News from "investment grade" Peru (part 193)

Read this report written by an Australian volunteer in Peru. Every so often this kind of first-hand diary-report kind of article gets written by people visiting and working in Peru but this one is better than most.

Anyone who has visited the more remote parts of the Andes Cordillera will know that Courtney Trenwith is the real deal. Her report may be a bit overstuffed with pathos for some tastes, but she's far closer to the truth than the cretins unreservedly praising Peru by looking at its economic numbers from a hotel conference room in Miraflores.

Viva investment grade. Viva viva viva.
