ABSO-freaking-LUTELY. - Mar 2014


Yes! I am having a great time. - Oct 2012

Probably. It was a good transition into the foreign service life for our kids. Not much of a culture shock as many things are Americanized. The rise in crime would make me think twice. I don't like that I cant roll down my windows without worrying I'll be carjacked. - Jul 2010


This wasn't our first choice. We considered it much too nice of a city. (Strange but true.) - Jan 2008


I wouldn't choose it, but its not bad. It is very easy to live here and the opportunity to travel around Mexico has been great but I would prefer Mexico City. - Jan 2008
