Aug 1990 - Aug 2000

Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador

I made the few friends I ever had at La Cotopaxi, an international school where not even the Ecuadorians spoke Spanish. Soon I learned to speak perfect English and I worked hard to learn to play the saxophone and other things. Beautiful country - it's a shame that it has fallen from grace and is no longer, like Mars, habitable. Just from afar.
I was a Spanish teacher at Uni, but more than anything I was a master pastry chef and counter salesman - good times those - I always liked dealing with people. For a while I also worked as treasurer in an aluminum company, but 8 hours at a desk were never, as they say in English: "my cup of tea." Finally, I started as an English teacher working in Lago Agrio, A.K.A. Macondo, in the Ecuadorian Amazon - from there to China there were only a couple of CVs
Unlike Peru, the food in Ecuador has "less flavor." From there I learned the phrase "bad food with aji resbala." I'm lying, because over time and thanks to my wife I learned to try dishes like fritada, chochos with chulpi, red meat from Mama Miche and tripamishqui from the western one, and shell ceviche with toast - a weekend reviver. many good memories
All the bad memories or experiences I ever had in Ecuador are not the country's fault. I would return in the blink of an eye if it weren't for the dirty politics and its dark corruption.

Aug 1989 - Aug 1991

Boca Raton, Florida, USA

I dedicated myself to learning to fend for myself. I practiced several trades as an apprentice: waiter, painter, interior remodeler and translator - in the last few years I did quite well - Thx again Boz :)
Strong, but not actually working.
Florida's weather is always warm, the oranges are always juicy, and the supermarkets are bigger than ever. The sudden summer rains are like a movie. Shopping malls were always good extras in the neighborhood
Nothing. But I don't think it's a place I would live for too long.

Apr 1980 - Aug 1990

Lima, Lima, Peru

I was born there, and I went to primary school.
The memories of the weekends at my grandparents' house, both paternal and maternal, are somewhat blurred. Peruvian food was and always will be good, especially the sweets such as manjar blanco, turron de do帽a pepa, chancai bread, carapulcra, aji de gallina, etc. - I love good food
The humidity of Lima is a killer if you suffer from respiratory problems. I lived half my life in Peru in my room, with my lungs working at half-sail to the beat of my partner, a dehumidifier that threatened to explode every second - poor thing.
