\r\nVoting in elections is mandatory in Ecuador \u2014 every citizen must vote. Citizens of voting age receive a national ID card in the mail, take it to the the voting location, deposit the ballot, a stamp is placed on the back of the card and embossed. Citizens cannot do anything without this card \u2014 some examples: get a loan, rent a house, buy a car.\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n

<\/div>\r\n[rev_slider QuitoUpright]\r\n\r\nSome of my observations: \r\n1) prices are really cheap in Ecuador \u2014 a lunch cost $2.75 that would cost $8 elsewhere\r\n2) they use the US dollar for their currency but the coins are not the same as the ones used in USA (but they say \u201cUnited States of America\u201d on them)\r\n3) Quito\u2019s geography includes an active volcano \r\n4) Ecuador\u2019s cities are all connected by freeways\r\n5) the slopes around Quito are covered with greenhouses \u2014 cut flowers are one of the country\u2019s biggest exports (plus crude oil)
