It’s much bigger. Buenos Aires, the city itself, has only 3 million people (the metropolitan area has another 12 million). Lima, the city itself has almost 10 million, and the metropolitan area has I don’t know how many millions more.

The Chinese originally arrived here in the 1850s as indentured servants. (Setting aside the mystical theories of the 15th century Star Fleet and its supposed arrival in the early 1400s.) There’s a quick read article on the history here.

I never knew much about Lima (nor about Peru in general). How big is it compard to BA? Also, how and why did Chinese get there? That hangar steak looks delicious.
