As we mentioned in the video, we're going to discuss President Elect Lasso's top 10 policy plan for Ecuador in this week's newsletter. It may be surprising to some, while calming to others. Whether he follows through with his plan remains to be seen, but at least we'll know what's on his mind.

Guys, it's a pleasure to watch your videos and have a glimpse of my beloved Ecuador through the lens of your camera. Hope to meet you there for a coffee once the pandemic is over. Cheers!
Amelia and jp son geniales sus videos son originales y bacansisimo sigan asi buscando gente que hable sobre nuestro país y si hay gente de otro país q vivan aquí hablar con ellos sería genial ☺☺☺☺☺☺
I checked out Olon in 2017 as a possible place to move to. Loved its simplicity and connect with Ecuadorian culture. Things have changed so much in the last couple years. The Last Resort ... "And you can see them there On Sunday morning They stand up and sing about What it's like up there They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise Kiss it goodbye" Sad to see another lovely place succumb to Western ways.
Ohh, Quimbita’s art is really cool! I used to go to the Quimbita Bar and Art Gallery at Las Peñas in Guayaquil. Not sure if that place still exists but it was great!
I was really surprised that you said that there was no chili powder. That was going to be one of my questions to ask you about its availability. Thanks for the video I always look forward to them.
Hi guys I am not even half way watching your video and I am so jealous. I am from Quito, my huby from the US we live in Playas and as plant based people the only thing we can get here is rice and beans....but at least we have water 😉 I enjoy you videos. Gracias¡
Once again i love your video. Guys you need to visit Esmeraldas. Such a beautiful state from Ecuador. You will love Mompiche, Sua, Atacames. And as you like Manabí too i recomended you to visit Bahía de Caraquez too. Take care.
Hi guys! I just began watching your videos and am truly enjoying watching your adventures! Out of curiosity, how did you move from from Cuenca to Olon? Did you hire movers? Thank you!
Hey! There is the lil store that i work and also sell books in spanish and english 😁 Ps: The Coffee shop is partially open, we offer acai bowls, smoothies, vegan club sandwich coffee, artesanal beer and wine
JP . . . where are the Hawaiian print shirts? Come on . . . . It's awesome that Olon is growing, but I hope it doesn't get toooooo big! Thanks for the video! Second part had the shirt! NICE! I love you guys . . . .
I just discovered your channel and the videos. My husband and I have been considering Ecuador for awhile now. It there a way to reach you privately for questions?

The water issue is because this is a new province in Ecuador they splitted from Guayas a few years ago and I guess they still need some improvements in their infrastructure, but it's just a matter of time. My mom lived there 5 years ago and believe me, it looks way better than it used to. I ate at that italian restaurant once.
Can't wait to our trip to Ecuador next month. We plan to visit Quito,,Banos, Cuenca, Salinas, and Guayaquil in 2 weeks time. Is Olon worth a trip from Salinas?
Hi friends! Three days ago I became a member of your group and I have received dozens of congrats for a comment I made about you. I am simply in awe of such a response by so many members of the group! But there is something I would like to refer to that draw my attention during the process of registration. In item No. 3 there is a demand to ask for your permission in case members want to promote something on the group. And you mentioned to get in touch with you but you didn’t indicate how. As that is my case, please let me know where I can tell you what kind of service I would like to make public for the rest of the members. Thank you so very much.
Hello Amelia And JP! Well, the Presidential election was high drama! Arauz won the first round. But Perez's indigenous followers pushed Lasso over the top. A U.S. friendly government will help with exports and tourism. Anyway, wonderful video of Olon. Very different from the big cities, Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca. Vaccinations are moving along in the U.S. I got my Johnson&Johnson shot first week of April. (First week 50 and over could get one). One step closer to traveling internationally. Keep us informed of the circumstances in the beach communities. Looking forward to stopping by. ---LADRIVER.
When you get cable services, you can just use the remote control and change it. If there is a channel only in Spanish it will have English captions anyway.
Really great stuff. I wish Ecuador would concentrate more on drinkable water, though. I wonder why that is not a very high priority. I guess they just don't value it like we do in the US. Or maybe the expense is the problem.
That's why I added that maybe the expense is the problem. I see Ecuador doing a lot of projects for their people, but it seems to me drinkable water should be high on the priority list.
‘ Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you Olón? How do I get you Olón??!?!!!! Olón!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...Olón!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Kind of interesting to come to Ecuador and complain about the government not building you a salination plant or a pipeline so you can have excess water in an area that is a native bosque seco. Maybe you should do a vlog about the ecological aspects and impact of tourist coming to this area and how Forest restoration would help the sustainability of population increase in an area that clearly doesn’t have water resources!

