Vocabulario

CHEVERE- A must if you aim to survive in Ecuador. Literally "great", it is crammed into every sentence. Also, CHEVEROSO and CHEVERISSIMO.

GRINGOLANDIA- Affectionate (?) nickname for Mariscal, the tourist hangout. Befittingly, both my host family and school are located in Gringolandia...

CORREISTA- A supporter of Rafael Correa, the president.

  1. I'm LOVING this blog.

    Also, Correa is apparently a big fan of Ha-Joon Chang, one of my lecturers this semester. See, its a small world, and we're all so connected !! xx
