  2. It is a beautiful área and easy to live here yes for those who complain they should check other places.In Chiapas we had to get things for an exhibición opening saturday and onnfriday the maestros decide to block all roads In the state..if You think Ajijic is a mess You should have been In Tuxtla stick onnthe Road innmiserable heat..Also My neighbors who have tinacos have no water because the city does not have enough presdure to send the water to the top of the hill and if they did the system.that is old and obsolete would break up..Do not move to México if You want a good infraestructura.wait until the Chapala área runs out of water.. Thait Will be way worse than the traffic.

    I notice that even the most negative folks on here....are not packing up and moving to "empty-ville" Utah or "freeze-em-off" Canada. This is, after 20 years, still one of the best places I have ever lived in....and I have seen a lot of places...some with no traffic.  

    I am moving away at the end of April, so some people are moving out . In my case to another place on Mexico, not away from Mexico

  4. In San Cristobal where we lack water Sapam said that 38 % of the water delivered is wasted.. via tap, toilets, tinaco leaks... talking about awful and they complain about Cocacola using a huge amount of water but plenty of people do not have tinaco with shutoff valves and as the water is delivered at night only the tinacos overflow on the streets on a regular basis..

    How big of a container to you need for rain water?

  5. join the rest of Mexico it is the same everywhere my 40 minutes commute in Chiapas to a small village is now 1h30minutes.Trafic is getting horribl everywhere.. Try the arco nort or Puebla or small towns wher there used to be no traffic..I guess the economy is not so bad and everyone is getting a car not to mention gringos who have 3 cars for  people. Everyone wants more and more and it is reflected in the traffic , the overcrowding, the contamination and on and on.

  6. Today I received a message that said that someone was trying to withdraw money 8700 from my account .. did I authorized or not. I saw th message 2 hours later- I said NO. turned off my cards and call the bank in Ajijic and I was told it was a scam. If you answer yes or no they have your number and try to scam you. erase the message and do not answer the phone if you answered the message.

  7. I use the AJijic office where I have known the people there for many years. I give a deposit for the year but I do not pay the full year and pay as I go as I have a couple of meters. Once this year someone from Simapa came to my door to tell me to pay the water. I call the lady in the offfice, she gave me their account number which is at BBVA and I snet proof I have paid to her via whatsapp. The next bill showed my payment.  Maybe I got some special treatment because I have known then for a very long tome but that is how I did it. 

    It pays to know the people well here 

  8. I got 10 death certificates from the funeral Home and used about 2 or 3 

    But those were the Mexican ones.I needed a few for the US and for France and the bank in the US but my experience is that many times the original death certificate was returned.

    I went to Guadalajara to get an apostilled Mexican death certificates for Frame or US i do not remember.

  9. I was reading that the population worldwide was diminishing and that except for some Arican countries, women have way less children aand that problems are looming because of that.. so the overpopulation may just be  here for just a few more years but no more..

    Honeybee is correct about the glaier dwindling down and that is true in Alaska as well so there is a climate change and it is wrmng up. The cause of it if there is one is another thing that no one seems to agree on.

    Well, I just checked out all the suggested links to pay this years  predial and SImapa. I also checked the ones from last year. Sigh....None of them work. all the phones don't answer or are out of service and the links to pay on line are broken....surprised?

    Its the annual cash grab free for all everyone, so be sure to pay by credit or debit card only . You need the paper trail. Simapa will probably insist once again on cash only. You can tell me the reasons why but I have my own ideas. Insist on an official factura and give them an email they can send it to. If they say they cannot give one (again), don't pay it until they do or report them to SAT.

    Simapa tried once to give me a hand written 'nota'. It was either last year or the year before. At the time, I refused to pay because this is neither valid, legal, nor acceptable. If anyone tries this with you, do not give them your money. Either say you will come back when the factura's are available, or go to another office to pay who will give you the factura, and make sure to rget the name of who were talking with when you were refused a factura.

    BTW, all official factura's are electronic and must be sent to your email. This is federal law. If they give you a paper copy, even if it has an official "sello digital", it is not valid. Report them to SAT. Our faliure to report these things allows the system to remain as it is. Corrupt. The SAT website does work.  https://www.sat.gob.mx/personas/otros-tramites-y-servicios

    Frankly, I don't know if I should be appalled by this annual display, or embarrassed for them.
