Replied in ¿Por qué los mariachis siempre andan de traje?
That's a great way to put it, cuatesin2. Their "uniform" from the field. It totally makes sense then why it's so tied to their identity. It…
Replied in ¿Ya saben cómo se festeja el 5 de mayo aquí?
Hey Lucia, thanks for the heads-up! That makes sense. I guess I was just used to the US hype. Good to know it's a chill day here.
Replied in ¿Dónde encuentro los mejores tacos de carnitas en Cancún?
Jaja, for sure! Juicy carnitas are a must. I hope El Guero delivers. That would be a win!
Replied in Remote work taxes: Any good guides for freelancers?

Replied in Newbie banking questions: Best banks for temporary residents?
Lol, yeah, the phone uploads can be a pain sometimes. Good idea to try the computer! I might try that next time.
Replied in ¿Se puede hacer amigos después de los 30 en México?

Replied in ¿'No manches' es el 'güey' de las exclamaciones?
Totally! It's the best for surprising moments. I feel like I say it too, even when I don't mean to. Hard to beat!
Replied in RFC para freelancers: ¿obligatorio desde el inicio?
Hey Alex, good advice! You're right, gotta get that RFC sorted. No fun with the SAT later. Appreciate the push!
Replied in ¿Es normal que la música suene tan fuerte en las tiendas?
Haha, that's too funny! A mariachi playing so loud you have to leave a store. Mexico definitely has its own soundtrack. I can picture that…
Commented on Quiet Lakeside Living: Chapala vs. Ajijic?
Hey there! Ajijic definitely has a more "villagey" feel. Chapala town is a bit busier. Both are nice though.

Replied in ¿Alguien más ama la decoración de las panaderías?
Haha, I know what you mean! I've definitely spotted some *papel picado* on the floor. Almost makes you want to sweep it up for yourself.
Commented on ¿Por qué el pozole es tan popular en Yucatán?
You know, that makes sense. It really is good comfort food. I've had some amazing bowls here.
Replied in ¿Uber o Didi en CDMX: Cuál es mejor?
Totally agree with you. It's usually a toss-up, tbh. Didi's cheaper sometimes, but Uber seems to have more cars around more often. Glad I'm…
Replied in Roma vs Condesa for long-term rent?
Yeah, Roma Norte can get loud. Condesa sounds like the chill spot then. Good to know about the grocery stores being great in both though.
