By the way. I can probably help out a few people with depositing depending on the amount. Just PM me.

Anytime!

Thank you for taking the time to post this...can you PM me your realtor's info?

Has anyone needed to buy office or bedroom furniture? I assume there are stores for that...Has there been anything that anyone *needed* but couldn't find in Rosarito?

peanut butter
medicinal grade bananas
random smoke accessories
taco bell


Shane - if u ever run into this problem down here...you can open a PO box in San Diego and there's a company that goes 5 days a week to pick up your mail and bring it here. Amazon, ebay, etc is all back within reach again, and I've found that most things you can't find here you can at least order online.

Furniture - we wanted to buy some desks but they were $80 each at home depot here. There's prob much cheaper, locally made products...or even hiring a carpenter we've heard is a great idea (basically free labor and great craftsmanship). There ARE furniture stores though obv, and this place is actually known for its woodwork I think?

whole foods type stores dont exist down here so you either have to get quality food from a restaurant (which are all dirt cheap and great btw, just a hassle if you are on the grind) or get the generic crap from a mexican grocery store if that matters to you.

Has it been easy setting up bank accounts locally?

yo bryce there's a place called nutri-food I meant to tell you that is all these healthy smoothie's and stuff, I believe they deliver as well. I have their menu if u want any info from them, seems like ur kinda place

I know if you want to receive mail you have to get a PO box, but what if I have something shipped that I have to sign for...couldn't they just deliver it directly to my unit? I might call them tomorrow to see.

I miss taco bell and little caesars!

OD...the PO box is in san diego man, no reason or possibility to sign for anything

Nah,they have PO box's here too. Right next to the Oceana del mar. But in the states fedex delivers directly to your door,so I would assume they could deliver directly to your door in our condos?

no, man. I'm not 100% on all the details, but you don't want a PO box in mexico. Mexican mail takes literally months to deliver things, since there is no centralized government mail system, but a bunch of privatized companies in each region that communicate with each other independently, taking forever.

What is set up next to oceana del mar, which is what I have, is a PO box that is located in San Diego, but the company goes up and gets your mail 5 days a week and brings it to another mail box for you here. They pay all import tariffs on any packages, then you reimburse them when you pick up your package.
You can also send mail to the US through them, and they'll bring your mail to the US and put it in a drop box.

180/yr...110/6mo...or like 30/mo

Need help with Mexican Banks or housing? I can help

I'm not 100% certain that this is the person that helped me get settled in Rosarito, but I'm pretty sure it is (I mentioned to him that a lot of poker players on 2+2 needed help with relocation).

I'm going to confirm via email if this is in fact my realtor; as I have posted, I highly recommend the guy who helped me and I get nothing for sending people his way btw. I'll post after I speak with him.

Thanks,now I understand. I was told they didn't have a month option,but I'm glad to see they do. What do you need to open it? I think I will go sometime this week.

anyone going or even know anyone going to LAPT Colombia in Oct.? I see Squee, EeeTee, and soydemillo regged...but I guess this is a smaller event not many people attend? (Only 1k and 3k buyin events)

Has anyone here who had a neteller account pre-UIEGA tried to get back onto Neteller either by reopening their old accounts or opening a new one? Or anyone been able to sign up to NT living there who never had an account with them before? They seem somewhat more easy to deal with and set up to go then MB are.

Unless you have a Mexican ID (or aren't American) then it's a no go. Been that way ever since UIGEA.

I don't like eating out and wanna make my own stuff. I just need produce, dairy, meat and maybe some peanut butter and strawberry jelly. I can get all that in Rosarito, right? If not I guess I can go to San Diego to get it.

Still flip-flopping between Rosarito and Cabo. Gonna have to just wait and see what happens I suppose.

Go to Rosarito CB, there will be at least 3 Arizonans if u do. I will need a ready supply of Pepsi somewhere in close proximity. i cant handle Pepsi withdrawls.

and can u bring wtvr u want across the border food-wise and just shop in san diego if u wanted?

[not trying to get all food snobby] - if you like eating the normal peanut butter they sell that at super markets here, however the only kind I eat.. the kind you have to stir exists only in america as far as I've seen so I pick it up whenever I go to SD to visit my gf. some produce and meat looks a little questionable with flies buzzing around everywhere so I've just stuck to things like baby carrots prepackaged in bags, bananas and avocados etc. I haven't done anything barefaced like apples/pears but that's just my prerogative. Meat I just haven't cared to prepare yet because I haven't wanted to put in the time so I don't know anything about it. I imagine a BBQ cookout down here would be fun... I'll add that to our list of things to do which is adding up quickly, lol.

ultimately, if you don't care about whole foods/trader joes quality you will be just fine. I'd recommend to try eating out at some places though - its a very different experience down here. Its super cheap (I often find it cheaper than buying food at a grocery store), they frequently put a ton of work into making it for you and it can be amazingly fresh/awesome... from this post in a couple weeks time I'm inspired to compile a list of the best places to go and the worst (I've only had one bad experience so far and it was also felt by cafe noire on a separate basis at the same place) to go to around here. Input from others always welcome!

Also to Bryan - yea that store is one of the closest possible places to my apartment (super conveniently), thanks for the recommendation though because I would have loved it if I hadn't already found it lol.

there's a weird cup of noodles flavor here called pollo y chipotle. I don't really like it

Having some type of word doc with all the best/worst and fun/different things to do in Rosarito would be sick. I would def help you with the list once I have moved. Thanks for the help!

Confirmed via email that this was the realtor I worked with.
