What It's Really Like Living in Mexico City 🇲🇽 

You missed the most important one the two guys in the park shared and you didn't understand, "Classism and Racism". Light skin vs darker skin, rich vs poor...

@@carlitospc Yea thats big problem of Mexico, pure European descestants dislike mixed and mixed clean aztecos, aztecos dislike Mayans and so on.

Hello my friend, where in Mexico City do you reside? I’m an Army veteran who will be taking my family to Mexico City. Any tips to having a good time? Also, how is the violence?

It's a good video about Mexico city. I would like to visit there because it's a good place to see and I would like to invite you to visit Kashmir, India this year to enjoy snowfall and skiing here and make travel vlogs in Kashmir so that everyone will know how beautiful our Kashmir is and many people can come and see. This will help tourism industry to boost in Kashmir

Wish you hadn't interrupted the first two young me when they stated "racism", "classicism". You stepped in and stated earthquakes. You should have allowed them to finish what is often unspoken.

Haha dude I was laughing when I edited the video and heard my mistake 🤣

Lmao. I was kinda lost there. Like what did they mean? No but classicism is what they meant. I've been lucky to not have experienced quakes though

We need the extended version of those two 😝, I can see the confusion between those words haha

¿Y el cinismo? 😂

@@dialogarconlahistoria8229 Lo mismo digo del capitalismo 😂

What's your last name? My last name is wolf but in spanish

I like your video,from bangladesh

Do you think Mexico’s weather is cool? Where are you from dude? 🤔

Sorry about that. I do my own subtitles and as is clear in the videos I'm not entirely fluent yet :)

@@TheNewTravel your French is funny! Is frenchglish! You should work a bit more on your French accent. Specially that you had the chance to be in Montreal

@@pabloareas2258 as long as we're being pedantic and kinda dicks... you should work on your English. That last sentence is all kinds of butchered.

Actually he said movility i also think is the BEST public transpotation in the world

Quiero irme a vivir allá, o a san Cristóbal de las casas, me encanta la humedad y la naturaleza, pero vivo en zacatecas, seco.

@@panzershrek7942 Sí, es un bonito lugar y la humedad es genial, solo que sí acaba con muchas cosas si no se cuidan.

Ay no recomiendo que luego llegan a gentrificar 🤭

Yes, my limited Spanish kicked me in the butt there. I would have asked more questions but I genuinely misheard

I can confirm, it is indeed a very big issue to this day :/

If you go way back to my older videos from 6 years ago (I have a playlist called Travel Mexico) you will find a lot of videos from all over. It's a beautiful country and Mexicans are awesome. I haven't been back in a while but it's where this channel got started. Hope you make the trip happen :)

Thanks man. I'm still self-conscious because my accent is strong, but speaking in videos like this is helping. Appreciate it :)

don't lie bruh his Spanish sucks 💀💀

No me digas, bienes de un país zurdo.

Suena más una zona perdida del edomex.

Mexico is definitely a lot more diverse than most people think :) even within different parts of the country there's huge variety

Most Mexicans are mestizos, children of Native Americans with Spaniards, there is also an African component in small amounts. This applies to all Spanish-speaking countries with similar or different nuances

Majority of Mexicans are of mixed race

@@eltecnico9541 there is not an AFRICAN " component in mexicans. Mexico never used slaves and told americans NOT TO BRING THEM TO TEXAS , which americans did anyway... As a mexican i find you and your comment disgusting.

@@2magma.commandthe Spaniards did bring slaves to Mexico during colonial times. You should check out the dna tests of the average Mexican. You would be surprised

Les da miedo salir de la Condechi.

The new airport is a massive upgrade over the AICM bullshit politics aside, I had the chance to use it and have no complaints at all, much more modern and it was surprisingly easy to get to the city center by mini bus.

Not any worst, that the US, trust me.

Roma Norte is a great place dor family. Great food and architecture! Museum overload

Who does?

