Chances are that you may not see this comment but I hope you guys do! I'm a big fan. I currently live in México City and I am currently thinking about moving to Guadalajara! I'm super nervous! I would like to know where you recommend living, and some what your personal view on the city of Guadalajara?

If you think that Spanish from Guadalajara sounds different, wait 'til you hear the one from Yucatan 😂

[@jessejimenez5849]

Or those nuts from Culiacan

[@TangerineTravels]

😂 We'll probably go to the Yucatan right around the time that we feel like we're really starting to "get it" here in GDL. And then suddenly we'll be starting from scratch again Lol

[@luis_zuniga]

Mexico it's a massive and diverse country; every state has its own culture and accent. "A nation made of nations" said the head of the World Tourism Organization in reference to the huge difference between states. About race, I would dare to say that we are as diverse as the USA, there are white, black, Jewish, East Asians, Arabs, Amerindians and mestizos (mixed) Mexicans. All of them well integrated into our society, we've even had black and indigenous presidents in the past, way before USA.

[@fccl9891]

Yeah there is this big misconception in the USA that all mexicans are the same race and that we all look like Pancho Villa, the problem is that mexican-americans instead of trying to help fix that misconception they fuel the ignorance by claiming all mexicans are all amerindian due to their own ignorance of mexican history and culture. As you say we are as diverse as the USA, maybe even more.

[@alfonsotorres4580]

Luis Carlos Cataño Most Mexican-Americans aren't the brightest, and you're right, they do fuel the ignorance to others.

[@fccl9891]

"US Indigenous" lol, you were born in the US bro, most amerindians in Mexico would not recognize you as one of their own.

[@alfonsotorres4580]

"You don't look Mexican at all, your so white"? The ignorance from the U.S. is astonishing, and baffles me a lot. Do they even realize Mexican is a nationality not a race? It's like saying your white but don't look American, that's just playing rude what they say about you, and the rest of us.😒 My dad is Portuguese, and my mom is Italian, but both of them were born in Mexico. Thank you for clarifying that, guys, both of you are amazing people.❤

[@mcuevas2]

Alfonso Torres you are absolutely correct. Mexican is a nationally NOT a race. Therefore Mexicans can be of any race. However it is very frustaring to arguee this point with Americans who have never left their country. Most Americans are afraid to step out of their comfort zone. The other day someone told me that he went to Mexico city and was surprised to see that they have a subway system. Really people?!!

[@alfonsotorres4580]

M Cuevas It is very annoying, and very frustrating indeed. The Tangerine Travels, The Kennons are very good people from U.S., and should be respected along with other good Americans from our northern neighbors. It's very amazing how people can be so rude, and know very little about other countries, and cultures. Jeez, people need to travel, that's what airlines, cars, and ships are for.

I’m from Guadalajara and most of my family look white. And I mean the blonde hair, red skin, blue or green eyes some hazel. Mexicans come in different shapes and colors and most humans no matter where you’re from. Anyway, Guadalajara has many areas where a lot of foreigners live there’s your Jewish community, Germans, Asians, and of course you have a huge white community especially in Ajijic, Jalisco and Lago de Chápala which is about an hour drive form Guadalajara. And regarding the language or accent not too sure because I believe the Spanish we speak is the same as any Spanish in the world maybe just the accent is different not sure to me it’s the same.

[@Hrotriks]

Yep Guadalajara has a lot of rain, a lot of "white" mexicans , and we do use a lot of slang. Gudalajara has tried to be more recycle friendly , but it always fails , so its down to the households to try to separate trash , although there is a huge recycle business , on the private sector , and hencey why you see some folks diggin trash to find recycable products , mostly PET bottles , aluminium cans and cardboard.

[@TangerineTravels]

Very unfortunate that there's no recycling here, especially since it's such a large city with lots of waste. Makes us kinda sad :( Hopefully it will change someday. We have to take care of our planet.

