The guy in the Fact 38 is actually Luis Muñoz Rivera, not Luis Muñoz Marin.

[@alyrios]

That was his father, but yeah, big mistake there

[@tonyfeliciano2717]

That's right

[@contreras244]

Haha I live on luis muñoz Rivera road In fajardo

[@kings17court]

The facts stated were indeed about Luis Munoz Marin. The mistake was that the picture is of Luis Munoz Rivera, which is his father.

[@jamesjohnsonRTR]

A great short video about this beautiful island. There are so many little things that one can discover while driving around the island. The mountain roads are a TRIP! You need to take a ride in the mountains.

[@joser1853]

What's so insane about Puerto Rico, is its unknown music culture. I'm a backpacker that has traveled 40+ countries in the past couple of years. Everywhere I go you can listen to Puerto Rican music, and yet in places like Eastern Europe and Asia they have no idea that Puerto Rico even exists. It's the opposite for example to Cuba.

[@dannyandino6002]

As a Cuban here us Cubans feel that Puerto Rican’s and Cubans feel like we are practically the same exact thing culturally geographically and historically even our flags are the same exact thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lol the only difference is that Cuba is an communist independent country while you guys are still under American rule

[@momcilojabucilo9320]

You are right about Easter Europe not knowing about Puerto Rico practically anything but Cuba is famous and very respected by us ashtray stood up against the tyrant,America

[@JC-yf1tc]

My dad and the rest of my fam on both sides were born in Puerto Rico. My dad really wants to take me there so he can show me all the places he grew up in

[@fortimusprime]

As a Puerto Rican, I loved this video!🇵🇷 I learned a lot myself about my beautiful island (the Government is another story). But I can confirm: We a strange hybrid of the old world and the new world. But the people are great. Totally worth visiting this island for a vacation!

[@Emy53]

I was born in Brooklyn. I visited the island twice in my life; 1976 & 2017, first was honeymoon, 2nd visit for family reunion. I visited Tenerife, Canary Islands and then the mainland Spain, Andalusia area in 2019, for another family reunion. My lineage combines both cultures and I embrace them. Hands down, the Puerto Rican food, for me, is better than the cuisine in Spain. I love my lineage and embrace both.

[@samspurlock4730]

AMELIA I'M DONOVAN NICE TO MEET YOU THAT IS FALSE

[@silverfuryranger]

As a Puerto Rican, #70 is not a general rule, there are a ton of exceptions, I recommend not doing it tbh unless is with really close people. Good video 💪

[@Emy53]

Never heard of #70. We naturally kiss our families when they enter the room or leave. We don't randomly just lean in a kiss a stranger...but I have seen females do it more than males. I have kissed a family friend but not random people in the street.

#77 is an interesting one, especially the palm trees. You would think that palm trees are native to PR, but I found out a while ago that they were imported into the island.

Being from Puerto Rico, it was a surprise that you made a video on it but greatly appreciate the showing. There were a few facts that need revision but it’s a good start for conversion!!! Thanks again 🇵🇷

Fun fact: Ricky Martin was in a Puerto Rican boy band called Menudo as a teen. He's been an entertainer for a loooong time.

Growing up in Miami, I saw a few iterations of Menudo. Always a good concert

When I grew up in the 60’s my family called the national bird was the Puerto Rican parrot 🦜 funny how it changed somehow. The indigenous used the parrot as its symbol because indigenous peoples had many known languages throughout the world able to freely flow speech by anyone. People spoke so fast you had to listen very well. Anyone indigenous could speak own languages and Espanol, French and English, plus Portuguese and maybe even other languages such as Criole and of the natives of Canary Islands was very common.

Just something I wanted to address about number 70 the kiss on the cheek tradition, we don’t really kiss on the cheek in the middle of a conversation we do it as a greeting and as a goodbye, for example when we go to a families house for Christmas for example we go to all of our family members and kiss there cheek with a hug usually and we do the same when we’re going to say goodbye

101Facts, free pronunciation coaching here = Dominican (Republic) is doe-MIN-ee-cun, rather than doe-min-EE-cun, the Taino Indians are tah-EE-no, since there's an accent on the 'i'; Fortaleza is four-tah-LAY-zah, rather than four-tah-ZAY-lah, but you're right in that it means 'fortress'. Also, Ponce is POHN-say, rather than 'pants' with a British accent. Another, more sensible, way of saying Puerto Rico is 3 times smaller is that it's 1/3 the size. All of this information is absolutely free! : ))

In Puerto Rico segment. You didn’t mention some of the more unknown places. In pr. Like subtropical dry forsst. and aurora island(also known as guilligan island). Most favorite by the locals on weekends. also known as the door of the Puerto Rican culture. The guanica bay first conceder as the first choice for the capital of the island. as today the harbor is consider the most protected har nor in the world. and believe to be the Spanish entrance into the island. also the American invasion took place.and the natives Indian migrants from the Amazon through the same harbor.

Nonstop flight = self explanatory. Direct flight = Point A to Point B with stops in between (but you don't have to leave the aircraft). It's like a ride on the tube or bus. Change of gauge = you switch aircraft but the flight number remains the same. Common when you're on a flight with a short then much longer leg (JFK to Hong Kong, for example. Change equipment/aircraft in San Francisco).

Wow, as a Puerto Rican (who actually *lives* in Puerto Rico) I did not expect to be pissed off by this video so much in the first five minutes. Also, that bit about most people speaking English is BS. Most people here speak English to the same degree that someone who took Spanish in high school in the states has a grasp of that language.

Lin-Manuel also stared in a movie that was 90% shot on the island called "200 Cartas or the Search for Maria Sanchez." There is also a museum dedicated to Lin-Manuel in his parents home town "El Galleria de Lin-Manuel Miranda" which houses not only things from Lin's projects, but fan art as well. Though I do release you may be giving Lin his own 101 Facts video and that'd be cool if you were.😊
