The First Post from Quito

^ That's a very unoriginal title... i know.

I'm HERE!!
I don't even have the creativity to type up a nice blog about what life's like right now. I'm happy.
oh.. and even happier now that "My Girl" just started playing in the hostel's lobby... good times.
I'm loving how much music i recognize from the US.
woah.
I meet my host family tomorrow. They pick us up tomorrow. I kind of sort of found out a little bit about mine because there was some finalizing that needed to be done and they had to make sure it would work- i guess I'm near a park and near my friend katie miller, so it should all be good.

Quito-- ok.. it's really large. Like the biggest city I've ever seen. You can't even see it all. It's too big. Even when we were up on this mountain today- too big.

spanish- it's coming tomorrow. We've mainly been in english so far.

altitude- not too bad. I'm going to try jogging tomorrow- i don't know how it will go.

food- i'll be fine. no sickness yet. thankfully- and I've tried some new stuff.

I got to see my school yesterday. USFQ is quite the place. I'm still worried about all the rich kids.

Ok- that's short and sweet, but all i've got.

buenas noches,
kimbo

American music is really common everywhere. It's almost sad, because so many countries feel pressure to adhere to our standards, and we're such a powerhouse as far as media etc goes...
I feel like a lot of local culture is smothered that way.

I'm interested in hearing more about the host family and the food! When dale was in Ecuador he said they put ketchup on everything.
