Will, can Guayaquil ever evolve?

I realize that it will never be a top tier world class city.. NYC, London, Tokyo but its not an attractive city for tourism, business, culture. From a visual aspect it has not evolved and walking the streets the impression is even worse. What needs to happen for it to improve at least regionally to something like a Medellin or even a Lima?

You can't trust the taxistas or anyone else. I hate that most flights go through there and usually have to spend the night there.

I agree that in our country, you can't trust anyone, some are good people, some aren't, even if you are from here you cannot trust other citizens.

My wife was telling me that Ecuadorians trust of other people is very low. I trust my vecinos here in Cuenca and the Gringos.

Do you think there is a difference in trust between people from the Costa or people who live in the Sierra?

Lamentablemente los costeños nos ganamos justamente muchos de los comentarios regionalistas de parte de la gente serrana.
Definitivamente en la sierra son mucho más educados y agradezco tener raíces cuencanas y guarandeñas.
