What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"In this country, a social life is important. Have friends from your native country, but also befriend the people from your host country. The people here are lovely, warm, and affectionate," remarked another expat who made the move to Mexico City, Mexico.
"People tend to work long hours during the week, not much on the weekends which is generally reserved for families. If you have kids you will be invited to tons of birthday parties, parents are expected to attend, not just drop the kids off. The parties are quite extravagant compared to the US," explained one expat living in Mexico City, Mexico.
