soft like the merino.

Who dreamed he was eating his shoe.

And found it was perfectly true.

Most limericks are anonymous apart from those of Edward Lear, which some would argue aren't really limericks.

It's nearly impossible to pin down the author of any particular limerick. I hope someone can be of more assistance here.
