I relocated my family down from Atlanta to Mexico City a couple weeks ago. We're living in a beautiful neighborhood, in a flat. And we love it here (Condesa) -- it's amazing in practically every way imaginable. As I was reading the linked article, it struck me that one of the reasons that we are enjoying our honeymoon period is that we are less isolated in this urban setting than we were in our suburban "cabin in the woods" in Georgia. We stroll outside, and meet the neighbors and enjoy the plentiful street cafes. And Tacos! It also struck me that one of the main sources of stress and arguments since moving here is that our internet provider, who is selling us 300MBps fiber service, installed their router/wifi access point in one of the bedrooms, surrounded by glass and thick concrete walls, meaning that the signal did not propagate to the rest of the apartment very well. We have literally moved countries, and are not proficient in the language or culture, and the main thing that has pissed everyone off (myself included, no doubt) is that we Facebook videos stutter or don't work at all while we're sitting on the toilet. Don't fret about us though! Yesterday, I finally had some network technicians over and put in a fine new set of wireless access points. One in the back of the apartment, and one in the front. Cutting-edge technology, and now we can get 200+ MBps connections practically anywhere in our flat. Even the toilet. |

Best tacos in the area IMO are El Kaliman and El Farolito. There's a poblano called Las Chalupitas that you gotta try for authentic mole and such.
In El Parque Mexico there is a small place with no name that makes the best tortas de pierna in all Mexico.

I moved outside of El DF but I loved living there as along as I didn't have to leave the zone (La Condesa, La Roma, El Valle, etc). Once you have to move to the South or North it can become a nightmare at peak times.
