whoa Easycure is Ecuadorian? News to me. So did you ever live there or was that just your parent. Thats a dream of mine, to go to Ecuador and flush the toilet and have the water go straight down in stead of twirl.
I'm Ecuadorian by blood only, in spirit i'm all-american. I was the first american born in my family and thus they gave me the whitest name out of all of us "Michael Daniel [last name]"
I've only been there once, when i was in the first grade and I hated it because I didn't know what "third world country" meant back than. Why was it so hot.. where was the A/C? Why can't I buy a can of coke and take it with me*... and my favorite:
HOLY FUCKING **** THERE'S A CAT ON THE ROOF OF THAT HOUSE EATING A MOUSE INSIDE-OUT! i didnt' know they actually do that!
My family over there (all my mothers family, my fathers family migrated here much earlier) all teased me about being a "fat american" and teased me about my spanish (which wasn't so great back then). The only fun part of the trip was when we visited the Galapagos Islands.. that **** was amazing. We took a small plane to the coast of the country and then took a small boat to the isles. They anchored off the shore of one of the biggers isles for a bit to let us all go swimming.. in shark infested waters lol. I got to see all those animals the rest of you only see in the school science books;
blue footed boobys (or whatever) and those gigantic ancient turtles. It was awesome.
I'll have to go back some day, now that I can appreciate the differences.. (and now that its not so "third world" anymore).
*When walking thru the market places and i asked my mum to get me a coke, they had only bottles but unless you wanted to pay extra you couldn't actually take the bottle with you.. You could go up to a guy and be like "lemme get half a coke" and he'd pour you some in a plastic bag so you could take it with you... Sure, you could get the whole bottle poured in to a bag but my family was too cheap for that, so i always got around half a bottle. Straws? Extra $ too.. howd you drink it? Snip a hole in the corner and let it pour into your mouth. In first grade i thought "wow.. this isn't for me."
