Guatemala: moving to Guatemala:
soujourner, don't pay attention to these territorial ego-bashers. a lot of the participants on this thread are really acting like lowlife cruds. why not consider xelia or antigua? plus, when it's your time and turn to be a crime victim, it can happen at anytime and anywhere.
Mexico: dating in Merida:
thanks, shelley. geez louise, indeed, there are some really nasty cruds that troll this site. go out and do volunteering all day at some local orphanage, for the love of Christ, and make yourselves useful!
Mexico: I asked a simple question.:
intense post. food for thought, indeed! thanks.
Mexico: Mass Deportations Have Begun:
and what does the mexican government permit to be done to undocumented central and south american and others from throughout the world. ever heard of the train called LA BESTIA?? the migration officers rob them, deport them, murder them, attack and rape them. sounds just as bad if not worse than the united states, i'm afraid.
Mexico: Effects of policies of new administration on lives of expats living in Mexico?:
nobody seems to be focusing very much on the bum of a president that is in office in mexico. he's even less popular than trump. how about the crud politicians that run mexico? not that i'm a fan of trump in the slightest, but obama was doing a job on mexico and mexicans as well. it's just that the media concealed it.
Mexico: Have you experienced an increase in the hostility towards Americans?:
cheepers, this thread exposes its participants to the threat of real ego bashing galore. what people will write to one another under the heads of anonymous tongue-lashings. perhaps someone might devote one segment to 'general' complaints, whatever they may be, where participants can be a boorish and guttural as they please, so that the rest of the innocents can be spared exposure to such outlandish treachery.
Guatemala: visiting puerto barrios:
hello, everyone. what are the options and costs of traveling from guatemala city to puerto barrios in march. thank so much for your time and consideration.
Mexico: Artsy beach town:
Good choices. Puerto Angel is another option, as well. 4-get haircutting. no barber will let you in for all the tea in china, unless you are a personal friend of his. plus, you'll make around $2USD per day. Try to get some certificate here so you can teach ESL. Contact some of the school in Puerto Escondido and see what they require but don't believe a word of what they say. promising is far, far easier than delivering in mexico. plus, you're going to have to get a work visa for these schools and that runs around $3000 USD with some immigration lawyer down there. then, you've got to pay for health insurance that will allow you to enter the hospital immediately without coming up with big cash in the event of a catastrophic emergency. because of their history of being exploited by north americans, Mexicans are a reserved people who aren't as open to foreigners as are other nationalities. i'd think long and hard about this, unless you've got a lot of money stashed somewhere safe. look at the lake in Guatemala, xelia, or Antigua, where the folks are far more innocent.
Mexico: expat/good climate cities:
1) Tepotzlan
2) Cuernavaca
3) Ixtapa de la Sal
4)Queretero
5)Cuatla
6)Puebla
7)Guadalajara
8)Taxco
Mexico: Buying, Renting a Home.:
If you don't want any complications whatsoever, renting is the way to go. as a matter of fact, i've listened to financial experts who i respect and whose words i adhere strictly by who say that if you can't pay for a home or condo in cash, keep renting. if you must buy, try a condo where you can investigate beforehand as to how well it is managed and what the common charges are, or you'll be sorry. repairing roofs, windows, boilers, etc. is enough of a nightmare in the United States. Just picture it south of the border. Also, there is the issue of being overcharged because you are a foreigner. Our society has presented renters as being marginal types, but such isn't the case at all!
