My sister and brother-in-law teach english at the high school down the street, and Tuesday I accompanied them as the American guest. The students were asked to come up with questions for me in english. It was pretty fun. Their questions ranged from What are your hobbies? What kind of music do you like? to Do you have a boyfriend? And What are your thoughts on Ecuadorian men. Yes, 16 year-old boys are the same here.
I was quite the spectacle. It's very rare for them to see a white girl walking around town. Ashley has been here for almost a year, so they are used to her. It cracks me up. Small children look at me with horror and cling to their parents as if I was a monster looking to eat them for lunch. The men and women just stare. So, if you are attention starved or need an ego boost, Gualaquiza, Ecuador is for you!

This reminds me so much of when my roommate in college went to Thailand for a semester. She's a tall girl, and the Thai people are mostly shorter. They used to stare at her because (1) she was white and (2) she looked HUGE to them.
