TAKING THE SUBWAY IN MEXICO CITY + A DAY IN POLANCO | Eileen Aldis

I'm currently travelling in Mexico City and in this vlog I'm taking the subway to the neighbourhood of Polanco! The subway here is fantastic and only costs five pesos (about 25 cents US!). I'm spending the day touring around Polanco. I get lunch at a cute deli, visit Museo Soumaya, and check out a cool bookstore/cafe called El Péndulo. Later I take the subway back to Roma Norte, where I'm staying, and end the day with delicious tacos from a street stand (5 tacos for 30 pesos [about $2 USD]).
ABOUT ME:
I'm travelling around the world as a nomad. I left my apartment, sold most of my stuff, bought a one way ticket, and am currently living in Mexico City! I don't know where I'm going next. COME ALONG FOR THE ADVENTURE!

Everybody is very welcome to Mexico, just take care in some places but, Mexico is AWESOME!, thanks for share!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you, Miguel! I love Mexico :)

[@ZoeyArielle]

You're making me want to move to Mexico 😍🙌🏼 your editing is so good Eileen! Can't wait to see more ❤😊

[@EileenAldis]

It's such an amazing place! Totally fell in love with Mexico City. And thank you re the editing! Working hard! I also get help from a certain editing wizard ;) Lots more videos coming! xx

[@jorgehoty]

Zoey Arielle Me too lol.

[@recabus]

you will be welcome

[@luis25s]

Eileen Aldis I just found your videos and I'm loving them. You experienced Mexico City the way we locals do. I was amazed at your extremely positive attitude towards such a large and overwhelming city. At first I thought you were american and only now realized you're actually canadian. That explains a lot!!! Canadians are the coolest!!!

[@felipecaldebronx]

You are in the wrong place! come to mexico to fix this situatuation

[@eternojj]

Que mujer tan más agradable, sencilla y simpática, en tus recorridos solo sonrío contigo me divierto mucho.

[@EileenAldis]

Hola y gracias por su amable comentario y por verlo. Me alegro de que disfrutes! :)

[@nancyjohnson9247]

Hardly know where to start with comments - guess the subway says "26 million people" better than anything. The museum is unbelievable....could take days wandering around there. The architecture is stunning. (so is the bathroom. ha, ha) Having fun following you around!

[@EileenAldis]

The subway is a fantastic way to get around and only costs 5 pesos (about 25 cents USD). That time was particularly busy but in general that hasn't happened. We haven't taken it at rush hour when I've heard it's VERY busy. Makes sense, of course! The museum is huge, yes, and lots to see! We spent a couple of hours. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@lpsantacruz1860]

Eileen Aldis ¡Que linda por dentro y por fuera !

[@EileenAldis]

Muchas gracias LP! Y gracias por ver :)

[@EileenAldis]

Gracias por ver! Happy you enjoyed! :)

[@arturomucino8511]

4:25 that part when the video synchronizes with the music is so nice. thumbs up

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Arturo! :)

[@mrflyingvguitar]

I love pinches tacos the best visit Borrego viudo or hostal de los quesos or el paisa

[@EileenAldis]

There was actually a place in Puerto Escondido called Pinches Tacos that I LOVED!

[@mrflyingvguitar]

Eileen Aldis nice puerto escondido and yes there's pinches tacos (bloody tacos or f....ING tacos) you cool girl make a video M3 fest or NAMM show with some of my great friends from legend metal bands

[@DonCuevas06]

THere's an American style BBQ place in Colonia Navarte called "Pinche Gringo BBQ"

[@HereBeBarr]

Okay, i'm filming in the subway at some point!! I love the edits here, great job guys !!

[@marcwhiteway3695]

Here Be Barr Just be careful in rush hour but otherwise you'll be fine.

[@EileenAldis]

Yes, you'll have to give the subway a try! Happy our second Uber of the day (with you guys) went more smoothly than the first ;)

[@goxdie000]

If you say "lo siento" for "sorry" you will be spotted as a foreigner in 0.0000005 seconds.

[@EileenAldis]

haha I'm sure I'm spotted as a foreigner long before I say lo siento ;) Which is best to say?

[@goxdie000]

Eileen Aldis just a "disculpa"/"disculpe" (depending primarily on the age of who you're saying it to) should suffice. "Perdón" also works out quite nice, especially when you are actually apologising.

[@EileenAldis]

Good to know!

[@Kwondhe]

Hi! Permiso is permission, it's something you ask for. Permission to pass if it's too crowded, or to enter a house you're not familiar with; it can be translated to "excuse me", that has an acception for an apology, maybe that's the cause of your confusion. Now spanish talking people don't ask for permission with the full sentence "¿me da permiso?" (can I have your permission?, may I pass, please?), they have cutted it into simply "permiso", it's an unfinished sentence. I have discovered your channel just yesterday and I've been watching it nonstop, love it!!

