Are you kidding? You could live like a fucking king! I have friends here in Mexico who have rough but livable housing, indoor plumbing, maid once a week, cable TV, etc... all on $US 50 a week! It has got to be more difficult for gringos like us who will drop $30 on a massage, but living here on the cheap can be done!

Falcon,
I stayed at the Hotel Frances which is very famous and near the Cathedral. An incredible old building, it is one of the oldest hotels in Mexico. And the prices are good - $64 a day for a suite with a huge bathroom. But ... the noise was excessive and for that reason I would not stay there again. Music in the lobby till 10 or 11pm and then a disco until 2 am! Plus street noise. But you can take a chica to your room without a problem. I heard that staying with a family - from the IMAC school -is good and an interesting way to learn the language. But it is hit and miss and you cannot bring chicas home to someone's house! Also I would not waste my time at the various strip clubs. The esteticas are easily the best and cheapest way to get laid in this city. Check the yellow pages and the Old Forum for ideas. -P

Falcon,
I studied Spanish for 1 week at IMAC in Guadalajara back in Feb.
I enjoyed the school. A HUGE number of local english students and only a few Spanish students. Lots of young girls, age 15-22 (?) at this school. They were too young for me, but if you are 25 or less you could easily meet a local girl there. I met (dated) one of the teachers! Each day there is a conversation exchange class in the late afternoon. These sessions are a great way to meet the locals. Also, Valentinos Estetica is only 3 or 4 blocks away, so after class I would take an afternoon siesta there. $35 for a sauna, massage and FS. A good deal. -P

hey falcon: no longer gdlman. I will not be goig back to guadalajara for a while. At least that's what I think. I am 24, droped out of college at 19, lost a grip of money in the 2.5 years i lived in mexico. plus another grip of money before i moved down there "livin large" here in the US. I am triying to reach the 100,000 USD mark by the age of 28, so I can go back and live 4ever between guadalajara and PV. I just love it down there.
with that type of money i can live very comfortable for the rest of my life if, and only if, it is well invested. I know a few individuals who live in guadalajara with $ they earned here in the US... young and full of energy to enjoy the beauties of life....good luck with the language schools. Guadalajara can be very enjoyable knowing your way around....

GDLMAN Thanks for the info about Guadalajara. IMAC is one of the schools I am looking at. Also University of Guadalajara, C.E.P.E., this is the launguage school part. About the same cost.

When are you going to GDL again? I'll buy you a beer.
