Coup!
A study abroad in Ecuador isn't complete without the overthrowing of the government. Banks and airports are currently shut down while the police riot against the President. Why does all the good stuff happens after we leave Quito? Everyone here is pretty enthralled in it, and have been gathered around watching the TV all day talking like it's the latest drama on the "Jersey Shore." Even though it's violent and dangerous, it's hard to be too concerned seeing that these coup attempts happen almost every year, and everyone is treating it as if it were about time we had another one. Also, we're on the islands so no one is concerned about anything, ever.
