(Kirjutatud eile)
Projektikülastuste, perekondade mõeldud pidustuse planeerimise ja salsatunni vahel käisin eile ühte uut perekonda, kes on huvitatud vabatahtlike majutamisest, külastamas. Ximega olen varemgi uusi perekondi külastanud, ent seekord käisin üksi. Sõitsin bussiga linnast välja, lugesin juhiste järgi 6 valgusfoori ja kaks bensiinijaama ning seejärel palusin bussil peatuda. Kui kohalikelt küsisin, et kus asub konservatoorium sain vastuseid kahest kvartalist kuue kilomeetrini... nii ma siis kõndisin lootuses leida tomati värvi(just, tomatid ei ole siin punast värvi vaid tomati värvi) maja. Nii umbes 15-20 minuti pärast leidsin õige koha õnneks üles J
Seletasin perekonnale kuidas toimub vabatahtlike majutamine ja töö Ecuadoris, tegin selgeks kõik muud vajalikud reeglid, pärast seda tehti mulle majas ringkäik. Samas majas asus muusikakool ning kohalik raadio ja pood. Omapärane! Lisaks oli kohalik laulja tulnud parasjagu oma uut plaati tooma, nimelt filmitakse samas majas ka muusikavideosid... Mulle näidati ka koduloomi: 3 koera, kass ja kassipoeg, merisead(keda toiduks kasvatatakse...) ja loomulikult kanad J Ringkäigu lõpetuseks näitas pereema mulle uhkusega enda postrit, ning kuna ka tema oli laulja, andis ta mulle mälestuseks oma plaadi, kotitäie värskelt korjatud avokaadosid ja ootas minuga bussi. J
Täna, pärast pikka tööpäeva, käisin keelevahetuses. Arutelude teemad olid seekord maailma sõdadest koduvägivallani Ecuadoris. Jutuajamise lõpus küsiti mitu aastat ma Ecuadoris elanud olen? Hispaani keel on nelja kuuga vist külge hakanud J

(Written yesterday
Between visiting projects, planning the family fiesta and attending salsa classes I also visited a new host family yesterday. I’ve visited quite a few host families before, but never alone. I took a bus outside of the Quito, passed 6 traffic lights and 2 petrol stations and then asked for the bus to stop. I tried to find out how far I was from the house by asking the locals if they knew a music conservatory that was supposed to be near where I had gotten off the bus. I got answers from two blocks to 6 kilometers as always. Oh well, I carried on walking hoping to find a house that was in tomato colour (yes, they have a separate colour for describing tomatoes as they are not red here). After about 15-20 minutes of walking I luckily found the house I was looking for J
I explained the family what it means to be a host family and made sure they understood the process and regulations, after which I was shown the house. They had a music school, a local radio and a small shop in the same building. Rather unusual JThey also had a room where they make music videos fur local musicians... I was also shown their pets: 3 dogs, a cat and a kitten, guinea pigs(kept for food...) and of course chicken JThe housewife turned out to be a singer, she proudly showed me a poster of herself at the end of the tour, gave me her CD, a bag full of freshly picked avocadoes and waited for the bus with me J
I had a rather long day at work today, after which I went to language exchange. We spoke on topics from wars around the World until domestic violence in Ecuador, after which I was asked how many years have I been living in Ecuador? I guess I’ve picked up quite a bit of Spanish in the last four months J
