Tidbit I forgot from the last entry:

I'm pretty sure the model daughter's boyfriend suggested I get my teeth fixed!

At our first meeting, after telling me all the good food I should try in Peru, he said, "also, Peru is really cheap for dental and medical things, so if you're staying long and you want to get anything fixed you should do it here." (!!!) I'm pretty sure this is not normal introductory conversation. What say you?

  1. I don't know any Peruvians so I wouldn't know if it was a standard way of breaking the ice but...
    hmm since he said "medical" too, he could have equally meant plastic surgery.
    Or maybe he was referring to your nala-dath.
    Or he expects that after enjoying the aforementioned "good food", for an extended period of time, you'd need to get something fixed.
    Or he could be working in a clinic and maybe he gets a cut for bringing in patients :D
    ...or maybe you misunderstood his Spanish (or he his English).

  2. Hahahaaa, I hope for his sake that there was no ulterior motive. Else maybe like the cuisine, they are trying to promote dental/medical tourism?

  3. Hang on! Didn't you say people loved your smile (you did not elaborate as promised though)? Hmmm, this guy makes me suspicious... :P

  4. No no, the people who loved my smile were the teachers in school. We had to do this exercise amongst the teachers, where we write one thing about each teacher and pass the paper and mine was full of people saying, "I like your smile".

    The guy was speaking to me in English, and it was pretty decent, so no misunderstanding... Yes, I thought he meant my "nala dath". He is going out with a model after all. Maybe he thinks everyone should get surgery and look 'perfect'.

  5. But your "nala dath" is the best thing ever. You should not change it for a million bucks. I think he was just trying to be super nice and give you all the inside information.

  9. It was an educated guess, I thought it meant lucky tooth. Probably the thing I like best about Laha :).
