Post Report of the Day

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico

Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?

I walk in the neighborhood. Some bike ride to work at the Consulate. There are parks, but I haven't used them.

How much of the local language do you need for daily living? Are local language classes/tutors available and affordable?

Spanish is very useful and recommended in CDJ. It is gaining popularity and is used frequently in El Paso. The Consulate has a tutor and classes. El Paso has community centers and colleges with classes.
