Exploring MEXICO CITY'S GAYBORHOOD 🏳️‍🌈 - La Zona Rosa 🇲🇽 - VERY GAY CONTENT | Mexico travel vlog

omg I am Mexican and I did not know the trick of the bills that the man of the tamales gave you haha ​​enjoy CDMX ❤️

[@Lilhajxjk274]

Hello fellow pepe

[@joshnosher3536]

The wonderful man @5:51 was really looking out for you! God, I love Mexico and its people. So genuine and generous to foreign visitors. ❤❤

[@omar9268]

the guy with the tamales is so right ! also speak up if you think somethings too expensive because they like to up the prices when they know you’re a tourist

[@pilarpino2973]

When they do that price gauging is usually not by a lot. Maybe a few cents or a dollar. But when you travel a lot, you get used to this. So why care for a few cents? Can't be that greedy when you travel. Especially with street vendors and during a pandemic. We pay more to the top corporations, and to taxes. No one complains or questions the cost of an i phone, for example. Most of those components are cheap, made of hazardous materials, and with cheap slave labor.

[@omar9268]

@@pilarpino2973 yeah although vendors usually make good money in busy spots compared to the average salary in mexico , it doesn’t hurt to give them a few extra cents but it does add up and you shouldn’t take advantage of tourists

[@pilarpino2973]

@@omar9268 True. At the end they end up with a bad reputation. They were recorded and tourist are going to avoid buying from them.

[@shanalynch154]

Puerto Vallarta is LGQBTQ+ friendly area known as Zona Romántica. It is extremely safe. I am a single, woman and felt very comfortable in the area. You need to check it out one day. Thank you for this update. I am staying in this area tomorrow.

[@fourthdeconstruction]

Quick fact Polanco is a medium high income neighborhood. No the richest in CDMX. They are at least 4 zones richer than Polanco but none of them are designed for tourist to see. In fact, in those zones it'd be very likely that police will stop you just for walking with your camera. Similar zones are found throughout Mexico. They are very hidden from tourist and most of the population.

[@saratemp790]

Where are they? Tell us.

[@aggbarquitectos9409]

​@@saratemp790A lot of rich people in Mexico still prefer to live a suburban life or gated communities in some of these neighbourhoods: Condado de Sayavedra, Bosque de las Palmas, Villa Verdun, Valle Escondido, Lomas de Vistahermosa, Lomas de Chapultepec, Bosques de las Lomas, Lomas Virreyes, Tlalpuente, Fuentes del Pedregal, Bosque Real, Club de Golf Bosques, Bosques de Santa Fé, Jardines del Pedregal, Jardines en la Montaña, Chimalistac, San Ángel, Del Carmen Coyoacán

[@hivolco151]

Although I have a half dozen or more family members who are "out" openly gay, I don't give it much thought, they are typically more Artistic and fun to hang around that some of the others, I am wondering if (although this video didn't explore the more ARTISTIC stuff), if this zone has perhaps more unusual ART? there is very humorous Mexican ART I like your adventurous spirit ... Keep the videos rolling. It doesn't hurt to be outside the comfort zone , especially if it gives us a better understanding of this human race.

[@michaellivingston501]

First time viewer, enjoyed your points of view as you keep your dialogue very positive. As for the money issues, they happen all over and what I have found is if an error is made, it’s immediately rectified with an apology. Keep up the good work.

The 2 guys at the esquite place where the woman shortchanged you sure seemed to be focused on you. One even reached down and scratched his "unit". I notice you still have the nails, appropriate for where you are. Liked this video.

[@colibritravel5994]

thanks! Yeah, I noticed that too though I think the wang touching was more of a macho thing, dunno, that's the vibe I was getting

[@stevekollen1672]

@@colibritravel5994 You never know. The staring wasn't just casual though.

[@SmearedBlackInk2003]

He looked jealous about him chatting up the girl with the ezquite facts. He even scoffed at it before noticing he was being filmed. Kinda rude, but he's probably into that girl that's his neighbor. LOL.

