Yucatan Living

Yucatan Living is the best source for current news of what's happening in Merida with their weekly posts on current events and their event calender. It's a good idea to check in every week before your trip. The owners call themselves the working gringos because they are a gringo couple who moved here and started working building websites.

Some of the most popular articles are about expat life in the Yucatan from getting a drivers license to building a house. But there's plenty of tips for tourists as well.

Here is an excerpt from one of my favorite articles about the Mexican Fosa Septica...
"We promised to explain why you should not put paper in a Mexican toilet, and we’re not going to let you down. There are actually several answers to this question and the most puzzling of these is: you can put paper in a Mexican toilet! Yes, you can. The toilet will not spit the paper back out like a wrinkled dollar from a vending machine. The toilet police won’t show up at your door. And there will be no immediate ill effect from your indiscretion. But it would be rude."
