How safe if Juarez Mexico for people from India?

Question

Hallo, I am from Pune,India. My compnay is asking me to go to Juarez, Mexico for one of our US client. I would like to know how safe is Juarez Mexico for Indian people, how is work and social culture there? Is there any community of people who have come there from India to work.

What is the avrage cost of living in Juarez Mexico.

Answer 1

Juarez it's not safe for anybody, it has the highest index of illegal activities, the cost of living is slightest above the average compared to other cities of Mexico, but has the advantage of being the border with El Paso TX, which means you can go to El Paso an buy all you need (clothes, electronics, cars, etc) and is too much cheaper than Juarez (almost half the price), the culture is a mix from Mexico, south America and other, since it's a Border a lot of people go to Juarez trying to get to USA but not all of them can, so there's a lot of poverty there, so the culture is: poverty+alcohol+drugs+etc=violence;

And about the serial killer that's a urban myth, actually there's a lot of homicides including rape, most victims are females, but it's not a serial killer, There are many rapist/murderers. that's because there's a lot of factories who hires women, so they're an easy target for maniacs.

Answer 2

first of all, i am a female from Juarez, i live there, this whole thing about the murders of women hasn't been going on since a lot of time ago, now the situation is that we have the army here because of drug cartels, i don't think there is a community of people from India but i´ve seen a couple of people from there, most people work at factories from taking data to high positions, the social life, we have a soccer team, every year there is this festival called festival chihuahua which is free but still you have to get in line to get free tickets, this year placido Domingo is coming, there are some good international restaurants, clubs, car rentals, car dealerships such as Audi, Mercedes Benz, ford, Nissan, dodge, also malls supermarkets, there is this international boutique at a mall called mango, vip movie theater, a lot of things to do, i think that the cost of living in Juarez is not high, probably from 150-300 dollars a week would be a really good budget for living here with housing but if you are renting maybe from 300-500 would be good, another thing be careful and don't show anything luxurious or that looks expensive, also i have to warn you about telephone scams, these are all over the country, i have to say that i really love it here, good luck

Answer 3

I dont want you to quit your job but at the moment Juarez is one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico if you are a female.

There is a serial killer on the lose and the latest body count is 340.

If you are male you should be O.K.

Prices will be about the same and maybe slightly more expensive.

If you go across the border there are Indian communities but not in Juarez.

El Paso has a small Indian population.
