So in the spirit of explaining the title of my blog (which has been long contemplated, I promise) I have noticed that out of convenience or maybe just for fun, people here tend to take the first part of the name of their country, and tack just about whatever you can think of on the back.
A sample conversation:

Person A) "Does he have a girlfriend?"

Person B) "No, but he has an Ecua-girl."
This was puzzling for me at first but I have soon learned that one can make anything into an "ecua"
there are companies named simply, "Ecua-auto." Like it's an auto company of the entire nation. Very bizarre. There are Ecua-people, Ecua-dogs, Ecua-cars, Ecua-teachers, Ecua-a holes. No I made that last one up (but then aren't they all made up?!).

So it was after this discovery that I had a spontaneous, creative, clever thought and jumped on it. Hence the name Ecua-lore. Ecua, for obvious reasons and all of the definitions of lore that I found seemed to play a role in what I'm doing here...plus it was that or "I'm an Ecua-girl, in an Ecua-world" (you have get the tune to that barbie song going in order for this one to work...)

I think I made the right choice.
