Fulbright Office - Director sits in corner office |
I’ve already traveled to Quito twice; the first time was a
dry run on Saturday (8/25), and then on Monday (8/27) for a meeting at the Fulbright
office.
At the Fulbright office we went over a
checklist which included starting the process to register my
visa. I have to return on Thursday to
continue the process.
Not to mention a Security Briefing at the U.S. Embassy on Wednesday (9/5).
$0.25 to ride to Quito from Cumbayá |
I catch the bus along Via Interoceánica - One day I walked this half a mile stretch against the flow of the bus traffic, and counted 10 busses headed to Quito - all in less than 10 minutes time.
It takes about an hour (and one bus transfer) to get to Fulbright from my host's house.
After the meeting I went to Plaza Foch (aka “Gringolandia”
because tourists and resident foreigners frequent this place). That day there was the “Quito Blues 2012”
festival that included "Sugar Blue" and was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy.
National Beer of Ecuador |
While there I enjoyed an Ecuadorian cerveza. It was two for one, but I only wanted one and
gave the other away to the folks at the next table.
Hello everyone
ReplyDeleteHow are you? Today I want to share with you about Ecuador food. we are providing food services from our Scala shopping mall and our food shop. These shall and detailed little Ecuador (Scala Shopping) food shop locations are usually close to everything. They are usually within walking distance from most residential neighborhoods and this allows many of the elderly to get what they need on a daily basis. Take a look at our mall to know more about our scala Shopping-centros comerciales en quito
