Five Things I Love About Mexico City

[@johnsutton7445]

Living and working on and off in México city for 30 years it’s truly a wonderful place. How about getting your shoes perfectly shined on the street, getting a perfect shave, hearing laughter early in the morning, the smell of fresh wood oven pan dulce, combinations of fresh-squeezed juice, cultural museums in every Colonia, and outdoor markets selling handicrafts around this special city. May the city and its people continue to thrive. Peace and abundance for all.

So Glad you are having a wonderful experience in Mexico City ❤️

[@ccobbwalker]

I spent 2 months in CDMX last summer and I fully agree with all you said above. I would add that besides being friendly, the people are also almost unfailingly polite and despite the US's boorish behavior towards Mexico in general over the past few years, Mexicans actually like Americans and can separate the poltics from the people.

I agree across the board Andrew. A few additions from my own experience in Mexico City; as bustling as it is, you can remove yourself from the bustle as easily as sitting on one of the innumerable benches, in the parks or even on the Paseo de la Reforma, and it's as relaxing as a quiet park in Europe, to me anyway. And while I am very fond of Bogota, and Colombians, I prefer Mexican music over the salsa that is so ubiquitous in Colombia. Last time I was in Colombia I found myself gravitating to places that were playing Mexican music. Ultimately it boils down to the Mexican people, who are some of the best in the world.

[@kenmccarthy9037]

Spot on. Mexico City is definitely one of the great big major cities and political/economic capitals of the world. Comments: 1) The taxi ride from the airport might put some people off. Just think of Mexico City as a sea and the great neighborhoods as islands. The less-than-great neighborhoods aren't bad, but sometimes there's an unwalkable gap in between (like the airport to the good parts) 2) that said, for such a big city, the airport is close and really easy to get to especially if you avoid rush hour. The ability to get anywhere else in the country non-stop (the Pacific beaches, Oaxaca, the Yucatan etc.) is a big plus. General note: Avoid trying to get anywhere during rush hour. 3) the food culture is off the hook, one of the best in the world. It's worth getting a book or two and reading up on it so you don't miss anything great. 4) it's a VERY cultured place, has as many museums as London and every kind of music you can imagine 5) MANY excellent neighborhoods besides the ones Andrew mentioned. Here are not mentioned that are definitely worth a visit: Coyoacan and San Angel 6) the subway is modern, handy and super cheap. Just avoid rush hour. 7) The city is at a pretty high altitude so your first day or so you might feel a little lightheaded when you arrive and truth be told air quality is not always ideal 8) Dynamic place. It's not only a magnet for talent from Mexico, talented people from all over Latin America flock there and increasingly Europeans and North Americans too 9) If I was planing to start a business esp. a virtual one, this is a much better choice than impossibly expensive places like NYC and London.

[@bretcampos9048]

I have lived in Bogota and Mexico City and there is no doubt in my mind that Mexico City is a much better place to live. I like to call Mexico City “Foreign Light”. The people make Mexico City special. They are generally very kind and open to making friends with new people. The food is amazing here and if you haven’t had a taco al pastor this is the place to get it. It is the most popular food in the city. I drive in Bogota and CDMX and Mexicans follow US driving etiquette and rules for the most part. Bogota driving is best described as organized chaos with everyone only worried about themselves. In Bogota you can’t use a turn signal because all other drivers will take that as a sign to cut you off. I can take $60 round trip flight to almost any coastal city in Mexico for the weekend whenever I want. Passing through airport security usually takes less than 10 min. I can grab a direct flight from CDMX to most major US cities. I could go on but Mexico City is a hidden gem.

[@darthyoda7657]

Mexico is definitely on the map for me as I work towards a Nomad Capitalist lifestyle. My GF is Hispanic and has family there, and when I think of things like climate, natural disasters, and likelihood of consequences from war, Mexico seems like a low level risk. I'm 32, and have never left the US. I applied for my first passport a month ago, and Mexico will be the first country I visit. Starting your book next week!

