Just a few random things about Ecuador....
1. To anyone who has ever felt that their life was in danger while riding in a car with me... Come to Ecuador and you will realize that I am, in fact, an excellent driver. Seriously.
2. One of Ecuador´s main exports is flowers. You can buy 25 roses here for one dollar. ONE dollar!!!
3. Likewise, if you ever need 100 limes, you´ll only need to spend one dollar.
4. No employee in the public sector can make more than $4000 per month, or $48,000 per year..because that´s what the President makes.
5. Personal space in public does not exist. Riding a bus here feels like you´re in a mosh pit.
6. The president, Rafael Correa, is pretty controversial and generally described as either Socialist or Communist. I think it´s fair to say socialist is more accurate...
7. A taxi driver told me that the climate here ´es variable como las mujeres´ (is variable like women). ha. One minute it´s sunny and warm.... 5 minutes later the sky is dark, it´s 20 degrees cooler and raining. The other day it hailed. LOCO.
8. Milk is not refrigerated here.
9. I´m going to take salsa lessons!!!

Thanks for the info. It's nice to learn a little more about where your living. Funny stuff too!
Hello from the Steigerwalds -
We heard that we should visit this blog immediately, as we have been debating the price of limes in Ecuador. Thanks for setting the dispute.
