Getting to Know Our Neighbors to the South
It's been a while since I've posted anything. Time to get back. I was recently chatting with a friend who's based in Lima. We were discussing free trade agreements and international exports between nations. That discussion got me looking a little bit at some of these economies in the Americas and how little most of the US knows about our neighbors south of the border. Last year, for example, (according to the Economist), Peru had a higher rate of GDP growth than China and is expected to remain higher than any Latin American country this year. I didn't know that - did you?

I didn't know that either--and I'm Peruvian! I'm going to have to read your posts to keep myself updated :-)
