    We moved back to the states last June for our son to finish high school & next year go to college. We miss Mexico so much. The US seems boring, bland and not really like home any longer. On the 5 yr plan to leave for good. ❤🇲🇽

    1. I had to travel to Washington State when my daughter was ill. There were more homeless in one kilometer of Los Angeles than I saw living in Mexico City for 15 years.
    2. In the last five years, there have been 2 school shootings in Mexico that caused 8 deaths and 5 wounded. In those same five years, in the US 707 school shootings caused 368 deaths and 610 wounded.

Im sure people can visualize it, u just forgot to make a slight head knod.

      Look carefully when you rent a place - go month by month at first and check it out at different times of day, days of the week, holidays. Check for bars in the area. Make sure your br and office is back off the street, when you find a great place you can do some sound insulation. Tile floors here cover w rugs. Metal doors are common, few double paned windows. We have Home Depot and lots of great albañiles, clever general construction workers. I love having a general house assistant on-call for these issues.

    • @MovingToMexiCo
      @MovingToMexiCo  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I dont know about ever, ever, ever, ever. Here are some reasons you may still need to ask a strange person.
      1. Local Knowledge: Locals may provide shortcuts or alternate routes that Google Maps doesn’t show.
      2. Personal Interaction: Asking for directions can be a way to engage with people and learn more about the area.
      3. Network Issues: Poor internet connection can make it difficult to use Google Maps.
      4. Battery Life: Saving phone battery by not using GPS can be crucial, especially if the phone is running low.
      5. Complex Environments: In places like large markets or malls, human guidance can be clearer than a digital map.
      6. Safety Concerns: In some areas, it might be safer to ask a local rather than looking at a phone, which could attract unwanted attention.
      7. Cultural Experience: For travelers, asking locals can be part of experiencing and learning about the culture of a place.
      8. Real-Time Updates: Locals can provide updates about current road conditions, construction, or other immediate issues that Google Maps may not have yet updated.

    As someone who lives in Huatulco, but works in Canada still - road laws. While at home a stop sign means slow down unless someone is coming the other way, because if someone is behind you they don't expect you'll stop. Also, when you're a little slower on the highway and want to let someone pass and you move partly on to the shoulder and turn on your left turn signal to tell them it's safe to pass me on the left, not I'm turning left.

      @@ClepsidraSideral - I'm assuming from the way you worded that, you don't want me here. Sorry if you've had issues with foreigners that choose to reside in your country legally.
      I had to research this before becoming a resident, quite simply so I could ensure I was following all the rules, and could answer this very question, so thanks for asking.
      Because my income is derived completely in Canada, I'm still required to be taxed at source in that country. This means I fall under Article 21 of Canada - Mexico Tax Treaty (2006) which states: "(2) In the case of Mexico, double taxation shall be avoided as follows:
      (a) residents of Mexico may credit against the Mexican tax on income arising in Canada the income tax paid in Canada in any amount not exceeding the tax payable in Mexico on such income; and
      (b) subject to the existing provisions of the law of Mexico, companies which are residents of Mexico may also credit against Mexican tax on dividends paid by companies that are residents of Canada the income tax paid in Canada on the profits out of which the dividends are paid."
      Since the tax in Canada is higher than in Mexico, I fall under this exemption.
      I do however pay all taxes required of me as a permanent resident (early actually), and spend the money I earn in my community with local businesses wherever possible.
      I work in a "protected" industry within the borders of Mexico. Therefore I could never earn an income here as I am not Mexican born. However, if I could work here I would pay my taxes happily.
      Thanks for your question.

    is there a low season inland?? ??Morelia?

    • @MovingToMexiCo
      @MovingToMexiCo  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good question. Yes, Morelia, like many tourist destinations, experiences high and low seasons. The high season typically aligns with major holidays and events, such as:
      - **November**: During the Day of the Dead celebrations.
      - **December to early January**: Around Christmas and New Year.
      - **Easter week (Semana Santa)**: Often attracts many visitors.
      The low season generally falls outside these peak times, particularly in the summer months and the periods between major holidays. The weather in Morelia is relatively mild year-round, so the distinction between high and low seasons is more related to cultural and event-driven factors rather than significant weather changes.

    • @RedroomStudios
      @RedroomStudios 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am not fluent by any means but I do pretty well.
      Here’s a tip.
      Before venturing out to the market, have a script in mind.
      So you might say, in Spanish, good morning how are you?
      They say “buenos días im good thanks.”
      Then you say, “can you help me find the pineapples?”
      And when they do you say gracias.
      And that would be your lesson for that day.
      Then you expand on that everyday.
      Does that make sense?
