Cuernavaca, Morelos Mexico - The second edition of the humorous expatriate guide Mexico: The Trick is Living Here was released on www.home-sweet-mexico.com this summer.
July 23, 2007 (Press Release) --
The belly-laughs continue with the release of the second edition of Mexico: The Trick is living Here on home-sweet-mexico.com in June of 2007. The expatriate guide is for those who want to work, live, or retire in Mexico. After a successful year of sales of the first edition, author, Julia Taylor expanded the book adding new sections on documents, cost of living, health care, and driving in Mexico.
"I asked my readers what they would like to see in a second edition and used their suggestions to expand my book." The book now includes many legal issues such as getting an FM3, bringing cars from the north, car insurance, issues unique to Canadians, finding a doctor and health care plan, and much more. All of these topics are potentially dry reading, but not in Taylor's book. She manages to present the necessary information succinctly and with her usual wry honesty. Where ever possible she includes short, bulleted lists that summarize her information and can be used as check lists. The reader can just fold down the page with the appropriate list and work through the steps one at a time. Her writing style makes the reader feel as if they have a friend giving them advice tailored to their experiences. She shares funny personal anecdotes that not only make the reader laugh, but let them know that they are not alone in the adventure of living or retiring in Mexico.
Mexico: The Trick is Living Here Second Edition has all the information of a typical expatriate guide, but reads like humor writing. It's sort of Let's Go meets Dave Berry.
"I started this book as catharsis for myself because the transition to Mexico is not always an easy one," says Taylor. The book has already benefited many others who want to work, live or retire in Mexico. "I'm particularly happy with my section on cost of living. It's hard to get useful information on the cost of living in Mexico because much of what is printed or on the internet is contradictory. I created a section that will allow readers to relate their personal lifestyle to what it would cost in Mexico. It helps the reader figure out if Mexico will actually be cheap for them or not."
The book is available for instant download on http://www.home-sweet-mexico.com/retire-in-Mexico-store.html/. The newly updated web site www.home-sweet-mexico.com is full of free information on cultural differences, conscientious travel, and safety, among other topics. Those who enjoy Taylor's writing can read her articles and blog on the same web site as well as read comments by others who work, live or retire in Mexico.-eh
