Best Places In The World To Retire

Our government in Mexico is very similar to the United States. We have the Executive Power, the Legislative Power, and Judicial Power. We have a president, we have a house of Congress, which would be our house, our Congreso, which would be the House where our senators are federal and our congressmen are federal.  And then we have state legislature, where we have our congressmen and our governors.

Our government has made miraculous advances compared to where we were 20 or 30 years ago. We have more human rights treaties. We actually care for our Mexican people. We are moving forward as a country compared to being in the Wild West that we had the reputation in the movies from the 1950s. Our government is so sophisticated. We sent our electoral system, our voting system cards because that’s our identifications, to the Middle East to implement and show them how to make the cards and how to do the electoral process because we have voting cards. We have ballots and your voting cards with your registration information. That’s how advanced we are and we’re being copied in other countries for our system. It’s not perfect because there are a lot of Mexicans and a lot of people in our country. However, it is a good system in general.
 
We do have laws that protect just about everything and norms. We are a country of laws, norms, regulations, federal jurisdiction, state jurisdiction, and county jurisdiction. The law sometimes is moving so fast you have to as an attorney be up to date in checking every day what’s going on with Congress so you know if there’s any reforms or in the area or field where you specialize in.
 
Here in Mexico the voting places are usually in schools depending on where you live. And no, you don’t see coups at all. We might have protests, but very calm protests and no grenades, no gunmen shooting. People are calmer now. Mexico is a neutral country. We are not people who like to fight. And even though we have this horrific things here on the news, that’s not all of Mexico. Mexicans don’t want anything to do with the cartels. If you’re a common Mexican here you just want to go to school, come home, see your wife, see your kids, go to work, enjoy your country, travel, and do whatever you want to do.

Once upon a time, the American Nicaraguan School in Managua was the only school with bilingual Spanish and English instruction and USA accreditation, and thus was the school that most facilitated acceptance into US universities and colleges, but today there are several bi-lingual schools K-12 with US accreditation. Also, there are several that offer the international baccalaureate degree, which facilitates entry into European colleges and universities. It's probably also...

Once upon a time, the American Nicaraguan School in Managua was the only school with bilingual Spanish and English instruction and USA accreditation, and thus was the school that most facilitated acceptance into US universities and colleges, but today there are several bi-lingual schools K-12 with US accreditation. Also, there are several that offer the international baccalaureate degree, which facilitates entry into European colleges and universities. It's probably also fair to say that in Nicaragua, you have the opportunity to complement classroom learning with "lessons from life" and parents can play an active role and thus help make their kids incredibly well - rounded. 

I think Mark is a very generous person and I may come looking for a job soon.

 

I'm more in line with Shannon and I pay my cleaner US $20 a day and she cleans my house and does all of my ironing, etc.

 

I'm a single, tidy guy and she only comes once a week.
