Travel, because I went somewhere as much as I can. Gotta see this beautiful country. Nightlife is kinda expensive here. Wed is ladies night though, free entrance and drinks most places. Telephone...so expensive. If you get a cellular be careful, I know two people who "lost" theirs this semester. Don't call home, have them call you in general. I grocery shop at Wal-mart. Don't be deceived. Mexico is not cheap (in the city). Maybe 10% less than in Canada in general. Electronics are much more expensive. CDs are SO CHEAP!

Get a Scotia Bank account. They don't charge you to withdrawl from your account in Canada from here. If not, it is like $3 each time. TAMPONS, bring them from home. Expensive and hard to find.

because of the cost of life that is cheaper than in France. I spent more in travels because it is an activity that I don't usually do in France.

Most imports and luxury items are ridiculously overpriced. Prices I would not pay in the USA.

The cost of living in Mexico is much lower than in Canada. It is an amazing choice for those who cannot afford the cost of Europe but still want a rich and cuturally diverse experience.
