I intend this to be a fun question, and invite you to play with it. More a subject of interest, rather than information-seeking. What I mean by "unique to Ecuador or Latin America" is that it was a new thing to you after you moved ...

I hope that happens! Read More

cccmedia, my condolences. I'll be moving out of my apartment soon, and I expect the terrible management company to attempt some gouges for things that were a problem already when I moved in. We tried to have them fix things, but.... Well it ... Read More

I think it will be more interesting if we steer away from the benefits of the money going farther. We already know about that. Let's make this be about Ecuador. Read More

Buying meat in Cuenca by ssocha
Hello. A pre-expat here, moving to Cuenca this autumn. What are meat prices like? For chicken, fish, ground meat? Is tofu a thing? And how about yogurt, and what are the milk and egg prices like?

Thank you. I've checked this before. From what I can tell, the site doesn't allow me to find a price by searching. Read More