[@jessejoel1588]

Congrats!!! 32 and never left your home country?! So happy for you, the experiences you will go through outside of your home country will no doubt reshape the way you look and feel about things, whether slightly or immensely - regardless, kind of envious since you get to "try a new country" for the first time ever, as it's such an incredible experience - enjoy yourself and be safe!!

Absolutely. CDMX (Mexico City) is my home for a year now. The pandemic has interfered with my acclimation, but I have met lovely, kind, warm friends. This is a welcoming city with great weather and a wonderful vibe. People ask, “Is it safe?” Yes, if you take the same precautions you should take in any big city.

[@bartphlegar8212]

Just like in New York, if you see a couple of guys arguing in the mercado, they are probably best friends who have known each other since childhood. They still pump your gas for you here. The food is way better here than in most countries (especially the US). You can go to Costco or Walmart (if you must). And even in the biggest cities in MX that are maligned by the American and Canadian presses, you can still find quiet safe neighborhoods. But you have to look for your peace here...Get out of the tourist hubs!...

Mexico City if phenomenal. Love all the wonderful museums and artwork. A lot of accessible day trips to ruins and surrounding small towns like Taxco.

[@joez7407]

went to mexico city for the first time to meet my wifes folks 15 years ago - being a northerner (anti-hugger) it really threw me off how wonderful the vast majority of people are. we were going to people's homes that my wife barely knew, it was always the same thing - they treated me no different than they were treating their own relatives - food, drink, always hugging. from there on - i was hooked. not to say bad things don't happen - but i loved it. also loved the fact that you could go at 2am and grab taco's!!! and the places were packed @ 2am!!!! like whole families out... just the vibe and the feel - i loved it. would highly recommend it. being i don't speak espanol i would highly recommend Azcapotzalco to walk around - love the little markets in the morning and spaghetti and chicken on every street corner. Really like Polanco as they have the shops and if you need to go to Costco or any of the more Euro/American places. Great video!!!

[@CarlosRodriguez-xl6ez]

As a Mexican citizen who has lived in Mexico city my whole life here and I'm just 25 years old now. I have visited some other cities and by far Mexico city is my favourite, ofc ourse some times the traffic and some areas are a let down, for a middle class family it's great to live, there are a lot of malls, parks, museums, great food from cheap tacos to michelin star restaurants with international mexican/foreign chefs. Middle eastern, mediterranean, Asian cousines, a lot of american grills or vegan food if you are that type of person. Winter is cold but not extremely cold, let´s say 7 celsius degrees to 12 degrees which is perfect to rock nice outfits but without layering it that much, spring is sunny and hot and autumn is windy. Internet its pretty fast too with optical fabric up to 1GB of internet speed for around 70 usd a month. There is a lot of places to visit, night life and there is people from all over the world the whole year to hang out with. Love my city and of course it's not perfect but it's more than a decent city to live with if you are a city person and some nice areas around the city like Malinalco with amazing spans, Valle de bravo, Puebla which is also increasing their life quality pretty fast.

I couldn’t agree more. To me, Mexico City is the relatively undiscovered jewel of the Americas. I used to go to New York all the time for my city “fix”. Who needs it - over priced, over rated and increasingly sterilized. CDMX has it all. I usually stay in the Bella’s Artes area so I can walk almost anywhere. If I can’t walk there are subway stops nearby. The subway, by the way, is just great. There are so many interesting neighborhoods, great restaurants, wonderful markets -everything one could want in the world class city that CDMX is.

I'm in Roma Norte, just got here from Bulgaria. CDMX is so pet-friendly, hardly any stray animals in good neighborhoods, pet food stores & vets everywhere, dogs in outdoor cafes, water bowls everywhere. This makes a difference, it's so relaxing to be a tourist instead of a rescuer. Minor issues: preoccupation with masks, hand sanitizer, temperature checks. Also, very high security presence in many shops & malls. Yesterday I went to a mall to look at coffee gadgets, but it wasn't fun because I had too much "help," so I left. Trust me, I don't look out of place in a nice mall, so they do that to everyone.

