I'm starting to think that it is my fault for all the ties that Emelec has been having.  Every time I go to watch them play, they end up in a tie.  Emelec is a local professional soccer team in Guayaquil.  The game today was another one with an insane atmosphere.  One of the new teachers went with me again.  He is from South Africa and has seen professional soccer all over the world, including this year's World Cup.  According to him, he has never experienced a crazier, better soccer atmosphere.  It is amazing how passionate they are about their soccer.  The games are so fun.  The stadium is old and has so much character.  They pack so many people in there that you stand the whole time.  In fact it is so packed that you cannot leave to go to the bathroom, which makes it interesting.  This particular time, we couldn't wait until the end of the game.  It is extremely common to use an empty beer cup or bottle to "relieve" yourself.  To make a long story short, we ended up with 12 cups filled with a yellow substance that wasn't beer.  Sorry to gross everyone out, but it was hilarious!  The cups were just out in the open and to "relieve" yourself it was just a matter of turning your back to the crowd.  No one thought it was the least bit strange, except us of course.  At least we were kind and didn't drop them from the balcony like some people did.  What an experience!!!
