Welcome on board Will!

Love is a very good reason to move

What do you like the most in Mexico? (I heard about a job opportunity there it would be fantastic!)

Cheers,

Julien

What do I like?

Obviously it goes without saying - but I'll say it anyway - I love Maria!

As to what I like, there are too many things to list but for people thinking of visiting/moving to Mexico, the first, and most important, thing is the people. Mexicans are wonderful people. They are very upbeat, happy people. I don't know if all English people are "jaded" but there is just a sense of optimism that pervades their lives. They are also very welcoming and friendly. I have written about this several times on my blog (dunno if this is allowed? pimping my blog?) which led to this . They are also an intensely proud and patriotic people who love their country.

And then there is the food, especially tacos. Don't fall in to the trap that Taco Bell tacos are anything like the tacos you get in Mexico. There is nothing better tasting than tacos served from a street vendor, late at night.

Working here, though, is a whole different ball game. Although it is a highly industrialised country and at the fore-front of technology (over 70% of the world's televisions are made here) the labour laws and work ethic are still entrenched in the 1960s. Work is from 7 to 7, with two hours off during the day, in the maquilas - although it is often different for foreigners.

And that, I suppose, is the punchline. Mexico is a wonderful place for foreigners. It is a huge country - really, really big. Seriously, all of Europe would fit in it. And that means that it has a great variation of culture all the way through. To explore Mexico would take a lifetime.

I just love the place!

And now I'll stop - I'm just rambling on.

Welcome around here ! :-)

Thank you.

Have sent some time wandering around, reading, and withholding comments. Sometimes it is a bit like arriving to a party and everyone has already had their say. It gets a bit scary when you comment on a thread to find that everyone else had finished with it several months ago. So, I've just read :^)

However, it's nice here innit? So, I'll hang around and jump on board when something new comes up - and, no! I won't be starting anything just yet. I'm a newbie. I'l just sit in the corner and follow other people's leads.

But, thank you for having me.

Obviously it goes without saying - but I'll say it anyway - I love Maria!

Great response (the best one for sure)
