Im amazed I was able to do it so easily in Quito. When I was uploading the vido of my tv interview the cafe closed early cuz I was the only one in it, just waiting for that thing to load. Instead, I have uploaded some pictures of my tv interview along with a snow angel I made yesterday on Chimborazo, the largest volcano in Ecuador. There was so much snow it reminded me of home... and then it was sunny today and I realized I dont really miss snow at all.
To elaborate some things, the community health department of the hospital i work in is also the public relations department, so my coordinator had the tv interview on one of the two local channels, and decided to bring me and the other student to talk about what we did. I was of few words, naturally since it was in Spanish.
Also, the video of me getting rubbed with eggs. Yeah if you havent watched that yet you should, its educational and funny. The process is called ´limpia con huevos´ or cleaning with eggs, although its also a diagnostic. The eggs are supposed to absorb ones negative energy so the lady in the video shakes the eggs to figure out what is wrong with me. The diagnosis: mal aire, or bad, evil air, which that day was the cause of a headache I didnt know I had. Fun fact: it was also the cause of my stomach problems in punin according to my mom there, so she did the same thing to me one night. She thought I got it from the cemetery I went to earlier that night. Personally I prefer ´limpia con plantas´ or cleaning with plants; it smells nicer and at the end the yachak, or medicine man, breaths fire at you to clear away the negative energy, which I feel is more thorough.
good to be clear of all that bad mal aire.. I have never seen such a thing before...
