So I'm sure some people knew how I lived in budapest for nearly 2 years (Highly recommended) I'm now currently living in playa Del carmen.
I've decided to pretty much answer all questions regarding Mexico and just give up updates on life here on the "what is good" and "what is bad" in Mexico.
I've been pretty blessed I guess being able to be in most countries in the world cause of online pokerz.
The good:
The girls are hot
Most people speak english, except like cabbies, some places away from the main spots.
The weather is great
The food is cheap away from the super touristy places
The bad:
our old place was super nice but it seemed like everything was falling apart. (I'll get more into this)
The prices are really expensive at the bars on like 5th ave and calle 12
Having any house work done here, or having something fixed is incredible difficult
The internet is very bad in some places and its monopolized which makes it even more difficult.
So We were living in a complex at Sabbia (really nice btw) and it was a penthouse (will attach photos later) with a rooftop jacuzzi and pretty reasonably priced. we were super excited and loved it, but there was so many little things that kept breaking that it got very annoying after awhile.
The jacuzzi was leaking at first, okay no big deal
Then the door to my room wasn't closing..
Then the fan stopped working in my room.
The the water issues where they cut off the water in the city...

Etc etc all the little things add up and make it pretty frustrating, we had the place till December 15th and moved into a brand new building now, it was suppose to be Finished on November 25th and we are actually the only tentants in the building right now.
So last night we get into the place and it looks great, the only downside it seemed that the rooftop pool isn't finished and the elevator isn't working.. again small things in the new apartment.
So we move on to today I get woken up at 7am becuase of a hammer just smashing concrete till 11am, i finally get out of bed frustrated and the power goes out for a minute with that the internet cuts out for 3hours.
I'm sitting here super frustrated now, so I decided to use the Brand new washing machine in the place, yah that doesn't work.
Photos of the new apartment.

Anyways it's really incredible how bad the mantinence is on luxury apartments here and how there can be so many issues with a new apartment..
We looked at an apartment with a really sick view but it was just on the edge of the city but I ended up taking a photo of it, it was only like 200usd/month more but we didn't think it was worth it...

I've really been trying to learn Spanish im @ 15% fluent on Duolingo but its sooo difficult since everyone will speak English to you here but I'm starting to understand/remember a lot more words now and will keep progressing hopefully..
Will try to reply on a regular basis with things to do/see since I haven't really been anywhere in the 6 weeks here.. haha
