RE: An Australian in Mexico - Why I moved to the third world
I can perfectly see why you moved and i'd say you've done well. In Mexico with a bit of resources you could make bussiness without worrying about too much, such countries are almost always good place to grow as a bussiness or to just live there since it's probably cheaper than Australia in any way.
And yes it makes sense, people in a country with less resources have usually better improvisations to problems that 1st world people may not count on, as you said hunger is not so usual here, without a store people is lost. Countries should start to become auto-sustainable for an global currency to take over and eventually globalization.
Thanks Andu. Yes, the low cost of living certainly makes it attractive. From a business perspective, Mexico is very interesting, because almost everybody has a bit of business nous to open a stall and start hollering at people to come and try their product... But few business owners have an idea about things like branding, or customer service - beyond what they know intuitively. That is to say, they will almost always be friendly and welcoming, but they will keep you waiting ten minutes for the bill while they're chatting. So, sometimes I think if someone came in with well-organised staff they could make a killing here.
