Here in Ecuador, the $2 bills are considered a “good luck amulet”, but, someone has to give you one, as a gift. The “magic” doesn’t work if you receive it as a payment.
Since May 2019, the $2 bills are officially in circulation in Ecuador, when the Ecuadorian government brought some millions of dollars, in order to help the economy of small payments, but, the bills disappear. Actually, in Loja, I never saw one in circulation, only twice in Quito and one in Cuenca.
Phew! It’s been a busy couple of weeks at the Cuenca Soup Kitchen.
1. We were able to purchase, organize, and distribute school supply kits for all of the over 200 students in our program. Thank you!
2. We had a great visit with US Consul General, Brian Quigley and Alex Rodriguez, the Minister of Tourism of Guayas Province. In addition to discussing expat issues in Cuenca, the Consul General also contributed towards the school supply kit. Thank you!
3. Extra dry goods were distributed to those on the streets who cannot come to us.
4. St. Christopher’s Episcopal Mission donated a significant amount of hygiene goods which we were able to pass through to foundations we lend food support to. Thank you!
5. We distributed food kits to approximately 1,000 people. This is made possible by monthly donors for as little as $25 per month per family. Thank you!
6. And finally, we celebrated birthdays by sending home cakes and gifts so that families can continue their special traditions. Thank you!
To become a monthly donor please visit cuencasoupkitchen.org, click the donate button, and select the monthly option.

On Sept. 13 there was a post about having difficulty using the Azutaxi Application. The poster wrote this:
“I have a Google Pixel phone. It gets Android updates before any other brand. When the new Android 13 update was recently installed, I could no longer use Azutaxi.”
The following is from my friend, Jorge Naranjo. He is the developer of the Azutaxi App. Please let me know if this procedure solves your problem using the Azutaxi App.
Hi!
I am Dra. Daniela Carpio —a Cardiologist based out of Cuenca with a specialty in Cardiac Intensive Care. Upon my recent return from completing my studies abroad, I opened my medical practice at Hospital del Rio, and it would be an honor to serve you there.
Dear community,
I’m a local English teacher interested in creating a group between my university students and some willing expats or native speakers of English. The aim is to give them the opportunity to exchange information about interesting experiences from other cultures. Cuenca is a city that has a wide community of foreigners who are also willing to be in touch with locals. Some Spanish could be used too if agreed.
Once the group is confirmed, the only thing expected from foreigners is to agree on a day we can meet one or twice a month to have a nice conversation about topics selected.
Let me know if you are interested in providing this voluntary service as you make new friends including teachers and students who will take advantage of everything you can share in different city sites.

Hello to all the foreign community living in Ecuador.
If you are in Ecuador without a valid Residency Visa of Ecuador or know someone who does not have a valid Residency Visa of Ecuador, regardless of the nationality, and would like to get your migratory situation legalized, as long as you have stamped your entry into the country you might join the regularization process. The first phase of this regularization process has started just yesterday, September 1. There will be two phases for this process of migratory regularization, which are as follows:
PM emergency button, by Punto Medico S.A., prehospital emergency care service at home. We provide professional first response care services.
We have a high-tech device that, when pressed for about 5 seconds, activates an emergency call to the professional paramedic who, in turn, responds and guides you step by step until you reach your home and provide care necessary. We also have custody of keys exclusively for home emergencies and to facilitate access and provide the necessary help. In addition, programming and reminder of medications and medical appointments, 24/7 assistance, periodic control of the user’s status, GPS location for people with memory problems or in case of need of primary help outside their home. Consultations with a general practitioner.
All children deserve a future but not all families can afford it. A $25 donation can change that for a child.
Through midnight today, 100% of the donations made to our JEP account will be used to buy school supplies for the 150+ school-age children we serve.
You can help them to build better futures.
Hello, I am planning a trip Ecuador from mid-January to mid-February. I have many questions and hope this group will offer some answers. I plan to fly into Guayaquil and rent a car. I hope to travel to the coast to Montanita and spend a week before traveling up the coast.
Below are some of my questions. I have never been. What can I expect?
Thank you in advance,
If you have completed or are about to complete 21 months with the temporary visa, you are now eligible to apply for the permanent residence visa, one of the most important requirements is:
Not having left Ecuador for more than 90 days during the 21-month period of your Temporary Visa, these 90 days may have been used continuously or discontinuously.
If your visa has expired and you are irregular, pay attention to the following recommendation:
Do not pay any penalty at Immigration, because if you do, they will give you 30 days to leave the country. Currently, the payment of the penalty does not guarantee that you can apply for a visa, you must leave the country.
The following arrived Tuesday, August 9th. There might be someone not on the US Consulate’s mailing list who can use the following info, so here it is, from the email:

