There are NOT many peruvians here I mean in Ohio so Its hard for us to find a peruvian restaurant, there's only one in the whole city and the owners are old and they open on weekends at night its like a bar/restaurant I like their pisco sour good.gif




What city are you in?

There is a restaurant in Cincinnati I hope to try soon.



COME TO PATERSON, NJ and you will SEE MANY MANY PERUVIAN RESTAURANTS!!!


I have to go there sometime, I heard about Paterson before smile.gif
I went to cleveland last year to eat in Machu picchu restaurant but It was close crying.gif

Good morning everybody

Good news, I opened a new checking account at Washington Mutual and got approved for a Secured Credit card, I think that's the easiest way. I put down $300 and in about 10 days I'll be getting a new Master Card credit card. I thought that they were going to keep my $300 but they explained me that after a few months I can show the records of all the payments I make and they can approve me for a real credit card.

Thanks everybody for sharing your experiences with me

Have a great day
VI good.gif

By the way a little question for the peruvians:::, I'm trying to build some credit in this country, I used to have a credit card with my name but was really my hubby' s credit card, so for two years we thought that I was building some credit here and then we found out that not, what a waste of time and money... what are you doing to build your credit line in the States???

Erika's HUSBAND:

Well to be honest I used to say that to my hubby too, that everything was going to be alright but the 1st year was very hard for me, I come from a a very big, close family and I miss every moment with them but my husband was EXTREMELY patient with me. As Veroka said, wasn't until I got a new job, made new friends and started making my own money that I started feeling much better.

Good luck in your journey.

By the way, VEROKA how's everything?? we haven't heard from you for a long time, how was the trip tp Canada?

Hugs for everybody

Hello Vi & the rest of the VJs members

I have been busy but I always try to be here and read their new posts
Everything in Ohio is good. Our trip to Canada was great, I will never forgot those moments we spent there.
My fav. places were Niagara falls... It's a romantic place specially at night heart.gif tongue.gif
I also enjoyed being in an island north of Toronto, where everything was calm and nice. tongue.gif

I've read through some of the posts on this thread and they've got me a little worried about how my wife will feel after moving to the US. unsure.gif I tell her that I expect she'll miss her family a lot and that she may be depressed from time to time, but she reassures me every time I bring it up that she'll be just fine and that she's extremely excited to be able to spend every day with me very soon. For those of you originally from Lima and now living in the States, how did you feel before moving here and how has the process of adjusting gone since you arrived here?


In jan 08, I will be 2 years living in the US
At 1st, It was hard for me because I'm very close to my family. maybe the first 6 months I was depresed sometime
but Jeff helped me a lot.

I still miss my family but it's not that bad. I have a job and new friends here, i think that helps a lot too

Hi my name is Carmen and I am from Peru. I am going to be marrying George in Lima soon, and we are having lots of questions about the wedding in Lima. Can somebody who has married a peruvian help us please? We went to the Surco City Hall and they say we need to state in all our documents that George lives in Lima otherwise he will have to come here, start the paperwork, get the medical test then fly back to TX and post his wedding "edicto" there , then come back to Lima and finally be able to get married. He can´t be coming that often due to his job, can somebody please post how you didi it? The timings are making us feel overwhelmed, like they are saying the medical exam will be valid only for 30 days, the born certificate needs to be a recent one , and so on.
He is coming to visit me next week for 5 days and then he will come for our wedding on September.
He can only come here the most for 10 days. And they are saying everything needs to be translated and authenticated. How long does it take for the peruvian consulate in the USA to authenticate his papers?
Any advices will be very welcomed. Thank you!

Carmen

Veroka,

Delia and I can't get to Peru until May and we need some Peruvian food. We are going to be in Columbus next weekend and we want to go to Garcia's or Restaurante LA GUADALUPANA. La Guadalupana seems to have a better menu. We are really looking for a good pollo a la brasa preferably cooked over lena.

Also, would you have any recomendation on a good place to go dancing to latin music?

Thanks for all your help
Andy



i havent been in la guadalupana so i dont know too much about that place but someone told me was OK
and Garcia's i think is close, i tried to go once but It was close....
Here in columbus, there's not a polleria or something close like that :( i saw one but in cincinnati

We were in Columbus last weekend and I keep forgetting to get your contact info Veroka! :( Kathe prefers columbus over cleveland (and as I am doing my taxes now I do even more so myself), but the job is here, so we go to columbus probably once a month. :)

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaHi, I'm from Peru

I came back from Lima 2 weeks ago, everything still the same BUT I'll recommend you to visit Larcomar (looks so different!!) the new stores are really cool.
I made the mistake to go to the Indian Markets in Petit Thouars with my hubby Plop!! a soon as they saw him they charge me double the price, I went back the next day with my dad and I got the regular prices. Another places that we love is "El Tayta" a bar in Miraflores with diferent kinds of Pisco Sour. "Huaringas" is in our list, great Pisco Sour too.
If you like to dance be prepared 'cause eveybody listens to "Reggaeton" we are not big fans of that rythm but they play it everywhere.

That's it.... good luck in your trip!!!!

Because I am pregnant and craving peruvian food, I decided to order some stuff from www.labodegaperuana.com... I must say I am very pleased with this store, the prices aren't completely insane(considering we are not in Lima) and although they couldn't send the "Chicha morada" I ordered because they sold out... everything arrived in perfect condition and with Priority Mail.

Can't wait to make some Aji de gallina, Ocopa and boil some Chicha morada with actual "maiz morado"!!

Guess what I am having now... Some salty "cancha" :) :dance:

Still can't find the resources to make some tamales though... anyone?


Congratulations!!! ;)

We also were looking how to make tamales, the only way we eat them is in the mexican restaurants,of course they are not the same :(
