What main languages are spoken here?:

Spanish is definitely the main language in Monterrey, but you will hear English and Korean pretty often. There are a lot of people from the U.S. and Korea who have moved to Monterrey.

What type of money is used here?:

Monterrey uses the Mexican peso, like the rest of Mexico, but because it is so close to the U.S. border, there are a lot of places where you can exchange dollars for pesos (even at places like HEB). 

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

In most places, a bottle of water costs 20 pesos, which is the equivalent of around $1.00. 

What was the best meal this week?:

It was a goat cheese, sundried tomato and prosciutto pizza on a cauliflower crust from Nectarworks, a Monterrey chain that specializes in healthy food. 

What music did I listen to this week?:

This week, I have listened to Aitana and Yami Safdie a lot. They are going to be coming to Monterrey for the Tecate ‘pal Norte music festival, and I want to learn all the lyrics so I can sing along. My favorite songs are: Segundo Intento (Second Try) and Música en el Cielo (Music in Heaven) by Aitana, and Amigos para Que (Friends for What) and Tu Amiga (Your Friend) by Yami Safdie.
