I'd Rather Live in Mexico Than the US (#18)

[@SabbaticalTommy]

I'll be back Mexico! This video was the least I could do to express how great this country is. Forget the haters who just talk about cartels and illegal immigration. They've never heard of mezcal, tortas ahogadas, or chapulines (ok that last one is an acquired taste). They've never seen the beauty of Jalisco, la Huasteca, or Veracruz. Give the next gringo you see a shot of mezcal and some zacahuiles, and maybe that'll change. Tal vez. For now I'm on my way to a country that's very different and very far away, after a brief stop back in New York. If you've followed the journey of this random guy who popped up on your KZbin feed until now, I hope you'll stick around for the next country(s) as well. Let's keep going - to where KZbin has never gone before. Vamos cabrones!

[@KaiSan3]

If you ever go back to Mexico again, I'd love to see more of your interactions in nahuatl 👍🏼 And the little 'rincones' that still preserve the old ways and culture. I liked that a lot on your videos.

[@kaycee5475]

@@KaiSan3 I had some pretty amazing interactions with Hucholes, in the state of Jalisco. They live in tribes and hold a unique culture alongside of the Jalisquence traditions. Huichol music is pretty awesome and I learned some of their unique language usage though the songs. Very amazing intresting people!

I lived in Veracruz state in Mexico for 5 years and one thing I enjoyed about Mexican cities is the walkability, even in the suburbs. I wish places in the US was like this. Everything you want to do is close by instead of driving 10 miles to go to a 10 acre store.

[@arturojimenez7087]

The use of public space is something that differs from the U.S. In the United States, public activities revolve around shopping and consumption. And you drive everywhere. Cities are not made for walking. And of course, you have to pay for everything. Everything is transactional. I lived for many years in the U.S. since I was ten and never felt at home. One has define one's life in terms that are not always materialistic. I sincerely could never adapt to the culture, and I moved back to Mexico at 50.

[@Gmx92]

I wish more people complained about the city design, it is one of the worst things about the United States

[@agomez7747]

Good afternoon, I’m gland you hear that. Mexico is very rich in his culture, tradition and food. His history is very sad. But also very heroic.

[@kaycee5475]

I know what you mean. I felt the same way when I left Mexico after living there for a year. The crime rate is not too bad in smaller towns and people are very humble and nice. You feel the heaviness when you step back into the US that really differs from the Mexican culture.

[@kaycee5475]

[@ufc990]

Idk man, we have a ton of problems with crime in rural areas as well. You probably won't have issues if you're visiting, maybe just have to pay a bribe to the police which is cheap for westerners. But when you live here a while and have a lot of family and friends, alot of people you know end up getting kidnapped and killed, those bribes begin to add up when you live here and your pesos dont go as far as dollars. We have many good things but the cartels and the politicians and government officials that work with them make life difficult and it effects most of us. I cant go more than a year without hearing so and so was kidnapped and they're extorting the family for money, than a month later they find the body and find out he was dead before they even called to ask for the money to free him. Desperate old people dont know what else to do and get caught crossing the border with pounds of drugs in their cars, all to try to make a little money. The cartels are the worst part of mexico.

[@Rob_430]

My last few months in the U.S. Military, I met a guy who was Mexican American and we became good friends. Such good friends that when I got discharged he was going on leave the same time, I drove home from NC and he came with me to stay a few days at my home. I was done but he had another tour, in Viet Nam. We wrote to each other, and I’ll never forget him. He was of Mexican descent and I’m of Italian descent. Same values!

[@christianmcclure8693]

i found your channel after trying to learn more about my Mexica heritage (im 80% mesoamerican) since ive always felt disconnected from being labeled as hispanic or latino and not feeling like thats what i was. i have black coarse curly hair and dont look like most mexican americans. my mom doesnt know who her dad is so we always wondered if there was a middle eastern or native american or Indian side since i could pass as all 3 of those. and after doing a dna test i found out im 80% mesoamerican and the other 20% being various european countries with 10% percent north african and middle eastern. ive always know mexicans are descendants of the aztecs and spanish colonizers but never thought too much about the language they spoke before the spanish arrived since spanish is so imbedded into modern mexico. after finding out nahuatl is the native language of my ancestors ive been trying to learn more and more and discovered your videos about the language and really enjoyed all the videos youve inspired me to visit mexico and really helped with me finding my cultural identity ive struggled with all my life. i hope you continue with this channel youve earned my subscription.

[@SabbaticalTommy]

That's really interesting man. I'm glad I could share just a little bit of what life is like in the Nahuatl speaking lands, which are my favorite part of the whole country.

That was the most beautiful video of yours that I have watched. I was smiling from start to finish. My wife and I lived in wonderful Mexico for 3 years travelling in our boat. You were spot on when you said "it's the people". I'm Canadian and feel the same about the different mind set between Canada and Mexico. They were such an example for us in our 60's, that when we came back, we moved to a remote island with only 600 people off the west coast. It's a bit like Mexico here, but with a few more rules and rain. We love it here now, living on land after a decade of roaming, but still have a bit of that colourful way of living which we learned down there. Hopefully, their tourist economy will persevere during these crazy times. Peace, from Canada.

If you have money, speak Spanish, get to choose where you live and have street smarts, then Mexico is a great place to live where your money goes twice as far as in the US.

Hermano, buenos videos, yo vivo en Toronto pero soy de Leon, Mexico, te recomiendo que la proxima vez que vayas a Mexico visites el estado de Guanajuato, la cuna de la independencia con muchísima historia e increíble arquitectura pero con su gastronomía buenísima como en todo el país y con Mexicanos que te tratarán como lo han hecho hasta ahora, también el estado de San Luis y Queretaro que todos estos están en el centro del país, anyway, I know you would love those places as much as you enjoyed the others you've been already, like you said, you can spend years exploring Mexico and never finish. Stay safe.

I honestly very much appreciate and love the way you express yourself in general! Awesome playlist! I wish you many blessings in your life! Viva Mexico Cabrones!

I totally agree my brother and then I'd also rather live in Malaysia than America
