Life in Peru

Please stop this tontera

Please stop… I don’t want no fancy mall in Qosqo. Why put the embodiment of mindless consumption in the imperial city of the Incas, the last known succesful society without private property…

Todos queremos Jockey Plaza Cusco con Multicines

A movie theater would be cool though :)

  1. I guess there are economic benefits to it, but it does not really go with the whole vibe of the city does it? Sadly though it is probably just a matter of time. Hopefully it will be done tastefully.

  2. I don’t know about economic benefits, most of the big stores are multinationals so you just get low wages and profits that leave the country. In my opinion there would be some tangible benefits to Cusquenians in terms of selection and customer service.

    I agree it’s probably a matter of time but I’m just not a big mall person :)
