Top 10 signs you know you're in Ecuador

10. Cars honk once to let you know that they're not going to stop at a stop sign/red light and twice if they plan on hitting you.
9. You are wearing the same pair of underwear you had on last week because, due to the fact that it rains pretty much all day everyday, your laundry is still wet.
8. You are awakened each morning around 5 AM to the sound of (1) your mom using the blender (2) Spanish music blaring from your neighbor's house (3) your mom yelling at your younger brother to get up and go buy bread or (4) a combination of all 3.
7. You see an entire pig hanging in front of a store, turn your head for 5 minutes to talk to a friend, and when you look back all that is left of the pig is the head.
6. Breakfast can be anything from a piece of bread to a can of tuna.
5. Even though it's pouring rain, you have no running water in your house and become thankful for a bucket and stovetop when shower time rolls around.
4. Walking 45 minutes one way to get to class/internet/the store is actually not that bad.
3. Wearing a Fedora hat with a feather on the side is stylish, while in the states wearing that would make you a pimp.
2. Little kids will literally stare at your screen while you write emails, trying to read what it says and even asking questions about what words mean what, even though you've never even met these kids.
1. You wake up every morning with an incredible view of the mountains, and get to start your day off by walking in the clouds.
