Popcorn, Potatoes and Poverty

There's a short article here about our early experiences in Peru.

  1. Hi Amanda & Neil,

    I just wanted to say that this is one of the (if not the very) best articles on adapting to a new culture and language that I've read. You capture the differences and difficulties so well, and naturally. It reminds me of our first arrival in Punta Arenas and expeditions to the supermarket on our own ... but you aren't there on holiday and the pressures on you to learn and get things right are much greater than our experience. I'd like to share this with our local Christian Writers' Group meeting if that's ok. Every blessing to you and Daniel & Sophie as you become more and more fluent in language and comfortable in culture. Graham.