[@MrEdwar084]

that's better, honest foreigner is much better among that crowd than somebody who is trying to act weird trying to conceal your accent and so on.....people will now anyways

[@beltfed1]

This was FUN to watch! I've never seen Mexico City in such a way before. You make everything interesting....Even subways! I think Marc's great camera and editing skills really shine too. He has a knack for picking music that is very catchy!

[@marcwhiteway3695]

Mark mcCurdy Thanks Mark! Although I have to say that Eileen prepped this entire edit for me so I can't take all the credit.

[@EileenAldis]

Yeah, Marc picks amazing music! So glad you enjoyed this vlog :)

[@mrflyingvguitar]

traveling into subway in the city of Mexico but stations like zócalo or Pino Suarez it's like light training for rugby excelente video te faltó bellas artes ópera tosca

[@EileenAldis]

haha that's a funny way of looking at it! It did feel a bit like it trying to get off sometimes ;)

[@WanderingLloyd]

Nice vlog. I almost cried at the Tacos shot! I love tacos and I miss it so much here in India :( I liked your edits. Hope to see more

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much! Sending you virtual tacos! 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 I really want to visit India this year! Would be fun to meet up if you're around.

[@WanderingLloyd]

Sure :) I'll b around

[@CheerstoTravels]

i experienced a train incident almost like yours but in shanghai...it was terrifying knowing you might miss your stop! LOL this is a great video! so glad to have found you in the travel vlogger group! subbing for sure! btw we absolutely love mexico and have so many more trips to various parts of this amazing country!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much! I've just discovered your channel too and subscribed. Always happy to meet other wanderers! Hope you were able to get off at the right stop in the end in Shanghai! It's crazy when it gets so packed!

[@EduardoGonzalez-qt7zp]

6:40 the tacos are perfect

[@EileenAldis]

Yep! Agreed 🌮🤤

[@andreas3304]

Your videos are lovely! I enjoy seeing my country and my favorite city there. I really miss Mexico after 5 years living abroad.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks Andrea! I'm sure you must miss it! Whereabouts do you live now? I absolutely loved my visit to Mexico :)

[@armandochavez1117]

Hi, I adore El Péndulo too but If you liked and want to go back to see more books, I recommend you: Librería Gandhi in Coyoacán, Centro Cultural Elena Garro (it´s amazing), El Sótano (miguel angel de quevedo), Fondo de Cultura Económica (eje central), and my favorites ones, we called it "Librerias de viejo" they are bookstores of old books that are on the street maidens in the historic center (Donceles), and of course don´t miss the University City Library, it´s a MUST, glad to see your post, greetings from México.

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Armando! Thanks so much for these recommendations. I'm adding them to my Mexico City list :) I LOVE bookstores and libraries. Did you see my video on Biblioteca Vasconcelos? It's one of my favourite libraries in the world. Greetings to you!

[@armandochavez1117]

Vasconcelos is huge, near there is the "Chopo Museum" and the "Kiosko Morisco", They are structures brought from Germany and Turkey piece by piece, great places to visit, Did you know that Mexico City is the city that has more museums in America? , cheers.

[@EileenAldis]

I heard that! I love Mexico City. ❤️

[@messysteve]

those tacos. want them. now. awesome video!

[@EileenAldis]

they're SO GOOD! 30 pesos ($2) for 5!! Thank you! :)

[@marcwhiteway3695]

Thanks Steve Dagg! We'll eat a 🌮 or two for ya!

[@valib19]

I am so glad I found your channel! I am Mexican and I appreciate your videos so much 💜

[@EileenAldis]

Hey! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and thank you so much for watching and leaving such a lovely comment :)

[@Ferstoned]

Thanks for the videos. I arrived recently and your videos are a big help...

[@EileenAldis]

Hello! Sorry, I just saw your comment now. I'm so glad to hear the videos are helpful and hope you're having a great time! :)

[@angelafoss3194]

So good to see you and Marc. Glad you are having fun, but you guys could make any place fun! It is nice to see the ciy through your lens as I only saw the inside of the Mexico City airport -- next time... Angie

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much, Angie! We are definitely having fun and Mexico City has surpassed all my expectations! Hopefully you'll be able to come back and enjoy the city next time you're in Mexico :)

[@AlexVinyl]

Mexico City is amazing! I love this place. Nice video!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! Yes, it's amazing :)

[@g.e.harker]

I really enjoyed this video, and the tacos at the end 😮🌮

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks Gerard! Eating the tacos at the end was my favourite part of making it hehe yum :)

[@culchiemx]

I love that you actually ate tacos the way we do in Mexico. I enjoyed watching your video and I hope that you have enjoyed your visit.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! I had an amazing time and have more videos coming soon about CDMX :) I looooved those tacos. The stand was near where I was staying and we ate there a bunch. 'Al pastor' was my personal favourite.

