1) Fresh squeezed juice every day.
2) Speaking Spanish! It´s just so much fun!
3) Getting long interesting e-mails from my brother.
4) Ecuadorian sense of humor. (watch Que Tan Lejos)
5) The Chocolate!
Things I "Don´t Love" About Quito:
1) Having to constantly walk with purpose in order to avoid being robbed.
2) Keeping my money in my bra in the event that I am robbed. (It´s really uncomfortable after awhile)
3) Being charged $60 per month by bank of america for international
withdrawals (this is not really Quito´s fault)
4) Frequently being asked if I'm single by strangers; taxi drivers,
bus drivers, the woman in line at the grocery store....
(I know it´s a cultural difference, but it gets old.)
5) Not picking up the Spanish as fast as I would like.
Things I Miss About Home:
1) My favorite jeans and comfy sweater (I finally broke down and bought jeans)
2) Having coffee with my dad in the morning.
3) Peanut butter
4) Having beer options. (Here it´s Pilsener or Pilsener.)
5) Throwing toilet paper away in the toilet. (The plumbing can´t handle it.)
