Probably won't find out for sure for a bit longer than that.
We have a bit of a rep for taking our time processing things here in Ecuador.
Best,

....yes, we'll have to see. my post is kind of Vonnegut type humor....where Ecuador has a chance to "make a split" from Chavezian idealogy and also where Ecuador used to be the "banana capital" of the World.
will Ecuador return to those days of an agricultural type country mixed with tourism?? or, will they join teams with VZ?? surely, they have "split" from the US...that's for sure, except their currency (which is good overall for the European tourism)...
btw: this topic is somewhat related to ESL teaching in Ecuador (at least long-term) |

...well, EC and VZ must be talking a lot by phone EC just adopted the exact same oil policy that VZ has....take 99.9% of the profits after crude, and give the companies a check...instead of the other way around.
of course, none of the major oil companies showed up for the meeting, surprise surprise. |
