About a year after moving here, a friend suggested the book "Choose Mexico" for those contemplating a move. http://www.amazon.com/Choose-Mexico-Retirement-10th-Information/dp/0762743921/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224517794&sr=8-1 It is in its 10th edition now. One of the biggest differences this book speaks to is the noise level. We noticed it immediately upon arriving, but did not know about the book before. It definitely takes some adjusting. However, things are changing here. If the music goes on after 11:00, many Mexicans will call the Police now. The Police actually come and tell them to turn it down. What can be done about those "sharing" their music in their cars with ear-deafening and earth-trembling bass? Nothing I suppose. Nice job!

I spent a year in a small town in Oaxaca a while back and the ranchero/cumbia/mariachi music would start blaring under my bedroom window at about 6:00am every morning. This constant background music was like a soundtrack in the surreal movie of my life in Mexico. On nostalgic days, I kind of miss it. Your #3 takes me back.
