Making phone calls in Mexico by Maximilien
Hi, When settling in Mexico, one of the priorities is to be able to make phone calls. How to proceed to get a landline installed in Mexico? What are the mobile operators? What is your average monthly budget? Thank you in advance for ...
+1 for Cablevision/Izzi internet/phone packages from within Mexico City and Estado de Mexico. Support can be a bit slow but once everything is up and running it's top notch. They have competitive long distance/international rates as well. Read More
Driving in Mexico by Maximilien
Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Mexico? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excess聟 what are the characteristics of the driving style ...
I haven't read any of the other expat's driving experiences so I might be repeating what has already been mentioned. I lived in Distrito Federal for 10 years so I think my point of view regarding driving in Mexico is very valid though ... Read More
The other side of the Mexican postcard by Julien
Hi, As a tourist in a foreign country, very often, we are enchanted with what we discover. Living abroad is different. It's a rich experience but there are also some difficulties to face. When people ask me for advice on living abroad, I ...

why people is soooooooooo scared in mexico city? by afa
Hello; I'm living in Mexico City now but I used to live in U.S. for ten years. Curiously nobody wants to tell me where americans reunite here and when I finally see somebody American and I try to open a conversation, they ignore me. Come on guys, I ...
Well, not even Mexicans talk to other Mexicans on the street in my experience mostly due to the fact that there is just so much insecurity and stress living in D.F. If you are lonely maybe it would be helpful if you got in contact with your family ... Read More