An improvised patch to the city airspace and conectivity

Eso dice el cartel del prian. Tanbien deberias de mencionar que hacia Garcia luna en el benito Juarez

@@nemoriomartinez2003 y qué tiene que ver García Luna con el aeropuerto???? LO que está escribiendo @cesarcid es verdad. Deja de politizar las cosas y seguro no te has subido a un avión

Sadly we Mexicans are but we are so ashamed to admit it so you will only see Mexicans talk about "classism" instead. The thing is that it's only towards the indigenous native people (a.k.a. the ones who actually were there since the beginning while we modern "Mexicans" are just a mix of Spaniard and native indigenous (aztecs and mayans for example). But outside that, we aren't, specially with tourists, we are amazed to see people from other cultures, and about African Americans i think just being in Mexico they will make instant friends just by walking around, we like hip hop culture so much that is already impregnated into the Mexico culture, and in general happy reactions over African Americans, Asian, Europeans, etc... Sadly the indigenous thing goes all the way thru Latin America countries, but compared with a lot of them, they usually are less friendly and open minded about other "races". Greetings and México is waiting for you with open hands! 🇲🇽

And just to specify, no, we don't care about light skin and dark skin, we don't see colors but humans (but sadly still seeing with other eyes the indigenous minorities, but it's more about the Indigenous traits and never about the color)

I've taken a bunch of buses in Mexico and never downloaded an app. Maybe just google search the route you want to take and look for prices?

@@TheNewTravel we’ve had a look and haven’t been able to find anything conclusive or recent😭

hey if anyone lives in mexico and would be willing to download the ADO bus app and lmk the prices of a few routes i’d be eternally grateful😭

@@claudias7628 yo podría ayudarte, regularmente uso esa línea para viajar. Quedo atento.

​@@claudias7628 I can help you, you can reply to this comment with the routes and dates,

Woaaa take it easy man. Even I -and I LOVE CDMX- can list a few things I don't like, it's part of this. Every city in the world, even the best rated ones have downsides, there no perfect city in the world. A good evaluation has to consider the negative things as well. Instead you could've given your opinion on what you dislike about CDMX.

It depends on where you go. I live in France and a colleague from Morocco told me that she would like to go to Mexico because the coke is cheaper! I don't even know what the price is or where I could get that. I have worked as a teacher in a school and this is the first time I feel that my life is in danger, here there are many young people who do not control their stress and have killed several teachers. There is violence all over the world but the yellow news has more impact on certain things. Many French people have told me "be careful in this area because they kill there, they steal there, there is trafficking of weapons, drugs and other things" ... I thought it was a safe country

As a mexican, it really depends entirely on where you go. The calmer the place yo go to is, the safer it is. The one state I always recommend for people worried about the safety, is Yucatan (excluding very touristy areas). Any city there is absolutly beautiful, and it is one of the places where I have felt the safest, although if you want to practice your spanish you should go to literally any other place cause they have a very thick accent.

Born and raised all my life here in MX City. It 100% depends on the area. Some are safer than others and we live our lives normally, but just as in any other country, we grow being taught of always being aware at night hours, especially for us women, we don't expect to walk alone at night on an empty street and be safe.

I'm a Mexican born and raised here and I can say that as long as you visit the large cities and stick to the main streets you won't have to be worried about the crime. Sure, you can get robbed if you walk at night in some areas but I think that happens pretty much everywhere in the world, now if you go to certain states (mostly the ones close the border with the US) the crime (cartels and drugs) increases dramatically but at the same time the small robbery is reduced because they control what happens in those places. So if you wanna skip that, I'd suggest you to go to large cities and stick to tourist places (central and south Mexico).

for male it depends, most part no; for female unfortunately situation could be bad in the majority part of mexico.

And I know he did try to say some but mos of them were in english and even wiith the french one, he spoke fully french! like, i like his videos but after a lot of gentrification is sad to see outsiders just speak to locals in english expecting them to communicate their experience living in the place in THEIR language, it was not even that hard to try to have the things written haha

It’s easy. So don’t go to Mexico City if you don’t like it. I’m sure the sh*thole you are from is beautiful for you.

So as many cities in the US, specially the zombies, cities, which is getting wors each time.

Do you really think all the nice neighborhoods in Mexico are ugly? I'm from Hawaii and I don't. I think they're very nice..but I disagree on the people being nice. Sorry they're nice if they want something from you. Mexico is very racist, ageist and classist. I dislike it due to that fact, as much a people want to deny it.

@@claudiakai145 I literally haven't been to the "nice"(rich) parts. My husband's family isn't rich. I agree with you as to people being racist and classist.

@@andreawisner7358 I've also lived in NYC the Upper West side and still think they're nice neighborhoods in Mexico City. There's the real fancy ones but I like the middle upper better, like one called Napoles. Still the "culture," of classism racism and ageism ruins it for me. I can't ignore it. It creates a certain ambience that I don't like.

