My host brother just got home last night from two weeks of visiting family in New Jersey. At breakfast today, he was talking about his experience and it was very interesting to hear his perspective on NYC and Times Square and how they compare to Quito. As a person who has no real desire to visit New York (other than Central Park) and is loving Quito, it was interesting to hear how he loved all the lights and the screens and thought that Quito was boring and lightyears behind because there was no area like that. He loved the hustle and bustle. I guess this difference is mostly just due to what we are accustomed to, but it was cool to get a foreigner's perspective on the whole thing.
It was also great that he brought back an entire suitcase full of American candy! Yummm, Reese's and Skittles...
