So life in Quito is going well, I am getting to know the
city and even working out the buses. The best bit is they don’t lie to you like
in Lima, because the buses are privately owned they just want you to get on and
pay. So after asking ‘ do you go to Salamanca?’ and getting the confident
answer of ‘ Si, Claro’ ie- whatever just get on! Then again asking ‘ Do you
really go to Salamanca?’ Some at this point just say no I lied but you can go
to San Jaun on this bus…… Er no I still want to go to Salamanca.
Anyway back to Quito, so life in the hostel is great. The
work is fun and meeting new people is always a bonus, although there are a lot
of Americans and I am finding myself saying things like Super, Sooooo Cute and
other equally annoying things. Here are some pics and a link to the web page.
Updating and Writing for the South American Explorers is
super cool ( see what I mean!) no it is very interesting. Again its great to
hear everyone’s story as they come through Quito, only problem is everyone is
English speaking so I am not practising any Spanish apart for on the buses…. Someone
once told me if I want a laugh I have to ask an American what nationality they
are, the answers always go something like this- 14% Irish, 33% Italian, 21% Colombian, 32% Lithuanian, 18% English,
now I am not being ignorant to the history of America but the totals are always
over 100%! Try it next time you meet an American.
