Mexico is in North America too, right? by workinggringa

Just thought perhaps we should have a topic for those of us in or interested in Mexico. We live in the Yucatan, and write about it on our website www.yucatanliving.com. We also have property on Lake Patzcuaro in Michoacan, a beautiful mountainous ...

You know, a lot of people from D.F. are moving to Merida. It's true... the Yucatecans think they are rude and move too fast. But they all seem to do well here, not the least because I think they really appreciate how quiet and safe it is here. And ... Read More

The american dream ... by Julien

What do you think about the American dream? Is it a dream only or can it become reality? Does America give you the chance you'll never get anywhere else? I am young french guy who feels European and who might move to the US in a couple of ...

I'm an American living in Mexico, and I concur heartily with Special K. Its all about money and work in the United States these days. We jokingly call Mexico "the land of the free" because everyday life feels so much freer down here. The police ... Read More

Hola, Alisa! I just saw your blog last night, actually, and loved it! I'm going to put it in my Mexico-in-English.com blog when I get a chance. As for the reporting vs. influencing thing regarding politics, we've been wondering that also. I think ... Read More

Friends & family back home by sapphos

Sometimes I feel like I must be crazy to move to Buenos Aires :rolleyes:, especially if I were to listen to people that I know. I've been met with the same responses from almost (but not all) everyone I know. I hear things like, "oh that's ...

James and Ellen Fields

When we moved to Mexico, everyone figured it was because WE had done something wrong :-)! Now, half of them think we're crazy...why wouldn't we want to live in the US...it's the most wonderful place in the world?? And the other half are jealous and ... Read More

Mexico by Julien

About the blog directory, I heard that it's wrong to have Mexico in North America.... Should it be in Central America? Thanks in advance for your help!

James and Ellen Fields

Gryphon has got it right, as far as I know. Most websites and directories put Mexico in North America. Mexico considers itself part of América, which includes both continents. And they call US and Canadian citizens "norteamericanos", which is a bit ... Read More
