Every city has their appeal: the ancient architecture, the unique food and the differences in interactions with people. Quito is no exception. The stunning, intricate designs of their cathedrals. The way each meal comes with a spicy sauce on the side, that isn’t really spicy at all. The way people greet each other with a kiss on the cheek or pack themselves like sardines on the bus, not minding the close proximity to a complete stranger. What Ecuador also has is a constant noise. I have not heard one moment of silence in Quito since I have moved here and wanted to give you a sample of Ecuador’s soundtrack:
These are the sounds that I typically hear on a daily basis in Quito, Ecuador.
Constant dog barking.
Constant car alarms.
Constant whistles.
Almost nightly fireworks.
Lots and lots of church bells.
Just to name a few.
