Observations in Pisco haze

Hi First time doing this , but have been thinking about it for a while , but most of the time my conclusion has been that why would anybody really care what I´m up to . But just realised I don`t care if people don`t care I just want this to be sort of my diary so when I´m older and have forgotten what I was up to I can hopefully remember to look at this !

Well here I am its the 14th feb 2010 (Valentines day ) and I`m in Asia Peru , Asia Peru is a real "funny" place. For a start why is it called Asia ? No idea will try and find out . Why am I here ? Because we have a house here and spend the winter (here is summer) here from end December till after Easter . Asia it`s 100 km from Lima it`s where the Limeneans spend their weekends and holidays between Dec and may . I would say the beach is maybe 10 km long and there are maybe 30 different urbanisation`s along the coast line . They are all very nice as it looks to be a competition among the owners who has the best looking house . We are in an Urbanisation called Play del Golf , Yeeessss Golf they opened a golf course last year it`s just behind the Bora Bora , Playa del Sol and Playa Golf Urbanisation . It´s a very nice Golf course and in excellent condition I will no doubt come back to Golf during my Blogging .
Yesterday we where invited to a party , Party is really the favourite pastime of the people here , there is always a party going on , yesterday was Santiago `s birthday Santiago is one of our neigbours here he own a Pisco and Wine "factory" . He is almost always drunk (maybe thats a litte unfair ) , but of course he has free Pisco and wine ....He speaks with a real rrrrring sound and although my spanish is getting better I can never really understand him , the others are struggeling too. he calls me Gringo which is ok because I am . Again yesterday was his birthday I have no Idea how old he is I assume around my age or slightly older . He has a girlfriend as he is divorced she is a little younger I would say 45 or so , she has a nice ass , but that`s about all.
Yesterday I think there must have been about a 100 people in his do , It`s said to be starting at 9 we arrived at 10 and there where not many people then , but from then on untill 12:30 a steady flow of people , we got free Pisco and wine , but I did not realise so we ordered Burbon and Cuba Libre so we had to pay for that . The do was in the Club house of Playa Golf a quite "funky" looking place next to the huge pool , it`s a restaurant and bar during normal days . He served Sushi which I did not eat and then the ever present Paella ? What is it with the Spanish speaking and Paella I have never got it they spend hours and hours to make it and in the end its a mix of rice and in this case pork and chicken , peas, beans etc etc . The chines call it fried rice and whip it up in a few minutes and quite frankly I think it tastes better .
They even have special cooks brought in to make the Paella , with big huge pans etc . These people yesterday I think had some problems as the food was not ready until almost 1 am . Before (and after) there where dancing . The dancing here seem to