Sí, de hecho se ha intentado rapetidas veces implementar un sistema de reciclaje en la ciudad, pero el problema es que los Mexicanos no solemos reciclar y mezclamos cualquier tipo de basura, así que cuándo se imprementan terminan siendo un fracaso ya que muy pocas personas lo siguen como debe, actualmente hay un sistema llamado "puntos limpios" que son básicamente botes de basura colocados en espacios públicos dónde se separa la basura y toda ella se recicla o la utilizan para generar electricidad :3 Pero bueno, realmente me halaga que extranjeros hablen tan bien de nuestro país, y más específicamente de mí ciudad natal, Guadalajara :3 solemos pasar por alto todo lo que tenemos y enfocarnos más en lo malo, y una opinión de alguien que no es Mexicanos pues realmente se agradece :3

[@JoyMacias]

I don’t think it’s very polite to answer in English when the question is in Spanish, even if I notice that the person asking it is struggling with the language, I think that if I did answer in English it will make them feel stupid. When I feel that it’s really hard for someone to speak Spanish I often ask if they would appreciate me trying to communicate in English. Occasionally I find out that English is not enough because it turns out that I’m trying to talk to some guy from Finland or Norway who also struggle to speak English.

[@imagesfromLA]

Joy Macias, you nailed it.

[@fernandagomez1260]

Sorry if you or anyone feel that way but the truth is that we don't do it as a sign of disrespect. Compared to the US, where many Americans get offended by people talking other languages rather than english, we Mexicans don't care at all. If people talk other languages apart from spanish, and since many Mexicans speak a second language, if we see someone asking for help and notice that they speak a language we know, we'll usually try to respond to them in their language as a sign of welcoming. Never as a way to make anyone feel stupid. That's not the case.

[@imagesfromLA]

Mexico is just like the U.S. when it comes to foreign language. In some parts of the U.S. Americans don't want to hear other languages, but in some parts of the U.S. Americans don't care if people talk other languages. Mexico is exactly the same way. I personally know of several cases of Americans speaking English in Mexico, and being told by Mexicans to speak Spanish. Whereas in other cases Mexicans don't care what language people are speaking. If I were in Mexico trying to speak Spanish, and a Mexican started speaking to me in English, It's disrespectful. It's like you're saying you don't speak my language good enough for me to even bother with you.

Lol, I had the same Issue the first time i went to Guadalajara and Mexico city with the language. I grew up bilingual so I consider myself fluent in English and Spanish, but between the different cadence and beat and some native words mixed in . I had to ask for things to be repeated or explained. I do notice that people will only speak English if you ask them if they speak English.

[@TangerineTravels]

How interesting! What do you think about the difference between Spanish in GDL vs. CDMX? You’re right about the English thing. We’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because people are patient and try to be respectful of us learning. 😋

[@labota249]

El acento tapatío!

[@tourguide6910]

yeah i think part of it is that they let people try to communicate in spanish first. From my accent ( Being from Tijuana I have the northern accent)the difference is they speak way faster and from GDL to CDMX they are about just as fast but i Hear more of the native words at CDMX.

[@K1k05]

😂 My Dad was Trilingual , he spoke English, Spanish, and Japanese (He grew up in NorCal)and was very good at adjusting his Spanish when we traveled in 🇲🇽 according to locality. I remember him telling me when we were in 'Guadalajara" about differences in the Spanish language and that he was always learning. As for my Mom, well she spoke what we call "Cali Street Spanish" (Lots of slang and mixed English-Spanish words). Dad tried to correct her but gave up, the first time in Guadalajara (lmao) nobody could understand her and she got mad and actually berated this nice Mexican lady for not knowing how to speak Spanish properly, My Dad was so embarrassed that he gave the lady $5 US (At that time, like $50 to her) and apologized. Needless to say, my Mom was a character... 😊 Buen Provecho 8^} 🇲🇽🇺🇸 "My familia is half white, half brown, All proud to be US/Mexican Americans"

[@laloszki]

The western accent or acento occidental from Jalisco is very distinct and it’s marked by the cadence, although we will say that we don’t have an accent, I think we speak with an acento cantadito. CDMX has, I would say, 2 very distinct accents, the upper class called fresa and the lower class accent. Personally I would say that the CDMX accent has almost like a whining tone, it’s also what most people abroad think most Mexicans sound like.

