Cigarette Stores in Cuenca by Moriantrajan
Does, anyone know of a cigarette store in Cuenca, Ecuador? ? I'm looking to purchase some cigarettes, possibly a carton. Any, responses would be so great. Thanks, Claire
Hi there. You can get cigarettes from a store on Calle Larga (at Benigno Malo). It's located a couple of doors down from the Taj Mahal restaurant. I don't know about cartons, but they have several types there. Hope this helps! Read More

HI Terry, Hi Kenjee, Thank you both for your responses. I don't generally take someone's word. I do my best to do my due diligence, then make a decision. As far as visiting, I probably won't be able to do that. (Incidentally, that is ... Read More

Moving by Radcliffe21
Hello my name is rhonda and I've never been to your country but have been talking to half of a couple that have been there many times and plan to retire there. Being who I am, I'm just going to take that leap of faith and move there - ...
Hi Rhonda, I moved sight unseen, too, and it has worked out fine. But you should plan on renting an extended stay place, or hostel when you hit the ground so that you can take a little time to find a place to stay--one that suits you. It's hard ... Read More
Netflix and Roku by msantiago1256
