In 
What's up I try to give you general information about this country, similar to what you may find in any Travel Guide books.


It should be of some interest to people, who plan to visit Ecuador.



The first few chapters are fairly straightforward, like Travel Tips where you find useful travel and general facts for visitors.


In Embassy there are locations, working hours
(if you can call it work, what are our pampered diplomats do) and telephone numbers of various country's diplomatic missions.


What to bring in currency and how much, is dealt with in Money.


The section on
Health intends to give you common sense
pre-caution measures, you should take in our country but also news
of any new outbreak of diseases in the country.


Personal Safety is becoming unfortunately more and more an issue and you find here my thoughts on how best to behave to avoid problems and other issues you ought to be aware of.


 The location, opening times and exhibits of the various institutions, like museums, galleries and  zoological parks are shown in Exhibitions.


Markets
does not deal with stocks and bonds but Indian handicrafts and artwork and where you can find them and what days the market is on.


Events
features a calendar of upcoming concerts, bullfights, football games and town festivals. It is also a guide for people, who like to join our own planned tours and trips, where spaces are still available.


Ethnicity
deals with the present-day representations of aboriginal Indian groups and other distinct minorities, who arrived later.


In the chapter of Society I present my thoughts on politics, economics and life of the Ecuadorian society in general.


History
gives you a short summary of past events so you may understand the present better.


Last but not least I provide you with a Forum, where you can express yourself in and tell about your adventures and experiences you made in Ecuador. Humor me and others with your insights.



In some sections there are links to related Websites but expect most of them to be in Spanish as it happens to be one of the official languages of Ecuador and the one most widely used (Quechua is the other one).

By the way, how did you like this first crumb of information presented here, if you did, click on and enrich your knowledge of our small but beloved South American country.
 

Note: Some chapters are incomplete as there exist a lot of information and as this is a personal e-project of mine, time is often a missing factor. But the already existing pages should be worth your time to enter and if you need more exact information write me an E-mail and I try to answer it that way.