My family lives in Guadalajara, I live in Texas and I have a brother in Phoenix so I understand you. There is European influence in Guadalajara: French an Spanish. Love your videos, thanks

Guadalajara, Guadalajara, tienes alma de provinciana.. hueles a pura rosa temprana, a verde jara fresca del rio, son mil palomas tu caserio.. Guadalajara, Guadalajara hueles a pura tierra mojada!!!.. no soy de Guadalajara, naci Poblana, Veracruzana por padre.. pero me enamore de Guadalajara desde chiquita, principalmente por la cancion, es un poema de amor.. despues me puse a leer y aprender mas de ella .. Puebla y Veracruz no se quedan atras.. cada vez que aprendia algo nuevo, sea Jalisco, Yucatan, ó Aguascalientes, o cualquier otro estado, yo me enamoraba mas de mi México .. pais hermoso, lo llevo en el corazón..

Soy de Guadalajara y sí hay reciclaje. Antes pasaba un carretón de basura para los inorganicos y otros días d ela semana para los orgánicos, la gente separaba sus residuos o no se los llevaban. Ahora hay contenedores especiales por toda la ciudad y una empresa privada en conjunción con el gobierno los recolecta. Los chatarreros son muy comunes y los tianguis o mercadillos de cosas usadas también se ponen por toda la ciudad, incluso en tonalá puedes encontrar artesanías de material reciclado...no entiendo por qué creen que no hay cultura de reciclaje en México. :s Otro punto a aclarar, los “altos de Jalisco” es una zona cercana a Guadalajara donde encuentras muchísimos rubios y de piel muy blanca se cree que es debido a un asentamiento francés . México es muy diverso, no solo en su comida y paisajes, entre más vas al sur la gente aún conserva sus rasgos nativos, más al norte verás el mestizaje muy marcado.

[@loryr4651]

Voy escribiendo conforme veo el video jajaja. Hay muchos parques en mi ciudad, cada colonia mínimo tiene uno, pero se ha tratado de motivar a las personas a caminar más adoquinando calles del centro (haciéndolas solo para caminar sin que entren coches) se le da más difusión a las carreras de 5k, 10k, medios maratones, maratones, ciclovías, eventos gratuitos al rededor de estas de pilates, yoga, baile o juegos para niños. Todo, para aumentar la calidad de vida de los tapatíos

[@loryr4651]

Respecto a las glorietas... tienen que saber que hay reglas, probablemente diferentes en su país, incluso en otros sitios de México no sean iguales. El ignorar el semáforo rojo no es verdad, probablemente acelerar en naranja en vez de pararse sí. Vuelta a la derecha continua con precaución es permitido, los que van en la glorieta llevan preferencia, por eso pasan primero y luego puedes integrarte. Etcétera. Por desgracia, sí se maneja a la defensiva y te asombraría saber que no hay tantos choques como debería por ser una ciudad tan grande. Sólo sabemos en donde sí y en donde no manejar a la defensiva. Ahora, Guadalajara no es tan grande, lo que pasa es que ya se unió con Zapopan, Tlaquepaque y Tonalá, que son municipios que la circundan y no te das cuenta siquiera cuando estás en un municipio y otro. Guadalajara Ya quedó atrapada entre estas otras ciudades y generalmente le llaman Guadalajara a toda la mancha urbana. En otro tema, ¿sabían que tenemos un bosque dentro de la ciudad? “Los Colomos”, ¿conocieron el parque mtreopolitano? Creo que para conocer bien México, deberían tener un amigo que les enseñe no solo lo turístico, hay muchos sitios, comida y costumbres realmente valiosas que se pierden los extranjeros por solo visitar los lugares más concurridos.

[@mrmr7144]

My family and I will be in Guadalajara the first week of August. I hope I run into you guys so I can give you a huge hug. I love your videos.

[@maureencohen379]

Loving your videos! Keep ‘em coming. Have a great weekend, 😊

[@dani31tellez]

El gobierno ha tratado de implementar sistemas de reciclaje muchas veces, pero los habitantes se resisten a este cambio. Esa es la triste realidad del pueblo mexicano, siempre va a ser más fácil tirar la basura en la calle que separarla en botes y esa tambien es la principal causa de las inundaciones, no necesariamente las lluvias torrenciales.

[@peace1544]

Daniel Tellez pues que mal. en queretaro si resiclan. que tal es Guadalajara para vivir? te gusta, es segura, barata?