His art is amazing! I think I will buy a piece. Thank you for featuring him.
Get ready to shell out some $$$. I went to his gallery in Cuenca. Most were $3,000 - $5,000. Of course I’m sure a deal could be struck though.
Goodtoknow you have meet OlmedoQuimbita,i reallylikehis art,in factI have two of paints,great artist

Quimbita LOVES the Coast. I remember he used to have a gallery-bar located on the stairs of Las Peñas in Guayaquil too
Amelia And JP bienvenidos a Ecuador todo el tiempo que quieran saludos desde Ecuador Quito ,Dios los bendiga

The Last Resort ...
"And you can see them there
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
What it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise
Kiss it goodbye"
Sad to see another lovely place succumb to Western ways.
Art always brings life and renewal in a community ✨ ❤ 💕. Without art life is 😴 boring. Keep pushing it and keep us posted.
Absolutely!!
Ohh, Quimbita’s art is really cool!
I used to go to the Quimbita Bar and Art Gallery at Las Peñas in Guayaquil. Not sure if that place still exists but it was great!
I like that personalized plaque on the wall behind you!
Thanks!

Muy Bien Simple words in Spanish
But Consistent Si Se Puede
Great Video 😊
¡Gracias!
Can't wait to our trip to Ecuador next month. We plan to visit Quito,,Banos, Cuenca, Salinas, and Guayaquil in 2 weeks time. Is Olon worth a trip from Salinas?
It's a great little town with a beautiful beach but it is small. I guess it is a personal preference.
Great timing! We should be there on just a couple of days! Who in Olon would you recommend for a massage after a flight and a bus ride?
There's a massage therapist named Paul in Olón. I don't have his contact info but you can find him on Facebook in the Olón Life group.
@@AmeliaAndJP thanks!

You can send us a message on Facebook (I'm assuming you are referring to our Facebook group).
Are there any internet cafès in Alòn? How about that as an add on to your list in the different locales?

I’m coming next month forv7?weeks. Thanks for the update.
Have fun!
Water would be a good thing:)
I haven't seen a question about the television service- Is there English TV available or is it all Spanish? Thanks for the great videos!!!
You can choice any language with the remote control
Well, we have cable so there is spanish and english channels 🤔
When you get cable services, you can just use the remote control and change it. If there is a channel only in Spanish it will have English captions anyway.
Really great stuff. I wish Ecuador would concentrate more on drinkable water, though. I wonder why that is not a very high priority. I guess they just don't value it like we do in the US. Or maybe the expense is the problem.
It's a poor bankrupt developing country. Not really a fair comparison to a global superpower and richest country in the world.
That's why I added that maybe the expense is the problem. I see Ecuador doing a lot of projects for their people, but it seems to me drinkable water should be high on the priority list.
I was in puerto Lopez two years ago...where is olon in relationship to p. L.?
Olón is 45 minutes south of Puerto Lopez.
Are you getting greego pricing?
Do you know how much the Hostel charges and the name please
This type of info is always in the video description: quimbita.com/es/
Just learning, thanks
As always : thank you Unconventionals.
Our pleasure!
‘ Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you

How do I get you Olón?
How do I get you Olón??!?!!!!
Olón!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...Olón!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are there any golf courses nearby?
I hope not. They are the number one polluters of water. At least in the United States they are.
There's a golf course in Manta and Guayaquil.
Off topic, but how is the vaccination situation being handled in Ecuador?
Right now they are vaccinating essential workers and people over 65.
What about schools? Can you home school there?
Get more info about that here: ua-cam.com/video/0xjX_SsFQUw/v-deo.html
Jp your neckline is plunging below Amelias ..... what’s up with that ?
