Loja is well-known in Ecuador as the capital of the artists and musicians. Well that is just a fame. The city is rather boring, small and boring. Maybe because I had this romantic idea about it. There is almost no research about international migration and remittances in Loja. The two universities of the city (one public, one private) are concerned with issues of agriculture and agro-business and distance education. Communications in the province are by far worse than those in Azuay. Some places are relatively close by it takes ages to get there. And not always one can get there. Research is going to be challenging here. 
There is one good thing about the city of Loja: its parks. There are a lot of them, big and really neat. So, I guess I must get into sports next year!

Pues como veis ya estamos en Loja. Llueve, lo que hace que no podamos disfrutar de los parques de la ciudad, lo unico asi realmente bonito. La ciudad es muy alargada, más como un pueblo, y muy tranquila. Ah no!! miento, el domingo estuvimos escuchando a la banda municipal tocando cumbias o yo que sé que era. Para haberlo visto. Imaginaros lo entretenidos que estabamos que casi casi vamos a misa por hacer algo (pero solo casi casi!).
