Hi, I have been doing a lot of reading on "living in ecuador" and how everything is so affordable beyond belief.聽 I have been "dreaming" on how life would be.聽 There is a lot at stake considering the huge change in lifestyle, etc.聽 My biggest concern is the school system in Ecuador.聽 I haven't found much info on that maybe because a lot of people retire to Ecuador and do not necessarily have school aged children (is my guess).聽 Anyhow, my father lives in the outskirts of Guayaquil.聽 I am planning a 10 day trip in July 2010.聽 I hope to open my husband's eyes to how beautiful Ecuador truly is.聽 Anyways, any information given would be greatly appreciated.聽 Also, it seems the job market is not that great.聽 i have thought that maybe an online business would be good.聽 Not sure!

i would love to hear from you on any info you weed thru.

In Quito the best grammar/high school is the Academia de Cotopaxi.聽 This is where all the American diplomats and millionaires send their kids, and they only teach in English.聽 I don't know about Guayaquil, so I can't make a recommendation for there but there are excellent schools all over Ecuador in different price ranges, you just need to ask around.聽 Good luck.
