Amelia And JP VLOG 244: Even after living in Ecuador for more than 3 years, some customs and traditions STILL seem strange to us.
 
In this video, we discuss 10 things that seem strange to expats, but normal to Ecuadorians, from holiday traditions to banking and voting, with a special BONUS STRANGE that you won't want to miss!
 
We also give you a walking and aerial tour of Comuna San José Ecuador, which is a quaint little town with an AMAZING beach located just 5 minutes north of Olón.

In 2008, Amelia popped into a pet store to buy som In 2008, Amelia popped into a pet store to buy some dog food for Allie, her feisty Apricot Poodle. It wasn’t her regular pet store, but she was in the neighborhood. As she walked in, she noticed the store was hosting an adoption fair, as those stores often do.

While grabbing Allie’s dog food at the back of the store, Amelia heard a high pitched bark, and much louder than the rest. 

Although she didn’t go to the pet store that day to adopt another dog, she thought to herself, “If that’s a Toy Poodle, she’s going home with me.”

Alicia was very skinny, but full of life and demanding to be held, which was her preferred position at all times. They bonded immediately and Amelia filed the adoption paperwork, handing in her forms just before another couple who also wanted to adopt her.

It was meant to be.

I entered the picture in 2012 when Amelia and I started dating. Not long after, we had to put Allie to sleep. She was very old and in really bad health. I didn’t know Allie when she was in her prime, bounding up trails and playing in mountain streams. I arrived just in time for the hardest part of caring for a furry friend who rarely outlives us.

Alicia was already 12 years old when I met her, but small dogs live a long time and she was still very healthy. Her hair grew fast and since she always wanted to be held, it was often scraggly. 

That’s what earned her the nickname I gave her: Muppet. She looked just like one of Jim Henson’s creations with her scraggly hair and her Ferengi fangs (a Star Trek reference for you non-geeks).

After moving to Ecuador, I adapted her nickname to Mupita Viejita, which means “Little Old Lady Muppet,” to better reflect her location and advancing age. Amelia thought my nicknames were funny, but she preferred to call her Licia or Tiny Little Poodle. 

I will especially miss Amelia’s daily rendition of “Tiny. Tiny little Poodle. She’s my tiny little Poodle.” Amelia liked to sing this song as she carried out her daily activities	around the house, often with Licia in her arms.

Hola Unconventionals! Today is the BIG DAY!!! We'r Hola Unconventionals! Today is the BIG DAY!!! We're going to celebrate reaching our 50,000 YouTube Subscriber milestone with a Live Stream at 2PM Eastern/Ecuador Time over on our YouTube Channel.

It's hard to appreciate how big this milestone is for a YouTube Channel because so many channels seem to have millions of subscribers. 

However, out of all the channels with at least 100 subscribers, only 1% have passed the 50,000 subscriber milestone. 

We're STILL shocked and amazed that we're one of them! And that's why we want to celebrate with ALL of our subscribers AND especially our patrons with today's Live Stream event.

Thank you all SO MUCH for making this day possible! 

¡Nos vemos pronto!
Amelia And JP
