As far as I am concerned dryers are not necessary in Ecuador. Washers yes, dryers no.

Not required for short stays but if relocating full time you definetely need one. Check out Gringos Aboard for a more explanative process of obtaining an Ecuadorian drivers license.

Concrete and rebar, if you noticed the earthquakes in Mexico and Chile, they were both quite major but due to their building techniques the damage was minor and no casualties unlike Haiti where the building techniques are quite primitive.

I don’t believe so, if you goto the XM website the map they provide for coverage does not show Ecuador.

San Pablo is nice.

Try Ibarra, not actually in the city itself but in the surrounding area.

I think Guayaquil has come down in price due to the crime rate. Quito has an abundance of decent rentals as well. For $500 you will get something really nice.

You will definetely love Ecuador for sure. An abundance of fresh fish especially on the coast, Many varieties that I had not heard of or seen before also.
