Answer
Mexico City is a great place to visit for a month!

It would be nice to have some more details about what you are looking to do in Mexico City.

Anyways, you can rent a decent (not a first rate hotel, but clean and safe) hotel room in downtown Mexico City for about $700 pesos per week, but that's with a shared bath. It also includes free internet in the lobby and a safe for your things. You can get a room w/bath for about $1,000 pesos per week. It really depends on what you want. There are many hotels in the Centro Historico (Downtown) which is close to many sights and things to see and do.

Yes, there's human flu in Mexico. It's also in the US and now it's in many other countries.

As for the cost of daily living: A ride on the Metro subway system costs $2.00 pesos (less than $0.20 US cents), a short taxi ride costs about $20 pesos, a bus costs about 3-4 pesos in the DF.

A tour of the city by Turibus costs about $150 pesos for all day.

Food: A tamale and a cup of atole (a steaming hot rice drink, often Chocolate or strawberry flavored) costs about 15 pesos. There's your breakfast. Lunch at a small-medium family run restaurant, the set menu comida corrida which usually includes soup, rice, beans, a main dish (enchiladas, beef or chicken steak, fish etc), a dessert, tortillas and a drink of agua fresca (flavored water, like juice) should cost between $40-50 pesos. Dinner: six tacos and a coke= $38 pesos (5 pesos per taco, 8 pesos for the coke. So your total for one day of food= $93 pesos mas o menos (more or less) and that's way under $10 USD at the current exchange rate of about $13.2 pesos to $1 USD.

Here is a list of prices for Mexico City. Some of these seem a little low, so maybe the list is a little old:

How much should do you have to spend in the least to be a competitive dj to get gigs @ clubs? ?

What things do I need to become a competive dj trying to get a gig in clubs? How much money is needed?
How much would I have to shell out in the very least to be competitive in a pretty nice club or radio station?



Answer
No experience in radio DJ.

Too much. Only the obsessed or passionate are willing to get that far in the business, because it simply costs a small fortune and lots and lots of time.

Do you have DJ friends? Hang out with them more, get advice, tips, and ask for some lessons. You could easily get started with skill and equipment information this way.

Most clubs will have all their equipment there already. You'll probably just need to bring some music and you'll be ready. But you'll still need your own set up, for practice and to climb the ladder. To climb the ladder, i find it easiest to keep practicing until you feel like a pro. Then throw some parties for your buddies, and offer to dj. For free or cheap of course. Play at high school dances. This will all get your name out there and if you find an online site or agent, you can find other events like house parties and weddings to dj at. This should all offer you plenty of chances to get a feel for "playing for the crowd". There's a huge difference between playing in your bedroom and playing for a crowd.
For your own equipment, expect to pay $700-800 for turntables, $100-300 for a mixer. And about another $150-500 on the sound system, depending on whether you want high quality or just something that makes sound lol.

By then you should have atleast met some people in the club business and impressed them. If you haven't, then you atleast have a decent resume under your belt :)

You'll probably get started as a warmup DJ. Remember to always build anticipation. And if you have passion for this, there's not much that can stop you.
