Reply to comment by shoeshouuu in How are Peruvian Americans in CT feeling about the situation in Peru? by Great_Individual673
Peru had some good times for visitors, especially around 10 years ago, agreed. We went briefly. But as far as I know my husband hasn't thought it's been a good time to go now since Covid. He follows the news there every day and I know for the last year or two has been talking all the time about how the shit is gonna hit the fan.

Yes, before COVID is nice. But now with the protest it's a bad time. But besides that the country is very nice as long as you don't act foolish in the streets. I think your husband has a bad view on based on 30 years ago and I believe that's very unfair to the nation. And it pains me to see that way you described it here in such a bad light and how a good amount of people upvotes especially when I know the majority doesn't know a thing about Peru.... Now when they think of Peru they will refer to you comment... It's very disappointing. The media all over the world promotes negativity in each country. That's how they gain views. I encourage you to talk to you husband to reconnect with the culture and see how far it has come since the last 3 decades. Peru is just now becoming a country of notice around the world and negative press to the unknowing people only hurts the developing nation.
