Living In Mexico
Moving from one country to another is not something that everyone does and those that do can have some great experiences along with the not so great. Mexico501 is a blog about a family that did just that, they decided to move from the US to Mexico and live there for a few years. Rather than just do it, like most people would, they went ahead and wrote about some of their experiences about living in Mexico in a blog.
Now, this might seem like a pretty radical move, and almost everyone around the world hears about people tring to go North across the border, you don’t often hear about people going in the other direction. I guess it also take a bit of courage to pick up and move from one country to another and live and after reading a bit on this site I found it pretty fascinating.
The blog looks like it was getting very regular updates for a few months and now - nothing. I really hope that this is due to the owners taking a vacation! I can say that I couldn’t find a single post that was not interesting in some way - the cultural differences and how someone is handling it is what is so interersting about it all. Some of the posts about visiting the hospital are a little on the personal side and for a site that is all about living in another country I think concentrate a bit too much on this - The general information about communicating when the Doctors only speak a little English and the Patient only speaks a few words of Spanish are the interesting parts of these posts.
What is really great about the blog is that there is also a gallery of some photos that add to the overall story. The pictures show different parts of Living in Mexico. The pictures by themselves, unfortunately, only tell part of the story. Only a few of them are captioned and the un-captioned ones would really benefit from a few words. If all the pictures were captioned then me, the reader would have probably spent a bit more time browsing the gallery and reading about the pictures.
The site, even though it would currently benefit from a few minor updates provides a fascinating glimpse of someone moving from the US to Mexico.
