A softdrink that tastes like a bubble gum.

Thats right. Inca kola, the Peruvian equivalent of Coca Cola in the rest of the world, which was recently purchased by Coca Cola yet retains its unique taste. It is bright yellow and tastes like bubble gum.

Long time ago, in many of the fictions, I have read about Peru and their unique culture. I have been gathering tit bits of amusing information on Peru and once in way I refer them just to pass time. Most of the information here are gathered from internet but mainly from wikitravel.

• Pisco Sour. An alcoholic drink with a interesting ingredients list, such as egg whites, that is the main drink in Peru and is available in most places in Huaraz. It is made from pisco, a kind of brandy that is worth a try.
  

• Emoliente. Another popular drink in Peru, often sold in the streets by vendors for 50 centimos (approximately 16 cents US). Served hot, its flavor is best described as a thick, viscuous tea, but surprisingly refreshing - depending on what herb and fruit extracts you choose to put into it, of course. Normally the vendor's mix will be good enough if you choose not to say anything, but you're free to select the mix yourself.
  

I have many more drinks in my decanter collected from across the globe.

Thank you wikitravel!

Do you know Devil's Throat?

The word IGUAZU that appeared in my local daily 'The Hindu' made me look up on it in Wikipedia.

I simply was not that much interested in Quattrocchi on whom the news story was published on the front page. While I was just glancing through, I read that he was first arrested in the tourist spot of IGUAZU, home to the world's largest waterfall.

That did the trick to arouse my curiosity because I always was enchanted by the magnificence
of water falls. Water has got some terrific pulling force-is it not?

Wikipedia says Iguazu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná (in the Southern Region) and the Argentine province of Misiones.

The waterfall system consists of about 270 falls along 2.7 kilometres (1.67 miles) of the Iguazu River. 270 falls along 2.7 km! That must be breath taking really.

The Garganta del Diablo or Devil's Throat, a U-shaped 150-metre-wide and 700-metre-long cliff, is the most impressive of all, and marks the border between Argentina and Brazil.

See the image below of the Devi's Throat. Please notice the fading rainbow on the water.



Here is an amusing legend that says that a God pretended to marry a beautiful aborigine named Naipú, who fled with her mortal lover in a canoe. In rage, the God sliced the river creating the waterfalls, condemning the lovers to an eternal fall.

I am going to visit this place one day and will post more grand images here.

Your friendly insurance mall.

Very aptly named, Insurance Portal Online is literally an insurance mall that sells just about every insurance policy we need. Mostly our first priority is of course Life Insurance; well it is for me as far as I am concerned. What about you?

Insurance Portal Online’s life insurance quoting engine will definitely make life easier for you. A short form of questions to be filled out in a couple of seconds and you will be presented with various options by their customer service man.

I just now filled out the form online and hit ‘Compare now’ button. The next page showed offers from as many as 63 different options with a button alongside to request an application. How very simple and fast all the hassle is!

Are you prioritizing Auto Insurance because you have just graduated and do not have a big family to bother with Life Insurance? Yes, I was like that when I was a teenager when I just bought my first two wheeler scooter.

A very convenient way of getting the lowest insurance quote is through online insurance portals where one just needs to answer a few short questions and allow an agent to contact us offering the best rates.

Wait! Getting the best possible quote for a home owner’s policy too involves nothing more than what I wrote above.

One thing I noticed; their website loads lightening fast. Insurance Portal Online is a professional and dependable organization in the making.
