I Just Got Peed On

So here I am, running like usual. The same thing I do everyday and I see this boy walk outside by the street. He just looks like he is going to stand outside and not do anything, he wasnt about to run off or start playing with a spare tire that seems to be the only toy of a lot of the children in my town. But the next thing I know this boy pulls up his shirt, arches his back, and begins peeing. His pants arent even down, he isnt standing in a corner, he is 2 feet from me making his pee like a rainbow that arches just enough to get on my leg. OMG, I was like so mad! First off, this whole Peruvian thing where they just pee anywhere and at anytime really irritates me. I mean I understand some of them do not have bathrooms, but go some place secluded where no one will see you. The men in my neighborhood are the worst. The one alley that I have to walk up to get to my house always has the moto taxist peeing there and this alley smells horrible! I am tired of seeing these boys, and girls, peeing on walls, peeing on sidewalks, and peeing on me! I have even seen a mother helping her son pee on the side of a wall in Lima. Maybe I am not peeing culturally sensitive, but goodness! Oh, and the grossest thing I have seen was a big pile of diarhearia (sp) in a middle of a sidewalk next to my training center in Lima. It was obviously from a human, and it was out in the open. But the worst part of it all was there was toilet paper laying right next to it where the person had wiped with. The person obviously was ready for to go poo and was prepared...Why couldnt you have waited till you found a bathroom? It could have been a PCV´s, there have been stories of them not being able to hold it...
