Hi Experts,
First, thanks for the recent free audio conference on Ecuador. All your inputs were very valuable.
My husband just returned from furnishing our condo near Canoa. Though we knew to expect imported items to be higher in cost, this fact of life led to a question. How do Ecuadorians afford everyday household items like toasters, blenders, internet and the like? My first response was that they just don’t have these items. But how do I know? Do they?
We know the cost of day-to-day living is way lower in Ecuador, but initially outfitting a home is quite a bit higher for appliances and so forth. So we wondered about the locals and how they can afford these necessities on their lower income.
On an unrelated question, does anyone know why U.S. DVD’s won’t play in other countries and vice versa? I sent down a bunch of movies but didn’t send a U.S. DVD player so they won’t play on the player we purchased there. That seems weird. Thanks, all of you.
