The people here are incredibly hospitable. Diana tells me that overall, the city/country is trying to rid the awful stereotype of being a corrupt country, so it's certainly a step in the right direction.
There is a lady at the studio that brings me coffee twice a day and makes sure my glass is full of water at all times. She asked me something on day 1 and once I hesitated, she would always ask someone to translate for her.
One day I asked if there was milk for my coffee and later that day, she had brought me a big bag of powdered milk (insider's tip: it still tastes like black coffee but looks lighter).
One of the guys I trained (and I'm pretty sure he'll be the best one) gave me a fun snack to take home called Bocadillo de guayaba con arequipe. Like the women, many things around here have long drawn out names. It's made from guava and something similar to caramel, but if you call it caramel you will be corrected immediately.
People everywhere have been very polite and kind, which makes this sort of trip a lot easier.
