I really enjoyed visiting JF, I would like to go back there again! I actually did visit the UFJF campus with a friend of mine and it was very beautiful. (I didn't film it however). I can imagine it is an awesome place to be a student, in such beautiful surroundings. I also did visit the Museu Mariano Procópio but it was closed. I think I went there on the wrong day. Jadim Botanico I will have to save for my next visit. Thanks for the suggestions! Yes I got the impression that JF was an important place, especially with its proximity to Rio de Janeiro as well. 👍

Thank you, that's very kind of you but I'm still learning! I think you have to be able to speak some Portuguese in Brazil or you won't be able to experience the real culture there. Agree about the food it's incredible and very diverse in flavours.

Haha, exactly Pedro! I wouldn't leave any of that good Brazilian food! That was a proper lunch!

That's awesome I can see why!

Obrigado Tarsila, sim mas estou aprendendo ainda! Pois é comida brasileira é bom demais! 😉

Those are the types of places that I prefer! The quality was excellent at La Campesina. 👍

I don't think so... or at least I didn't see any!

Não. Todos os rejeitos contaminados foram aterradoras em uma aérea periférica de Goiânia, onde seu desenvolvimento esta limitado em razão de possível contaminação do sobsolo.

Muito obrigado sou grato pelo comentário! Goiania e muito boa como cidade. Sempre achei o interior do Brasil muito interessante. (Claro, as praias também são lindas no BR!) A cultura do interior e acolhedora e simpática. Gostei bastante! 👍

Thank you Joao!

That's very cool that you can get Inca Kola in The US now. What part of the US are you in? I think my friend from Chile said you can buy it there also.

Me too! 👍

Thank you, it was awesome!

Muchas gracias Joao Alejandro! Soy agradecido! Lima es muy hermoso y quiero volver cuando es posible! Saludos desde Canterbury!

It was indeed! Thank you!

Muchas gracias! La próxima visita, me voy hasta Cusco y descubrir el sur del país por cierto! 👍

Thank you very much! That's very cool about Inca Kola, I can see why so many people in Peru like it! It's a familiar marketing strategy from CC to buy out smaller brands. I hope it has stayed the same since they bought it!

Very interesting history of multi cultural Peru there Victor thanks for sharing that. I had no idea that the UK had so much business with Peru in the past! It's great that the Chinese influence has created a kind of hybrid cuisine in Peru, it certainly has very interesting flavours. Also interesting that Peru abolished slavery in 1853 some 35 years before Brazil! Thanks also for the book recommendation I'll look it up. 👍

@ Hi William, you know the bigest tragedy of peru as a republic was the war with Chile from 1879-1884 precisely a war for those rich nitrate provinces that fuelled agriculture in Europe, Bolivia also lost its access to the ocean in that war, some historians say Queen Victoria was right behind the geopolitics of that war taking sides with Chile that was its ally providing security for the straight a Magallanes on the south tip of South America for sea routes to its colonies around the globe. If interested in the subject look for the “ten cents war” from Bruce W Farcau, brilliantly writen for my taste

@@victorsanchez4351 Hi Victor, that's really interesting, you obviously have an interest in history like me! I have watched a few videos online about the conflict and I did visit a boat in Santiago that was part of the war I think (back in 2018). But in fact I have been looking for a book about it, so that is amazing to get this recommendation and I will definitely look it up. Thank you. I had no idea Queen Victoria was involved! Yes it must have been a challenge for Bolivia to lose its ocean access. I can imagine that it was also hard for Peru to recover from that. I imagine the football matches between the 2 countries are quite a heated affair nowadays! 😜

Great! Yes I felt safe in Uberlandia too!

Muchas gracias, estoy muy agradecido! 👍

Pues sí, es la verdad! La próxima vez!

Very interesting stuff! 👍

I see what you mean! The traffic is quite hairy in Lima, but still a very cool city.

Yes I did notice that, that must be good for the economy. And a lot of old cars as well! Some of the car models I hadn't seen in decades!

@ hehehe yes we have quite a few old bangers on the roads, I heard they pay good money in Europe for VW Beatles specially those made in Germany, also old Land Rover jeeps

@@victorsanchez4351 Yeah man those cars are considered to be vintage classics if they are in good condition! I remember seeing a Volvo estate 960 in Lima, so stylish and one I haven't seen for years. I actually think it's cool to be honest as all the car in the UK newish and the most look the same. The old bangers have the character!

@@williamgafrost hi yes there is a story with Volvo, during the rule of the general Velazco back in the 70s he made a deal with the sweeds to assemble Volvo lorries in Lima and in the band wagon the Volvo cars where allowed too, there was no free market during that pro soviet military junta, democracy returned in 1980 and soon after the Volvo plant went too

@@victorsanchez4351 That's really interesting Victor! No wonder there are so many Volvos still in Lima!

That's good to know! It was a new thing for me to experience, I actually kind of liked it. I guess the locals are used to it though!

That's a really interesting point Victor I never considered that it was on the same latitude as Recife in Brazil! You're right they have a completely different climate there. The mountains play a big role in the climate I suppose in Chile as well. Very interesting stuff and shows the incredible diversity of the geography in South America.

@@williamgafrost Hiya William ….also ocean temperature at Limas latitude is 5-7 Celcius degrees less than on the Atlantic side and this is vital to have a rich sea dense with fitoplancton that feeds many small fish species who feed the bigger fishes, a lot ends up as ceviche of course hehehe

@@victorsanchez4351 That's very interesting and good for those countries on the Pacific coastline. Oh so that's where all the ceviche comes from! 😜

Muchas Gracias Maximo! Fue un placer de estar en La Campesina, un restaurante excelente! Comida rica y personal amable!

Thank you Claudia! Yes I had a great time in Peru and am very glad that I went there! The Churro was delicious! I thought manger blanco was a type of blancmange, as we call it here but now you mention it, it did taste like dulce de leche!

Oh right that's cool, thanks for letting me know Claudia! They were really good actually, simple but good. Peruvian food is very diverse.

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

tú no eres de carabayllo?

Lima is fantastic mate, I highly recommend it! Yes they are olive trees that were planted in the Spanish colonial times, 400 years old apparently! Thank you mate and take care.

It is a very cool country Bianca! I liked it a lot! 👍

Muchas gracias, estoy muy agradecido! Seria excelente de conocer Lima en el verano. Saludos desde Canterbury! 😎

Thank you! I always try to get off the beaten track! Yes what a stunning park, incredibly beautiful spot. I found the whole neighbourhood interesting.

Thank you for the recommendations I'll have a look out for those next time I'm in Peru!

I also loved it and can't wait to return when I get the chance!

I agree it's delicious stuff, I just wish I could buy it here in the UK!

That's really interesting! Thank you for sharing that history soft drinks in Peru. That's very cool that it was a British family who started the company. It really has stood the test of time as it's now 90 years old! Never heard of Pasteurina but I'll look it up. Thanks again, fascinating stuff!

It is indeed!

Muchas gracias!

Hi Carmen, thank you very much I really appreciate it! Yes I found Peru to be a beautiful country!

Muchas gracias por las palabras bonitas. Estoy muy feliz que el video ha creado tantas recuerdos bonitos de sus estados en la universidad. Es un parque estupendo con una energía casi mágica! Me alegro.

​@@williamgafrost Gracias 👍

Thank you Sonia! I really appreciate your support my Peruvian friend!
