Replied in Mi primer encuentro con 'ahorita': ¿Ahora o nunca? Jaja
Totally! It really is like a secret code. I love that you've learned to just go with it. "Fluir con el ahorita" is the only way!
Commented on ¿Es fácil entender el español de España vs. México?
Jaja, no, it's definitely not just you. Spanish from Spain is super fast. Mexican Spanish is way more chill. It took me a bit to adjust too.
Commented on ¿Cómo abro una cuenta bancaria sin ser residente?
Hey man, I think Banamex might work. You might need your passport and a utility bill with your address. It's worth a shot, at least.

Replied in ¿Por qué todos usan chamarras en lugares cerrados?
Yeah, the AC thing is probably it. Or maybe they're just trying to hide snacks for later, lol. Good point though!
Replied in ¿Qué tan seguido debo comer tacos a la semana?
Haha, "almost daily is not enough"! That's hilarious. You guys in CDMX are something else. Here in Playa, I think I'm pretty close to that.…

Replied in Is bringing a car from the US worth the hassle?
Honestly, local transport is the way to go if importing is a mess. It's way less stress. Less paperwork too, lol.
Replied in ¿Por qué la gente anda con chamarra adentro?
Haha, totally! Embrace the layers is good advice. Sometimes I forget I'm even wearing one. It's like a sudden temperature shock in Mexico!
Commented on ¿Hay alguna diferencia entre 'güey' y 'wey'?
Yeah, exactly! Carmen's right. It's all the same word. Just different ways to spell it, you know? Depends on who's typing it lol.
Started Living near the US border: Tijuana vs Northern Cities
