What do expats in Mexico City appreciate most about the local culture?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Mexico City. They wrote...

"Having to conceal the fact when and if you dislike someone. Not being able to throw temper tantrums in public without facing possible legal problems. Being able to enjoy the moment without being paralyzed by thoughts of what you have to do in an hour or tomorrow! Being obligated to greet each and every person who you come into verbal contact with, saying 'buenos' or 'buenas', which would be unheard of in the U.S," remarked another expat in Mexico City, Mexico.

"Expatriates in Mexico City appreciate the vibrant culture, rich history, and friendly people of the city. They enjoy the colorful culture and traditions they experience, such as sharing good food and conversation at local restaurants and markets, trips to ancient Aztec ruins, the many festivals and public holidays where towns and cities come alive, and the vibrant street art and cultural events taking place around the city. The people of Mexico City are known for their warmth and hospitality, and expats in the city find that there is always something new to explore and enjoy, making it an exciting place to live," said a member in Mexico City, Mexico.
