1. Everyone wants cash but cash machines only work some of the time and never after 3pm
2. Surrounded by volcanoes
3. Quito sits in a valley that is more than twice as high as Ben Nevis
4. Edgy atmosphere, have to be on your guard all the time
5. Secret Garden deserves to have won best hostal in South America
6. No health and safety rules so climbing around the Basillica towers gives an adrenalin rush
7. Live jazz in the main plaza
8. 3 course lunch for 1.5$, a good room for 18$, guinee pig for 3$, the best restaurant in Equador, dinner 70$
9. The new town is known by everyone as Gringolandia
10 Án English and a Scottish pub both with their own micro breweries
