Zombie manaquins of Cusco

We have noticed many differences during our time here in Cusco.

Whenever you order ice cream, you get a spoon shaped like a small snow shovel. Cars don't yield to pedestrians when turning right; or really, at any other time when they can avoid it. There doesn't seem to be much stigma attached to openly peeing in the street. It's common for strangers to wish you "provecho!" (bon-appetite!) whenever they see you eating. A picture of a woman in a bikini could really be an advertisement for *anything*.

One of the more unsettling differences is the wide variety of stricken manaquins that lear silently from the many small shops south of the Plaza de Armas. Here is a short, but, we feel representative, photo gallery.
