So cool! Theres something very intersting about the chinese people in Peru as well.
At the end of the 19th century, there was something like a "gold run" in Peru for a material called guano - which its literaly the excrements of bats and other birds combined. They were found in caves and in remote islands close to Peru's coast. This was a very useful fertilizer to use in plantations.
A lot of chinese started to migrate to Peru in that time, but this didnt end well - a lot of them got stuck in their jobs, like a legal "slavery" working full day and night. Guano was exported all over the world and their prices sky rocket.
I think this ChinaTown in Lima was very influenced by this migration.
Anyway, amazing post, congratulations!
Thats an interesting bit of info thanks. Who would have thought shit would be worth so much!!!
