All Change in Quito
We have moved again, we´re now in an apartment complex that is a bit weird, run by devout Catholics and could be the set of a horror film. On the plus side its spotlessly clean and really quiet so all in all we like it. Our Spanish lessons have started and Marianne knows loads more than me already, but thats not cos Im stupid I just need to apply myself (story of my life)………
Im trying to do a deal with the owner of the Spanish school - ill do some web design in return for lessons so I have to negotitate with him tomorrow. Im so shit when it comes to talking about money, forget Spanish thats what I really need classes in.
It was the election here at the weekend. It was a bit strange, all bars were closed for 3 days beforehand. Cant have anyone being drunk in the polling booth and voting is compulsory. There was a military curfew apparently after dark but we werent out anyway. The election was inconclusive and will now go to a second round between Chavista Rafael Correa and the man who buys popularity, Alvaro Noboa (hes a billionaire banana magnet that goes round giving out money and wheelchairs at his rallies in return for promises of a vote - you couldnt make that up)

Dear lord man, the last thing they need are Jordan designs there!
Before you know it the wheelchair president will have you chained to a radiator writing is propaganda for the three constituents with web access!
I do have a query though. Is it not cart before the horse, how are you going to make a site for them in their language in return for lessons in their language? Paradox! Make sure you don’t bump into your future self Marty!

Hey Ciaran,
I think you should invest in a pair of rollerskates in order to make an assured escape when the gangstas from the previous place give chase.
Good to chat the other day.
Take care,

Oonagh.

Hey Face Man, why don’t you just acquire a jet engine by seducing the local dictator’s daughter with your fresh-faced good looks, then flee in style?

I’m delighted that things aren’t standing still for you - who wants to take time out in Aus when you can go to somehwere as f’uped as you two are? Cool. Just be careful and don’t get too smart - i know what you two are like. Oh, and Ciaran, don’t show yourself up, step up a gear in the Spanish. As far as financial negioations go, start HIGH, work down, finish quite high. You know your worth. This time next year, you’ll be a millionaire.
