I´d like to take the time to mention a few things that I have learned during my stay in Ecuador:
- Grilled guiny pig is a delacasy
- Always carry extra food with you to be able to bribe mean dogs
- Your allowed to pick your nose on a bus and put whatever you can find on the seat in front of you
- ALL garbage is thrown on the ground
- When your asphalting roads you don´t have to smoothen it out
- The Panama hat is from Ecuador
- Very few cars are catalyst-equipped
- I am a wondering dollar sign $
- Never get on a bus while feeling nauseous
- There are foreigners in Ecuador, people do actually imigrate to Ecuador
- Everythings closed on Sundays
- The post office may actually be closed on a Friday, but will reopen on a Saturday
- If your starting to sell something be sure that everyone in your village will be selling the same shit in a couple of days
Good to know when going to Ecuador! And yes kids do play football (soccer) in the streets.
