Hello,
I am an exchange student from the U.S. now currently living in Ibarra, Ecuador right now and I just came back from a week long visit in Riobamba where i too came across this interestingly named town. I really enjoyed your thoughts on cultures and also that things cannot be rationalized. Did you get a chance to visit the musuem in Guano with the mummy?? Hope you enjoyed Ecuador.

I am originally from Tobago . And I find the comments offensive also. Tobagonians put a very high premium on education. Why else would we have a very high literacy rate. It is the only place I know of where bar room conversation consists of a dissection of politics and current world events. Even when drunk we have philosophical debates. Also Just because someone has dreadlocks does not make them a rasta. True Rastas are not "pushy in your face" people ...unless you showed them disrespect first. So please do not assume that the people you met while on the beach are representative of the entire population. In general we are friendly and always willing to help unless you show yourself to be abrasive, condescending, or disrespectful.
I applaud you though in your efforts to point out that the Caribbean islands are not benign. There is crime here particularly as tourists with there behavior have made themselves easy marks. The very same things that are frowned upon where you are from are frowned upon in the caribbean also. By all means visit, but use some common sense
