\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6now what?<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Living in paradise<\/a> is one thing, but becoming part of the community and culture is quite another.\u00c2\u00a0 At some point, all the awe-ing, gawking and pinching yourself every day that you actually live in the Caribbean begins to transform into wonderful and delightful sense that you are truly home; and can truly call yourself a part of this paradises\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 culture and atmosphere.<\/p>\n

To get to that point, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I suggest\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.<\/p>\n

Go to as many local events as you can\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Here in Playa Del Carmen, there are as many local events as there are sun kissed days; from weekly movies in the park to free Spanish lessons at the local language schools to weekend community bike rides and street fairs.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a great way to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of this magical place we call home.<\/p>\n

Eat at somewhere other than 5th<\/sup> Avenue…<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, there is a whole city that surrounds the main areas of 5th<\/sup> Street or Playacar.\u00c2\u00a0 No, seriously!!!! \u00c2\u00a0LOL.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is where you find some of the best food the Yucatan has to offer.\u00c2\u00a0 And at a much more reasonable price as well<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And if you are worried about safety\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6DON\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T.\u00c2\u00a0 Playa Del Carmen and its\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 surrounding areas are some of the safest in North America.\u00c2\u00a0 According to USA Today, per capita, there is less crime and violence in The Yucatan than most US cities \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even Orlando, Florida.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 So when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re planning your next voyage, leave \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Disneyworld\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6The Happiest Place on Earth\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, off your list.<\/p>\n

Open a business\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

You know all of us, at some time, have dreamed about becoming the next \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sam Malone\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Cheers) on some Caribbean beach, selling Pina Colada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and Margaritas to droves of hungry and thirsty tourists.\u00c2\u00a0 Well now\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your chance.\u00c2\u00a0 Mexican law have changed quite a bit in the past 20 years and believe it or not, the government actually encourages new businesses enterprises by foreigners.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good for the economy and good for the local employment rate.\u00c2\u00a0 But make sure you seek advice from one of the many Mex-perts on how to develop your idea; from a legal standpoint.\u00c2\u00a0 Most endeavors are easier to start here than in the United States or Canada<\/p>\n

And lastly\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Go to church\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Mexico is a heavily religious culture, steeped in family values and respect for others.\u00c2\u00a0 One of the best ways to really integrate yourself into this magical city is to become part of its spirituality.\u00c2\u00a0 So no matter what your denomination or religious belief, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great way to meet people and really get a sense of what this richly spiritual place is all about.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Be quick to see where others are right, not wrong\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and you just mind find that the things that bind us are far greater then the things that divide us.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not preaching, but I think anyone could use a little of that \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you?<\/p>\n
