Name: Phillip Orange
\n<\/strong>Country: England
\n<\/strong>Period in Ecuador: 28th - 30th December
\n<\/strong>Age: 21 years old<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I met Phillip a couple of years ago on the internet. Now he is living in Peru and it was great news to me when he told me he would visit Ecuador \ud83d\ude42 I was so happy I could meet him even if it was only for few days! But we did a marathon going to the most tourist places of my city Guayaquil<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: Did you like the Ecuadorian custom of \u201cNew Year\u2019s dummy<\/a>\u201d?<\/em><\/strong>
\nA: I found the New Year\u2019s Dummy festival very interesting something I have not seen before. I was surprised to hear that they burn all their hard work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We were visiting some New Year's Dummies of the City.<\/p><\/div>\n

Q: What did you like the most in Guayaquil?
\n<\/strong><\/em>A: What I liked most about Guayaquil, that is a hard one there was many things but I must say I really liked the amazing environment in which it lies in, the many trees and the rivers that run by the city and the \u201cParque Hist\u00f3rico de Guayaquil<\/a>\u201d that is within the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We are at the Parque Historico \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

Q: Is there anything that you like more of here that is not found or not common in your homeland?<\/em><\/strong>
\nA: In the city I come from there is many factories and old buildings but what my city lacked is the vibrant and lively atmosphere that I find here in South America. Also I liked the lizards that roam the parks in Ecuador and the mango trees that grow in the streets something that I would not see in my old hometown in a million years.<\/p>\n

Q: What do you find interesting about Ecuador?<\/em><\/strong>
\nA: What I find most interesting about Ecuador is the history and cultures something I would like to explore further in the future.<\/p>\n

Q: Any advices to foreigners who want to visit Ecuador?<\/strong><\/em>
\nA: My advice to foreigners would be to visit Las Pe\u00f1as<\/a> and climb the steps to see the amazing lighthouse on top also I would recommend them to tour the city and visit the iguanas in the \"Parque Seminario<\/a>\".
\nOne last tip which I would always give to anyone visiting Ecuador is just to remain vigilant and take care in their travels.<\/p>\n
