    I think it's awesome they close the street for bikes on Sundays, my husband could do IT computer work, he can build one from scratch and troubleshoot problems, the guys that repave the roads dug up the cable that brought internet access into the neighborhood, they said it would be two days to fix it, he went out and got a Wifi range extender, put it on a tree in the yard and ran a cable inside so we wouldn't go without internet while they repaired it. He was able to pick up a really good signals from routers outside of our community. You will see him go into MacGyver action before he goes without internet. Thanks again for the video.

Not that I don't love TACOS! :) But when I was in France staying in a small neighborhood rather than a Hotel... I was so enamored with watching people carrying a super fresh bag of croissants or something whilst riding a bike down the street, and then following my nose to go find the shop or bakery selling it! .... Being in Mexico is being a foodie! :)

    How do you obtain a business license and business number for tax purposes?

    • @JoseArteagaTravels
      @JoseArteagaTravels  3 роки тому

      You have to register with SAT for tax purposes. Everyone has a tax number You just go to the office with the appropriate paperwork and you can pay as many taxes as you want. As for a business license it is a bit different out here. So depending on the business will determine whether you need one or not. Or if you need another type of specialty permit or license to operate your business. If you plan on doing something more complicated than the small business ideas I mentioned in the video I would highly recommend you hire yourself a lawyer and seek council with them.

While travelling last winter and spring, it seemed like more 50% of street food vendors are now just selling hamburgers and or hotdogs. In my opinion, this is destruction of a culture. Perhaps the local population prefers hamburgers and hotdogs, evidently it appears so. As a visitor, it's a bummer though.

The free market is definitely going to benefit me as it will bring lower overhead costs. Where I plan to relocate now is in Fresnillo Zacatecas.
