Living in Baja

In order to live in Baja you should:

1. Be patient or be open to learning patience
2. Be respectful even if you don't understand
3. Learn Spanish or at least learn the words correctly
4. Be open and accepting of the differences in culture with a slant towards trying to understand without trying to change the status quo.
5. Be open to learning. They can teach us more than we can teach them!

***Please! Learn to pronounce people's names correctly!! Don't Anglicize or give cute nicknames because you can't take the time to learn correct pronunciations!!
