Moving to Quito....freaking out about La Mariscal assaults by yggdrasill
I'm moving to Quito with my husband. I'm worried about safety. Don't get me wrong--I grew up in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic but I'm a bit out of practice with a third world country and I won't have a car. There's been about 580 assaults in La ...

This story is definitely going to scare a bunch of people off. I too wonder the validity of it but always giving even questionable information the benefit of the doubt. I am left with reservation as well. I have heard stories here and there like ... Read More

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Are you leaving Quito or Ecuador now? Do you feel it's like this all the time and all over? Or more of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Here in the states we hear about murders and heinous crimes ... Read More
I'm sure glad to see some dialog going on around here... by neweller
I have been doing a lot of reading on Ecuador as a whole like many of you. I find some things just downright disturbing in the way some of the different people described things in their blogs. Some seem pretty straight shooting and others are ...
mugtech, are you in Ecuador? I was hoping for at least an email response to my request since it involved at least three families. They are probably swamped. Yeah, I probably better become a little more patient like my wife. lol. I can be though. ... Read More
Gender bias / male chauvinism by joeyeggs

My wife isn't really concerned about moving where there are other filipina's. She has not been around very many in all the years she has lived in the states. She actually came to the states as a child. We spent a good portion of 2011 in the ... Read More

Hi, I'm new to this blog too. I have traveled around to a few third world countries and understand your concerns. My son is thinking of taking a teaching position in Quito, moving from the Philippines. We heard all the horror stories about the same ... Read More
