MSN just came out with a list of the 50 cheapest places to live in the world.
Ecuador was listed as # 30, with Mexico #19, Bolivia #16, The Philippines #15 and Colombia #10
It is obvious why the 9 cheapest are, for why would one want to live there?
#9 Syria
#5 Algeria
#4 Tunisia
#3 Pakistan
#2 Nepal
#1 India
Hope this helps any potential economic refugees.

I'm (mildly) surprised that Mexico is cheaper than Ecuador, and only a little behind Philippines -- but most of my experience in Mexico is in the northern borderlands, where the US effect is greater -- and, no doubt, I've faced gringo pricing.
Otherwise, pretty much as I'd expect. Thanks, Mug.
