To learn more about daily life in Mexico, I am going to interview José Carlos Arias Amador, and he will tell us about his life in CDMX (Ciudad de Mexico, otherwise known as Mexico City!).
My name is José Carlos Arias Amador.
I am originally from Villahermosa, Tabasco, where I lived in a gated neighborhood close to my school. I moved to Mexico City for university and have lived here for the past eight years in a clean, modern apartment with a lot of natural light.
My dad, mom, sister and I are very close. We look out for each other. My parents immigrated from Cartagena, Colombia, to Villahermosa for their medical residency. So I grew up in Villahermosa, but I also spent most summers and holidays in Colombia.
