March 24–30, 2025 — Week 2 of the Mazatlán Work Trip
工作日的节奏已经步入正轨，没有特别的波澜。和同事开视频会议时，我分享了眼前的海景，大家纷纷好奇：在这样的环境下，我是怎么还能专心工作的？我笑着回答：“我是一个在中国出生长大、受过良好纪律训练的乖乖听话的中国人，哈哈！”
The work week has settled into a steady rhythm, with nothing particularly dramatic. During video meetings with colleagues, I shared the ocean view in front of me.

March 17–23, 2025: First Week of the Work Trip in Mazatlán
这是平静而有节奏的工作周。每天早上在海浪声中醒来，一睁眼便是浩瀚无垠的大海，鹈鹕，军舰鸟和海鸥在空中翱翔，不时俯冲入水，捕捉鱼儿。坐在宽敞的阳台上，喝完一杯热茶，吃完早饭后，便开始一天的工作。如此壮阔的海景在眼前展开，连原本枯燥的工作也仿佛变得轻松起来。PJG 每天都会独自外出徒步几个小时，探索这座海滨小城。
It was a calm and rhythmic work week. Each morning began with the sound of waves, waking to the vast expanse of the ocean, with pelicans, frigates and seagulls soaring overhead, occasionally diving into the water to catch fish. Sitting on the spacious balcony, after finishing a cup of hot tea and breakfast, the day’s work begins.

Sunday, March 16, 2025 – Day Two of our Mazatlán Working Trip
昨夜，海浪声与来往车辆震耳欲聋的音乐交织，一阵阵袭来，断断续续地持续到凌晨三四点。我最终戴上苹果的降噪耳机，才勉强入睡。清晨六点多，被海浪声唤醒，窗外的海鸟在海面上翱翔、盘旋，嬉戏于风浪之间。我俩泡上一杯咖啡和一杯茶，坐在阳台上，静静欣赏海滨大道的晨光与海天交融的景色。
Last night, the loud crashing of waves mixed with deafening music from passing cars intermittently persisted until around three or four in the morning. Eventually, I managed to fall asleep only after putting on my Apple noise-canceling headphones.

Saturday, March 15, 2025 — Departing for Mazatlán
从马来西亚归来后，我们便萌生了新的念头，渴望在另一座城市开启第二次远程工作的旅程。尤其是在去年10月，我欣赏的那位经理离开了公司，这让我毫无顾忌，更加坚定了今年必须实现这个目标的决心。衡量时差因素后，我们将目光投向了墨西哥。在翻阅整个墨西哥的地图时，在Airbnb的海量房源中，相中了马萨特兰的一间面朝大海的民宿。预订落定，与另一位经理沟通后，一切顺利推进。就这样，我们在马萨特兰的一个月远程办公计划，悄然成真。
After returning from our trip to Malaysia, we really wanted to do another remote-working journey. Especially since last October, when the manager I liked left the company, I felt less attached, further strengthening my determination to achieve this goal within the year.
Continue reading “Going to Mazatlan 去马萨特兰”Zhaoyang wanted to do another “work away from home” trip and after some debate, we settled on Mexico since it has a favorable timezone for her work and is easy to get to. Also, in the last few years, she has overcome her distaste for mexican cuisine. After an exhaustive search of many places in Mexico, including San Miguel Allende, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara and several other places, we finally settled on Mazatlán!
Our AirBnb search narrowed down the condo choices to about a dozen and then we started to do a more detailed review about the restaurants and bars in those areas. We ended up with two choices: Torre Eme and Boca Del Cielo. They are about 20 minutes apart and each have pros and cons. After a coin flip, we decided on the Torre Eme condos due to their proximity to the Malecon and several beach side restaurants!
