It was so cute when you said that “you’ll have to pay the speeding ticket on the spot”. Actually, the cop will demand that you pay him and so he won’t give you the speeding ticket. It’s called a “mordida”

Just don't go overboard. Also, look where are you doing it, if you're buying handcraft (you can quickly tell they're) please do not. People in Mexico selling handcraft are really poor. You might save a few dollars, but they lose 20 pesos that could use to buy tortillas and feed their kids.

PLEASE DON'T incentive tourists to ALWAYS haggle or negotiate prices, it's such a bad practice! There are stuff that are completely negotiable like Chinese-manufactured souvenirs such as mugs, shirts, magnets, pens, keychains that you buy in Cabo, Cancun or Tijuana. ===> BUT if you visit Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz, Chiapas or other "poor" State, and want to buy some HANDCRAFTED souvenirs, please DON'T RIP OFF PEOPLE! They spent days, weeks or even moths crafting stuff for you wanting to negotiate 3-4 dollars off --> it might mean one more soda pop for you but to them is food for their entire family!

Great advise, however I would add on a couple of things. I have been to mexico many times and have visted several states, big cities (mexico city, guadalajara) and small off the beatten path towns, Here is what I would add: 1) when eating salsa be aware of "salsa cruda". This is raw salsa that is made with water. In non touristy areas this water may not be good for you. Ask if the salsa is salsa cruda. 2) If you are buying grocerys at the store dont forget to tip the baggers. They usually are children or retired people who are not paid and do the job for the tip money. you also tip the person that fills up your gas 3) The freeways are not free. When driving on the autopistas make sure you have the cash you need to cover your distance. 4) When you are pulled over by a cop and they want you to "pay the fine on the spot" that is not a fine. That is a "mordida" or a bribe lol. I have only had this problem in Baja, however it does exist. Try to negotiate this "fine" down. I.e I only have $20.00 on me and show wallet etc. 5)DO visit other places other than Cabo or Cancun. For first time visitors I would suggest Mexico City. if you can squeeze in a day for Taxco guerrero. Another great option is Guadalajara. Both options will have limitless possibilites for a few weeks of travel. 6) Its not as dangerious as you have been lead to believe. Use common sense and stay away from the bad areas. Just as a european tourist would not travel to the roughest areas of detroit or chicago, I would suggest staying away from the rougher border areas as well as certain places in michoacan and guerrero. Use your common sense and dont over worry yourself. You will be fine and will have a blast

Mexico is awesome, been many times and here are my bits o' wisdom: 1) When walking on sidewalks, watch your step. Many DEEP potholes will screw your vacay up quickly with a sprained or broken ankle and nice lacerations. Also, lots of parts are in disrepair and will crumble under your feet. 2) Watch for the water (like the aforementioned salsa cruda) - but plenty of other opportunities to get Moctezuma's Revenge - don't get served a can or bottle of Coke from an ice bucket, don't brush your teeth with tap water, and generally, don't eat cold uncooked produce. 3) Learn Spanish, and speak it fluently. That will get you out of a lot of trouble. 4) Don't ever, ever give someone a twenty dollar bill for a two dollar drink and expect change. 5) When you're eating at a taquería in a smaller, out-of-the-way city, don't expect beef. You don't see any cows anywhere! You do see stray dogs, though! Just sayin'. You do get three large tacos with frijoles y arroz por solamente $2.50!! 6) Stock up on your prescriptions in a farmacia. Much cheaper and you can find the same medicines as are available in the States. How do I know this? Well, most of our own drugs are manufactured in MX! 7) Ol' México isn't as dangerous or wretched as Hillary Clinton says it is, but just don't do anything stupid that gringo college kids might do. Like getting drunk and trying to fight a bouncer. 8) Don't drive in the left lane en las autopistas unless your passing. 9) Speaking of highways and biways, no lane markings in a lot of places! Just try to give yourself plenty of space around your car. 10) Watch out for "Alto" (stop) and other road signs - they aren't as visible and are quite small, and sometimes not even on the side of the road but in some obscure corner of a building somewhere. Last but not least, ¡diviértanse!

I first went to Mexico in High School for 2 weeks for 279.00 on a Spanish Class trip. It opened up my eyes to the world for sure. Going to the Pyramids of Sun and Moon just one of those places you’ll never forget as well as the major museum in Mexico City. I had taken Spanish in 8th through 12th grade and was able to take language test at college that allowed me “free” college credit given my proficiency. I’ll never forget Mrs Huff or Streator (later remarried). Later in life I ended up being a chaperone to Mexico for a local rural high school. One caution the guides said was never take a VW Taxi in Mexico City.

This is a great video but the one thing I disagree with is "haggling". Sure, feel free to haggle a bit soyou're buying cheap, massively manufactured souvenirs from China and Taiwan but PLEASE DONT HAGGLE if you're buying handcrafted local "artesanías". The $2-3 dollars you're trying to save may feed an entire family for a week or two. Please value the skill and details of the local artisans and pay what they're asking. Most of the time they're already undervaluing themselves.

