this book has everything i would think of asking. julia and me have alot of common . She moved to mexico for her husband. N to find a book that someone else went thru the same thing i will makes me feel like theres hope. She answered everything i would have a doubt about. i bought the book for my husband cuz its getting close to the date that will be deported. N he's heard alot of things, ( he's never lived in the country , but he was born there) and he loved the book cuz it gave him an idea of what he would be looking for once he gets there. This book has given me hope that maybe things will be ok. I am very thankful for julia for writting the book. Its a must buy and to read if you are thinking of moving to mexico and if you have any questions of moving to mexico.

I found this book to be an important read for anybody even thinking about moving to Mexico, and the added bonus is that it's fun and entertaining. Keep in mind that it's written for a fairly broad audience, so you'll probably find some parts that aren't directly relevant to your particular circumstances. But it contains valuable guidance for everybody from potential retirees (like me) to people planning to find work there and live on Mexican wages.
There are a lot of sources for information about how to bring your car into Mexico or how to get an FM3 visa, but this book also covers practical things about daily life in Mexico you don't find just anywhere: How people cook their meals, wash their clothes, do their shopping, and take out their trash. Banking, the phone company, water, and transportation. The medical system, insurance companies, and when you need a lawyer. I particularly enjoyed the little insights into Mexican culture and tips on social etiquette.
Most importantly, this book is balanced and objective. It doesn't attempt to "sell" the reader on living in Mexico. Good or bad, the facts are laid out and you can decide yourself whether or not Mexico is the right place for you.
