[厄瓜多爾，瓜亞基爾 Guayaquil, Ecuador]
南美等等沒關係 Relax~Just Wait!
一轉眼，我們已經從哥倫比亞來到厄瓜多爾、從波哥大經基多到第二大城瓜亞基爾。
在這裡的行程將由克萊兒的朋友負責，帶我們到海邊踏浪去。
一早起床，興奮地在旅社陽台等朋友來接。晴空萬里加上搖曳的熱帶椰子樹，真是愜意無比。
眼看分針跨過約好的10點15分了...車子還不來，人也連絡不上，克萊兒越來越緊張！而約克我呢？
呵呵呵，遲到15分鐘還好吧，她可以遲到2小時我也不會介意。(請叫我巴西約克，中原標準時間慢兩小時！)
才沒幾天，班機延誤、朋友不準時，南美時間已經快把克萊兒逼瘋了。看著坐在對面焦慮的她，對比悠哉的我，才發現生活在巴西已經將我徹底改變。
有一天如果你們也來南美玩，請寬心接受：「啦啦啦，我們就是愛遲到，有甚麼關係嘛？」

Just one day, we departed from Bogota, Colombia to Ecuador, transferring in Quito for the final destination, Guayaquil.
Our trip here would be taken care of by Clair's friend, bringing us to enjoy the beach.
We sat at the balcony of the hostel to wait for the friend. It was so leisure under the cloudless sky and with those palm trees.
Yet, the meeting time 10:15 had passed... No car showed, no messages from the friend, Clair was getting anxious. And me?
Oh, 15 minutes late is alright. I wouldn't mind even 2 hours late. (Yes, call me Brazilian York. The standard Brazilian time is always 2 hours late.)
In her few days visiting South America, the slow-motioned time has almost driven Clair crazy, e.g. delay flights and friend meeting not on time. In comparison with the carefree me, it showed how much I had been changed by living life in Brazil.
Someday when you visit South America, remember to relax and accept it: We love to be late, lalala~ It is not a big deal, is it?
