Expats in Ecuador: Life In Cuenca
Authors Deke Castleman and David Morrill combine ten years of living in the world’s hottest expatriation destination – Cuenca, Ecuador – to provide an incisive overview of adapting to and adopting a Cuenca-expat lifestyle. Their points of view, honed over the course of a decade in the Cuenca school of hard knocks, are razor-sharp.
Topics include: gringo prices, a reality check; the destiny of the U.S. dollar in Ecuador (where the dollar is the currency); why Cuenca means good health; what to expect from the local buses and taxis; how many more immigrants Cuenca can absorb; the profound cultural implications of crossing the street; such cultural conundrums as punctuality, efficiency, and honesty; challenges for couples; the day-to-day impact of the government; and much much more.
Packed with the big-picture perspective, personal experiences, and inside info (for example, the one thing you can carry that will make life easy; how to buy a popular pill for men for ten cents on the dollar over the counter; and the one challenge that almost guarantees you won’t make it in Cuenca – and it’s not Spanish), Life in Cuenca will engage current expats in their own stories and inform prospective expats of exactly what’s to come.