Seriously. U never believed that Mexico da things could ve cheaper. Maybe USA dollar is da second more important

Lol cheaper for who??? Americans with USD or average Mexicans??

you gringos should stop saying it's "cheaper" here 🙄 of course it is because you're earning in dollars. for us Mexicans it is NOT cheap at all.

Went to southern Mexico, the first time leaving g the country in my life, this January. I was only able to spend 2 days there, but it was the most important 2 days of my life. I’d learned Spanish to a relatively advanced level before going, but being there took me to a whole new level in terms of how naturally and colloquially I spoke. I met a girl there who was a Chilanga, on vacation from CDMX, and spent my 2 days there with her, exploring the island with her. The best time of my life, changed the way I think about slog of things.

@@spencerott2481 chilango is for people that come from other parts of the country to live in the city, Citadino o Defeño is for the native locals

with foreigners :')

Bueno al menos hablas español

I’ve been many times without experiencing pollution. I hear it is bad in the spring. Love the city!

😢 WINTER is Pollution Season 😢 When it RAINS during the summer months pollution in the air falls to the ground....and We Can Breathe!

My house is your house!!!🎉😊

Soy mexicana de otro Estado y cuando voy a la CDMX no siento la contaminación , antes ( hace muchos años) la ciudad si que estaba contaminada , al regresar a casa te dolía la garganta y al limpiar tu nariz te salía todo el " moquillo" negro😅😅!! Ha mejorado bastante en ése aspecto, pero realmente cada vez hay más y más gente!🥴🥴

it’s mostly a stereotype from the 80s and 90s, not that the city is not polluted but it’s actually less polluted than cities like LA or London, and much less than the big cities in India and China obviously… also you only notice it when it’s a very hot day and you are walking for hours. Mi guess is that most of these people are actually suffering because of the altitude, that is very noticeable if you are not used to it

And his eyebrows!!

He's got a playing game with his eye brows

I couldn't tell if he was on drugs or not, but I wanna take him home and do something delicious to him. 😉😅😋

he was practicing for his IELTS exam

Guadalajara es horrible, Ecatepec es mejor

mexico city is just as loud as nyc, also the most expensive big city in mexico. nearby puebla and queretaro are also pretty populated but much quieter and easy to get used to as they have your typical everyday american/european companies.

Smallest city Aguascalientes and Querétaro I recommend 😊

Morelia and Guadalajara are nice cities.

To me, a lot of cities like Queretaro and Puebla do feel like a smaller, more chill CDMX. I can understand the appeal of both!

Recently I've been doing a new type of content where I'm talking to strangers in different cities around the world. But I wanted to pay a visit to Mexico City again, since this is where so much of my channel started, and it will always have a special place in my heart.

Jajaja

Not happening. It's a protected area.

Agree will never happen that area is not appropriate, thankfully it got cancelled.

The socialist president killed that project. Now that new airplane is far af.

There's the new AIFA airport north of the city , but we know how that's been developing with all the bad press and the project got polirized and politized. Hopefully it gets certified so international airlines could land there and Mexican airlines give it a chance and stop their tantrums. It looks like its gonna be great airport but in like 5 years when the communication expressways and train are finished.

That airport that would be under water by now?

Very interesting to know as a Mexican :o, greetings!

No es tan mala el Estado de México si pero ya no es CDMX

no te preocupes, los gringos y canadienses SOLO ven lo culero de las ciudades en la tele diario

In my experience it's worst in the winter, just sort of hangs over the city. Other seasons aren't as bad

It is, believe me... Worst part is you can really do nothing about it since 99% of pollution comes from big industries

Bruh, I've seen wild fires starting even when it rains... it's insane. From 2020 to 2023 it's become very alarming, you can even see it from your window.

It's not that alarming. Of course there's a lot to be done in this regard, but the pollution situation is actually comparable to what other big cities in the world suffer -and let's remember, actually, this is not only a 'big city', this is a MEGACITY with 22 million people moving around each day! I find that this aspect is so mentioned in the video because the city is extremely beautiful, exciting and interesting... so there are actually few things that one could hate about it (I'm not from CDMX, but I've lived here for 7 years, and I just love it 😍).

It's in the winter because IT DOES NOT RAIN. Once late spring rolls around and the rain begins the skies clear up.

🙄

AIFA its fine. Ask luisito comunica.

Lol it's super far away from the city
