    My hiatus update: our kid became a Mrs. just this evening.  The party ended very early (at an Hacienda with horses, they need to sleep at night).

    Peruvians party harder than any other group I know...

    Their economy is (still) growing, but there is more uncertainty with China slowing and less (not much less), foreign investment.  Still OTS of tourists, Peru is a beautiful country.

    Congratulations!

    Never been to Peru. Best partiers I have run across are those in Costa Rica. Latin America in general seems to know how to unwind and have a good time.

    @darlidada my impression of what makes most people happy is that it is a combination of the following
    1) Self sufficiency
    2) Large and strong family and social networks
    3) Physical fitness
    4) Relative social status
    5) Physical comforts

    If we weigh these factors equally. Its not entirely clear how the average Westerner measures up to the average Filipino. Migration is still predominately out of the Philippines indicating that the Filipino's think they are better off in the west but that may not be the case forever.
