Mexico/Roommate sought

Advertisement

Expert: Ron - 11/8/2004


Question
What's the best way(s) to find a roommate to share a modest $300-500/month place at Lakeside?

Also, how should I look for a barebones used computer solely needed to connect to the Internet?

I understand Prodigy offers DSL for $45 a month?  Is this so?  

Answer
Hola Roger, I would advertise for a roommate on the Lake Chapala Society's bulletin boards first, also on the boards at El Toritos and SuperLake Grocery stores. You could put an ad in the Guad Reporter, but you should get good response on the bulletin boards.

Not sure where to get a used computer. Try the St. Andrews' Anglican Church's Regalarama December 4, and check with the computer store in Plaza Bugamvilla. However most used computers are donated to local schools.

Yes DSL is inexpensive, BUT unless you sign up for 2 years you must buy the modem for about $200 (not sure the exact price).

Best regards,

I lived full time in the Chapala-Ajijic area for 7 years, and other areas 5 years. During that time I provided information (health care, working papers, immigration, driving, cost of living, insurance, culture, divorce in Mexico, trusts vs direct deed,etc) to help people make the decision about whether the area was right for them, either full or part-time. I live legally in Mexico.
