What do I need to know before moving to Merida?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Merida, they said:
"Bring as little as you need to, because moving is expensive. And you can get most things here. All the appliances work the same, etc. I would suggest renting for a few months while you look for a home, even though its a hassle to move.
