Peru Trip Days 8 & 9: Walking in the Past...
So here it is, finally was able to take a shot of my home from years ago. It's amazing how I used to remember it and how it looks now. The only thing that hasn't changed is that tree in the front that keeps blooming those flowers that look like bells. Lets take a look back at my old neighborhood and of course, food food food!

Peru Trip Day 4 & 5: Relaxing Days
I have been relaxing for the past two days after all the hunt. It's so good to be able to finally relax instead of hunting pirate carts down. That was the main point for vacationing. I have been going out to some places I forgot to talk about. I won't put them in chronological order but be sure to check them out.

Peru Trip Day 1: Comic Book Hentai Madness!
So I'm not going to count my arrival as a day over here since I arrived late and tired and late! Anyways, I pretty much spent time with the family and caught up on things but that doesn't mean I didn't had my eyes out for video game related stuff. Lets be a little naughty for today!
I had a great time walking in Miraflores with my sister. So many stores and so little time to check them out. She mentioned of a place where they sell mangas so I told her we should check it out. As you can see it's packed with comic books and mangas.
Here is some interesting artwork on the wall. There is just so much to check out but I'm sure that someone more into the art of drawing can relate to these more than I can, after all video games are my thing after all.
They had some weird comic books here including one with fake Dragon Ball Z characters and some other bizarre twists.
There was also a hot naughty hentai section! Awww yeah I was staring at this section for the most part as it had some really interesting cover arts as you can see! Lots of stuff to love wink wink!
So anyways, how does everything here relates to video games? Here is the answer! There was a sexy Metal Gear Solid novel for the first game. That's all you need to know! Either way, anime and video games have a bigger relation with each other than what people give them credit for. There is just something about them that when you combine them, you get some amazing! Just look at all the sexy J-RPGs out there.So that's about it for day one, tomorrow will be another day and one with lots of stuff to show that's for sure!
Famicom Freak is in Lima, Peru!
After a long flight I have landed! I will go all out this time around! Be sure to keep up with the updates! I can't wait for tomorrow!!

Retro Gaming Life Returning to Peru!
It's about time for a return as I booked my trip to Peru and will be leaving in two and a half weeks. I'm going to be hunting down the most unique pirates out there as well as visiting family and relaxing of course. It's going to be an awesome time and I can't wait for it to come. I'll be sure to update my trips daily (Probably better than the last trip two years ago) I will also try to post videos and lots of photos of where I go and what I find. Don't you just find this very educational? Retro Gaming Life is ready to pack its bags and go as well!!!

Son of a beach! Laptop DVDR broken!~
Man this really bites. Only two days left until I go away and the DVDR drive of my laptop doesn't work. It keeps spitting the discs out! Oh well not like I use discs at all but still. That really pissed me off. I'll check out if I can get it fixed during my trip because down there things are a lot cheaper. Anyways, that's about it, until next time fack!

The days are coming closer
Oh man I can't believe in four days I'll be off on vacation of a lifetime! This will be an amazing journey with vast dungeons and intriguing allies! hmm not really but it'll be a lot of fun. I'll be sure to bring my camera to show you guys my hometown and the place where I grew up. Also, if there are any game finds down there I'll be more than happy to show them off(mostly pirates I bet). These coming two weeks will be a time for me to relax and refocus on what I want to do in life. There are so many things I have to do when I go that it might not be a vacation after all! Well, I'll keep you guys posted!
