There are a plethora of ways that folks try to make a buck on the streets of Quito. You can watch a cartoon or a music video for a buck. Buy stuff? Anything you can think of from a woman carrying TV antennae and remotes to Chicas selling chiclets and chocolate. Shoe shines are less, started at fifty cents. If your gymn shoes are dingy you can have them painted while still on your feet. As for more personal needs, this evening I was gently accosted by a few of the least attractive hookers I have seen. I politely declined, by the way.
Here is a video link to my favorite guys working the streets. A photo just wouldn't get it.
Enjoy!
