...when in quito

I guess it must be that when you live in a place forever, its beyond your comprehension that other ways of life exist. That being said, Ecuador is not the states; and as we study abroaders say, "it's not good, it's not bad, it's just different." fun differences, i've gathered from days 1,2&3-

-creating a line of broken bottles on a fence is a common (albeit a bit unsightly) security measure here.
-no screens on the windows.
-the customer (me) is not alway right. Today I asked for lettuce and tomato on my sandwich and the waitress politely, but firmly, said no. because it was a hot sandwich. : (
-every family has dog. these dogs only make noise from 5-7am. some of said dogs wear clothes.
-high heels up hill, totally nbd.
-ecuadorians pay their bills in a physical place not through the mail. As in there is something similar to a currency exchange where sometimes, you can wait in like for up to 45 minutes and pay for your water and gas.


that being said, i'm loving the wierdness. i'm soaking it up and still trying to figure it out. Still no pictures, really out of choice. I'm just not a picture person- go read Sharon Chun's blog for all that. : )
