I was wondering if you have any innovative ways in which to insulate the homes in Merida? I know many of the new homes are using double block walls to mimic the thicker colonial walls, but we have thought about what about insulating between those two walls or putting some kind of barrier there to deflect heat uptake, since heat is more of a problem in Merida. Any input from you would be appreciated. Good luck on your business.

I read your mother is an acupuncturist in Merida. I am also an acupuncturist and was interested in practicing in Merida. What are the requirements to practice? and what is the scope of practice? Thanks, Bryan Great interview! I read your mother is an acupuncturist in Merida. I am also an acupuncturist and was interested in practicing in Merida. What are the requirements to practice? and what is the scope of practice?

I've found from mexican girls and suprisingly a lot of the expat ladies that there is definate resentment towards me but slowly some have opened up to me which is lovely. I don't know why, maybe because I'm young, single and following my dream at a really young age and they're jealous, who knows. But after two years of slowly getting to know several locals I finally have some great friends who look after me no matter what. I think that is the big thing here with the locals, it takes them a long time to really accept you into their lives but when they do, its a whole new world! I think its such ashame when I meet expats who have moved here, thinking its such a big step and yet they still can't speak spanish and don't hang out with anyone but other expats. I simply don't understand why you bothered to move to a foreign country in the first place. I think its great that your hanging out with locals and are not really immersed with the expat community. and does your mother have a number of acupuncture appointments??
