| Many people love the idea of the slower pace of life, siestas and the manana syndrome. If you find these factors charming, remember so when you are waiting for a plumber or an electrician or a delivery from a department store with your beds, fridge, living room furniture or whatever, and they don’t show up at the hour, or even the day, they said they would. This also goes for Telmex, the phone company. Things just don’t happen rapidly. It’s not as bad as all of the horror stories you hear but you will find life here at times very frustrating when you are in hurry and their not. You will learn to slow down here and that’s not a bad thing is it? Mexico is different from the US and Canada, obviously. If you make the decision to come here, you have to keep this in mind.Trip Travel Insurance You have to adapt to the Mexican people and way of life, not them to you. An advantage of Riviera Maya and the coastal area is the fact that English is widely spoken, there is an international airport, crime is not an issue, and many US consumer products are available. Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Office Depot and all the American fast food restaurants almost make Playa del Carmen corridor seem like a little USA. I wouldn’t ever thimk about eating at a McDonalds when you have all of the great taco stands and street food available here and it’s fresh. You will find prices are not as cheap as they used to be. Do not move to Mexico if you hope to live on $400 US a month or if you expect services to always be up to US standards.Trip Travel Insurance you can no longer live here super cheaply or expect to change the Mexican culture. Do move to Mexico if you want to live cheaper than in the US and if you want to make new friends and experience new challenges. You can expect to save around 40% from your old life up north. We have seen that many people are happy living here full-time, year round. We’ve seen others who live here October to April and then head north for the hotter months of spring and summer.Trip Travel Insurance if you are in the process of making this decision, go to the library and get all the info you can. Playa del Carmen and the beach ex-pat communities are made up of a large group of retired Americans and Canadians, as well as business people and students, get in touch with them. Check things out on the Internet, and then come on an exploratory trip. |
