Just comparing Peru to the states as usual and realizing almost every day I'm invited into a new señora's house for lunch or dinner, and most of them don't know me. I'm a complete stranger and they invite me over to spend time with their families, to exchange cultures, ideas, foods. Has that ever happened to you in the states? Why are people so afraid? How are people so open hearted here when it's supposed to be "more dangerous, more unstable?" Obviously you need to be careful and not be an IDIOT and just trust ANYONE off the street, but I admire Peruvian people so much for their open arms. When I return, I'll have to make it a point to be a friend to strangers. I encourage whoever's reading to try it out. It's unconventional as hell, but who knows what good can come out of it? After all, doing good only brings more goodness into your life. Share the meal. It's a stranger AND a person AND, most likely, a GOOD person, just like you. Thank you for hearing me out. Namaste, homies.
