EL CHEAPO AMERICANOS

I came to Cuenca in September after visiting other parts of Ecuador. I loved Cuenca and the people. I moved here with my two girls as a single mom. After being here for a month I found the stress and how nasty Americans are here. All I here from these people are, don't be taken advantage of, be careful the Ecuadorians are money hungry and will take advantage because you are a gringo. It is actually the other way around. The Americans here are the ones to watch. I found a few that are here and take advantage of the Ecuadorians because they can't do it in America. They have tried with me. So to all you Americans coming here because you are angry and bitter at the situation in America GO HOME...this place and the people are great.

It's called the UGLY AMERICAN syndrome! I agree that any and all americans that leave the states with bitterness, anger, fear and/or resentment should STAY in the states. This condition is not only in Cuenca, not only in Ecuador, but throughout the entire world. I am often ashamed to admit that I am american (living in costa rica) because I see and have experienced the ugliness that some americans demonstrate. The good side is that not all americans are this way. I hope and pray that it may be the happy, relaxed americans who are the ones to travel the world changing the ugliness with their display of kindness, compassion and love.
