The Japanese Connection



Nu decided to use the time to try and work in a Peruvian restaurant and learn a few recipes. This did not work out, but instead we eneded up meeting a Japanese guy who has been in Peru for 24 years, who invited us to his house as he was cooking japanese that night for a few friends. Tomo and Masako were unbelievably welcoming. We walked into their house, learned to cook Japanese, I got pretty drunk with Tomo on his whisky and Sake, ate their food and had the time of our lives. What was most interesting is that Tomo speaks almost no English, but that only added to all the fun we had. We immediately fixed another date for an Indian dinner which Nu cooked. Another crazy fun afternoon, where we also learned how to make Sake!! Add to that, Dahlia an Isreili friend we had travelled through Bolivia with joined us in Cusco and at Tomo and Masakes house and cooked us a Shashooka.

One of the highlights of the last few months has to be the people we have met along the way. The unexpected beautiful friendships we have made, and the times we have spend with these people enriching each others lives. Often times you know you may never meet again and so living and enjoying the moment takes on an all together new meaning.

We had a few days and so started trying to figure the best route to Machu Pichu.
