Ecuador

 

ECUADOR!

Here are some fun facts below:

• Capitol is Quito and the Galapagos Islands are part of Ecuador
• Ecuador has the most biodiversity per square kilometer of any nation
• Oil accounts for 40% of exports
• In the agricultural sector, Ecuador is a major exporter of bananas (first place worldwide in production and export), flowers, and the seventh largest producer of cocoa
• Since year 2000, Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar
• About 95% of people are Roman Catholics
• The country is roughly about the same size as the state of Colorado

Random things I have noticed:

• Population growth is alive and well here. Many many young children and I must say these are the cutest kids I have ever seen. Ever.
• Most vehicles are Chevy´s and many buses and trucks use diseal fuel
• Once again, for a country that exports coffee, most drink instant NesCafe here
• The best tasting mangos I have ever had
• Not too many people smoke ciggarettes
• Catching a bus is not an easy task
• The culture seems to like Homer Simpson alot
• they really like to sell watches
• lots of chicken, corn, beans, and potatoes here, oh and cheese in and on everything 
• lots of taxis and police everywhere
• it is quite a task to get change for a ten dollar bill, nobody ever has change, if you have a twenty dollar bill, then good luck !!
