Mexico And Minimum Wage
We fear that if everyone who goes to Mexico is in the position to have multiple homes in various countries, not batting an eye at paying N. American prices for everything and anything, soon they will be the only ones that can afford Mexico. read more

Where can I get a list of RV parks in Mexico? I will leave Texas soon for Saltillo. Later, further south, not interested in coastal, primarily mountains.
read moreBuy a computer in Mexico or the U.S?
I will be relocating to Mexico (Queretaro) soon and it is time to replace my computer. I had planned to purchase a notebook here in the US and bring it with me. Now I am having second thoughts. First, I fear that it would be difficult to get parts and service for a US model in Mexico. Toshiba, for example, claims that its US and Mexican models are different and that the Mexican retailers are not authorized to service the US models. Add to that the hassle of bringing the computer through customs on an FMT visa (alas, I'm not eligible for a FM3) and I think it would be better to simply purchase a computer in Mexico. I'm aware that comparable computers cost 20-30% more in Mexico, but perhaps it's worth the extra pesos to have better support and fewer hassles. Any thoughts?

We have seen long discussions on the subject of working in Mexico. I
am curious about how it is to own rental property for income in Mexico.
I'm thinking mainly in
terms of a condo or two which would probably be in an area like Ajijic or
in one of the coastal resort areas and would probably be rented out to vacationing
Americans and Canadians.

Lancandon Journal - 1969
In 1969, this culture was already in decline, undermined by the relentless forces of what some still call progress.
Jungle adventures are always challenging. This trip was a very difficult one for Gary, his young companion, and although difficult as well for Krustev, the artist was generally of a calm and philosophically disposed spirit... read more
Playing for Pancho Villa
And so… perhaps lacking judgment because of the mercury poisoning, Frank opted for danger as well as adventure. On Tosca, his beloved mare, he rode south, and fifty miles west of El Paso he crossed the border into Mexico.
Frank, "with a fool's luck, managed to pick his way… between horse thieves from both sides, the Texas rangers who pursued them, Pancho Villa's Dorados, General Pershing's 6,000 gringo troops who were chasing Villa after the raid at Columbus, New Mexico,... read more
