Hola! Que onda! my name is Kari and I'm 21 years old. Spanish has been my main interest for many years now (I have been taking it in school since kindergarten, it was my major in college, I don't work in places that don't require that I speak it) and I love everything about Mexican culture, and I really want to move there and live and work. I don't really have any special skills other than that I speak English, and am good with a computer, but I also do not have a college degree (can't afford it!). I have a friend who was deported back to Tapachula and has told me that I can come stay with him and his family for as long as I want and maybe we can get an apartment or something down the road. I am just wondering - is this feasible? I already know I would have to apply for an FM-2. I don't really care what I do down there... ninera, mesera, cocinera, it doesn't matter, I just have always wanted to live in Mexico and I finally have an option to do it. Les agradezco for any advice you could give to una chamaca =]
Also, does anyone live in Tapachula? That is where he & his family live, or at least very close to it. I'd just like to know a little bit about the city I would be living in!!
And lastly, what was the biggest culture shock to you when you moved to Mexico? Most of my friends are Mexican and so I know quite a bit (like never, ever tell a Mexican you think Clamato is disgusting!! Hahahaha) but I am sure there will be things there that will leave me scratching my head.
Gracias por todo sus consejos!
