Ecuador is amazing. My house is pretty sweet, I live with mi madre in a gated community near the Estado Olympico, the state soccer stadium. I have my own room, bathroom, bbq, and game room. Liz and luis live near by. I take 2 buses to my University which looks like a spa complete with koi pond, sushi bar, and a posh dining room. Other than the huge language barrier, things are going well. It has been muy deficil to find internet.
