Welcome to the Aburda page I'm back in California getting ready for Business school and as such haven't been doing much wiki writing, but once I get settled in I'll hopefully be doing a lot of articles about Northern California.

 * Understand Mexico
 * UnderstandMexico.com is a result of my frustration at the lack of Mexico investment information available on the web. While I was doing my final thesis for my MBA I needed info on Mexico, but everything was either in flash or non-existent.  I was running a website development company on the side, so decided to turn my Mexico research into something practical.  My studies are now complete, but the site has managed to hang around.  I now have a real job (in Mexico) and am slowly convincing the Public/Private sector investment agencies that they had better take the web seriously if they are going to stay competitive with Asia.
