To be a Brit in Ecuador again

This blog will be active again in a few months. I'm going to return to living in Ecuador after two years away in Japan. I will be teaching Psychology at an Ecuadorian university.

Japan is OK, everything works, there is virtually no crime, it's clean. Ecuador is the cultural antipodean point: nothing works quite how it should, crime is ubiquitous and it's frequently a bit dirty.

But somehow it has so much more to offer. 

So it will become my home again in 2014.
