1 . Peru is a South American country and it has 1.2 million square kilometres, 32 million people. Peru has a variety of climates, cultures, customs, a splendid history, etc. It is divided into 25 regions. Some regions still continue to suffer poverty because of mismanagement of the country’s resources by the government.

However, in urban areas the job opportunities are very rich. The economic growth and private investments have risen over the years: it has created more jobs and a better lifestyle for Peruvian people. In some regions of Peru, tourism is the first source of income. There are many opportunities for those who want to work by doing handicrafts, painting, traditional jewelry and other art jobs.

Peru has very friendly, warm and attentive people. You will find plenty of touristic attractions throughout the country as well as diverse climates. The Peruvian food is known for its good taste and variety. Peru is an old and traditional country. Throughout the year Peruvians celebrate many festivals like the Corpus Christy, Easter, Fest of San Juan and many others.

To move in, you should hire a moving company. Remember, Peruvian moving companies know what to do; your belongings will arrive in good conditions. They usually use trucks and the moving costs vary according to the number of workers, and the amount of fuel and boxes used. So you need to provide information to the movers about the number, size and fragility of your belongings. Talk with the moving company. Ask them about the packing process. Also, ask them if they offer some type of insurance in case an object is damaged during the trip.

Moving to Peru can be a great experience. Once you have finished the whole moving process, you can plan to visit each region of this country where you can find many different touristic attractions.

2 . How can you recognize a British, a German, and a Frenchman, apart from their accents and names?

There are ways people dress, but they are very complex and would take a lot of time to explain. Some items of clothing are just more popular in some countries than in others. For example, Germans often wear sandals (凉鞋) with their socks on, which is something a Frenchman would normally never do. In Berlin, where I live, people don’t really dress as smart as they would in Paris or London. The Germans have a reputation for not caring so much about their outward appearance — as long as the clothes are comfortable, they’re happy! They also seem to love sportswear more than people anywhere else.

The French cannot queue, while the British just seem to love it. French people are always late, British people are always on time and the Germans are always early.

French people use their hands a lot more when they speak, and take a lot more time to say something. French people care a lot how things are done or said. The British do care how things are done and said, but only in a context of politeness. The Germans just care how things are done. The French and the British seem to care more how things look, for example, food products and packaging.

When it comes to food, for example in a restaurant, a Frenchman would never think of ordering beer with a meal, which is something tally normal for a German or a British.

I find the Germans the cleanest and most disciplined in public space. The French are the worst and the British somehow in between.
