After visiting Oaxaca in '07, I was unable to stop thinking about it, and am now planning to move there in March or April. I have business in NYC that will bring me back in '11, but I want to stay for at least a year.
I am a bellydance teacher and massage therapist and hope to find work at a yoga school on the coast (specifically, one of several in Zipolite.) I'd like to stay there for a couple of months and then move to Oaxaca City and try to find work teaching dance there.
So here are my questions:
1. Where are the best Spanish classes on the beach and in the city?
2. What should I expect to pay for a one-bedroom apartment in the city? Should I try to find one before I go or wait until I get there?
3. How difficult will it be for me to get my cat into the country and find an apartment that will allow him?
4. Where can I study Ballet Folklorico?
5. I take psychiatric medication. Will it be difficult to find an English-speaking psychiatrist to prescribe? If my meds are not available in Mexico, can a Mexican doctor still prescribe them? Can they be ordered from the US online?
If anyone can help me with these questions I would be very grateful! I would also just love to talk to other Americans in Oaxaca. Thank you so much!