[@oswaldogomez6366]

Lo que pasa es que no ha sido suficiente y bien planeado los proyectos de reciclaje.

[@Olawalium]

So good to finally see you guys up and about. Glad you feel stronger and better to make this video guys. This speaks a lot about you guys. Always proud of you. Yes, it happens here too. You hear the rain coming before it actually starts raining. Also, it might be raining across the street but it would gradually be coming closer till it gets to you. Don't be surprised when you see rain from afar and where you are is actually dry. Hahaha. I have seen that a lot. Pretty crazy, right? The Sunday walk surprised me too and i am fascinated by that idea.

[@ejavierpa]

¿No festejan Uds. la lluvia? eso me entristece

[@luisisaak]

its nice that you guys enjoy our city, and that you said its a excellent city, welcome and we hope you came often to visit us here! and hope you have a lot of fun here!

[@lestarld]

Casi al final del vídeo se les fue haciendo cada vez más chiquita la banqueta jajaja (otra de las tantas cosas que pasan en Guadalajara).

[@juans6639]

My most recent visit to Mexico City, Guadalajara and San Luís Potosí was in 2009 and 2014. Many parts of those cities look like Colonial Spain (for a reason) Had a wonderful time. Life is so relaxed and it feels like you are in Europe (Old) not the present state. Mexico has so much history and things to see (Pyramids, Maximillian and Carlotta's Castle, Museums where the Aztec Calendar is located) etc.etc. Great Video.

[@qualqui]

LOL and as I watch this video, today July 3rd it also started raining here(we had a break from the rain Sunday and Monday), that's GREAT more rain means plenty of elotes for our elote addiction,....hehehe...yes they have a distinct accent, the bread from which tortas is made we call it 'bolillo' while in Jalisco they call it 'birote' and various other words that can be confusing even from Mexicans from other states. LMAO you talk about so many vegan and vegetarian eateries and at this moment you're at KarnesensuJugo! But yeah, that food is AWESOME as well, those breakfast plates were also very NICE! :D

[@luis_zuniga]

Joe Serrano here in Tampico we call the 'bolillo' “Pan francés”, the reason why we call them like that its, according to the popular story, because during the French occupation of the city, corn was hard to find, and bread like baguette, were too expensive so, the French army created a smaller, cheaper version of the baguette and started giving them to the city’s inhabitants. All of this with the idea of gaining public support for the 2nd empire. With time we started calling this bread 'pan francés'.

[@qualqui]

Luis Zúñiga, A most interesting story ya share here, I had the idea that Northern Mexico preferred bread and wheat flour tortillas, it wasn't 'til post revolution(with Tata Lázaro?)that corn was introduced there. A friend of my mom from Tampico showed her how to make a very good wheat flour tortilla while my parents were up north. Who would have thought the Pan Francés makes an AWESOME Torta and fried guajalotes(pambazos in CDMX)and recently found out, makes a GOOD Bolillo French Toast!! ;)

[@luis_zuniga]

Joe Serrano well Tampico its located at the "border" that divides north and south Mexico, I mean you cross the river and you'll find yourself in Veracruz, a southern state; that could explain why we had access to corn before other parts of northern Mexico.

[@ciza29]

I am thinking of retiring to Mexico with my dog. Would you recommend Guadalajara or Guanajuato? She loves to go for walks.

[@TheOctavio3]

No se sorprendan. Si hay mucha gente blanca o como nosotros les decimos "güera", también hablamos inglés y no somos tan progresistas como parecemos. Fingimos separar la basura, las glorietas también son un problema para nosotros y no siempre está tan padre cuando llueve así. Pero sí siempre llueve así. Translate it! Come back soon

[@hectotbuz1353]

It was quite funny to see ya guys , I live in Guadalajara and nothing was really a surprise as you said but I love your videos so much

[@carolbautista300]

Some of the best architects come from Mexico 🇲🇽😊

[@opheliavalentine6058]

Carol Bautista I think the buildings in Zapopan were designed and built by European Architects and Engineering companies or something like that. Or maybe it was just a partnership.

[@carolbautista300]

I was giving a general statement not specific to that area of Mexico.

