Where does your partner/husband/wife/lover/mate/darling come from ? by Tôm Cà ng
Hi everyone, This poll seems confused but the truth is, it's kinda simple but needs explanation cause there are 3 variables: 1-2) same nationality/same as country: (A) your dumpling stayed at home and you went abroad and (B) hey ! I assumed you ...
English. Living in Mexico. Partner is Mexican. That'll be 5 then. Read More
Mexico by Julien
About the blog directory, I heard that it's wrong to have Mexico in North America.... Should it be in Central America? Thanks in advance for your help!
Errrm, in theory I shouldn't be in this debate. Mainly because, when I first started talking to my girlfriend I thought Mexico was in South America! Sorry, sorry, sorry. I could use the excuse that I didn't do geography at school, instead I had to ... Read More
Racism by Julien
Do you feel racism in your country? Is it complicated to integrate yoursleft with local people or are you used to it? I really like London because the city is a lot of people from everywhere, and everybody seems to be integrated. I don't feel ...
Three weeks ago I would have said that Mexico is the most un-racist (is that a word) country I have ever visited. In the two+ years I have been here I have only had to endure two incidents: (1) a drive-by tomato-ketchup-sachet pelting (a lot more ... Read More
an englishman in mexico by willkay
Hiya. I left England two and a bit years ago and moved to Mexico. I fell in love. Fell in love with a Mexican, before I moved, and then, after my move, fell in love with the country and the people. My girlfriend worries that I will miss England ...
Thank you. Have sent some time wandering around, reading, and withholding comments. Sometimes it is a bit like arriving to a party and everyone has already had their say. It gets a bit scary when you comment on a thread to find that everyone else ... Read More
How long have you been far away?? by Mandy
Hi everyone!!! All of us here are travelling a lot away from our country trying to find either a nice job, a nice experience, or just simply a nice way of living...away from our home country! I wondered how many years you all had been abroad? ...
Two and a half years. But that is only because I left two and a half years ago. I have no intention of going back to England - ever. After 44 years living there I have seen it, done it, bought the t-shirt. Now I have a whole new country to discover ... Read More
Your worst mistakes speaking a foreign language by Pat
I guess I has happened to you all. You are talking in a foreign language, convinced that what you are saying is particularly clever. Yet everybody starts laughing. You repeat, repeat and again, making it worse and worse... Then you realise you have ...
I'm sat at break time (recess) with a group of Mexican children.They are all talking English because I am there. I try to break the ice by answering a question with: "No se nada" - I don't know anything Unfortunately they all hear it as: "No se ... Read More

What do I like? Obviously it goes without saying - but I'll say it anyway - I love Maria! As to what I like, there are too many things to list but for people thinking of visiting/moving to Mexico, the first, and most important, thing is the ... Read More
Am I blind? by Tanya
Hi - I'm new here, and I may be blind: I can't find where I can download an Expat-blog logo link to put on my blog... please send me in the right direction. Thanks!
