Mexico: ? Reinventing oneself in Merida!:

Hello! I am new to the Expat Exchange and have read some wonderful contributions by others. Maybe you can help me... I have lived for 2 1/2 years in the Philippines recently, and now my wanderlust is directing me towards Merida. I have heard wonderful things about the area, the people, the activities and the food. I would love to come and hopefully call Merida home as I explore the Yucatan. If I am willing to live frugally, can I do so on $700 per month including rent. Of course I would need a good internet connection. I have no plans on buying a car. Renting a room is fine. I'm open to many possibilities. My motivation to come will allow me to adapt quite nicely I believe. Oh... my Spanish is rudimentary, but I'm focusing on learning!

Colombia: Which Spanish school in Cartagena would you recommend?:

Hello, I just found this site and registered. I've read some of the posts and have 2 questions, if anyone could help me out... I am flying down from Los Angeles, CA in about a month to explore Cartagena to find a place to rent (cheaply) and will need to enroll in a Spanish language school there. I understand there are 3 in Cartagena... - Babel Spanish School - Centro Catalina Spanish School - Nueva Lengua Espanol y Turismo Any recommendations as to which one might be a good choice? Also, I need to find a 2-bedroom apartment to rent for myself and my fiancee who will be flying in from the Philippines. Once I find a 2 bedroom, then I will fly back to LA, gather up a few things and come back to my new place in Cartagena. Looking forward to meeting new expats, lots of Columbians and making new friends! By the way, I came back a year ago from living in the Philippines for 2 1/2 years so I know how to adapt and fit in nicely. Thanks in advance for any help or recommendations you can offer!
