Latest Dating and Basketball in AQP, Peru
Posted on 27. Aug, 2008 by Colin in peru
I have two potential girlfriend-replacements. However, I was pretty drunk when I met each one and almost didn’t remember what they looked like. They’re attractive but not girlfriend material.
Anita the lawyer came to watch my basketball game. She comes from a basketball family and later admitted that she wanted me after hearing what team I play for. After the game we went out. She mentioned her three year-old daughter. We made out.
We met again Saturday after I had lunch with Rosa. We had a more extended makeout session on my couch. I was very drunk when I met her. She isn’t ugly but not every guy would call her beautiful. She’s a great kisser with big lips. Most important, she really enjoys crave physical pleasure. I can tell because when I do things her eyes roll in the back of her head and she gets completely lost in the moment, even moaning softly.
My new Swiss buddy Nicolas’ welcoming party was that night at our apartment. While eating, Anita’s mom called to tell her that her daughter was coughing. Anita decided to be with her daughter, which was good news for me.
I met Sonia two weeks prior and we’d been playing phone tag. Sonia just finished her psychology degree and is looking for work anywhere in Peru. At the party, we made out in the kitchen most of the night. We joined the rest of the party to dance for a few songs, but promptly returned to the kitchen to make out. Sonia is a little plump with huge boobs and a cute face. She also has a huge tongue which almost engulfs mine. It feels nice. She doesn’t seem the freak Anita is, but she dances sexy – which was why I met her at the club.
I don’t do bad in the States and I always have beautiful girls, but I rarely juggle them like this. I have the exotic factor. Imagine that foreign kid in high school with the accent. All the girls were interested in him. That’s me here. Peruvian guys will call the girls “bricheras” and say they’re only interested in the visa or money. Americans say this too. There’s surely some of that going on, but it’s exaggerated. Haters.
My basketball team played our first game of the finals Friday night. There are usually about 50 fans who pay the S/. 2.50 entrance fee to see a regular season game. For the finals the stadium was packed. Among the side rafters, I counted at least fifty people in the other team’s band / spirit group. They had drums, horn instruments, three or four flags, and three or four banners. Our spirit group had about thirty. Theirs was louder. I’d estimate 400 – 500 people were in attendance.
I never played high school sports. I fought in an amateur boxing match with a similar crowd watching, but you forget all about them as soon as you get hit in the head. For this game I was nervous during practice layups. We got dominated. At one point, the score was 21 – 4. We closed the gap to about ten, where it stayed most of the game.
I’ve questioned whether being on this team is worth the commitment of four nights a week. If I miss a practice, the coach calls to ask where I was. I thought playing sports would calm the increasing stress from living here, but the seriousness of this team creates more stress in my life.

Colin, I know this is an old post, but I’m curious about the following quote,
“I thought playing sports would calm the increasing stress from living here”
You have since moved to Colombia after this post, so I have a question. Is living in south america still causing you stress? Or was it something particular about Peru? Or simply post “honeymoon period” culture shock?
I’m sick of the rat race of the USA and I have become obsessed with moving down to peru or colombia in order to REDUCE my stress, but the idea that it could actually increase stress is new to me.
Your thoughts on your current stress levels?
