    It's safer than Chicago.
    My wife and I live in Morelia, about 180 miles West of Mexico City. Most Mexican cities are pretty safe, as long as you don't get involved in criminal activities.
    The most dangerous areas are near the US border, such as Tijuana and Juarez.

      @CamillaJohannesen  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Totally agree, I'm from a town in Norway where it usually rains everyday, so you get tired of it. But after moving to New York, it never rains, and now I appreciate it so much when it rains :) But yeah, I saw that it's 2 times bigger! I found it weird that the park had an closing hour, but I guess it's for safety reasons?

      Hi Luis! Thanks for your comment, and taking the time to watch this episode! Hmm, I mean it is both? It's a forest, but also Mexico City's largest park. At least according to the locals, and the internet. And yes, it does have way more to do than Central Park, I find them both beautiful in their own way :)

    The musician sings a very tradicional song called ‘Querreque’ from La Huasteca, a vast region shared by Veracruz, Hidalgo, San Luis y Tamaulipas, and the tradition is to make up ‘coplas’ or lyrics in a funny way over ‘Querreque’ music base.

But it's massive, but you will have the best time in the neighborhoods I mentioned at the end of the video ❤️ They have all the best vintage stores etc! I will do my best in uploading that video, my vintage video from Rome actually did pretty good! Where are you from? I would love to visit your little store one day! I do have to say one thing, the vintage prices are way better in New York City compared to Mexico, I think the stores in Mexico city was curated way better, and as I said it was like small museums. But New York have way better prices. Hugs from Camilla

    The name of the song dedicated to you is called "El Querreque," which is from my home region in La Huasteca! They're really good at improvising "verses" for people when they "serenade" you (both men AND women) with often funny, "made-up anecdotes" without even KNOWING YOU!! lol

    I love this video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

    Nice vlog! You missed some of my favorite vegan restaurants in Mexico City! In case someone craves food from south east Mexico (Oaxaca, Chiapas, Yucatan), "Na Tlali" in the San Angel neighborhood is awesome for that. Also "Vegamo", which you can find both in the Centro and the Roma neighborhoods, if you're into ramen "V-Ramen" is a great place, available also in Roma and close to San Angel, near the UNAM university, and if you like more experimental food "Mi Dulce Jacalito" is in the Santa Maria la Ribera neighborhood, and they have delicious food with decorations and a bit of molecular stuff too, the place where it's located is nothing special but if you ask to sit upstairs you'll find a very cozy Van Gogh decorated space. Vegan food in Mexico City is definitely a growing and very tasty scene!
