10 Australians have an official residence permit

Despite tedious bureaucratic procedures the mood is excellent

Everyone who lives and works in Peru must be able to prove his identity.  The State requires every foreigner to have a Carné Extranjería.  Yesterday family Welch received the desired chip cards from Cusco’s Immigration Office.  It all went like clockwork; only Mummy Sandi has to wait a little longer: one issuing authority in Lima misplaced her Interpol documents.  But 9 out of 10 is a very respectable success rate.

Family Welch lives in a big mud house in the middle of the countryside.  Compared to what they were used to in Sydney their standard of living in Curahuasi has decreased substantially.  Fortunately, though, a true pioneer lives in most Australians.
