Isabel Guerra
With the intention to have a short vacation and to learn more about our culture, the former actor and film director Ron Howard arrived in Peru and visited Machu Picchu citadel, which has been recently nominated as one of the new wonders of the world.
The popular "Richie Cunningham" (his character in "Happy Days" TV series) took the train from the station of Ollantaytambo, but he went completely unnoticed there, like any other tourist.
However, after a while he was recognized by some of the passengers, who asked him to pose for some photographs.
The director of "Apollo" did not refuse, and agreed to share some moments with his fans.
Once they arrived in Machu Picchu, he started the tour with the help of a guide, and was seen recording and taking notes carefully of all the explanations.

Peruvian housekeeper wins case against Kobe Bryant
by
Gruenbeck & Vogeler
Gruenbeck & Vogeler
IRVINE – A state appeals court has ruled against Kobe and Vanessa Bryant for trying to stop their former housekeeper from receiving unemployment benefits.
The California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board affirmed the decision of Administrative Law Judge Mary McInerny, who said that Maria Jimenez quit because her employer repeatedly addressed her in a disrespectful and assaulting tone.
“(The Bryants) required her to perform tasks that were repugnant and demeaning,” the judge said. “The claimant found working in this environment stressful and ultimately decided after a particularly upsetting incident with the supervisor that she could not return to the employment.”
Jimenez, in a separate civil suit against the Bryants, claims that Vanessa Bryant continuously berated her and ordered her to put her hand in dog feces. Jimenez also alleges in the civil suit that the Bryants reneged on their duty to provide health insurance and to pay overtime wages.
“I am happy about the judge’s decision because I need unemployment,” Jimenez said.
Under state and federal laws, Jimenez may draw up to 26 weeks of unemployment with extensions for another 56 weeks. She receives $326 a week.
The Bryants, through their attorneys, fought the unemployment claim in three different proceedings. After losing two hearings, they appealed to the unemployment insurance appeals board. That decision became final on May 1, 2009.

Fujimori's sentence relator says "I didn't want to go to the restroom."
LivingInPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
Yanet Carazas Garay, the Court Relator who read aloud the 247 fundamental principles of Alberto Fujimori's sentence for almost 3 hours, whithout pausing even for a drink, explained today why she refused even a glass of water.
"I didn't drink anything because I was afraid of having the urge of going to the restrooms," she said. "As workers, we are very careful, unbiased and professionals" remarked Carazas, who's been working for more than 10 years for the Justice Department.
Carazas also confessed she's fond of reading literature during her free time, especially the poetry of Cesar Vallejo, Pablo Neruda and Federico García Lorca.
This was not the first time Carazas reads a sentence, but Fujimori's sentence has 711 folios, 8,390 paragraphs, 1,258 footnotes, and it was written on Century font size 11.
However, the record for the longest judicial sentence read would correspond to relator Erasmo Benavides, who read aloud during 7 hours (in 2005) the sentence to the 20 accused for the "prensa chicha" (tabloids) scandal.
Caraza's performance has made her suddenly very popular in Peru, and Facebook users have created a fans' group to honor her notable talent for reading aloud.

Living in Peru
Israel J. Ruiz
As Johnnie Walker's worldwide ambassador, two-time Formula 1 champion Mika Pauli Häkkinen came to Peru for the first time last week.
The Finnish racing driver, Michael Schumacher's greatest rival in F1 from 1998-2000, came to the Andean country to promote the Johnnie Walker Pact, an agreement being signed around the world not to drive drunk.
"The Flying Finn" was in Lima on Saturday afternoon for the official signing of the pact, which was held at the Huaca Pucllana with a spectacular party and a special demonstration with a Mercedes E-class.
Häkkinen taught a few special guests how to drive the brand new luxury vehicle thinking like a Formula 1 driver.
Even though it has been 10 years since Mika won his first Formula 1 championship, he was received by guests and media as if he had taken the title yesterday.
Livinginperu.com had a few minutes with Mika and discovered he was thoroughly enjoying his stay. When asked what he liked most about the country, the Finnish star affirmed it was the delicious food.
He assured he wanted to return to explore more of Peru, stating he would be back as early as next year.
So that Häkkinen would remember his experience in the Andean country, our Editor in Chief Carsten Korch made sure to give him a copy of "101 Reasons to be Proud of Peru", which Mika said he would share with family and friends after his Latin American tour.