[@culchiemx]

I'll be looking forward to your upcoming vids. ”Al pastor" are my favorites. Hopefully you are able to pay a visit to other states of the country as well. I'm from a small city called Orizaba in Veracruz, not really a touristy one, but close to Puebla and Veracruz harbor. If you are ever around here, I would be glad to show you around, guys. Hasta luego

[@EileenAldis]

That's so kind! Gracias! I have another friend who lives in Veracruz I'd love to visit someday too. We spent more than ten weeks in Mexico but of course it's never enough time and there are many, many places I want to return to. Pubela is also on the list!

[@pastoraronmartinez47]

Love your videos... and you have always this big smile... i want tacos haha

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much, Aron! Omg I ALWAYS want tacos haha ;)

[@goxdie000]

Hey! I live just a few buildings to the left of that taco place at the end, in front of the theatre's carpark entrance. I'm glad you like Roma Norte and Mexico. Great video!

[@EileenAldis]

Hi! Cool!! I love your neighbourhood - what a fun place to live :) Thank you for watching and please have some tacos for me haha

[@pepegemik]

Eileen very good vídeo In México City, but the best part was the "taco time". Saludos cordiales.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! hehe taco time is always the best time! ;)

[@PassaporteNoBolso]

Great Vlog! Incredible footage :)

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)

[@alexubn6780]

bo! ba! bo bo bo bo ... sounds perfect that tune on your vídeo

[@EileenAldis]

Glad you liked the music, Alex!

[@john80c]

The Museo Soumaya looked awesome-the thinker is I believe a bronze(?) copy of Rodin's legendary sculpture at his house in Paris. The subway looked similar to London's-sweaty, smelly and crowded but stil great fun

[@lpaxt]

Mexico City is amazing. We live in San Miguel de Allende and visit several times a year. Glad you had fun...

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Larry! Yes, we loved it too and had an amazing time. I just fell in love with CDMX. You live in a gorgeous place! We also visited SMA and made some videos there. I'm glad we got to to visit it as well :)

[@lpaxt]

[@EileenAldis]

Gracias! I hope to! :)

You should come to Guadalajara! most the things you know about Mexico come from this place, for example mariachi and tequila and many others! greetings from Guadalajara by the way.

[@EileenAldis]

I'd love to visit Guadalajara! Will have to make another visit! I absolutely LOVE mariachi music :)

[@diegodiaz9409]

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Dan! Puebla is a place I'd love to visit but unfortunately I won't have time on this trip. I'm saving it, and other stops, for a return :)

[@lgls]

I hope you enjoyed the city 😍🇲🇽

[@EileenAldis]

I fell in love with it! CDMX is now one of my favourite cities in the world ❤️🇲🇽

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much, Eduardo! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying them and thank you for subscribing :)

[@alejandrolicea59]

The best part was the taco stand... awesome. For a minute I thought you were vegetarian but it was nice seeing you eating tacos de suadero

[@EileenAldis]

The tacos were delicious! I used to be vegetarian but not anymore - still love veggie/vegan food too though! :) I like the 'al pastor' tacos here - yum.

[@DesigningLife]

Ohhh nice. I think I actually saw ur IG photo of that art gallery architecture. Mexico city is def on my list. Just not sure when ill make it. Great job on the vid.

[@DesigningLife]

E = estacionamiento LOL

[@EileenAldis]

bahahah 😂

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! Yes, I posted an IG of it. It's impossible NOT to take photos of that building ;) I've absolutely loved being in CDMX and have more videos on it coming! You should totally make a visit here.

[@EileenAldis]

Also, didn't realize I wasn't subbed to your channel! Just did!

[@mikioni]

Excellent clip .

[@josemorales-st2nc]

lol...you have to try pantitlan station when they opens...you can't belive it...good luck beautiful lady.

[@EileenAldis]

haha it must be super busy, eh? Thanks for watching!

[@anto4380delaguaridaa]

I'm so grateful to live in Polanco!

[@EileenAldis]

You live in such a cool place! I love CDMX!

