It has been a pretty interesting week! I just loved bedtime -- with all that interesting talk with my guy tripmates xD Anyways, some of the workshops are pretty interesting. We got educated on how to live in a cross-cultural setting, and the importance of not getting into bed with the opposite sex -- or face dire consequences, such as mandatoryt marriage if we ever gotten a girl preganant. Boy, if that ever happen, I will bet my teachers face will turn purple =P. During these past days, I also have the opportunity to experience some Ecudorian local food -- such as Chicken Kababs and its wonderful fruit juices. Now when I compare it with the food I eat in Canada, they are pretty similar -- and that´s probably because I come from a Chinese background =D
I love Klevar -- he is a pretty hilarious guy. This is definately a big change from the regular classes I have with David. He´s also pretty nice to with his wallet -- he is the coordinator that treated us to those free kebabs after we found out that all the chickens that we have on our plate is raw =P We are almost coming to the end of the week -- which means we will be going to our host families soon. I am both excited and sad because I will be missing my peers but I will finally have the opportunity nto explore on my own and improve my Spanish.
Quito is such an amazing place to discover. It is so beautiful especially if you go to the highest point in the mountains. On March 5th, we are given the opportunity to explore Quito in pairs of four. On that day, we have such a blast with a special thanks to our amazing cab driver. He basically took us to all the best sights in Quito such as the angel tower, the musee that introduces us to Ecuadors history and many other higher points. They are simply magnificent -- both the views and the history behind it. I learned alot on that day such as how Ecuador became a country and the history of the Catholic Church. However, it is so unfair that the driver said that I am number four of my group simply because I am a guy =P All in all though, its an amaingly good day.
Looking foward to tommorow!! Write sometime soon
