Be wary of "bricheros." A "brichero" is a Peruvian slang word for a person (usually men, but sometimes women too) who want to spend time with a foreigner to get something out of him or her (money, free drinks, connections). I once received a Facebook message from a guy at my university who seemed really interested in helping me adjust to classes and living in Lima. Then I checked his Facebook friends and noticed they were almost all American females. Can anyone say "Remove from friends?"

This is funny! The same thing was going on in the town I visited in Ecuador! It was a very small surf town and the local men would assign a point value to girls from different countries that they could get with. So, it is definitely a good thing to watch out in other countries, or one might just end up on someone's 'check-list'.
