  • So many things now part of my everyday life in Mexico were strange before. In today's video from Mexico City I discuss what some of those things are.

    I'm glad to see the true Mexico,and not the annoying "girlfriend tag " " winter haul " and stuff. I also like that you don't show your face. TH-cam has enough narcissism already. Saludos cordiales.

    • @TrueMexico
      @TrueMexico  6 ปีที่แล้ว +38

      Thanks for that. One reason I don't show my face is exactly what you said about narcissism on TH-cam.

      Zehila chill you have like one video and it's your face to the camera. Hypocrite and Narcissist to add to your portfolio.

    • @HighOnAmmo
      @HighOnAmmo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Showing your face as a host can mean a lot but as this guy seems to be documenting his experience and not himself experiencing it, what you say is pretty fair. There is a difference though. Many people enjoy seeing someone actually experience it but they have to have some kind of personality and respect to go with it. Somewhat like an Anthony Bourdain type of show. And it's not about youtube being flooded with narcissistic money grabbers but more that many people want to be famous and some people just want to have an audience to show their creative outputs and then there's the inbetween crowd of entertainers/performers and such.

    I laughed my ass off when he played the junk sound, never thought an Englishman would pay attention to those sounds and actually adapt to them and personally, as a Mexican born and raised can't stand those sounds they park right outside my house making those annoying noises "se compran colchones, tambores, refrigeradores, estufas, lavadoras, microondas o algo de fierro viejo que venda" .

      Ebvardh Boss La gente tiende a ser más fría cuando interactúan y no son tan abiertos como los mexicanos, hay cruces peatonales en los cuales todos los automóviles tienen que parar al momento que ven gente que quiere pasar, el uso del alcohol no es puesto como un taboo ya que aquí es algo aceptado culturalmente y para terminar la cantidad de multiculturalidad que existe aquí, o por lo menos en londres, es muy grande. Literalmente puedes encontrar a gente de todos lados del planeta viviendo aquí.

      PANCHO VILLA they might be exaggerating. Other European countries such as Sweden DO have problems with the amount of immigrants getting in who are mainly Muslim refugees but as far as I’m aware it’s not as bad here as they say.

      When i went to Mexico, seeing soldiers carring their weapons threw me off. I was a bit jumpy when i a saw a whole squad of guys walking in public with their guns.
      Which is ironic because i live in San Diego where there are a lot of military bases. Well, no soldiers ever carry any firearms outside the bases, so it was a bit of a culture shock to see people openly carry guns like that.

    Then you would have to go out and ask for a tank of gas.
    Also the guys who collect the trash would ring a bell and you had to go out and hand over your trash

    My biggest reverse culture shock in Mexico is entering stores and having the shop owners do their very best to avoid you and having no greetings/or greeters and giving you a lot of space.. they will only talk to you if you go up to them and ask, they won't chase you around the store..
    IDK if anyone else relates?? Specifically in Northern Mexico ..
    Some places will even have people out there to open doors for you, but still, very quiet.
    I don't mind it though. It's a less annoying shopping experience..

      @nateroxx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      RythmBoy if you're in a heavily Mexican or Latino populated area like a major city you'll find it. It's a common paleta flavor where I live (southern California). By far my favorite :)

      Never crossed my mind to call it a sweet brown avocado but I guess you are very accurate. It is sweet, it is somehow heavy (if you know what I mean and not buy weight) and has a big ass seed in the middle lol
      I never really liked it when I was younger until my mom made me an ultra kick ass mamey smoothie, freaking love it now!

    Even for me, a native mexican citizen now living in the United States, it's hard to get back to the whole kissing on the cheek when saying hello and goodbye. I have been living in the US for more than 10 years now and have come accustomed to the wider personal space and low physical contact of this country. So when I see family in Mexico it feels uncomfortable to airkiss everybody.

    Hello Paul, I got a suggestion. Have you considered adding spanish subtitles to your videos? Now don't get me wrong, I love the quality of your videos and enjoy them because I fully understand english, but most mexicans don't. And I think mexicans are your target audience, so I thought maybe editing in spanish subtitles and using spanish video titles could help your channel. I want to see it grow, you deserve it. I want you to be able to explore all of Mexico and share with us your opinion. You know we mexicans love to see a foreigner enjoy our country. Anyways, great video as always, I just watched it and I'm eager for a new one.

    • @TrueMexico

    Oh my, I just found out about your channel and I am having a blast. As a Mexican who grew up loving British sense of humour (Mr. Bean, Monty Python, and so many more) finding that sense of humour applied to my hometown is like the perfect sauce and taco combination haha. Love u already! Thanks so much.

    I really like your videos because the people who are not from México may know the TrueMéxico. If you let me ask you a few question.
    1.- which are your favorite mexican food?
    2.- I know this question maybe has nothing relative with your channel but i have to ask.
    Did you watch Coco the movie? And if you watch what do you think about it like an english guy? Do you think that movie like other country citizen?
    Grettings!

    One thing you forgot, the smell of Mexico. But not in a bad way. It's the smell of wet dirt and fire as it's common for households to burn their little scraps of trash late at night. Good video very acurate

    even tho I'm Mexican I don't like the whole hug and air kiss but i still do it only with my relatives, but with coworkers or friends I don't, they maybe think that I'm rude since I just use my hand to wave goodbye to them and that's all😂

    • @oliviagomez815
      @oliviagomez815 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      sookie I agree. I am Mexican-American and am comfortable embracing and kissing (on the cheek only) my relatives and good friends. However, I notice that more and more (gringo) Americans are hugging, too. I don't know what to think about that. Times are changing for sure.

      Ja! Ja! I remember la primera time one of mis primos brought una novia gringa a la casa de mi tía para la nochebuena. She was only halfway through meeting la familia (about 50 of us) when mi primo realized she was overwhelmed. He rescued her from the rest of the family showing their hospitality. Quite a few years later en la nochebuena, she & two other gringas who had married into la famiia made their "true confessions" to mis primas y yo. These chicas were still overwhelmed by the plenty affectionate greetings. It was a surprise to us but after hearing this, las primas would stand aside & let them be greeted by los tios y los primos. & everyone was happy : )

    Good thing here is that you can get in the street the mexican verison of fish 'n' chips: get some pescaditos and an order of papas fritas.

    • @TrueMexico
      @TrueMexico  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's exactly what I've been thinking about for a while. Pescaditos is pretty much the same as the UK one, just in the UK they leave the fish big. If I asked the vendor here I am sure he would find a large piece and then it will look totally the same.

    • @TrueMexico
      @TrueMexico  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Do you live in Mexico City? It doesn't rain 250 days a year, no way! And all the stats show around 60-70. But yeah, in those summer rainy season months you get these grey clouds a lot, and it can actually get quite cool.

    • @billypilgrim1
      @billypilgrim1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes I do, haha maybe it's an overstatement tied to the fact that I've lived here all my life. But it does rain pretty frequent, and maybe blame it on global warming but the rainy season gets longer and longer. I dont know, man. Maybe I need to live somewhere else for me to start to appreciating the weather.