[@edgars8947]

Anto4380 I used to live exactly on the building behind her on 4:33 and my first and only visit to the museum was the last day I spent living there :D

[@EileenAldis]

So cool that you lived right there! And I can relate: I lived near a museum in Toronto for more than a decade and only went when I was about to move ;)

[@MrEdwar084]

every time i used to get out of te metro i used to get this horrible headache, like clockwork, a combination of things like pressure in the tunnels, the pollution, altitude, and the insane numbers of people.

[@EileenAldis]

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope it improves or has already :)

[@renatal.3890]

Holaaa! I liked your videos suscribed

[@EileenAldis]

Hello Renata! Thanks so much! Nice to e-meet you :)

[@thealkimista2012]

Congratulations,if you made it thru the subway,you are a "chilanga" if you dont know what it means,it means like a person that lives in Mexico city,by the way you are so cute

[@thealkimista2012]

Hahaha yeah! I was born in in Mex city,live there for 19 years,now I live in Pennsylvania for about 13,and I remember the first time I had to go in the subway at a time of the day when is so busy,I was with a friend of mine I was like 14 and I couldnt get in the first 2 times,my friend had to get out and told me,listen you need to push to get in ok? I said ok,so I did,then to get out the same,I couldnt get out the first time so he said,listen if you wanna get out you need to push ok? so I did,but really if you did it you passed the test!,people from other states in Mexico call the people from Mex city "chilangos" Nice video you made me remember old memories.

[@EileenAldis]

hahaha that's such a good story! I'm picturing it in my head! I guess it's like a rite of passage. Your hometown is awesome and Pennsylvania is just across the lake from my home province of Ontario! I grew up in London :)

[@thealkimista2012]

So you have been around Eileen,and where do you live now? and what made you go to Mexico?

[@EileenAldis]

I'm a nomad now so I'm living different places! I went to Mexico because I'd only been once before and wanted to see more.

[@thealkimista2012]

Jajajaja loquita! your are not a nomad.you are just and explorer,and aventurer,just like me,"loquita" is not a bad word,means like you are different but with live,like if you would say to somebody that you care,man or woman,kid or girl,you say " loquita" is like crazy but is not an insult is like I dont know how to say it but is not a bad word ok? is like if I hug you tight and kiss you I would say "my loquita" "my crazy one" like YOU ARE DIFFERENT

[@jog5787]

Hiii! I'm from Mexico City and i love what are u doing in my city, you should go to Coyoacan, its a very beautiful place of Mexico City 😘

[@EileenAldis]

¡Hola! Greetings to you in CDMX! Happy to hear you're enjoying my videos! We did go to Coyoacan and I loved it there :) If you're interested to see, I talked about it here in my 'What to do in Mexico City' video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foa0ZYSvfNh6n7s and in my 'Frida Kahlo tour of Mexico City' video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZOTepl3dp2dj68

[@raullopez9708]

What a lie, not every places.

[@EileenAldis]

Hello! I'm sorry I've only just now seen your comment. Don't be scared :) Have you already been to Mexico City? I hope you have/had a wonderful time! I think all the best tips are in my videos and I have a Mexico City playlist if you're interested in checking it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIS1eXSVht50b8k If you have any specific questions I can help with please email me at [e-mail] :)

[@pilotjones9866]

Lmfao I'm also travelling to Mexico City on my own next month August, and I'm so scared, I don't speak an ounce of Spanish and I've never been on a trip alone before. I hope your trip went well??!

[@karen8875]

yes! I am back from my trip! it was amazing, I stayed there for a week and it was not scary at all!! sometimes when I was feeling a bit nervous in the metro I just kept saying to myself: if you can read, you can get to your destination😉😂 I took amazing photos, ate a lot, went shopping and had a great time. If you're going to not-so-pretty parts of the city (which I did) try not to have your phone in your hand or cameras or anything that will drag attention to you, it's just a precaution😊 have fun, but as always, be aware of your surroundings. best of luck! xx

[@prichitoadiamantadoP3-18]

Permiso is said when someone want to pass and other people are on their way. The other three Words are used to apologize.

[@EileenAldis]

Hi there, Thanks for your comment. Yeah, I sort of think of permiso as 'pardon' or 'excuse me' - there's a joke that Canadians say sorry a lot haha.

[@renedomingogodinez4616]

[@luyzqint3760]

For street food, you may want to check out True Mexico channel, it's a KZbin channel from a British guy living in Mexico. He loves street food, and knows his way around the city.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check out that channel! Such delicious food here :)

[@ajmassage3799]

[@raulgarcia5850]

[@rhodevalenciademoraila3290]

we don't use es mi culpa for sorry,we just use perdon,disculpe thats it,we dont use conpermiso for sorry,that is for another situation,like if somebody is on your way,and you want to be nice you said con permiso like excuse me.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for clarifying - we Canadians are always joking about saying sorry, or some version of sorry, so much haha.

