I Withdraw My Questions

11 years ago

Late last night I joined this "group" to ask a few questions about hiring a truck/moving co., etc for my upcoming move from Vilcabamba to Puerto Lopez,
EC. I also asked about information on house rentals, etc. But I withdraw my questions so please do not trouble yourselves. I am scanning over questions like: Can I buy propane in EC, can't locate an organic food store in Vilcabamba even though I have walked around all over town, & other queries.
So I will find a mover or whatever I need on my own, like maybe speaking the local language here (Spanish) and talking to some locals to arrange my move. I doubt that this missive will even pass
censorship and be published, but just in case it is, here is my advice to all of you wanna be expats out there:
Step back, take a deep breath and hold onto your 401ks for just a bit longer before you take the plunge and (gasp) leave the United States or wherever for uncharted waters.
Simply enroll in a course offering basic Spanish 101, learn to speak the language, then come on down and check out EC for yourselves.
You will save yourselves a lot of time, $$$, and confusion asking questions of people in these "help"' forums who apparently have so much time on their hands that they use this EC expat group as a place to test out their poor literary writing skills sparring with other "expats".
And that's all I have to say about That. Best regards, AB.
I am out of this group after less than 24 hours, and I will not respond to any emails so don't bother.
