Hi everyone,

I arrived in Lima last week and I�m currently pounding the pavements with my C.V. More than likely, I�ll go for the easy option and work for institutions on my tourist visa. However, I�d also like to open a bank account here. Will the likelihood of me working illegally make this difficult?
Also, as a new boy in town, I don�t know many folk here yet. Though I�ve enjoyed meeting those Peruvians I have so far, labouring my nominal Spanish is frazzling my brain & I yearn for a conversation in English. Would any charitable souls out there fancy meeting up for a drink sometime?

Thanks, Kenny

Try BCP or Interbank for bank accounts, heard you can open one with a passport. I might be able to meet up, but just got in and am waiting for jetlag to set in

Ok, thanks. Let me know when you�re re-established here. And please, bring along friends as well. I need to get into the loop a wee bit more here.

Ok, try also expatperu.com and livinginperu.com to meet people. HOnestly, I've got my plate full job searching and gutting our house, maybe in March?

No bother, I�ll try the other sites.

Hey, finally got settled in and got a job, if you want to meet for coffee or something, let me know
