"The frequency of the crime is never easy to adjust to. It's much better now, but when I moved to Mexico for the first time, smog was a big problem. There seems to be a lack of organization in the way the country functions. But if you look at it with a sense of humor, it's almost charming. No one likes corruption, and it's a problem here," explained one expat living in Mexico City, Mexico.

"Expat life in Mexico City can often be quite challenging, as there is a big difference between the culture of a developed nation and the culture of Mexico. The language barrier is certainly one of the biggest challenges to overcome, as many people in the city do not speak English and communicating can be difficult. Mexico City is a bustling metropolis with a very fast pace of life, and this can be a difficult transition for those used to more relaxed cultures.
