Unhappy "Roommate"

I heard from my now former potential roommate. She is in Cancun currently and emailed to say hello. She is living with her Mexican boyfriend for the summer. She said she has met some people downtown and they were "rude and disrespectful" to her and nothing like the people who work in the hotel zone. Well, no kidding. My response to her included the following, but I was probably a little nicer about it in email than I am here.

1. She has only been there for 3 days. Give it a chance.
2. Obviously people in the hotel zone are nicer. We, as tourists, pay their salaries.
3. She is basically alone there, without a job. She has no network, no connections.
4. Bottom line: American in a foreign country.

This doesn't make me nervous, surprisingly. I feel like I know the area very well, I have made many connections with expatriates via the internet and I will have lots of Canadian and American co-workers in addition to my Mexican friends. Plus I will have an actual roommate, not just live with some Mexican guy I have met twice.

What I am nervous about though is that the days keep passing by and I still have not heard from the director of the school yet. What the heck? Maybe this was why one of the expatriate women I met online said her daughter "used to" attend that school...