There are many universities around (10-25 universities), so there is a lot of qualified talent, and some coworking spaces, so you can build an IT company and really have very low gas expenses, pretty average food expenses, and great great sea food very cheap, along with the multi culturalism and access to original italian food managed by Italians, and also Smoked Ribs managed by Louisianians.... Get expert massages by a Russian lady, and have fun golfing or playing tennis or whatever you want so you get the best of everything.

I never have a good day when I miss an episode, and Im glad I watched this one.

LOVE LOVE 💙💜💚 MEXICO 🇲🇽 Definitely a great place to live. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the inspiration.... just booked my trip for later this month.

I haven't been there in almost 20 years, but I have always loved it since the first time, 40 years ago. It was much better before NAFTA kicked in, it became too amercanized. Why do I like it? General feeling. It can be intimidating at the beginning, the number of people on the street is unmatched anywhere in Latin America. Air contamination is pretty bad. Culture is fantastic, but without Spanish you miss out on most of it.

I was born and raised in Mexico City and a Canadian Citizen living in BC since 2003. Although I wouldn’t go back to Mexico City to live (way too much traffic for me although the food, the vibe is true, is awesome), I am certainly considering very seriously to return and live somewhere else in Mexico. A small town most likely, near the beach. Canada is great but it’s starting to be more of a “golden cage”. Mexico is freedom. 👍

Yo me regresé de Canadá, es un País hermoso, y si vives en una jaula de oro, por los climas extremos... Convivir, con mi familia, primos no tiene precio y con esta pamdemia. Que han muerto varios conocidos y familiares cercanos. No lo cambio por vivír primer mundo... Decidí quedarme en México.

Singapore is a great hub too. Singapore to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Delhi, Indonesia, Australia, NZ, Japan, KL, Penang, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Cambodia, Philippines, etc. Pretty much anywhere in the world with one hop.

If you can afford it sure. Kuala Lumpur is also good and far cheaper.

I'd love to hear more about Mexico from Nomad Capitalist. I'm planning to move to Guadalajara in a month, but I'm open to trying other places. I didn't choose Mexico City as my first spot because it seemed more crowded, polluted, and expensive than other options.

[@philschiavone101]

I feel the same way about Guadalajara. More history.

[@HappyCornPuffs]

GDL is Great!

[@philschiavone101]

@Gororoba just walk the blocks in each city. Guadalajara is much better preserved. Less of the historic sites have been knocked down. You don’t have to go to a museum to find out the history. BTW, the quality of the museums are better. Guadalajara is the pearl in the mountains of Mexico. Mexico City does not have the cultural structure of Guadalajara.

Andrew - Mexico City is my absolute favorite. I'd love to buy you a drink or lunch before you leave for Playa. Let me know if you have any free time at all, I'm staying in Roma Norte.

[@sheilakay4138]

I’m confused. I live in Playa and we have to wear masks. When was this footage shot? I don’t see one mask. I’ve been told by my landlord that lives in Mexico City is that c*vid is still bad there. And you are correct about Mexico. Best country in the world to live in!

[@mangosgomexico6343]

We have family there. Our base is Rosarito beach (San Diego weather). We go back and for to CA. I can jump on a plane in TJ. Mexico City is a little too busy for me and too smoggy. If I do pick a busy city it would be Guadalajara.

[@davidchilton4301]

Have to agree. I loved my time in CDMX and could easily envision living there (my wife a little less so). I think it's a unique place in the world. I agree that the people are quite friendly for such a large city. I will push back slightly on the notion that English is widely spoken. Versus Colombia that's true but versus other more touristy spots in Mexico (Cancun, Puerto Vallarta) it really isn't. We got by (and my Spanish is better now so we'd do better) but it wasn't always easy.

[@fourthdeconstruction]

True English is more widely spoken or understood in Tourists cities like P.V, Cancun, los Cabos and where expats live like San Miguel A, Ajijic than Mexico City
