Aww Quito..

Well as most of you know, Im in Quito! Holla! The flights from Houston to Bogota to Quito were hella chill.. Man, Bogota is amazing.. Damn well yall already know how i feel about Colombia[<3 <3] so i wont even want to waste your time with that.. lol

So yea my host family is hella chill. Maricarmen[mum], Maria laura[hermanita], Mateo[hermanito], and Javier[dad]...so yea i live in a reallly reallly really really nice house/flat/duplex. this place is banging.. and i am a little upset about that...lol i know that sounds somehow, but i have it way too good. Thank Jah and I shouldnt complain. I have hot water to take showers with no problems, I have a bedroom which is larger than my own back in the states, i have my own restroom[which i dont have in the state either]..I thank God but i know that my current living condition is not similiar to most of the Quitenos here...but its aight..naw mean?? lol

anyways..hmm wat else...aww okay. So yesterday we had orientation a la U.and damn that place is nice...i swear..definately where the politians, docotors and lawyers children go to Uni...this place in no way truly reflects the Quiteno reality..lol my host sister said that it is filled with alot of 'plasticos' it's kinna like fresas in mexican spanish...kinna like preppy kids, but hey i wont judge...but yea orientation was chill lol we had this former Peace corps volunteer talk to us about safety as GRINGOS..lol i guess to the advantage of the black students is that they are blacks in ecuador, but its all about "looking the part"...so i guess dont be going around in big groups, do be yabbin all that english, dont be flashing your wealth[ cuz u will be cut] ...LOL just jokes...lol.. but yeah..its just little things..so far...i have been spending alot of time on my own exploring the town[aka gingo to the store and buying an umbrella and making photocopies close to la U]..lol and i seen some of the kids from the US group in twos and threes[which is a good idea] or just in massive groups[not a good idea]....

annnnnyyyyyywwwaaaayyyyyssss i digressed...hmm but yea i went out to Gringolandia aka la Mariscal Sucre aka La Zona. La U had a international student party for us, but to raise money for kids that had cancer, hmmmmm but it was pretty chill, the Music and everything...shit the music was....THE SHIT! lol Salsa, Merengue, Reggeaton, Plena!!, 80's ROCK[reminds me so much of the boliches in Buenos aires], TONS OF LATIN HOUSE AND some Brazilian MUSIC! and tons and tons of awesome stuff....

ANNNNNYYYYWWWAAYYYYYYS I digress, i really dont know what else to talk about...hmmm awwwwww yes!! the good news!! so..drum roll!! Colombia is where i will be for carnval...preferably Barranquilla but if not then Cali... and what else....idk but anyways i have to leave the country anyways cuz my visa will expire so i will be in colombia to renew it or something and PERU!!! brah brah!! so i really really wanted to go to Chincha to jam out to some zapateo and Lando, but idk..its looking harder than it is..hmmm but yea i will be planning to travel to some places within Ecua...but not that much..i really want to explore this City..it is so multifaceted and so much diversity and u can truly see it when u get on the bus..hmm but yea so the plans are to go to OVATALO[im might have spelt it wrong], GUAYAQUILA, CUENCA, LUMBISI, TUMBACO, ATACEMEDES[sp?] and TONSUPA[even though i will be living there for 3 months...lol]..okay my lovelies!!
