Ecuador the best and cheapest place to live in the world!
Ecuador—Where Anyone Can Afford the High Life
Since they moved to Ecuador, Lee and Peggy Carper haven't been able to spend more than $700 per month…no matter how hard they try. Their apartment is bigger than they need…they never cook (restaurants every day)…they have a maid (and someone else to do the laundry). Todo esto y el español también.

that's nice but only I will understand Spanish. my family will have no clue (except maybe my older brother...he knows some Spanish; and my younger one might have learned enough)

That's fine. Move to the mountains and learn Quichua instead.
I regret not learning much Quichua while I was there. |

source? what's high life? with 700 per month I can easily live (I'm living with less, with all I want, paying rent and all that stuf, in a expensive neightborhood, without never thinking about money)
Ecuador is beautiful, I'm sure it can be the best place to live. But the other hand of the coin is missing.(can I use this as an expression?)

robin and ookami - i've never been to ecuador, but i do live a rural lifestyle, and it's very inexpensive, yet quite complete.
i've been to madrid, and really liked it there. nevertheless, i know that no matter how nice the surroundings, "there's no place like home.". so, for many, i guess madrid has become "home". hermit Last edited by hermit; September 18, 2009 at 05:53 AM. |

ookami - "the other hand of the coin is missing." would be more natural in
english as "the other side of the coin is missing.". hermit |

-How nice hermit, I like that style of life. I'm sure it's complete, we don't need to much to live really well, the capitalysm try to make us(and it obtains it) think we need a lot.
-Thanks poli, and which would be a good translation for "La otra cara de la moneda esta faltando." or something like that? -Yes, but poli, for foreigners this places are very [very] economical because of the change. But it all depends on what is high life for you. I'm living with that, my parents need 5 times that to live as they like/do, for example. If you are a teacher, to win 700u$s you have to work in 4/5 courses, 4 hours a week each(without counting the time to correct tests, travel, prepare the classes, reunions, strikes, etc), at least. edit: thanks hermit
