The reality of relocation…..this reluctant ex-pat has painted an incredibly detailed picture of moving to Mexico, adapting to a new culture and finally becoming comfortable with living abroad. “I think if you want to move to Mexico you are just a little crazy!” The author guides you through the stages of re-settling, including how to speak Spanish, and if you like Mexican food, there is even a recipe for making authentic ‘tamales’ but you have to buy the book to learn this secret!
This is a refreshingly realistic eBook! No extolling the virtues of Mexico as the ultimate paradise, but a thorough, well constructed and intimate view of life there. A reluctant ex-pat, the author gives a searingly honest account of Mexico; “Moving to Mexico is hard…..somehow most eBooks don’t relate the chronic culture shock, loneliness and sometimes downright annoyance one feels when living in a culture different to one’s own”.

If you are considering Mexico as an alternative place to live, you do have to read this book….. “once you figure it out, living here can be wonderful.”

From taxis to toilets, sunshine to shopping, Julia Taylor gives you the lowdown; an in depth look at the healthcare system and your choices, including a step by step ‘how to book a doctor’s appointment’ guide! Navigate your way around the shops, or the local market to find alternative products to those you have at home. Avoid the stresses of finding that everything is shut, by studying the long list of public holidays and festivities!

With information on renting property, buying and importing a car, useful tips on security as well as lots of amusing anecdotes to help steer you through the muddy waters of the Mexican culture, this eBook is unsurpassed in its candid approach.

Some of the section on visas and officialdom may not apply directly to non-North Americans but everything else in this wonderful report, is pertinent. You need to treat it as your companion, whether you are vacationing or re-locating. As the author says, in the end “Mexico came shining through” and with this eBook by your side, the same will be so for you!
