What do you like about this subject? www.yucatanliving.com pretty much says it all. I love living in a country that has such an incredibly rich history and a varied culture. I love learning a new language. And I love the kind of opportunities that are available in Mexico.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? The Mexican culture is incredibly rich and deep and I hope to learn more about it.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Yucatan has never considered itself part of Mexico. Once separated by mountain ranges from the rest of the country, it has always been a fiercely independent area. In fact, it once tried to secede from Mexico altogether.
