Peru in little India

I am bit late updating news so they are not that new anymore, but still...

One of things which I didn’t do during my AI term was having a proper Peruvian presentation and show my team the wonders of my country…

When my company was doing an Spanish presentation and they asked me to convert it into an Hispanic presentation, I got excited about the idea. After 2 weeks of coordination and 3 members of the Hispanic crew down (we were initially 3 Spanish, 1 Colombian and 2 Peruvians), we hosted the Hispanic day in the main board room of the company at 5pm on a Thursday…

It was great! Starting with the fact that I went through the floor and randomly invited people to join the presentation. Of course I had to give e little introduction of myself after a couple of attempts to people with a I-have-no-idea-who-you-are face. It was indeed my first presentation to most of the company.

We presented ourselves in Spanish followed by a creative live fairy-tale of the colonization of America. It was great cause we would take different roles as being the voice of the “Spaniards” or the “natives” or the story teller, etc.

The good thing is that 3 of us were actually fun cause we did had fun.
After this day, I find randomly people in the elevator that ask me “your are from south India right?” teasing me as a result of a joke I did about people in the company believed that Peru was in the south of India. I mean there is a city which name I don’t remember, and I don’t look necessarily British so that’s the most natural option that come to their mind…

At the end of the day, we had nice Peruvian and Spanish food (which by mistake was mostly non-vegetarian, but almost nobody notice jiji).
