■ PERU, CUSCO: After taking a bus up to a more economical residential neighborhood than downtown Cusco, it was time to check out Cyrus' home. Actually it isn't his home, but belongs to his sister who also lives there with her family.

The house had 5 rooms, not counting the little studio detached house where Cyrus sits and paints. Real estate prices in Cusco are absolutely unreal compared to what people earn and I was shocked to hear that even a house in this part of Cusco can cost tens of thousands of dollars!
