Does anyone know about the income requirements for renting an apartment in Guayaquil, Ecuador? Is it required to get a Ruc to prove you have income? I am an online English teacher from the US. I notice some of the listings have that.
Thanks in advance

I just did a wire transfer from my US bank to JEP and thought I’d share with the community the fun new procedures that now exist (thanks to the US government’s updated anti-money-laundering procedures).
When I did a wire transfer two and a half years ago, I had to do none of what is listed below for a smaller wire transfer than what I did this past week.
JEP will now ask you to identify the source of the funds, and to provide documentation that supports that source. In addition to six months’ worth of bank statements from the account where the money is coming from, there are additional requirements:
Sweet, petite Lupita was rescued from the highway recently. She is about 2 years old and only 7.5 kg. She has the most adorable ear fringe and is very cheerful and docile.
She does very well with other doggies and walks well with a leash. Due to her manageable size, she would be a suitable apartment dog! She currently does her business outdoors when prompted to take a walk.
She has been spayed, wormed, vaccinated and given flea meds.
Would you like to give this darling little girl a new chance at life?

The Hop Factory is an impressive Cuenca brewery. They create beer for all tastes, and just recently added a line of lower calorie/carb beers. We have tried two of those, and they are perfect; especially for the warm sunny days we’ve enjoyed recently. The Hop Factory is located in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood setting just across from the Machangara River linear park and not far off of Gonzalez Suarez. But they also have home delivery available. What more could you ask for?
Address: East side of Cuenca on Calle del Himno and La Bandera Nacional.

This is about the not-so-obvious benefits of having Victor Ojeda help facilitate your driver’s license application or renewal, among many other things.
For seven and a half years, Victor has been my go-to secret for making life easier in Cuenca. He has helped me find things, buy things, file things, apply for things, schedule things, interpret things, plus drive me wherever and serve as translator.
But he just helped me renew my auto and motorcycle driver’s licenses, and it made me aware of the not-so-obvious benefits of having him on “my team”:
1. He has accumulated and stored all manner of vital information about me in his cell phone. So, when we’re going through any kind of bureaucratic process, he quickly answers everybody’s requests for information so I don’t have to. Usually, all I have to do is sign the required paperwork.
Special dish: Fusion of South Africa and Indian Ocean this week:
* Yellow rice with raisins (Geelrys) and Fish croquettes (Samakai wa kusonga), accompanied with Sauteed cabbages (Kaanga Kabeji) 1-2 portions $8. Additional Dessert: Pumpkin fry (Vitobosha na boga) $1.50.
Appetizers or finger food to keep frozen and reheat:
– Pizza rolls, Q: 25. Price $10. Veggie or with ham or pepperoni.
– Finger mozzarella (fried or baked) Q: 20. Price $6.
– Mini Venezuelan empanadas (made with corn flour) (veggie, beef or cheese) Q: 20. Price $8.
– Beef, chicken or Veggie balls. Q: 25. Price : $10.
– Mini potatoes cake with cheese, beef or veggie. Q: 20. Price: $6.
– Mini wanton filled with veggies, beef or chicken. Quantity: 25. Price: $10.
– Mini pastries filled with fruits, chicken, beef Or veggies. Q: 20. Price: $10.

I want to bring back more than 3 liters of scotch whiskey I return from EEUU to EC. Does anyone know how much duty is paid when it’s no longer duty free?
A link to the exact rule is much appreciated. I’ve seen everything from 25% of price of bottles to $7.34 more per bottle and don’t know what’s correct.
Thank’s

Four days ago, I found this cute little dog right outside our gate. She was sitting on the sidewalk in a very weird way so I went closer to see what was wrong. As I went close enough, I realized that she was shaking and injured very badly. She had two deep infected cuts in her breasts and a couple other wounds in her back. Because she is a mom and had cuts in her breasts, her milk was dripping down on the side walk. As terrified as I was, I took her to a vet where she went through a surgery and got stitched up.

About Jan: Considered by many to be a “World-Class” massage therapist, Jan Wallace has been performing massage therapy since her original licensing by the Oregon State Board of Health in 1983. She has studied almost every massage technique out there, and over the course of 30 years, blended the best-of-the best into her own massage style that’s an incredibly relaxing, therapeutic, invigorating, and an almost “spiritual” experience.
She can perform very light to very deep tissue techniques, and encourages the client to express their preferences, so she can create a custom experience for them.
