Jordan, do they sell Iberogast at a place like Similares or is it specialist pharmacies?

[@TangerineTravels]

The last two times we bought it, we were at Farmacias del Ahorro and at a grocery store pharmacy.

Do you know what the name of that tune is at the beginning of the video?

I grew up in England, and a lot of the etiquettes you mentioned are just common courtesy, and good old fashioned manners, although these days they seem thin on the ground! I was in Mexico a few years ago, and I appreciated how polite and well mannered the people were. - Beautiful country too! 💫

I always carry Treda with me for emergencies, especially when travelling. It has come in handy in the past.

[@RickFidelisReed]

I was in Monterrey last December and needed medicine. They told me I needed a prescription. I told them I didn't have a doctor. She took me by the hand through the door and down the side walk. Next door was a doctor's office. For a few dollars and minutes I had the script. What an Awesome Experience!

[@BrayanCalvilloPerez]

Farmacias Similares are around all the Mty city and they can make u a prescription in a couple seconds, hope u had a good time here!

[@RickFidelisReed]

@@BrayanCalvilloPerez thank you. I look forward to visiting again.

So cool seeing you guys as MARRIED! I'm also part of couple from two different cultures and love the differences we both experienced. If youtube had been around at the time, it would have made for some interesting content. Thanks for making this one.

# 10--Note from an American Doctor--Most Tourists with Montezuma's revenge ( tourists' diarrhea) also have history of Excessive Alcohol & Sun. Both these element cause dehydration & increase risk of sudden onset diarrhea and/or vomiting. My Rx is : limit alcohol,& excessive sun. Also while this is an interesting video, I suspect men just stare at Maya's sweater.

[@jj-bp3fr]

It's not a sweater, its a low cut fitted shirt. 😂 The alcohol and digestion info is great! Thanks.

[@JimPippin-wc7fq]

Maya would be beautiful even dressed in burlap and I would still look at her.

[@thesilvermasksaint]

Beautiful couple!

[@iFilmSmart]

This is all not necessarily true. I'm from Guadalajara, Mx. and Most of these "NO-NO's" are personal or depending on what part of Mexico you're from. But this should not be generalized for ALL of Mexico.

[@Mario_N64]

It also depends on socioeconomic strata.

[@SD-gm4iy]

That happens everywhere I got food poisoning here in USA Not street food in a fine dining restaurant I felt like I was dying

[@ERICMANCHESTER]

12:38. What do they think the restaurant will say?? No this isn't safe to eat?"😂

[@JoseLopez-um9yb]

Jordan got a upgrade 😂

[@kevinmccoy9210]

Wow, when you pull your hair back like you have here, it opens up your gorgeous eyes and that color orange on you is amazing. Perfect for Tangerine Travels. I was going to come to Mexico to find the most beautiful woman. But now you got married, what a lucky guy. Now i have to find another country to travel too. Good luck you guys.

[@dianagarza7412]

In Colombia also the way some cities control so much traffic is by plate. Even numbers are allowed to drive certain days and odd numbers other days. It works well. Si if your car has an odd number and you are in an even number you have to rather ride a bus or ride with a friend. We should try that here in the big cities if USA

[@patrickahearn3256]

I have lived in Puerto Vallarta eleven years full time. Every time I go back to San Diego for a visit, I get an upset stomach. When I do go back I make a mental note to be very very careful of what I eat. I have never had food poisoning here. Saludos

[@calvinlocke9327]

Hi Jordan and May! We have been enjoying your KZbin channel for a couple of years now. We are a couple from Alberta Canada and will be getting residency in Mexico soon. We are looking at Queretaro, Lake Chapala and Guadalajara to settle in. I would be curious if you could share any comparisons you can provide between each area? Thank you in advance!

[@curtismansell5254]

The only words I know associated to that first tune from growing up in the US is, "Shave and a haircut...two bits!"

[@MariaAcevedo-t5y]

That in trusting 😅

[@ezsand0077]

I haven’t seen Treda since I was a kid. My mom always had it in her purse 👛

[@TangerineTravels]

In Mexico they sell it everywhere. Pretty much every convenience store, grocery store, or pharmacy

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

Such good advise. As a diabetic i should have asked what was used to sweeten the ice tea i was drining in Mexicaly. It was so good flavored with lime. I had a few cups worth. Boy did i ever have a good case of MR. The good part was i made it home to Palm Springs CA before it hit. I guess what im trying to say is they use real cane sugar in Mexico whereas we in the US usually use corn sugar.

