Selling fish,catching flies

摘要

VILLA MARIA DEL TRIUNFO, a poor district in Lima, Peru's capital, is best known for its sprawling wholesale fish market. Trucks from the city's 13,000 cev-iche restaurants queue up before doors open at 4am for the best seafood. Soon, however, the fishermen may have to contend with a different sort of catch. The neighbourhood is now home to a baseball stadium, built for the Pan-American games, which Peru is due to host in July for the first time. The government is hoping that the games will kindle a love for sport still obscure in Peru: there are also venues for archery, field hockey and water polo.
