Carola, Silver, Boncur. Since i see daily the same questions from newbies and many do not know how to serach, or are not inclined, i have been thinking of how we can come up with a practical and simple document where we can touch on the different services, conditions, prices etc that they will encounter in EC and briefly state the difference from other countries using the US as a base.
It occurs to me if we can first originate a laundry list of the main activities or items ( and we can inclusive have the newbies help by suggesting some of the items they want on the list) and once we have the list then we can comment briefly how this is in Ecuador.
For example the list may look something like this:
1. schools
2.cost of utilities (breakdown)
3. medical
4. cost of food
etc
Then in schools for example Silver already has posted great info about how the teachers and students care, how the students are free of alcohol and other drugs in the majority etc.
Under medical we may add that this free thing IL says does not work and you need to go private. We can mention that Dr visit homes and are inexpensive. We can say if you are older than 65 no plan will take you etc
What do you guys think??
feel free to suggest anything different. I don't own this and my only intention is to help others answer the question of should they move since I have already answered my question.
Once done we can always refer newbies there and most of their questions will be answered. Also it can greatly help them in answering the great question IS ECUADOR for me???
It should be very simple and based on real experiences you guys have gone through. I don't want to compete with any book or "OWNER'S MANUAL" Right Boncur?
