When an Ecuadorian answers the phone, they greet with "Halo" (in a Spanish accent of course). Women give men and women one kiss on the recipient's right cheek, but not one on both sides. Men don't do this to men. Ecuadorians say "chao" (spelled that way according to one of the many political graffiti I've found).
Ecuadorians make the best juices, every juice I've had here has been better than any juice I've ever had in the EEUU. And with fruit I have never heard of before like mota and naranjilla.
Ecuadorians love to be revolutionary, as displayed by their 70-something constitutions since Independence and their 7 presidents in the last 10 years (I think). They love to lock doors. The poor love Presidente Correa, who revealed the names on television of the sons of the wealthiest people in Ecuador who were protesting the very popular (by the non-super wealthy) new constitution which is voted on in September. Ecuadorians think these are exciting times.
Ecuadorians are very nice, accepting people. Except for when driving when they have no respect for pedestrians.
