Hey David,

It's cool that you get to visit Ecuador. Here are some interesting things about Ecuador. The national tree of Ecuador is the cinchona tree which produces Quinine, the first drug used to prevent and treat malaria. The summit of Mount Chimborazo, Ecuador’s highest mountain, is the point on Earth closest to the sun. Due to the mountain’s location along the equatorial bulge, its summit is the farthest point from the Earth’s core. This also means that Ecuador is the closest country to space. Ecuador is the world’s largest exporter of bananas, accounting for up to 29% of all bananas exported in 2011. There are at least 14 recognized languages spoken in Ecuador. Spanish is the official language while 13 indigenous languages are also recognized including Quichuan and Shuar. The Panama hat is from Ecuador. Straw hats woven along the Ecuadorian coast were taken to Panama initially to be sold to canal workers and, after the canal opened, to affluent westerners passing through the Panama Canal.

Some things in Ecuador are very different from the United States. For example, they are in two different continents. The official language of the U.S. is English, while in Ecuador it is Spanish. Ecuador also has 88% less coastline than the U.S. which is a big difference.

Some things in Ecuador are a lot like the United States. For example, thy both have a Federalist system. Also, they have a president is the commander in chief. Lastly, they both have a Presidential system.

Have a great trip! Bring me back a souvenir!

Hey David,  

It's cool that you get to visit Ecuador. Here are some interesting things about Ecuador. Ecuador's highest mountain is the summit of Mount Chimborazo and it is the point on Earth closest to the sun. The mountain's summit is the farthest point from the Earth's core! Ecuador means "equator" in spanish. The reasoning of this is because the equator crosses through the country. In Ecuador, Spanish is the official language but there are also 13 others spoken.  

That's one of the many differences from the United States. Another difference is that they are two completely different continents. Ecuador has a different flag than the United States. The Ecuador flag has yellow, blue, and red stripes. Red represents the blood shed by the soldiers of the independence battles. Blue represents the color of the sea and sky. Yellow represents the richness of the land and the abundance of crops.

Some things in Ecuador are a lot like the United States. For example, they both have a president which is commander in chief. They both have a presidential system. In both Ecuador and United States, they use the U.S dollar.  

Have a great trip! Bring me back a souvenir!
