Canadian living in Tehuacan English Teacher

Maybe. Have you considered Coatepec? Close, about the same size, I think, with a few opportunities for teachers. Depends on what else you like to do.

Thanks Babs.  I will look into Coatapec. I have a job offer for Istanbul and I have to make a decision soon. I'm torn. I really like Mexico,  Thanks for the quick reply.

Of course, if I were offered Turkey, I'd be gone already! Except it's a bit dangerous right now.

What's neat about Coatepec is that it's not a big city, but close enough to Xalapa so we don't have to go far for big city amenities--great museum, symphony, shopping, and like that.

Coffee and orchids grow in the area. If you have specific questions, ask.

Are there any language schools in the city. I think San Luis Potosi. I am weighing the pros and cons of San Luis and Istanbul and will make a decision tomorrow. Thanks for the info, Coatepec sounds much closer to what I want.

For me, San Luis Potosi would be too big, and too high as well.  6,000 feet! Coatepec is 4,000 and the climate is just right, even a little cool in winter. There is at least one language school here, and probably a couple more in Xalapa, a short commute away. As I said before, depends on what you are looking for and what you like to do. On the other hand, Istanbul----- 

Hi Babs:  Just to let you know I accepted the position in Istanbul. Everyone I talked to saw it as a once in a lifetime opportunity for a whole new experience. So if everything goes well I'll be teaching English in Istanbul in January. Thanks again for all your help. So ...Istanbul!!!!
