United States: looking to buy ONLY 5,000 sqm rural land:
Hello. What you're talking about is looking to purchase 1.235 acres of land. One acre is 4047 sq. meters. This is not a problem. You can purchase a single acre of rural land all over the place if you look hard enough. Many rural home sites are less than one acre. It really depends on land development regulations in the area you're looking to purchase. In many rural areas, property cannot be divided into anything smaller than 5 acres parcels, which amount to 20,235 sq. meters.

Hi Pilardel. I could provide you with a very accurate translation, far more accurate than any translation software, but I need details, like how many pages are we talking about and how soon do you need the translation complete? Just let me know. Thanks, Tom
Ecuador: Ecuador shifting to an E-Cash Society:
This is a very dangerous move, towards a cashless society. Any country with a privately-owned central bank has already given up control over their main currency's purchasing power. To then give up physical possession of the same currency is very stupid. The central bank claims that they want to include marginalized sectors/industries... How benevolent of them... In return for their genuine concern and efforts, they'll be able to instantly tax each transaction in this wonderful new system. No more money changing hands with the maid without the bankers getting a piece of the action. And now, a single keyboard stroke can change your account balance to zero. What happens in the even of a communications systems failure? Will people just resort to transacting with tagua nuts and sea shells until things come back online? How can this be an e-sucre when there is no sucre anymore? It's not. It's essentially an e-dollar. But what it ultimately is, is naïve and dangerous for the populous, and great for the bankers.

Ecuador: lost mail?:
The fastest shipping I've experienced between Quito, EC and WA, US was 2 weeks, but typically, it takes longer. The last three shipments were closer to one month. One of them took exactly 41 days. If you don't already have this URL, it may be of use to you: http://ipsweb.correosdelecuador.com.ec/ipswebtracking/
Ecuador: I arrive in Quito @ midnight tonight:
Cub, while you're in Quito, I would think about checking out Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the world Site) and Inti Ñan (House of the Sun - actual location of equator)
Here is a link to a map of the places I visited a few months ago on a 16 day road trip: http://goo.gl/PDJeMz
(It’s a little slow to load, due to all the location data)
Feel free to contact me and I'll provide you with an additional e-mail address if you want to talk some more.
Have an awesome time!
Tom
