Any hackers in South America? Invitation to lunch. Te invito.

Specifically, I'll be in Lima, Peru this week. I love talking to smart people wherever I go. Hacker News self-selects for great people, so I'd love to meet you if you're somewhere in Lima while I am. If you're in another city down south, I don't think I'll be able to visit on this trip, but maybe on another trip I'll pass through and we can watch play fútbol. Tell me about yourself! Oh, first a little about me: I like mathematics, I was born in Miami, and I have a blog (jperla.com/blog).

You should visit Buenos Aires, Argentina too. There are a lot of software companies here, and lots of web 2.0 development too (also big companies have buildings here, ie Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, etc etc etc; Google has its Latin American offices in Buenos Aires too). Check http://palermovalley.com/ http://palermovalley.com/ if you are interested in Web 2.0 in BA.

  Ha! Don't you dare to try to put Buenos Aires in the same league of São Paulo and Campinas... What... wrong place for rivalry between Brazil and Argentina? I guess we'll have to wait until the football game tomorrow night.

    Google has only a sales office in Argentina. Its south american development is in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

      Google also does development in Argentina through Globant, but it's not a lot as far as I know.

    Why did you post this? Did you think I was trying to say anything about Brazil or any other country? Because I wasn't, and I didn't even mention other countries at all. I was not doing a comparation, but I was only telling this person that coming to Buenos Aires could be useful to him. Maybe going to Brazil could be useful too (I have great references on Brazil industry), you could tell him that. But this is definitely not the place for any rivalry... and I wish there was no place for such rivalry elsewhere at all, too.
