    <body><![CDATA[&quot;Living Poor&quot; is Thomsen's chronicle of how, in middle life, after failing as a farmer, he became a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador.

And the writing is good - Thomsen even had me chuckling out loud at times in response to his dry, witty sense of humor.

He also stayed in a small village in Ecuador for 4 years.

    <body><![CDATA[I admit I did appreciate this book more because of being in Ecuador, but Moritz is a great writer.  He does a fabulous job of describing the arrogance outsiders have in &quot;helping&quot; others.  Frustrations, joys, questions - I really enjoyed it and will seek out more of his books to read.]]></body>
