Why People THINK Quito Is More Expensive than Cuenca Ecuador
It took us writing numerous articles
and making videos on this subject, using ourselves as the guinea pigs,
not the roasted kind! to encourage newcomers to Cuenca that it was
perfectly safe and okay to live NOT in the same old trumpeted tourist foreigner enclaves.
If you look for an apartment in Quito in
a tourist zone expect to pay the inflated tourist prices. It’s not
complicated. You must decide, “Am I a tourist, or a resident"? If you
live in Quito than why pay tourist prices!?
This would dictate
that you find out what the local prices really are instead of just
comparing the tourist price to your price back home. Big mistake. You can find out more in the DIY Quito Landing Guide. Read More of this article...

We're Taking the City Bus in Manta Ecuador
The city buses in Manta are smaller and more compact than the city buses in Cuenca. The Manta city buses are a bit more cramped, and be ready for a bumpy ride. Another thing that is different about the coastal city buses is there's usually a guy hanging out the door, yelling and whistling for passengers to board the bus. I guess people on the coast do not know where their buses go? The country-wide or national buses are comfortable, however.
