UCHUJACU   My father is from Cayambe and I have eaten UCHUJACU all my life. It is extremely delicious and nutritious. this dish is cooked by indigenous people from Cayambe When they have important celebrations such weddings, baptisms or ancestral celebrations they cook it. However, my mother has prepared this dish one day per week since that I was a child. So, I have feeling that every week we have a party. UCHUJACU is a Quichua name that means spicy flour. I am going to start to explain how many ingredients has the spicy flour. it has different products such as barley, wheat, corn, vetch, lentil and haba bean. they are roasted and ground. After that, they are mixed with garlic, achiote and cumin. Finally, the flour is ready for preparing a delicious soup. You can eat it without meat. the same way and it is still delicious, but when we have a party we add  guinea pig, beef, egg, cheese, and mote. (it is a kind of corn). You should try it even if you don't like guinea p...

  MY RELATIONSHIP WITH LANGUAGES Six years ago ,  I graduated from  the  university  as  an economist ; it  was the best  thing  in my life because in my family I was the first person who  graduated from college . Fortunately, I got a job one year before my graduation  so  I didn't have to search for a job , which  was great for my family and me. In fact, I met a  good  friend who is  also  an economist.  His knowledge  let me  learn   a lot . I say fortunately because  it  so difficult  to  get a job when you  don’t  have enough experience. Consequently, all those six years  I learned  many things about  economics  and I  h ave  been studying  English and Korean  at  the same time.    I decided to study both languages three years ago but English had been so difficult  for me.    A maz...

  Incidents that happen during a trip with your family Three years ago, my father and I went to Atacames beach. He had never gone to a beach and he was excited about the trip. I used to go to Atacames every month for work and I decided to travel with my father. Then, I organized all things, especially who had to prepare food for him. It was his first time at the beach, and I wanted to give him the best experience of the place.  When we arrived at the first place where my father could see the beach, he said it is wonderful, but we could not stay long because I had a work meeting that finished at night. However, he went without me and tasted different dishes such ceviche, shrimp, and juice. He looked sad and happy at the same time that night and I asked that what happened to him.  He told me that the food was extremely delicious and he wanted to go to the beach and swim but the day has finished and I was very tired. Finally, I said tomorrow early we are going to go to...

  WHO  AM I? People have said that I am naturally quiet. This is partially true. While I may come out as shy and reserved to people who do not know me, I am actually quite talkative.  I have been through a lot in my life and I am 33 years old. However, I have asked the same question to my self. W hy  are there poor people?  Why is life unfair? It is because when I was a child I had too many neecessties. Then, I have saw a poor child on the street, I have returned in the time and I have  looked  to my self. I remember when my parents did not have enough money to buy food for my sister and me. I have been thought about this all my life , and I believe too many people do not kown it. But, when a person approaches me, I am very friendly and when the stranger is patient enough she or he may witness my jovial side. Not to be mistaken as a social reject, but my lack of interaction is not a weakness or a deficiency. It is just that I dislike engaging...
