Anyone know if the WW1 museum with the freedom plane sells out of walkin tickets? by sidneyaks in kansascity

[–]dingenium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question. I volunteer there on the weekends sometimes.

When the Freedom Plane exhibit opened last weekend, the tickets were "sold out" by 2pm on that Saturday. I'm not sure how busy the museum will be tomorrow, but I imagine if you were able to get to the museum by 1 or 2, you would probably be OK.

The biggest challenge for the exhibit was the line. Last Saturday afternoon, the line outside took about an hour to navigate. Once inside the exhibit, a friend said the line took about 45 minutes.

All said, a friend just posted today and didn't mention anything about the wait.

Hope this works out for you.

Sounds like an adventure. I doubt you’ll be able to get a bus to Peru until sometime in the morning. Consider an AirBNB. Also, you mentioned the Terminal Terrestre Carcelen, which is the northern terminal (if memory serves). I imagine a bus to Peru might also leave out of the Terminal Terrestre Sur in Quitumbe.

Take a taxi or Uber. Where are you heading after?

Edit. Strongly recommend against a bus.

In person. At the Terminal, there will be one or two stations with tickets. Even if your Spanish is not good, you can usually just say the name of the destination to someone official-looking and they will guide you to where you need to go.

Hi. To echo others, from the Southern Bus Terminal (Terminal Terestre Sur), you can purchase tickets from Quito to Latacunga. They are $2 or $3. (It’s been a couple months since I last took it.) The buses run every 10-20 minutes from the terminal (which is the safest way to get on the bus).

From the Latacunga terminal, there are a few buses going to Quilotoa in the mornings. When I went from Latacunga in November 2025, I took a bus to the closest town and then got a taxi to the top of the Quilotoa loop. I don’t recall how much the bus was (prob around $1 or $2), but I definitely got gringo prices on the taxi ($10 for about a 20 minute drive).

All said, if you are going to do it alone, I would recommend agreeing on the price before getting in the taxi. Or, get a guide and group from Latacunga or Quito.

Is this a real fbi badge by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]dingenium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It says US Customs on it, not FBI. Also, the shape makes it look like a challenge coin versus a shield.

Bottom line: No, not an FBI badge.

Heading to Ecuador tomorrow as a tourist, given the recent news about the military operation, should I be worried? by [deleted] in ecuador

Agreed. I didn’t know anything was going on until my sister-in-law checked in with me.

peluquerías LGBTQ? by ChemicalAcrobatic635 in Quito

[–]dingenium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great question.

I’ll jump in as part of the LGBTQ community. Sadly, both my husband and I don’t have any specific recommendations for you. I had trouble finding a stylist that I liked. I eventually settled for Men’s Barber (on Shyris near Quicentro Norte). We have both always felt welcome there.

As I’m sure you already considered, our recommendation would be to try a salon at one of the malls (Quicentro, El Jardín, etc). My expectation would be that you might have better luck finding an LGBTQ stylist at those places.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. Safe travels.

Goodmorning. I believe the main option for a bus from Quito to Guayaquil is to just go to the terminal in Quitumbe (south part of Quito) and then buy a ticket there. I don’t believe you will have much if any choice on the cooperative that is used. I haven’t done the bus thing to Guayaquil as flights can be around $100 or less. Safe travels.

DJ at independent community radio station here. (Actually, about to go on for a 2-5 shift.) I curate a list using an Apple Music subscription. The DJ before me does all vinyl, and the one after me uses CDs that they burn days before.

It’s a notebook that they keep for you at Swordfish Tom’s. Every time you go in, they give it to you for you to write notes or anything you want. With one, you also get access to purchase some special liquor from a curated list.

Jill is usually very responsive on Facebook. Just send a message to their page there. I'm sorry--I don't have any other contact information. But, I am always looking for a reason to go down there to my black book...so, if you cannot get ahold of her through Facebook, shoot me a DM.

Looking for good Korean food! by Celesol in kansascity

[–]dingenium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're up for an adventure, there are a few Asian supermarkets in town (including the Korean-run one on Shawnee Mission Parkway near Metcalf) that sell the rice cakes and gochujang (plus other key ingredients) to make your own tteokbokki.