Hi folks, I’m updating a guidebook on Ecuador and have a couple of things to check for Quito, which perhaps some of you who live there might know…
1. How much is the cost of a taxi ride (yellow cab), more or less, from one end of the city to the other?
2. Do they use the electronic cards on buses there now (i.e. no cash), like in Cuenca?
Thank you so much for any info on these two points….

Hi all.
As many of you know, the devotion the La Virgen de el Cisne, is very deep into the Loja culture and in Ecuador, every year, until the pandemic times, the Virgin pilgrimage starts at El Cisne town on August 17th, and end with the big procession from Catamayo to Loja on August 20th.

Today, jokes have almost entirely disappeared from public contexts, and have become a discreet affair, reserved for trusted friends. This is a huge loss to society as a whole.
The dispute about the propriety of certain jokes is regularly rehashed. One side says that humor insidiously molds our attitudes and that we must vigilantly censor jokes that might offend in order to reduce prejudice and protect the powerless.
The other side wonders what has happened to our collective sense of humor. Possibly the shift to giving everyone participation trophies has made people too fragile to hear ideas that they may not agree with.
A number of people have taken exception with my attempts at humor. Those people espouse personal attacks and state with certainty their own moral and ethical superiority. But their rantings all suffer from one fatal flaw. Those persons have confused the target of the joke with the subject of the joke.
The World Health Organization has monthly reports for all to read. I am providing links for easy access plus an abbreviated digest to inspire readers. Please be safe out there!

Monkey Pox https://www.paho.org/en/monkeypox
The International Health Organization met and is monitoring the situation and has not yet announced an alert. Our status is a concern. There have been 18 cases in Ecuador and it is spread as most viruses are spread by secretions, direct and indirect contact, and body fluids. It is not airborne.
Hi,

Hi all,
Again, I received some emails, asking me for the tourist visa extension process, so, the information, up to date, is as follows.
Ulises
____________________
When you arrive in Ecuador, for the first time, you receive a 90-day tourist visa (not 3 months) … then, after those 90 days expire, you have 10 days, (weekend and holiday included) to extend your tourist visa for 90 days more.
In the course of history, this is just another wrong, more or less egregious than others. But it is the wrong of our time, the wrong we are called upon to make right.
In the course of history, powerful people and institutions have imposed their will on the governed. But this imposition is ours to make right.
We have enough commitments for us to play Sunday, June 26th from 11 AM to 1 PM. You are welcome to come to watch or join in.

From BBC Reel…
In Mexico, a group of athletes are on a mission to revive an ancient sporting tradition – a tribute to the game once enjoyed by their ancestors.
Thought to be approximately 3,000 years old, the Mesoamerican ballgame ‘Juego de Pelota’ could be one of the oldest team sports in the world. It was once played by the Aztecs, Maya and Incas and carries ancient cultural and religious significance.
It was only when Spanish conquistadors banned the game in the 16th Century did the game fade into legend.

Besides the people and the security that Cuenca provides, these are the reasons why I love living in Cuenca:
– Here, unlike the big cities, traffic is not a big problem, easy to move around the city, making you reach your destination in a maximum of 30 minutes
– It was a very important city in colonial periods, that is why its architecture has a great influence of European cities
Looking for all things visas? Visa Angels Ecuador specializes in visas. Visa Angels Ecuador has been getting visas for expats since 2014. We work with extended tourist visas, temporary residential visas, permanent residential visas, and transferring visas to a new passport.

“fenugreek” (methi in Hindi , kasoori methi for leaf)
Its seeds, which smell and taste like maple syrup, have been used in cooking and as medicine. Fenugreek is used as an ingredient in spice blends and a flavoring agent in foods, beverages
In North Africa, Asia, and southern Europe, fenugreek was traditionally used for diabetes and to increase milk supply in women who were breastfeeding.
Today, fenugreek is promoted as a dietary supplement for diabetes, menstrual cramps, and other conditions and to stimulate milk production during breastfeeding.

