During lunch they were introduced to some peruvians. They were executives working in multinational companies in Lima. At that point they started realizing the great controversy in Peru. On the one hand you had the very poor people, that represented nearly the 80% of the population and on the other hand you had the rest of the population, living comfortable or even luxurious lives. Very soon they would find out that in Peru, like in all L. America, it is possible to live in a glass world. You could have the illusion of a comfortable life, with nice cars, restaurants, houses, clubs, cheap asistance at home, etc. At the same time a family not very far from the nice areas in Lima, could be living with 150 dollars or less per month.
This is my story. An expatriate story which starts in Greece and ends in Peru. A journey full of surprises, that did not make me rich, but certainly made me wiser.
