but here you find a lot you want as a designer,
except for the cows and cow shit.

Huancayo, Peruvian whipping ceremony
We celebrated New Years Eve in Huancayo, Peru.
The founder of Incas del Peru, Lucho Hurtado, invited us to

We burned dolls which were filled with firework and notes about what we wished to leave behind
in the old year and we ate one grape per wish for the new year.
The next day he took us to a hill station where
every New years day there used to be a real whipping ceremony,

The next day he took us to a hill station where
every New years day there used to be a real whipping ceremony,
had you done something "wrong" like stealing or cheating.
You would get judged and whipped in front of your friends, family and neighbours.
In these photos you can see the traditional costume ceremony which is left of the whipping ceremony.
It was beautiful, the colors, the heavy music and all the dancing.
