Slang for Baja. Or more correctly, Cachanilla is slang for soneone from Baja.

I gotta admit, however, that I think I have heard it used once.

In this case I believe that Bob/Susan are referring to Santa Rosalia.
It's a local thing and I'm sure there is a story there.
As far as the CURP goes I always forget if it's the "old man's" card, the medical card or the residence card ??:?:

Bajahowodd - 3-2-2011 at 05:12 PM

cachanilla
slang
Meaning: a person from Baja California

Example: Mi hermano y yo somos de Mexicali, Baja California. Somos cachanillas. (My brother and I are from Mexicali, Baja California. We are cachanillas.)

mulegemichael - 3-2-2011 at 05:30 PM

ok...one more time; what's a CURP?

Bob and Susan - 3-2-2011 at 06:00 PM

Cachania=Santa Rosalia

Curp is an ID number
used to identify you to the government

if you have an fm visa you now have one

Russ - 3-2-2011 at 06:38 PM

Thanks

I have a CURP but it was totally separate from my FM and I had to go to the town hall in SR to get it.

BajaBlanca - 3-2-2011 at 08:30 PM

if you call ALONSO he can get you one without your leaving your house:

in la paz 612 142-9590

tell him blanca from la bocana says 'hi" :)

in la bocana CACHANIA refers to santa rosalia. local slang name for the town.

Man, the odd guy misses again. CURP card is issued at Santa Rosalia (Cachania, to all of the locals), and is at the Palacio building across from the El Muelle restaurant, at the outside opening door at the far right front of the bulding. They wanted the original version of your FM2/3, a letter attesting to residence from your Delegado, Passport, and a copy of your latest electric bill. It is not an old age card or Senior Discount card, but an ID card. You already have a CURP number if you have an FM2/3, but if you do anything like apply for Seguros Popular you will need an actual CURP card.

Ummm. What I meant to say was I wanted to work locally in case there are some jurisdictional issues. Does not make sense that there would be, but this is Mexico.

I read somewhere that a CURP is required now for FM3 renewal (mine is due soon). I see no number on my FM3 which could correspond to that number. Also since one is required for a cell phone or hiring labor, I figured to just do it.

What if one prefers to be known by his name? It's kinda deflating to be reduced to a number.....like a prisoner or something like that.
Can one choose his/her own number? That would help self-esteem a lot....like Lee Marvin in that movie, "King of the North" or something like that. He was called "A-Number 1." That sounds pretty cool.
I can hear it now...."A-Numero Uno....A-Numero Uno" being called out in a government office.
Ohhhh wellll.......

Cachanilla is reference to someone born in Mexicali BCN. It is also
plant that grows in the Viscaino Desert....originally used to make huts by early settlers. :bounce:

If you cut one and hang it on the wall, it makes a natural room air freshener.

Yes, that is true, but it is spelled Cachanilla, whereas the native peoples always referred to Santa Rosalia as Cachania. If you look at the Baja Almanac, it is spelled out in Parenthesis. It may well have the same derivation as all of the people I have asked report that it has been called that for generations, so who knows.
When I saw someone from Mulege ask the question, then it was obvious that he was listening to local people when he refferred to going to Cachania to get something which is how all of the locals from Guerrero Negro to Loreto would refer to Santa Rosalia.

Bob is right. When I renewed my FM2 the new card did have a CURP number, but when I wanted the Senior Card and did the enrollment for Seguros Popular, they actually wanted a real card and would not accept the number on my FM2 and I had to go and officially apply for a CURP card.

Isn't Mexico exciting with so many different layers of how to correctly do things.

curp

akshadow - 3-3-2011 at 09:11 PM

renewed FM3 December in San Felipe, NO curp number space on Fmm for one but no number noted
I thought the "curp office" said too much paper for people who will never use the number for any other purpose

Yes sir that is correct.....:bounce:

In case anyone cares, in English the plant is called Arrow Weed. Around here the early Quechan and Cocopah used it to construct huts for summer living. The walls would "breathe" allowing good air circulation, relative coolness and they smelled good. Every year the Cocopah construct a replica on the main rez near the tribal offices. But, how their ancestors obtained chicken wire is a mystery to me.:?:

So, Oso, I have questioned the locals and they seem to have no idea why Santa Rosalia was called that, so I wonder if there is some connection to the plant. I guess this goes back to the original name before the French came in and started mining.
