Mucha gente sabe españoles comen más tarde, a las diez o once, restaurantes están lleno, especial el fin de semana. Yo aprendí otras cosas interesantes, por ejemplo: Comestibles están más caro que Estados Unidos pero restaurante, especial alcohol está más barato, por qué? Muchas casas no tienen acondicionador de aire, con ventana abierta y sin …

Cambio
Demasiado calor y sin acondicionador de aire, también estuve enferma…pregunté a mi si está buena idea para venir? Afortunadamente, yo recupere y ajuste en unos días. Gracias para la oportunidad de visitar los pueblos y aprender la cultura de Cataluña (lo mejor de locales, gracias a mi amiga y su familia.)
Tranquilo
Visitamos a Andorra sin pasaporte y preguntas. Tranquilo porque la gente siente seguro y tiene confianza para visitantes. Que privilegio a tener los. Yo tuvo una mismo experiencia hace muchos años en frontera de Finlandia y Suecia. Creo que la calidad de sociedad como estos: confianza y respecto a todo.
Best Wish, Shef
More than 4 years ago, I had talked with friends about “home food network” to provide opportunities for people who stay home (& love cooking) and in-transition from another culture as well as celebrating diverse culture. I heard questions from people about food safety, logistics… Today I came across Shef – explore home cooked meals …
Dream Coming True
Living in Spain and being fluent in Spanish have long been a dream. Now Spain opens-up its border and I don’t need visa up to 90 days. We still work remotely and most of my teams are in Europe and Asia so time-zone would work. I asked “mama” in Costa Rica to give me the …
Happy 10 Years Birthday, Duolingo!
I read Duolingo’s co-founder’s post on Linkedin for its 10 years anniversary. I found out that I’ve been using it to learn Spanish since 2004 (8y+); I have daily goal to pass 3 lessons a day. I love it and have recommended the “green little bird” to many friends. Tks and congratulation to Duolingo team …
Serendipity
House is again not able to be closed. More drag yet I appreciate the serendipity: it gives me additional time to discuss with other unit’s tenants. It also enables me to take a trip back to CT sooner, to visit some old friends after 3-4 years. Stay positive and appreciative no matter what! Everything will …
Happy Mother’s Day
Last year I spent Mother’s Day with my Costa Rica family. We had a picnic at a son’s front yard, I helped plant 3 mango trees there; then “mama” and I headed to family’s 2nd home, a place I love in the mountain area. We enjoyed yucca, chorizo, tortilla on the stone bar with “papa” …
I Can Do it
House drama after drama: tenant negotiations, permit application, closing extension, etc. It’s frustrating to see that people know what to do and reminded by others yet don’t do it till last minute. It amazed me, telling the truth and being collaborative (for some people) could be so difficult. It’s also sad to see highly educated, …
For Joe
I joined Sales & Marketing Toastmaster in Oct ’19. Immediately, I was impressed with Joe’s wit in the table topics and how he presented…full of energy yet relaxed, everything flew naturally and it felt so “easy”. Moreover, he got everybody laugh. Regardless of the topics, Joe was able to tell a story and put the …
