Let me talk to you about one of my favorites drinks: “Pisco sour”.

Pisco (from Quechua: pisqu, “little bird”) is an alcoholic brandy-like liquor distilled from grapes (40-45% alcohol).

Pisco sour is the national peruvian drink, containing Pisco , lime juice, egg whites, simple syrup, and regional bitters.

Here is the recipe I normally use to make 2 to 3 servings of this wonderful drink:

- 3/4 cup pisco

- 3 tablespoon sugar

- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice

- 2 egg white

In a blender, whirl 8 ice cubes, egg white & sugar, then add pisco and lime juice, whirl until smooth (you’ll no longer hear the ice cracking against the side of the blender) and serve straight up with a wedge of lime.

Salud!

Modern Toilet is a Taipei restaurant.

It accommodates 100 seats with each made from toilet bowls. The specialties at the restaurant accompany sink faucets and gender-coded “WC” signs that appear on the three-story structure. The food is served in mini plastic toilet bowls. The toilet rolls that serve for wiping hand and mouth are hung above the tables, which may resemble glass-topped jumbo bathtubs.

Just remember: Always keep the cameras rolling!

I saw the newest movie few days ago, excited to know that this time they were going to talk about my country.

It may be a fiction movie, but I honestly think that every director, writer or whoever is in charge of the plot, should do their homework and learn more about the culture, the people, the music, and most of all the geography of the country they will talk about in their movies.
I mean we are talking about “professionals” who will get paid millions for making good movies for the audience. And I think that audience and fans deserve better.

Here a few of the unbelievable mistakes from the last Indiana Jones movie:

-The Nazca Lines are located in Nazca- Peru a west coast city, and not in Cuzco a south-east city, as they say in the movie.

-The music that is played while they landed in Peru, at an airport that doesn’t exist, is a Mexican “ranchera” music.

-In the movie Indiana mention that he learned Quechua (a native Peruvian language spoken by the Incas) from Pancho Villa, a Mexican revolution hero.

-The pyramid of Chichen Itza is located in Mexico and not in the Peruvian jungle.

Anyway I can go on with the list, but I dont want to ruin the “magic” of the Indy’s movies.
In my opinion, I wont recommend the movie because I think they don’t respect the audience enough to get a 3rd grade History book or to “google” it and study more about my beautiful country and my culture.
