so i am in quito! not far from the equator ..i think it is about a half an hour drive. but that really isn´t important. anyways, i am going to talk about some things that are very different in equator.
1. there are never any hooks for your backpack in any of the bathroom stalls. never! people probably always put their stuff on the ground. its not like people pee on the ground, but still--bathroom floors are not typically sanitary surfaces.
2. people hiss at you less here than they do in bolivia. they still stare (this girl punched her boyfriend because he was checking me out..that was pretty funny), but they do not hiss.
And those are all the differences. well not really, but those are the fun ones to mention. :)
People here are pretty nice...except for the lady who sold me my phone card. Sh sold me a phone card (which i paid for) and then sold me a new sim-card (or chip as they call it here) and as i was paying for my chip, she claimed that i had not paid her for the phone card. ¡PUTA! it was actually pretty upsetting because i didnt really have any money for the rest of the day, and i was pretty hung over and i wanted a churro.
and why did i not have money? because that "universal" PLUS symbol on my debit cards (denoting which bank machines you can get money from without being charged) is not so universal. apparently only one bank in quito accepts my card. And that bank had problems with their bank machine today. awesome!!
but i dont want this post to get too long, so i will stop it now. stop!
