I wanted to inform the community here that in my opinion Google Fi is not a good option for international phone service if you are going to be outside of the US for an extended period of time. My original plan was to use GoogleFi as my one and only phone as I read that people have used it successfully in Cuenca for long periods of time with the unlimited text and data international plan. At $76/month it was a little pricey but achieved everything that I needed. It would also work when I traveled to other countries.
I moved to Cuenca in June, 2022, and returned to US for 3 months in mid-August for my work. I returned in Mid-November and just received an email on January 7 from Google Fi saying they are terminating my international roaming plan as it is to be primarily used in the US and they see that I have been outside of the US for extended periods of time.
If you are looking for a sweet companion dog look no further. Matilda is an older dog so she is more low-keyed than a puppy and is friendly and sweet. She is a rescue that has been fostered but her foster mom is moving and will no longer be able to care for her. If you are interested in meeting her or have questions, please call Paola at 098 672 2197. Paola speaks English and is on WhatsApp.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in overall health.
High-dose vitamin C is crucial to a healthy body and contributes to your immune defense by supporting and directly stimulating various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Vitamin C is an essential antioxidant and is responsible for many functions in the body. While not all of our oral supplements are fully absorbed, IV delivery of Vitamin C ensures that 100% of the vitamin is bioavailable. In addition, when given high doses, vitamin C converts from an antioxidant to an oxidative therapy.
Massage is generally considered part of integrative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

• Reducing stress and increasing relaxation
• Reducing pain and muscle soreness, and tension
• Improving circulation, energy and alertness
• Lowering heart rate and blood pressure
• Improving immune function

You have been doing your best learning tenses, practicing with Bilingo and Tilingo however, you are still not able to be understood by native speakers.
It seems like they speak so fast, like a machine gun, right?
Do you know why?
Spanish is a syllable timed language (English and German are stress timed languages, this is what makes you sound foreign while speaking Spanish).
Languages are kinda music, the most we imitate the rhythm, the most we will sound alike natives, but maybe sounding native is not your goal but at least to be understood.
I first went to see Mateo about some questions I had regarding changes in the renewal of my rental contract.
He patiently answered all my questions and nimbly answered all my hypotheticals.
He thoroughly and completely explained all my options and, after some discussion and coaching, we agreed that the least aggressive posture would be for me to write a letter to the landlords and explain my concerns and see how they would respond.

For our first menu of 2023, we’re going tropical and Asian for the two savory dishes. The casserole is a twist on the traditional chicken and rice and features a tangy, salty-sweet sauce highlighting the pineapple and tender-crisp vegetables. Shredded carrots and lots of other crunchy veggies are the base of this menu’s salad tossed in a sesame ginger dressing. A tropical dessert of fresh mangoes baked with a crunchy oatmeal crust is the perfect sweet for this menu.

Asian Carrot Salad: $8/lb (2-3 servings)

These days, self-care is more important than ever. With everything going on the world, it’s crucial that we take time out to focus on our well-being, on our bodies, our hair, nails, etc. Experts have written volumes on the value of a self-care routine. Making sure you take time to take care of yourself has been proven to improve energy, focus, productivity, and happiness, and to reduce stress and anxiety. It can even help with depression.
While a massage, a mani/pedi, or a facial might seem self-indulgent, think about it this way: You take your car in for regular oil changes, but you’re not “indulging” your car by taking care of it! You’re making sure it runs its best so it’s reliable and can be there for you when you need it. And don’t forget to pamper yourself. A brow wax, a massage, new nails, a facial, a cute haircut, a nice color tone that matches with your personality. Remember the joy of seeing your hair swing in a fresh, luscious way, the joy of a fun new manicure, or the joy of that dang crick in your neck feeling better for a while. or that post-massage glow. Simply feeling good inside will make you prettier than any makeup ever could. All these little benefits of being human are available to you at C&C a family hair salon and barber shop, where you can choose a beauty professionals.