I agree. It's pathetic how selfish some of these rich and middle class (rich by Mexican standards) are! Mexican people are much poorer than the middle class elsewhere, and the poorer Mexicans can't even have their kids in school. you'll see street kids selling stuff. These aren't kids who go to school and sell things on the side. These are kids who have to work full time, even at age 5 or so, to help feed their families. The poverty is INTENSE there and some families subsist on a dollar a day. So you can spare your 2 or 10 dollars to get an artist's work, for God's sake! I once saw an American tourist browbeating an 8 year old boy over the fact that the boy wouldn't take his ripped 5 dollar bill. I stepped in because the kid was literally just protecting his family. He knew that as a poor person, a ripped 5 dollar bill would not be accepted by anyone. The American man was clueless and treated this kid like he was worthless. It's a shame that people don't understand that poor people come to the tourist areas to sell their wares but they may live in a shack made of sticks and pieces of plastic. If their child gets sick, there's NO MEDICAL CARE and they DIE. A lot of people who are vacationing don't want to think about that but have a heart for heaven't sake and treat people with dignity and kindness. You have no idea what their life is really like, away from the resort, or how many people that one job supports. It's not their fault - it's due to nearly 100 years of having a government of oligarchs who just take take take and there's nothing left for the people. They really have no say. The electricity for a whole city will just be turned off at random (not in the resorts), or the water just stopped, and only turned on citywide for 20 minutes a week so you have to get as much water as you can store in that few minutes - it goes on and on. They struggle for everything, for every little dignity. Just keep that in mind.

Tap water in Mexico varies, Monterrey is fine but go to Mexico city and you should stick to bottled water. If you are staying at a hotel you can usually ask if tap water is fit for drinking in the area. Do be aware that you can also get travelers diarrea from changes or increased spices (both aromatic and peppers) or fat. Yes, you can haggle quite often, but please don’t if you are getting a craft from a craftsman. They are generally unappreciated for their art and hard work it will mean a lot to them that you pay them the full price or if you see fit give them a little extra.

As a family we went to Guanajuato and it was amazing! Both my parents are from Mexico and wanted us to get familiar with the beauty of the nation. We stayed at a hotel during the Thanksgiving holiday that was right in front of a plaza so there was always live music and the energy was so nice! The hotel had a very historical feel to it and since it got nice and cool at night we slept with the window open and it was the best sleep ever. We felt extremely safe to the point that my parents let my siblings and I walk around by ourselves to get food or take pictures. We are definitely planning another family trip maybe to Oaxaca or Aguascalientes (trying to avoid the tourist attractions).

Haggling?! BE CAREFUL. In our area at least, haggling is considered disrespectful, and one would only engage in it if the vendor (or taxi driver) initiates it. You just ask how much the service or good costs, and if it's too high you can decline. The vendor MIGHT then offer a better deal (but, in our area, usually not), and only then is it acceptable to haggle. If they don't offer to deal, then say "No, gracias," and walk away politely.
@brianlampe75
@brianlampe75 5 лет назад

*Rule #11:* If you are in a taxi and the driver gets into an accident - *get out and run away!* If you don't, and are Canadian or American, the *cops will blame the accident on you* and you will end up *paying graft* to get out of trouble! If you have a bag, do not put it into the trunk. Keep it next to you so if you have to bolt, you can grab your bag and run!!!

As a person whos owns a home in MX, this is outstanding advice. I think its just unrealistic, especially for first-timers, NOT to want to rent a car to get around. So having a video on negotiating/renting a car would be helpful. Obey the signs and watch out for topes!!

I too had an awesome time in Mexico- visited a friend's house in Puebla. People there were so nice (I speak Spanish, which helped). Went to Popocatepetl and got our pictures taken with the Mexican Army, who were doing an exercise there. Also the best tacos al pastor I've ever had! Gracias México por la gran experiencia!

TRUE, Mexico knows how to apretiate and welcome those who apretiate and respect it. And in spite of politics and the great rejection shown by the orange faced billionaire,that woman called Ann Coulter and others, we know that in general, people in the USA also know how to respect our culture, and be amigos, so...iiiBienvenidos!!!!

Sergio Martinez wrong WRONG... your serial offender hasn't paid his taxes, (his own words), in at least twenty years,..on the other hand the mayority of undocumented immigrants pay taxes... and yes trump was very disrespectful of mexicans and Latinos in general since the very beginning of his campaign...you know it!!!

Sergio Martinez Also ALL the way around..it was you who said.. "Illegals don't pay taxes and the country (I assume the USA), looses money'... (that comments have nothing to do with this video), yet since you touched it I know facts better, now back in my country, but I worked in a tax declaration agency a couple of years and was surprised to learn that in spite of their circumstances, undocumented workers pay taxes, specially since the tax forms started coming in Spanish back in the eighties... those are facts, not just repeating what some narrow minded, truth evader says. by the way, since 2008 the great mayority of undocumented immigrants going through our northern border into the USA are central and south Americans (including Cubans). not mexicans. iiiAdios!!!!
