3G. Weather If you live in Lima, especially in Miraflores, you�ll be battling with humidity in the winter. Some tips are to buy potpourri bags or �bola seca� and put these in your closets and dressers to help absorb the moisture and smell. Other people have uses peppercorns or rice. Be sure to change them often. Also try to keep the closet doors and dresser drawers open for air to circulate. Try airing out your flat everyday as well. If you live close to the sea, you�ll have to take more dramatic measures. There are three possibilities: buy metal tubes that you plug in (put these in your closet), buy a dehumidifier, or buy a heater. All of these can be found at Hiraoka, Ace Hardware, or Sodimac. They may cost between 100 and 600 soles, but it�s worth it.

5A. There are many clubs around Peru, including the HHH http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LimaHHH/ which usually meets on Saturdays. If you're into theatre, try The Good Companions.

5D. If you�re in Lima and want to find bargain there are plenty of places you can go to. You can go to Gamarra, which is famous for its low prices, located in La Victoria. It goes on for blocks and people come from Chile and Ecuador to take advantage of the cheap prices. There are buses that�ll take you there on Aviacion. Many shops have sales at the end of the season (August or February). Ripley and Saga often have great sales. Some shops on Larco, near Ovalo Miraflores have good prices as well, though the quality might not be as good. Polvos Rosados which is near Ovalo Higuereta is known to foreigners and Peruvians alike, but the prices are a bit high. A better bet would be to go across the street to Polvos de Higuereta, prices are better, it�s cleaner and there�s better lighting. There are also galleries next to Polvos Rosados, they�re located between Polvos Rosados and the Ovalo. Places to get manicures, pedicures, hair cuts and other spa treatments can be found in Sant Rosa, which is next to Polvos de Higuereta and the galleries next to Polvos Rosados. Polvos Azules, in Lima on 28 de Julio, near Flores, is another possibility, however, the quality varies and it�s not the best neighbourhood.
