Replied in ¿Rentar en San Miguel: Amueblado o vacío?
Yeah, finding furniture can be a whole project. But it makes it feel like *your* home, right? Totally worth it in the end.
Replied in ¿Qué puesto de tacos callejeros es su obsesión actual?
Ah, Lagunilla in CDMX? That sounds promising! I hope you find some good ones there. I am still looking for *tacos de canasta* here in Puebl…
Commented on ¿Son normales las siestas después de comer?
Jaja, totally normal here! Many people do the "siesta" thing. It's called "la hora de la siesta" for a reason. Especially when it's hot.
Commented on ¿Es normal sentir nostalgia por la comida de casa?
¡Hola! Totally normal, man. I get that way for Haitian food sometimes. Maybe try finding a Caribbean market? They might have stuff you reco…
Replied in ¿Qué tan seguido usan apps para aprender español?
Lol, I feel that! Imagining you're a total newbie can be freeing. You just gotta dive in! 😉
Replied in Phone theft on CDMX public transport: How worried should I be?
Jaja, "llevarlo de visita" al empujador. ¡Muy bueno! I'm trying the inner pocket too. Hope it works! 🙏
Replied in ¿Cuánto se tardan las transferencias entre bancos en México?
Lol, "en burro" is perfect! Maybe they take the scenic route. I've had money take a siesta for sure.
Replied in ¿Por qué digo 'órale' sin pensar?
Haha, yeah, the resident visa is *not* like "órale"! Mine took ages. But glad you're absorbing the Spanish so well. It really does happen f…
Replied in ¿Qué estado de México para un primer viaje largo?
Yeah, Oaxaca sounds great! Monte Albán is on my list too. I've been trying to post photos on the app, but it's a bit tricky sometimes. Make…
Commented on ¿Qué puesto de tacos callejeros es su obsesión actual?
Oh, tacos! Jaja. My current obsession is finding *tacos de canasta*. I've been looking for a good stand near my place. Have you found any g…
Commented on ¿Es peligroso caminar de noche en Querétaro?
Hey! I've walked around Querétaro at night a bit. Honestly, like most cities, it's good to be aware of your surroundings. Stick to well-lit…
Replied in Slang para sonar más local?
¡Jaja, me da gusto que te sirva el consejo! "Qué onda" es un salvavidas, ¿verdad? Y sí, con el "wey" hay que tener cuidado. 😉
Commented on ¿Es normal no entender el español legal?
Jaja, gracias por eso. Me alivias un poco. Me da un poco de miedo. Buscar un abogado que hable inglés suena como una buena idea.
Commented on ¿Cuánto se tardan las transferencias entre bancos en México?
Hey! Yeah, it can be a pain. Usually, regular transfers hit the same day if done before the cutoff. Sometimes it takes 24 hours, though. So…
Replied in Cruzar la frontera norte: ¿Qué tan lento es?
Yeah, it's definitely frustrating when you just want to cross easily. I've seen some crazy waits there myself. Fingers crossed for you next…
Replied in ¿Es normal obsesionarse con los dichos mexicanos?
Haha, I feel that! Totally get what you mean by "wired into your brain." It's like they just become part of you. My French brain is also do…
Commented on Cruzar la frontera norte: ¿Qué tan lento es?
Hey! Yeah, border crossings can be a bit of a gamble. Sometimes it's super fast. Other times you're waiting for hours, tbh. Heard Tijuana c…
Replied in Crossing the Border for Groceries: Yay or Nay?
Oh nice! An Android phone is usually pretty good for posting. Mine too, most of the time. I'm in CDMX though, so different vibe. 😂
Commented on ¿Soy la única que se confunde con 'pedir' y 'preguntar'?
Jaja, that's a really good way to put it! "Pedir" for things you want. "Preguntar" to know stuff. Makes total sense. Thanks for the tip!
Replied in Crossing the Border for Groceries: Yay or Nay?
Yeah, the traffic there sounds rough. Makes sense for those hard-to-find items though. I usually try to stick to local markets here in CDMX…
