A visit to the "Gringo" mall and a classy restaurant...

So, I decided to go to the "Gringo" mall tonight for a little American crap food (yes, my body was missing it). So I went to Pizza Hut, ordered some food, and thought I sounded pretty Peruvian doing so. So well, it turns out, the woman at the counter responded in spanish at the speed of sound. "rrrrrrr _________" My response, "Ahhh...Pepsi....ahhhh....si?"
"Claro, rrrrrr_______"
Hand over my $/10 (soles). Smile and hope everything is ok.
"Que es su nombre?"
"Ryan." Yes, I got this one.
"Fryan?"
"Ah, si, Ryan."
I take my change, walk away and see my name is now "Fran." What terrible parents I must have to name me "Fran!" I think I'm going to have to come up with a spanish name. Any suggestions...?!?

Also, I took the picture above covertly. The woman in the orange was the most pregnant woman I had ever seen. You can't tell very well from the picture, but I think she had an 8 year old boy in there!

Below are pictures of my $/18 soles lunch (aka $6!). Yes, I may be getting fat...
