So not all these facts will be weird or unknown, but hopefully they're all interesting!
- The Ecuadorian national sport is soccer (or futbol) so obviously they have great taste in sports
- Other popular sports include bullfighting and volleyball (although that is played with a soccer ball)
- For foods, Ecuador is the world's highest banana exporter!
- Don't eat with your hands there, it is considered very rude! (including pizza)
- Ecuadorians consider guinea pig to be a delicacy so if you have one for a pet try not to be offended...
- (He's so cute!)
- Ecuador's national music is pasillo (according to youtube this is an example of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9nz7yLcpBI)
- The Ecuadorian flag's colors are yellow for the diversity of the country, blue for the sea and sky, and red for the blood of those who fought for independence
- Ecuador was the first nation in 2008 to declare that nature has constitutional rights (equality for everything!)
- My last fact is going to be that Ecuador has the world's highest diversity of humming bird species
