Hello from Guadalajara

Welcome Noah!

I hope you'll find a good job very soon

Do you speak Spanish? Is it required to speak Spanish to live in Mexico?

You've been blogging for 5 years! Wow that's very impressive

I look forward to read your stories (and I am almost sure I'll like your technology-related posts too)

Take care!

Yeah, I speak pretty good Spanish, but most of that has come from the last few months living/working here.  I would suggest taking a Spanish class for a couple months before coming. I did, and althogh I thought I hadn't learned much, it actually helped a lot.

The first 1 year or so was very low key, but now I try to post at least once per month (but I am failing to do that this month!).

Edit: I should mention that my wife does speak Spanish (at near fluency) and that, of course makes things a lot, lot easier.

We are in the same case noahb

my girlfriend is perfectly bilingual french/spanish, so it made life easier when we were in spain last year. Do you feel like "my spanish is crap" when you're with her? it happens to me all the time

So Guadalajara is the place for IT guys in Mexico ... very interesting ...

Yeah, I alway get that "my spanish is crap" feeling, but thankfully I am getting that feeling less when I am on my own.

Yes, I got the same problem, especially since my job is to speak french all day. So I can't really improve my skills. Bueno, pero the taxistas understand me (generally) ;-)
