Thanks for posting, this wasn't on my radar.

I'm sure the CIA is working on how to fuck Castillo's tenure up, I hope the best for him.

From what I understand, he won't need CIA's help to fuck up his tenure; Peru's own Congress will handle that.

Yeah, I didn't even know there was an election going on there until I decided to check the latest international headlines. Figured it was worth sharing here.

Then I got curious why one of the candidates appeared to be a Japanese woman, and it sent me down a rather interesting Wikipedia rabbit hole. Apparently, thousands of Japanese left Japan for Brazil and Peru in the early 20th century. The article went on to talk about Japanese/Peruvian fusion cuisine, and now I really want to taste that.
