“I’m from Ecuador, and people are always surprised we use US dollars! We no longer have a currency of our own. They are also surprised we are on the same time zone as New York, because the South American west coast is right below the North American east coast!”

#21 Ecuador used to have its own currency, but since it (The sucre) lost 67% of its foreign exchange value during 1999 and its value nosedived an additional 17% over the course of one week, ending at 25,000 sucres per USD on January 7, 2000, president Mahuad was forced to adopt the USD. All Latin America currencies are waste paper.

The problem is that many tourists do little to no research before they travel to a foreign country. As an absolute minimum, people should know the currency of the country they are visiting.

Brazilians do practice their English, but they also wear leather jackets when it’s 70 degrees. That’s why I figure Bogata isn’t that cold.
