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” …
Blessing
It would be lovely to close the purchase; a home would be a big present for myself yet confirming extension and lock-in rate offered assurance. I ran to Starbucks to claim my free b-day coffee yet it closed earlier, well, good day (much warmer than the past 2 days) to run and get fresh air. …
Learn to be Smarter
Is intelligence born with or can it be learned? Cognitive test comes in variety yet questions usually fall into 3 categories: numerical, verbal, and spatial. I took a free course online, learned to identify pattern and calculate math faster. After 3 hour study, my score has improved significantly. Practice makes it better and we all …
Beijing Olympics
Beijing is the 1st city in the world to host summer and Winter Olympics. Opening ceremony countdown started from 24 instead of 10 and I learned that it’s not only 24th Winter Olympics but also there are 24 solar terms in Chinese calendar. Quite a difference for the opening ceremony, 2008 showed in volume, performances …