[@opheliavalentine6058]

Carol Bautista Ok. :)

[@parlormusic1885]

I grew up in Nebraska, and watching the rain come toward you is a fairly common event as are thunderstorms and hail. But, the storms in central Mexico are much more intense. I thought I knew what thunderstorms were until I was in Belize in the early rainy season. Man, they have thunderstorms!

[@MISSYEYALOVESU]

You guys should go hike on the barranca de huentitan! I go to school near there and it’s such an amazing view 👍🏻 you can take the macro to the last stop in huentitan

[@Oracol]

MissYeya I also suggest this. I haven't been in years, but it's a cool place to hike and explore.

[@fborja]

only if they wanna end up in a body bag.

[@alecarranza3830]

MrRicard1325 that's a harsh stereotype and you aren't really helping with this information , they can be there without worrying about "narcos" ...

[@marcorios2811]

Yo soy de Guadalajara y porfavor no se sientan mal por su español la gente de Guadalajara ablamos muy rápido . después ustedes ya seban acostumbrar ablaron rápido . saludos muy Nice su video chicos

[@smmx9250]

Si pero no todos tenemos tan mala ortografia.

[@armandocalbe9114]

Have you gone to Bosque La Primavera?

[@charlieeagler7639]

I keep telling people about how different is the rain here in USA and in Mexico. Right there in Mexico, we can actually hear, smell (maybe not in the city, but in open land, you can smell the wet soil aroma when there is some wind) and see the rain coming.... Many times I had to run fast to avoid getting a shower (literally a shower). Really? you have a mexican background? ...anyway in Guadalajara and all around the whole state there are many mexican blue eyed gueros. Great video.

[@opheliavalentine6058]

Charlie Eagler It’s More noticeable in the country side but the reason it’s so amazing in GDL is because the Guadalajara area is smaller compared to other cities in the world which makes it easier for rain to enter the city. Cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix are so big that they create a heat island effect which causes heat to be trapped in the city and it makes it less likely for rain to enter the cities. Rain clouds literally go around the cities and it’s a huge problem that many U.S. and other large cities are facing.

[@AlbertoMarat]

The rains here in Guadalajara ALWAYS make me cry when i was a kid.

[@MrFalko0n]

Guadalajara es conocidad como la perla del occidente pero tambien como lo dice su cancion de Mariachi hueles a pura tierra mojada, no es por nada que se dice, en guadalajara el clima puede ser cambiante pero es algo a lo que se acostumbra.

[@peace1544]

MrFalko0n es tranquila la ciudad para vivir? es cara?

[@liakozlova2613]

PEACE 1 Realmente es una ciudad muy acogedora y muy verde. Su centro histórico me dejó con el ojo cuadrado la primera vez que la vi, sus restaurantes con comida muy deliciosa ni se diga su tequila, a pesar de mi corta edad para mi es casi inevitable probar un poco. Puerto Vallarta es mi lugar favorito para las vacaciones de verano. Soy de Dubná (Ciudad en Rusia) desde que tengo 6 años mis padres se mudaron a Guadalajara y cada vez que tenemos que salir de la ciudad extraño mis amigas tapatías y las calles... Como Guadalajara no hay dos o mejor dicho JALISCO. ¡Viva Mexico! ¡живая текила и водка! 🍻✨

[@jon123etc]

One thing I noticed as you were walking through the mall -- Sanborn's buffet is 190 pesos. Here in Cancun it's 245 pesos. I've also noticed that the quality of Sanborn's buffets varies throughout Mexico - it really depends on each restaurant.

[@TangerineTravels]

How interesting... we'd never heard that before! We haven't eaten there yet. Should we?

We would find it fascinating to see foreigners pointing out things like this in our familiar city as well. 😜

[@expressveloz5915]

I'm not Mexican but I've been to Guadalajara and it's one of my favorite places. Love what you're doing--which is expanding people's horizons. Guadalajara looks modern, clean, safe and even cool. Makes me want to retire and join you guys!

That's exactly what we think of Guadalajara! It's a wonderful city :)

[@edgarbarajas3643]

I love the rain ! I’m from GDL btw :* U guys should subscribe to tráfico zmg in Facebook to find out everything that is going on in gdl at the moment ... just like the downpours areas to avoid if anything is happening around

[@drillmusicordie2465]

Edgar Barajas youre crazy..that damn page is full of crime lol.