Have you heard about the Asset Annex filing requirement for Ecuador?
It is mandatory for any of you who had assets in Ecuador and abroad from Jan 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, including property inside and outside of Ecuador, all investments and bank accounts inside and outside of Ecuador of $200,000 or more; $400,000 for married couples. No need to pay taxes but you must file to avoid fines. This is due in May as part of an agreement to share information between the US and Ecuador that was signed in 2021, but has just been extended to December, 2022 .

Attention Expats, I was at Azogues yesterday and I gathered this information. I hope it is useful. My immigration attorney asked for it since Azogues changes the requirements often.
I posted a new change about getting a cedula in another posting. The office has changed requirements for my cedula three times since December, 2021. Yesterday I was successful.
When we need to replace an expired or lost passport, we must transfer the previous attached visa.
Before the visa we received was applied like a sticker inside the passport.
Now they are issued as a paper visa that we carry with the passports.
I am writing as an expat who has a permanent visa. It was a process not listed on the website.
Now when you go the Azogues-province Azuay- to get that new visa, you can pay the same day as they accept the documents and return in the afternoon for the visa and the new order de cedulacion; one day service.
I was caught unprepared and had to return another day to get my cedula paperwork. This is not preferred, so do it as a same day service. The guard told me they changed this over a year ago but not listed in the website.
We had some good games last Sunday (See Photo). Let’s do it again this coming Sunday!

Cherie Rose just fought the battle of her life in trench warfare, immersed in her campaign against severe osteoporosis.
She had a wonderful life here in Cuenca! Over time, she grew to love and respect Ecuadorian people, as they represented “tranquilo,” a concept, idea that Cherie cherished. She had become enamored of her dear Cuencana friend, assistant, Susana who taught her many cultural tricks of the trade here. In addition, Cherie appreciated the multiple opportunities she had to mingle with so many adventurous expats, which consistently stimulated her own highly free-swinging spirit.
The federal law called the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (known as UOCAVA) governs the way all States must provide for military members and US citizens living abroad to participate in the voting process. These rules usually differ in some ways from those that apply to voters within the US. If you are looking at your state’s election website, be sure to go to the section specifically for military and overseas citizens.
(more…)The focus of the Cuenca Soup Kitchen is providing a hand up to those in need, primarily through food distribution.
We are also concerned about the environment. When CSK solidified its commitment to the environment, we knew that it would be an ongoing process which started when CSK volunteers Gary Curry and Paul Kaperick generously purchased reusable kit bags.

If you are an expat with an irregular migratory status in Ecuador (i.e. if your Tourist visa or your residency visa expired prior to the 10th of March, 2022) and you have the requirements to apply for a residency visa (either temporary or permanent), you may apply for it after paying a fine until the 8th of April, 2022.
Note: This applies to you only if you meet the requirements for a residency visa at this moment and you would actually like to apply for a residency visa in Ecuador without needing to leave the country and then needing to apply for the visa at an Ecuadorian Consulate overseas.
I got this today, probably has been or will be submitted by others, but could be important to some.

August 17, 1951 – March 15, 2022
My beloved husband and our robustly-talented “Cuenca Blues Man”, Jerry Joe Holland, died on March 15, 2022. Jerry was diagnosed last Christmas week with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had spread to his liver. He was given only 2 months to live. He immediately started receiving palliative care to keep him as comfortable as possible.
Jerry loved performing music more than anything else. He also had a deep and abiding respect and connection with animals and all living things, for that matter. In the past 4.5 years, Jerry grew to love and appreciate the people and places of Cuenca and Ecuador. He was very happy here and did not ever regret leaving the United States. Jerry was a soft-spoken, gentle soul, who was so easy to approach as his friendliness radiated from his heart.
Jerry Joe is survived by his loving wife, Jo Austin, of Cuenca, and his sister, Paula Holland, of California. He is also survived by his beloved rescue doggies, Ande and Marvin, from Cuenca, along with his precious kitty, Giselle, from Seattle. Jerry’s additional survivors include many beloved friends from Seattle and California.
If you’re so inclined to make a donation in honor of Jerry Joe’s memory, please consider Cuenca’s animal welfare organizations.
