No. If I had a do-over in life, I would not have brought my small children here. I feel terribly guilty. - May 2016

It worked for us as a first overseas assignment (especially compared to other places my colleagues went), but it wasn't easy and we were definitely ready to leave after two years. There are enough U.S. amentities to make it an easy first transition, as well as being close to the U.S. for visiting family. Mexico City and the surrounding areas have a lot to offer, and if you are in the U.S. government this is the place to be. The key is to travel, travel, travel. - Jan 2010
Yes. I was nervous about living in such a big city, but the feel of the city is much smaller than you imagine as you carve out your community where you work, shop, play, etc. We love the Mexican friends we made there, and we have many fond memories of our time. We would definitely go back someday, and while it is not the easiest place to live, the overall experience is worth it. - Mar 2009
This is my second time. The answer is yes even though safety and security is an issue. - Nov 2008
Absolutely. It's a wonderful country! - Oct 2008
