I am a 63-year-old American currently teaching English in China. Am really looking forward to retiring in Ecuador, but must wait till SS kicks in in a couple of years. First time in my life I wish I were older.
At any rate, a rich relative is flying me home this summer; I will be in the New York City metro area first few weeks of August. I was wondering if any current or future expats will be in the area at the same time. Would love to chat.
Thanks.

We retirees in Ecuador are such that we need to be kept in two distinct cages. This is the one for the unruly. Me being a stoolie trustee get to go back and forth between them. Some of the primates in this cage fling excrement at visitors and then giggle, its all in good fun, they don't have anything else to do and have limited vocabs.

Nothing here should give you an impression of Ecuador as a place to live....you must go there and stay a couple of months to get even a faint idea of how you'd feel retiring there.

I like it....but its true I get several months a year here in vacationland.
