Again I didn’t find a micro going till IBM so I walked to the metro and just went the last few kilometers by bus. When I told my collegues how I got there they just laughed at me and one knew a website, which has some routes mapped, which helped me finally find the right line, which I’ll try tomorrow.

The IBM building is quite big, has a nice soccer field, cafeteria and an e-cafe where you can play Wii or PS3 (on which Fifa matches are common). Seems like in Peru it’s not that easy to get the “Great place to work” award, which IBM holds here as well for several consecutive years.

One of my collegues was really worried about me taking the laptop on those buses and tried to persuade me to take a safe cab instead, but that would cost 10 € per day. Still I was lucky – we found someone, who lives in Miraflores right next to my hostel and he offered to take me home. He was a little ill this day, so he went shortly after 4 p.m. and I had a good excuse to leave work early 😉

On the way back he told me about a Peruvian airline which everybody loved, because of their new planes and cheap prices. After a few years of operation it turned out this company wasn’t making money by transporting passengers, but cocaine on their planes, so they were closed and now Peruvians miss that airline 😀
