Ecuador: Soap Making:

I make soap and need to find LYE (Sodium hydroxide or caustic soda) also coconut oil and other types of oils. Fragrance oils and essential oils as well. Does anyone know where I might find any of these items? THANKS!

Ecuador: Medical System Crisis in Ecuador:

Taking IESS out of the comments - what hospital/clinic would YOU rate the best in Cuenca. This discussion was to be about Medical System Crisis in Ecuador. I have heard that Santa Ana and Santa Ines (sp?) are the best. That Del Rio is in trouble? Info that relates to the heading would be most interesting and helpful. YES - A LOT has changed EVERYWHERE in the last 25 years! We lived in Brazil from 1978-80 and have been in EC now for almost a year. There is NO comparison at all from Before internet, cell phones etc.... Just sayin' - Pam

Ecuador: How many languages do you Speak?:

We lived in Brazil so I USE TO speak Portuguese - still have some. We have family in Holland so I speak a little Dutch. A tiny bit of German and French. BUT I can say "Thank you" in 13 Languages LOL

Ecuador: Discount travel question:

Had to ask LOL = and we would be paying - so it was worth a try - right?

Ecuador Welcome Forum: Cuenca carpeting?:

We just rented a home that has some nasty orange carpet in 4 of the bedrooms! We either need to try cleaning them OR replacing them?? Does anyone have a clue where we can find NEW wall-to-wall carpet? We need to price it and decide if we can afford to replace it ( or some of it) or just clean it and live with it? Thanks for any and all info! Pam

Ecuador: Taste of Cuenca?:

What is this? I have read that the bagels will be there but can Not find any other info?? Where is and what is it.... Or a site that gives me this info. Thanks for ANY details!! Pam

Ecuador: Expats, do we need better manners?:

Ok I have to jump in here..... First... We lived in Brazil for 2 years... So " Latin living is not new to us. 2nd... We researched EC before visiting to make sure Cuenca was the best for us. To stay on subject - I have found EVERYONE friendly!!! That is with a Capitol E! I probably bug withoutego beyond belief ... I tend to talk to Everyone... I have interrupted his drawing/writing a few to many times LOL EVERY PERSON I HAVE GREETED has been helpful, friendly etc.. We love Cuenca and plan on becoming citizens ( duel ). Complain all you want but ask yourselves WHY aren't other gringos friendly??? Hugs to you all - Pam
