gracias

[papi]

when i was in colombia the last few times it was a fashion show. one beauty after the other. Very different than the Southern Texas Tubbies. I find it hard to believe Ecuador can hold a candle to it but if you say so. You have been around as much or more than me

[el_ruso]

Ecuador (Quito at least) is a fascinating country, and would be a great place to raise a family.  Infrastructure is superior to anywhere in Colombia, costs are low, the place is clean, and there are hardly any street sellers.  It appears to be a LOT more organized.  Nature is beautiful and there are a lot of good daytrips available.  It also appears to be a lot safer.  The city is prettier than anywhere in Colombia, except maybe for Cartagena. 

However, in terms of venues to party, fashion and especially appearance of women it does not even come close.  IMHO.  KB's wife is beautiful, but from what I have seen with my eyes, she is definitely an exception.  Ecuador is a lot slower, more conservative and low-key.

Having said that, Ecuador does not require visas for colombians, so I would definitely suggest anyone who wants to visit with their gf to take her there instead of Panama or San Andres.  It is a profoundly fascinating country.

i dont doubt that Ecuador is a profoundly fascinating country. However, there are many wonderful things to share and explore with your novia in both Panama and San Andres

[el_ruso]

I am sure that when (and if) she will end up with you in S Texas she will be "exploring" the fascinating things in Lubbock and Amarillo.

LOL!!! I guess they don't teach Texas geography in Moscow

[Kiltboy1]

Sorry papi

Ecuador is a fascination and very historical country and has some of the most diverse topography of any country in Latin America. has some of the best vistas en LA, the highest cablecar in LA and the amazon, volcano's and of course the Galapagos. panama is a snooze compared to Ecuador, a Snooze !!!!!!

[el_ruso]

Lubbock and Amarillo are in Texas.  If that's too far for you, you could drive her to Laredo I guess. 

[papi]

so now you are disparaging Texas? What, not enough culture in the lone star state? Houston I will let you know happens to be among the nations' largest cities and offers a wide variety of museums, theater, shopping, food and not to mention hundreds if not thousands of strip clubs 

[papi]

KB, I have no problem with volcanoes and the Galapagos, but i think most guys are here to try and find a girlfriend...lol

[Kiltboy1]

Agreed

I thought that that my amigo Russo was saying that Ecuador was a great place to take  GF and i was saying that is a great place and yes there are some real Ugo's in Quito, i have met some ladies that are real stars and have no gringo contact at all in there lives and want me to hook them up, but i be damed if i will hook them up with any of the COLOMBIA IS THE FRIGEN BOMB GUYS, i Will hook them up with guys that want a good woman of culture ,not materialistic at all, Ecuador has hidden wonders and i will be happy to introduce any good guy to them.

[el_ruso]

KB,

I basically agreed with you that Ecuador is better than Panama to visit as a destination.

P-y

I am not disparaging Texas.  I lived half of my life there in Houston, and yes Houston is a very nice place to live.  I was questioning your priorities for travel and suggesting that Ecuador is far superior to - for instance - San Andres.

[Frank Rizzo]

Let's be honest El Ruso, Houston is only somewhat nice a few months a year. The summers there are like living on the sun. If your're in Houston, get out before it's just a glowing ember. Other than the extreme heat in the summers, it's a great city.

Bring your NASA, teflon covered jump suit!!!!

[el_ruso]

The problem is not even heat per se, but the humidity.  And at night it does not really get breezy either.  Climate sucks, but in many other ways it is a great place.  I do like Miami better

[utopiacowboy]

I am sure that when (and if) she will end up with you in S Texas she will be "exploring" the fascinating things in Lubbock and Amarillo.

Those cities are in Texas but not in South Texas. My wife loves Texas and for a Colombiana who only speaks Spanish, I can't imagine a better place.

As for the humidity, Houston is very humid but that drops off as you go further west.

When you take her to Lubbock don't forget to take her to see Prairie Dog Town. Got to be up there in the top 200,000,000 Wonders of the World!