[@oscardelapena7376]

Yes, it was a "territorial macho" thing, 😂 lame... And yes, she shortchanged you and charged you 10 pesos more, I'm from Guadalajara, but been living in Mexico City for about 9 years and street esquites are no more than $20 pesos 😬, hate when they do that... "te turistearon" that's how we say it. And it happens all over the country, the first time I came to Mexico city as national tourist from GDL they did the same to me in Xochimilco. These street vendors know their public and targets. My recommendation, it's more of cultural phenomena amongst street vendors in the entire country, instead of asking for the product you ask first the cost, like if you are going to negotiate. ¿Cuanto cuesta? "how much?".. Intead of... ¿me da uno por favor? "Can I have one?".... One, you got them off guard to answer you and two, you will know the costs when you look around in the future ... Be safe! And welcome 🇲🇽

Another enjoyable video - thank you! I cannot remember the name of the gay bar we walked past, about a block off Reforma. It was karaoke happy hour (after work). We stopped and looked in the window. It was a packed sing along fiesta! The guys inside were waving me in. That was my big chance to share my talent(s) with the world. Sadly, my wife said no.

WOW, that man the sales man who sold those Tamales and he explained to you about those 100 pesos bills wow, what a honest and beautiful man. It gets to show here again how beautiful 99 % of Mexican people are. I had to say 99% since he said that yes, there is some bad people who do take advantage of ok some local people but foreign people most. Again, people who see this and are around there please go and buy mucho Tamales from this beautiful honest man...............he needs the dineros I'm sure. TCB.

Hey quick question. I'm planning a trip and will be staying in CDMX mid May. Are the gay bars open? Can you enjoy a cocktail indoors? Are there any drag shows performing? I watched your video and I didn't see you actually inside any of the gay bars. Its been so hard to find real-time info about these things..I'd appreciate your input. Thanks :)

[@miguelidcomm]

The guy who sells tamales is really nice. His advice made me think. Nice place, Zona Rosa. So, so far, would you say you like Mexico City better than Guadalajara? One thing that scares me about CDMX (never been there) is the traffic/having trouble getting to places (like work) and the earthquakes (I’ve heard they have plenty of those). But sometimes I think I overreact. All the same, Mexico City is amazing.

[@colibritravel5994]

The big downside for me is all the bs with my car and getting that in order. There are apparently rules and regulations unique to cdmx, but all the officials seems to have a different take on it, it might be something that I'll just have to take as it come. I don't know if I can say I like cdmx better than gdl so far but I've really liked it a lot!

[@Vancouver_Dan]

I prefer CDMX. The colonial buildings in GDL are brown and a bit drab whereas there is a lot of colour and grand architecture in Mexico City. CDMX is also much more walkable - with many areas filled with cool restaurants and hipster coffee shops. Plus - my understanding is that CDMX is second only to London in the number of museums and galleries.

[@miguelidcomm]

@@Vancouver_Dan I don’t know about Mexico City, but the Guadalajara government doesn’t seem to do a good job helping preserve all colonial buildings (or any other old structures for that matter). Even in downtown, you see a lot of newer structures that are focused on business and not on art/tourism. In CDMX, I see (or at least I notice from a distance) that there’s more “preservation” there. There’s more to see in their historic center (and that’s not necessarily because of the city being a larger city or the country’s capital). Such a shame, with Jalisco being beautiful in many other ways.

[@rogescamilla9871]

Nice video;) I suggest to you yo read the book called: " el vampiro de la colonia Roma" seriously Is the story about one gay guy living in México city around 60's or 70's Is an amazing story about the gay life , in english you can find as: Adonis García a picaresque novel

I have never checked my change in Mexico....gringo tax. The last 2 neighbourhoods I stayed in were between La Reforma and Baldarass near the station and tourist Market. And 4 or 5 blocks behind the Cathedral where I was advised not to go further. Both edgier places.

[@colibritravel5994]

I'm still a bit undecided on going to Tepito, the "most dangerous neighborhood in cdmx". On one hand it's mostly counterfeit and stolen goods, drugs and prostitution, all of which I'm not interested in. And it's dangerous. On the other hand, those videos tend to do better. What's a struggling youtuber to do?

[@geraldlumbis9034]

You could try the 2 areas I suggest. I think they look more urban than dangerous. Baldaras looks like it will be gentrified soon because of its location. It's just great to see your videos because we won't be travelling any time soon.
