What you always wanted to know about Ecuador

First I'd like to start off by listing the answers to many questions you might have.

• Yes, I am in Ecuador and NOT Al Salvador
• It's on the equator, hence its name
• We are one hour ahead of Wisconsin time
• There are 12 hours of day light and 12 hours of night time, starting around 6am and 6pm
• I'm studying abroad and not on a missions trip
• Sure it's dangerous, but so is NYC
• Starting tomorrow I will have to take two buses to get to class including a 15 min walk
• I am attending the University San Francisco de Quito
• They put the toilet paper in the trash and not in the toilet
• They drive on the right side of the road
• I'll be here for 4 months and 12 days
• All but one of my classes is in Spanish
• I'm living with a host family
• My host family speaks mostly Spanish but they do know some English
• I have my own room and bathroom
• I like the "SuperMaxi" it's like a Piggly Wiggly
• I am not alone, 9 other SNC students are here
• We are very high above sea level and the altitude can be a problem sometimes

Hopefully this can help you understand where I am.
