Before I receive comments about the title of this blog, let me give you my definition of "Gringo Asnaso". In Peru the term "gringo" is used for any foreigner, regardless of the country of origin. It is NOT a derogatory term, but rather an identifier of a foreigner, nothing more. Asnaso is Quechua for "stinkey", therefor Gringo Asnaso can be roughly translated to "stinky gringo".
Now why would I name my site "stinky gringo"? Well because it also happens to be a weird term of endearment that my wife uses to engender my affections when she is being ironic.
So there you have it. Besides, I like the sound of it. Who knows, it may become a line for products for us here in Tarapoto Peru.