[@edgarbarajas3643]

drillmusicordie yes. So u can avoid the area if something is happening around. And it is mostly accidents btw.

[@drillmusicordie2465]

Edgar Barajas if you say so.

[@viajealaexpansion]

Good advice bro

[@enriquegomezrodriguez4951]

Whats the name of the mall you guys are at?

[@oscarrimore]

So are you really Mexican Maddie??? Wow I kinda always knew it, something about you that gave me that feel, can’t really tell what tho but it seemed right to me when you said you were actually Mexican! Maybe because your face and features (nose, smile shape of your eyes) remind me of an Ex girlfriend who also happened to be Blonde with blue eyes and yes 100% mexican. So what’s your background ? Last name? Place of origin? Thats interesting!! Greetings from Monterrey

[@martilomas5330]

She is not 100% Mexican... Only 25% I guess.

[@oscarrimore]

I never said she was, I said my ex girlfriend who she reminds me of is, also whether you are 25% mexican or 80% mexican or 0.9999% Mexican you can call yourself mexican, when you have a mexican parent you are granted mexican citizenship automatically. I was just curious about what she said on the video

[@yoshiakik.5332]

Pretty sure she said most of her family is Mexican in the video. That would suggest over 50 percent.

[@cyndikehrli8389]

I just found your videos today ! My Grandmother was born in Tequila , so I am planning to go there and check it out. Thank you for the great tips. In your opinions, would it be safe for a woman traveling alone ?

[@TangerineTravels]

Most places in Mexico are perfectly safe for travelers. There are some cities/areas to be wary of like any place in the world, but basically using your common sense can keep you out of trouble. Hope this helps!

[@Renton0]

Mexico has the Spanish mix from when they went to Mexico. Some got busy with our women and Behold there came Mexicans with Blonde hair and Blue or Green Eyes. Not all Mexicans are 5'1 and brown. 😂 Yeah there's different slangs and variations of Spanish spoken through out Mexico. In central Mexico they called Soda "Refresco"...and in places like Baja California they say "soda". Similar to how in The west coast we say "soda" and in the east they say "Pop"

[@leonardoiii165]

Lo que más me da risa de estos comentarios que pretenden desmentir que no todos los mexicanos son prietos y chaparros es que quien lo dice por lo general es precisamente moreno y no pasa del 1.60.

[@Renton0]

roberto mateos Desmentir? No digas jaladas. Dije que tambien Hay Mexicanos Blancos con ojos azules o verdes gracias a los Españoles. En algun momento desmenti algo? No chingues. Yo mido 6 pies 😉

[@leonardoiii165]

Jjajajaj tranquilo, no te enojes, mi punto es que hay cosas realmente ofensivas que se dicen de los mexicanos y nadie se preocupa por aclararlo, pero cuando alguien se atreve a decir que todos los mexicanos son morenos entonces sí salen muchos ofendidos, como si ser moreno fuera algo malo.

[@Renton0]

roberto mateos Yo no me ofendo de Ser Mexicano. Y la gente que lo hace pues que pena. Lo que Maddie Decia es que a ella le Decian que no parecia que estaba Mixta con rasa Mexicana. Que se miraba mas guera. Pero su comentario no me ofendio asi soy de Mal Hablado. 😂

[@alexcorralgarcia]

Northern Mexico and Guadalajara have the majority of Mexicans of predominantly european descent since in the colonial era, the Spanish and French moved to northern areas and there weren’t really many natives there, creating a castizo phenotype( mixture of majority european and small amount of native)

[@ubalde72]

Love your videos amigos, saludos desde Puebla! 😊

[@Andrea-qx9vg]

Im from Jalisco and on Tuesday/Friday mornings we leave the garbage outside of our house and a garbage truck will pick it up. And on Tuesday/Friday afternoons we take out the recycled and plant based things just as banana peels and grass. And a recycle truck will pick up the recycling items and right behind it the plant based truck will pick up the trash. So while they drive around the neighborhood they will play a calling or song on repeat. Almost like an ice cream truck. This will tell let you know to take out your waste. If you won’t be home around trash pick up. You can just leave it out before it’s time.

[@brbopo]

I like the walking and talking videos.
