		<description><![CDATA[This excellent article was written by Mildemonios for the blog Economía de los mil Demonios. The following is a translation, a makes a very interesting read.

Corruption makes us all angry, except for the corrupt of course. Just a couple of months ago the Institute of Public Opinion of the PUCP (large university) published the results of a survey focussed on corruption. There on page 4 you can see clearly that 94% of those surveyed, pretty much everyone, considered corruption in Peru to be a grave problem. But just two pages later is the data that worried me. Just 22% considered it important that in the fight against corruption we need the participation of the general public. And well, this is why we're screwed.]]></description>

I myself had visited two years ago in Buenos Aires, and it is definitely something I'll remember. It's a cross between a freak-show and a serious educational experience. It then finally came to Lima, Peru, and became a scandal for a less predictable reason.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bill Cochran, reader, librarian, Gutenberger and Twitter user, wondered what my take on reading, library and book culture in Peru was. I personally am an avid reader. I like reading factual texts, not entire texts, but just the parts that catch my interest before I spot another theme or topic of that launches me into another book - perhaps halfway through another book. I can while away hours like this, loosing track of time - my feeble product-of-its-time miniute concentration span and my constant hopping about never allowing me to become bored. Like probably a growing number of others, I don't read much fiction for entertainment, preferring to have my imagination done for me in the form of TV. But at least I read.

What I am getting at is that I might not be as knowledgeable in this subject as I could be, and my opinion below about Peruvians is just my opinion. It may be incorrect, perhaps I have been meeting all the wrong people. If you are Peruvian or have lived here, I would ask you to please leave your comment at the end of this post and tell us what your experience is.

Do Peruvians read? No.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gary Urton. The investigator from Harvard University reveals the latest results of his investigations of the meaning of the quipu.

As I explained in this previous post, the quipu (or khipu) is a fascinating communication device used in the pre-Columbian world for everything from accounting and record keeping to, it is believed, recording detailed text... names, words, a full written language not in symbols but in lengths of string and knots tied at points along them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Walking along Av. Oscar R. Benavides, once called the Avenida Colonial that joined Callao with distant Lima, I happened upon this very pretty cemetery. It was Sunday and the large entrance was busy with families visiting lost relatives and flower sellers doing a brisk trade.

This public cemetery, built in 1859 is the final resting place of Chalacos (as the people from Callao are called) both rich and poor. The rich have built grand mausoleums while the poor suffice with a nook in a wall of tombs. Interestingly for such an old cemetery it is still in use, and it is a strange contrast to see much more modern mausoleums and graves alongside much older ones, or see old family plots more recently added to. It is also obvious, through the placing of fresh flowers and candles, whom among the dead are still remembered and mourned, and who have been forgotten. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Such is Peruvian ingenuity that this was the first nation in South America to produce high-quality automobiles. World-beating ones at that. But as great as Peruvian creativity... is a lack Peruvian self esteem. What could have been the start of a major Peruvian industry was snuffed out by Peruvians themselves, who then, as now, see everything from abroad as better, whether it really is or not.]]></description>
