I teach Thai kickboxing in a gym in Mexico. Went to Migracion, told them and they simply said what is that? I told them, got clearence and now I teach Mexicans how to kick the ---- out of each other. So, it just depends on what it is you are doing. And it is not as big a deal as some here make it out to be. Musicians, foreigners selling crafts or writings are all over the place. I have never seen anyone being dragged away in chains. Just go to PV, they are working all over town. It ain't Russia. And I worked for a friend over the holidays to help him in his catering business and you know what? We catered a party for the mayor. And I'm still a free man. Lighten up.
