Today was another day at CEDI, checking internet, doing banking, trying to send a few emails and do blogs, post pictures and so on. Seems like that is the only time we can get on the internet is at the CEDI or the mall, though it is much easier and faster at CEDI. We also got a package in the mail, well technically it was a letter to say that we have something but looks like we are going to have to pay taxes on our mail. So please don’t send us anything until we know for sure as it looks like it will be a lot to pay for the taxes. Unfortunately we have sent some things for our house through the mail and if we have to pay taxes, we are now a little worried about how much we will be paying for our stuff to come through the mail. Hopefully, it won’t be as much as we imagine it to be. We will find out soon though. It’s a good thing that Bolo is around to help us sort all these types of things out, it definitely wasn’t that easy in Brazil since we really didn’t know anyone to help in that way.
Speaking of Bolo, he went with us to find out if we could get a bank account here in Cuenca. In Brazil we never actually were able to open an account during the whole five years that we lived there so it was a surprise when the process here is not that hard. One thing we need is like a registration card or a type of police id to say that we are living in Cuenca, the other is money to put into the account, an address and a reference which will be Bolo. Unfortunately we won’t be able to get the account yet as we have to go back to Quito to get registered in Ecuador and then get the police ID card then off to the bank and we will have an account in Ecuador. So in a lot of ways that will help us with many types of things that we may need to do here, but just having a bank account will be great.
