how to?: a step by step account of a package coming to Ecuador

I always find a mailing address rather helpful, so I made sure to secure one before coming down to Ecuador, in case I should need any mail. I have successfully received post cards, letters, absentee ballots and packages. However, you never can tell when things will arrive, or how long it'll take...

turkeys in Ecuador?

Turkeys aren't so popular, though I know they exist and some people will be eating them. This year for Thanksgiving--a small Thanksgiving meal with my housemates (Megan, Ellie, and Liza) when I finally get out of here tonight. Then an ELF! date with Liz back home...a wonderful Thanksgiving...

no te vayas, vida de mi corazon

Last night after work, we piled into cabs and found ourselves at the olympic stadium (though they've never held the Olympics in Ecuador...) with music eminating from the interior. Outside the main entrance were many of the ususual suspects--people of all ages standing in clusters, ticket...

my week at a glance

Each day this week, on top of the usual workload and planning, I had other errands, classes or meetings to attend. It's been rather exhausting. Unfortunately, my weekend plans do not include relaxing. Yesterday I went to buy my ticket to the Juanes concert. He's playing at Estadio Atahualpa,...

crime on the rise

Going into this experience, I knew that Quito was not a safe city. But really, what city is truly safe? Petty crime (mostly pickpocketing) is rampant in Quito. It's a known problem and has been for years. However, over the last month we've heard more stories of violent crimes. Each moment on...

Quito: the city of every season, every day

One time, my friend Laura had her class come up with slogans to describe Quito. My favorite was, Quito: The city of all seasons, every day. This is true. It helps that Ecuador has only 2 seasons--wet and dry. We are now transitioning between the two seasons and the discrepancy between the two...

a sigh of relief

I'd been hearing a lot of "Well, on Tuesday I'll know if I can ever go back to the States" type of comments lately. And the excitement and anxiety leading up to Election Tuesday was palpable. Here, nearly everyone I talked to about the election was for Obama, but I knew it couldn't be quite like...

Happy Halloween!

During each teaching cycle, each class has two movie days. I had the pleasure of having my first movie days yesterday and today. With the holiday, I thought it was only fitting to watch a Halloween type movie, however still school appropriate--my students are 14+ in age. In my afternoon class...

optical illusions

It's strange. I know I've only been living in Quito for a little over 2 months, and that I've only been officially working for 3 weeks now, but life seems so normal. I am sufficiently adjusted I believe. Since my plan is pretty much the same from day to day, I'm finding it difficult to find...

adventures in teaching begin

Can you guess the category? 1) a man urinating on the sidewalk 2) a squished bird 3) a very dirty diaper behind the bus stop shelter 4) a little boy pouring his bag of chifles on the ground, staring at them, and then putting them back into the bag 5) sunshine, blue skies (usually...
