Ray, your commentary was so spot on! I couldn’t have stated it any better. I moved to Guanajuato three months ago- also sight unseen, but having watched every KZbin video about it that was out there. I have lived in five different countries, and I can say unequivocally that the people here are the kindest, most respectful and nicest people I have ever come across. I have a significantly fuller social life here than I ever had in the states- there is an unending amount of things to do and discover; festivals of some kind almost every weekend! I really appreciate your remark that if one can’t embrace the culture and differences, they should leave. Sadly, I have met a couple of American expats here who whinge on about how things aren’t how they are in the states. I would never say it aloud to them, but you know what I was thinking…

Very cool video, interesting perspectives on relocating to a new land, and Ray's positive approach to assimilating and integrating into his new surroundings is exactly the correct one. If only all travelers (temporary tourists or permanent residents) carried a similar mindset.

[@hectorraigosa7149]

@ShapeForcesTheMind it's not new territory, it's the North American continent which spans from Canada to Panama or possibly to Brazil.. anyhow, the way to look at it is that the dialects spoken throughout the continent are indigenous to the continent as well as people values being family oriented. English, French, and so on are European. Which also includes not having that tight family values.

It’s not the most the “most beautiful” place in Mexico but it seemed to me (after only a few days) to be an intriguing place with a lot of depth. You’re right about the tunnels - such a unique and intriguing aspect along with the hills, steps and alleys. I’d say everyone should see it and explore if it’s right for them.

My father is from Marfa, Texas and was brought up during the depression. My friends and I went to Mexico City first and to Guanajuato and the last trip was Guadalajara, Mexico. I just flew back from Guadalajara back in March of 2024. OMG! Guadalajara grew so much. I could not believe all the High-Rise buildings there now. It always had so much Greenery back then and I loved it. I was looking at Condo's and House's there now and they are very Modern and beautiful, and the pools are magnificent. Now I would tell my father what poor people. My Niece went to Guadalajara back in February 2024 with her boyfriend who has family there. That was her first time in Mexico, and she loved it and wants to go back again. I want to buy a Vacation home there soon. Just Magnificent and I live in Los Angeles and very expensive to live for the younger generation. That is why my niece went to Mexico to look at property there.

Hubby and I are old (81 and 74) and have been forced to move into a motorhome because rents in Canada have gotten wa-a-ay out of whack and we can't afford to live in a building anymore. Sad at our ages, but many seniors are living in cars, SUVs and RVs now. We drove across the country to where it's a bit warmer for the winter. Recently we began looking at other countries to see where we might find a decent life again... and Mexico is on top of our list. It is such a beautiful country with such a rich history... and it would be reasonably easy for us to get there by car. I am wondering... I haven't seen any dogs in any of the videos I've watched. We have a medium size dog that we would bring with us. Can you tell me how the people might feel about that? Different cultures have different ideas about dogs, which is why I ask. Thank you.

Curious how his wife has handled her hubby living in Mexico without her. I would think jealousy/insecurity would be a huge issue. Guanajuato is great, btw. I stayed in San Miguel de Allende for a month in 2023, and have been fantasizing about moving there ever since.

My biggest takeaway from this video is "LEARN SPANISH". I am attending a Spanish lesson online 3 times a week and do duolingo (mobile app). I used to live in Rio for 3 months for business which is totally different than when you go there on vacation. and it was so frustrating that I wasn't able to communicate with the locals.
