Muggings, rapes , stealing money or anything of any value happens all the time.<br />You dont dare travel at night, dont dare go anywhere alone. That is a problem for me and Im by myself.So everything comes with a price but this price is too much.<br />If I reach a point where my payck. wont allow me to eat, then Ill think about moving to Ecuador.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17482029.post-76390407209239542872010-11-24T22:03:22.855-08:002010-11-24T22:03:22.855-08:00I think more people have and will be leaving the U...I think more people have and will be leaving the US because they aspire to a higher quality of life.

There are so many technological changes with mobile voip, the Internet, and other technological changes that it's much easier to discover a new place and not feel like you're losing all your old friends and family in the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