[@alextogo8367]

I didn't personally get sick from food but I know it's different for everyone. I think a good tip is to look for places that are popular and have a lot of people there! Or ask for a recommendation from someone who has eaten there before. But some of the best food is from street vendors so I wouldn't want to miss out! :)

thanks for your response Eileen , I enjoy watching your videos they are fun very well edited and informative as well.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! I appreciate it and am glad you're enjoying the videos :) Thanks for watching!

im sorry solo 524. suscriptores?

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for your comment :)

TIP NUMBER ONE- NEVER EVER I REPEAT NEVER! ride the subway with phones in your pocket and have your hands up when holding on when having valuables in your pockets, they will pick pocket you when you least expect it.

[@mxpengin]

I love your videos!, Just one recommendation , If you have the choice, always prefer an established taco restaurant/stand over a street cart as those businesses don't have running water that facilitates the hygiene of the products and of the owner !

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much for watching and I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! I really appreciate the tip about the street vendors as well. Are you from Mexico City? xx

[@cmnweb]

Naaa street tacos are the best... the flavor is unique, maybe because are not cleaner than a restaurant :P

[@EileenAldis]

haha the ones I tried were delicious. Hard to go wrong with tacos! ;)

a numa

[@EileenAldis]

I'm not sure what that means.

[@cheap_frills]

Drives me insane that they push their way in before letting you out of the metro!!

[@EileenAldis]

haha yeah! Yesterday I rode during rush hour and I had to start pushing towards the front of the car, like, three stops before my actual stop to have any chance of getting off! But I still can't believe it's only 5 pesos. Unreal!

[@8.4.8.2]

Heather Rincon Actually, like 3 years ago the metro was in 3 pesos.

[@EileenAldis]

I guess prices go up everywhere! ;)

[@cheap_frills]

OnVita Huh? I didnt mention anything about metro prices :) ?

[@8.4.8.2]

Oh no. The reply was for Eileen :) Just as a fact. LOL.

Mexico City subways are clean, efficient and handy service like TTC subways​ in Toronto. Big difference is has about six or seven subway lines, Si or nada, por favor? I wanted to go Mexico one day, but because of the bad things happening to tourists there can't let it deter me from going. Also a few Mexicans don't like black people and a small amount of the population of Mexico has African descent, they refuse to show it.

[@edgarestrada7534]

mmm I don´t think we mexicans have nothing against any race in general, we just don´t play the racial game at all. I guess mexicans tend to discriminate more in the "socioeconomic status" way, but we just don´t discriminate for race. we are all like a huge mixture, there are mexicans in all colors and flavors. (sorry for my english, lerned it at school c: )

[@MrDigitalman78]

Edgar Est I agree with you there. Mexico is ethnically diverse with different people like Canada and US.

[@sonorafx]

You should watch Negrito Grande's vlog to see how mexicans treat black people, and not to believe all that media are saying about Mexico anymore.

[@elizabethgonzalez-1143]

Simons Gordon I promise you if you visit Mexico, (especially Mexico city or Cancun which are more touristy) you will not have any bad experiences. So long as you stay with the tourists and obviously don't wander off to places that look sketchy, which is how tourists end up having bad experiences whether it be Mexico, Thailand or Europe. Also the racism you are referring to is not the kind that leads to violence or open discrimination. Maybe you have read a tad too many exaggerating articles.

[@MrDigitalman78]

Elizabeth Gonzalez I believe what you're about Mexico in general. It's a friendly tourist destination. I will stay in the tourist areas like Cancun. I also want to know the Mexican capital of Mexico City CDMX Cuidad de Mexico. Mexico gets a bad wrap through media, can't believe the negativity of Mexico.

[@platinumUser7]

Try to learn more words

[@EileenAldis]

haha I'm trying to learn as much as possible! When I arrived I knew nothing ;)

[@JessaJay]

Lol you were being such a white girl in the beginning and I love it :p HA HA!

[@EileenAldis]

haha I'm not sure which part you mean but thanks for watching! Mexico City is awesome! xx

[@ramivalencia]

Polanco is arguably Mexico's most wealthy region, so you're not getting a taste of the real Mexico. Of course, the real Mexico is deadly and violent these days, so I don't blame you for not venturing too far into more native territory.

[@EileenAldis]

Hi there, I didn't just visit Polanco. This was one day of more than ten weeks we spent in Mexico. I was lucky to experience a lot of different parts of the country. I have a playlist here of my other Mexico videos if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57KgoCbgK6WfdE
