I never imagined that while I was in Ecuador such a political dispute would break out, but alas, here we are. Rafael Correa, FARC, Raul Reyes, Hugo Chavez, George Bush, Alvaro Uribe - all over the news. If you are not familiar with the situation concerning the northern countries of South America, you can read up on it here.
Here on our campus we have students from Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and the United States. The people defy the way the politicians behave. I live with a Colombian. I dine with Ecuadorians. I play foosball with Peruvians. What the TV and newspapers say does not mock our community here. I don't like to get political, so I won't - I don't want to be that girl.
For those who worry, don't. We're safe. All that has happened is currently nothing more than a political dispute.