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

Sorry. High fructose. If your a diet coke drinker, in Mexico it's called COCA LIGHT.

[@ashleyr3103]

Wait whats wrong with the agua frescas 😅 its not fresh?

[@allenminer6244]

Talk about stupid. The #1 thing you described was a ditty, by an American that said, "shave and a haircut, two bits". 25cents(two bits). Wow!

[@TangerineTravels]

Yes, that's what it means in the US and it's totally innocent. In Mexico, on the other hand, it's associated with a very bad phrase.

[@allenminer6244]

Thanks, you guys are great! Good luck with everything!

I guess by driving a car when you knew it was not viable after 11am then you paid a bribe that was likely less than the actual infraction. Just take the bus next time.

Mai is spot on about regulations regarding your plate and certain hours and or days you cannot be on the road. Your car will be impounded and the experience will set you back, like $1k, plus whatever is missing from the vehicle.

Mexico: Saying yes with the index finger( El Chavo del ocho is where i learned this "Si" sign) is similar than saying yes in American Sign Language done with the fist but with the same movement. Saludos!

Thank you Jordan and May as always very informative video and also fun to watch. Dear friends I have not related question, and already desperate to find an answer (also I don't speak Spanish yet. I am working in IT related field and have travel to Mexico with 2 laptops. So, I know there is a law - 1 laptop per person when you enter to Mexico. And last time I was forced to pay taxes ($100) for the one laptop (they didn't put any laptop info on the receipt). This month I need to go back to Canada and month after to return to Mexico with all the same 2 laptops. Is there any way to contact customs or something to do to make sure that they know that I carry those laptops from Mexico out and in?

[@sarahmanning525]

I just bring charcoal capsules incase of food poisoning/ stomach distress. I had severe stomach cramps due to eating bad food and after taking 2 of these my symptoms vanished within 20 min. This supplement absorbs toxins in your stomach/intestines and then are expelled when you poo. For me it's the only thing I use for this problem. It's good to share, thank you for your input on Mexico life and I look forward to seeing your videos.

[@Lizz7711]

Yes! I always travel with activated charcoal capsules.

[@Shannonmari]

Congrats on your marriage!! :) I must say, we never had issues with the seafood in San Miguel de Allende, nor in Queretero, when we would travel there, because I think of the health agencies in those cities are pretty strict with the restaurants. But yeahh, honestly, I never ate the street food--didn't trust that! ;) But I never got sick when I lived there, not from the food! :D

[@TangerineTravels]

Thank you! I don't think I've had issues with seafood inland either. With that said, if you're not by the coast, it's probably not going to be as fresh as in a coastal city.

[@Mario_N64]

Seafood on the street is indeed a gamble.

TVIP: I have ridden my motorcycle in every state in Mexico and over the 30 years over 100,000km. I have been stopped by countless polica at all levels. I have been searched (I mean really searched) at military check points, I have paid many thousands of pesos in "fines". I have never been asked for a TVIP. I used to get this document, but I have not in 10 years. You also fail to mention that you have to return this document to get your deposit back. G*d help you if you lose the giant sticker or otherwise fail to return it.

[@Inv123]

Wait--what did the song translate to?

[@moisilence]

What is that tune called? Or does it not have a name?

[@801oap]

In the U.S. it's "Shave and a haircut...two bits." But in Mexico the tune is associated with a meaning that is completely different and offensive.

[@moisilence]

@801oap thank you! Also, do you know the meaning or why it offends people? It's ok if you don't/ just curious.

[@801oap]

​@@moisilenceaccording to Google search it means "f**k your mother, a**hole" along with Spanish translation which I will not put here.

[@robertl2227]

I was very distracted. Can you please repeat!

[@garychiang2568]

Pro tip, in Taiwan the agreeing fingers means “died”. Taiwanese people are very superstitious so they don’t like to verbal say “death/dead”. So instead they will use the agreeing finger instead. Love these cultural differences. Very fun!

[@peterv.276]

yes, first way on a road trip in mexico is to a farmacia ...just because it's better to have this things ...after having bought this the next stop is on a taco restaurant (or cemita in puebla)
