Cusco, Peru - part VI

www.new7wonders.com - this is a very actual thing here in Cusco at the moment... posters are everywhere and they have active campaigns for voting all over the place. final decision will be announced on the 7th of July.

now i´m done with my spanish lessons :) i found out today that one of my teachers has just finished school for becoming a dentist... so i guess they don´t require a degree in teaching in that school :)

a bit more about the languages here.. official language is spanish of course... but there is also the language of old Inca empire called Quechuan.. there are about 5 milj. people who speak only Quechuan and 13 milj. people who speak both Quechuan and spanish (this is according to our guide at the Inca trail - Victor) and it does not sound anything like spanish at all... we were able to hear the language in Inca trail as the porters mostly spoke in Quechuan.

during lunch time today i managed to do some sightseeing and went to 3 museums. in the evening i managed to make it to their national theater :) it was a show for tourists with national dances and music. felt like i went back in time for about 20 years :D

Tere! Enne mind on Sulle saadetud mingid jamad kirjad. Issuga olime Eismal Tiina Uutmaa juures. Silvy hoidis Murkat. Oled ajanud mul vere keema huvitavate faktidega. Stardin homme Lissaboni. Tagasi tulles olen samuti infost tulvil. Kardan, et portugali keelt ma ei suuda selle ajaga omandada. Kui palju Sa hispaania keelest juba aru saad? Kallistan ! Ema.
