I have talked to several people just in this past week who are seriously thinking of moving to Mexico.<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.uswaiverpardoncanada.com/uswaivers/entrywaiver.html" rel="nofollow">US Waiver Form Canada</a></b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728491388421082815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-67817928452364488082009-09-27T20:37:40.769-07:002009-09-27T20:37:40.769-07:00This post cheered me up.

(and the comments) i've been feeling a little deppressed and so can't wait for my trip back to the states. but all these things are true. <br />About the dishes. This is true everywhere. Even in the states (among the hispanic community) <br />Since this is a big huge city some of the things aren't as fun as they were when we were in Michoacan (and i think the food here kinda sucks) but there are still things i love about it here. <br />I just really need to learn the bus system here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-75501674831582480402009-09-24T14:07:37.280-07:002009-09-24T14:07:37.280-07:00I used to find myself saying "why do you guys...I used to find myself saying "why do you guys do things this way? it's stupid" - okay.... maybe not politically correct, and I was asking for an argument, but I have learnt to let some things go. <br /><br />I'm not in Canada. The streets will never be as clean and garbage free. The grafitti will only get worse. There will always be stray animals on the streets. Etc...<br /><br />I still need to get past some of these things. Now, I even try and see if there's anything I can do to help improve things...While I learn ways in which to improve me!<br /><br />I agreed to move back to Mexico with my husband, as I truly believe I will be able to spend more time with our family now that we are going to be starting one... I came from a home of workaholics and was raised by nannnies. I don't want that for my kids, and if I stayed in Canada would have happened! Dont' want to complain as that was my life and i loved it. <br /><br />I looooove the music. You can hear it everywhere. <br /><br />I also love the food. Miss stuff still, but yes it's FRESH as FRESH can be! I swear my suegra knows 600recipes by heart! <br /><br />Good post, and I'll have to do it one of these days too!ElleCancunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225343993129134601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-50531232007068185612009-09-24T05:34:38.223-07:002009-09-24T05:34:38.223-07:00mama- I wax and wean from if my glass is full or e...mama- I wax and wean from if my glass is full or empty. I do know that it helps to make yourself see it as full. So here are my efforts.<br />Dreamer- Iv never seen anything about the classes for parents. That sounds great and helps my view of Mexico and children. I feel they don't teach enough safety but maybe I just haven't seen it. I agree that morals are important but everyone kinda of had there own set of those. I feel a lot of parents don't know about how to be safe with there children. And your right about the freedom, its funny because I was talking to a mom at the park and she didnt even question why we were living here, she said, Yes the kids are a lot more free here than in the States. I just smiled and nodded.:0<br />Bob- you are right about that, sometimes I want to get grumpy and think that God could have given me patience some other way but honestly its something Iv worked on my whole christian life. And believe me Im not there yet maybe another couple years of Mexico and and can claim it who knows. But I deff am more humble and understanding about a lot of things. <br />Oh I thought of a few more:<br />Blinking green traffic lights and You don't really have to stop at a stop signbordersasidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142674938117338592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-67854849869586729062009-09-23T16:36:45.769-07:002009-09-23T16:36:45.769-07:00Amanda,

I think that it has widened my horizons and made me a better person and I will be eternally grateful for that :)Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-28344528613234196292009-09-23T16:13:32.354-07:002009-09-23T16:13:32.354-07:00I'm glad you decided to post something positiv...I'm glad you decided to post something positive about mexico. I think we ALL need it.<br /><br />Some of my favorite things are<br /><br />the availability of <i>freshness</i>... <br />I love that the fruit in the fruiterias come in daily, the fruit cups on the corner, the carnicerias, etc... I love that not everything here is fried or bathed in grease. (like most would think.)<br /><br />the sense of <i>real</i> freedom.<br /><i> sound silly, right?</i><br />However, unlike the U.S, opportunities are abundant... of course with a price tag.. but not like in the US. In addition, you can seriously get away with whatever you can imagine... just if you get caught, be prepared to shell out some dinero.<br /><br />I love/hate the <i> cheapness</i> of services. Of course, after having three computers crash, it took 400 pesos to get them all up and running with NEW software...genius! But at the same time, where "la raza" wants a discount cuz we're in Mexico. sheesh!<br /><br />I love the Clases para Padres. I've seen them everywhere and they have them at my kids' school. Classes where they try to teach the parents about the morals and values that we are actually teaching our children... and they reinterate the same ideas in our kids' classes.<br /><br />My favorite of all...<br /><br />back in the States after both of us working all day, neither of us were able to pick the kids up from school. they took the bus...etc We lived a very rushed life. I love the "flow" of things. Everyday, I get to walk down the street, past the gorgeous cathedral and pick up my kids from school. A few times a week, we'll stop and get a fruit cup or some yummy ice cream and talk about our day. I love being a mom. <3Refried Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387521513641562755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553388201961125907.post-18894067826101762542009-09-23T16:04:14.548-07:002009-09-23T16:04:14.548-07:00I love it!

I also love to people watch, the tiendas open till late and the hugging and kissing to meet and greet.Mama of 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/15405792057986609395noreply@blogger.com
