[@LouYorkLife]

Great video and awesome spots

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks!

[@whellockroad]

Wow, Tapuwa, you knocked it outa this park on this one. Love your style, delivery, and most of all, your thorough content. I'm in Colombia, headed to PDC in March. Your info is indispensable. Hope to run into you when I'm there. Gracias!

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks for watching! I’m actually considering Colombia in March ha ha.

[@luke-ti3fu]

Perfect timing. I move out for 6 months in March next year 🙏

[@varoon5]

Been using this video as a guide around Playa. I went to Logia and turns out they’ve blocked all the electric outlets and removed the wifi. They don’t want people working here I guess - cool spot though.

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks for the update. That sucks. But I guess I can see why they did that. Especially since it’s a small place.

[@AZANDAE]

This was very helpful. Great video. I just followed and DM you.

[@carislovelight4660]

This is a wonderfully done and informative video! Thank you!

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks for watching!

[@dzllz]

Amazing video ,thanks for taking me back to Playa! Love the city, hope to come back this winter:)

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks!

[@timothyrees6318]

Such an informative video. Awesome! Thank you!

[@TapuwaWilliam]

No problem!

[@Xmaslightsallyear]

You do exceptionally substantive and insightful videos. I admire your work.

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thank you!

[@Wellspring604]

We're planning on going to PDC soon for the first time. I'd like to avoid 5th and check out some streets with more authentic local food and shops. Could you please recommend some off the tourist strip streets to explore? Thanks!

[@TapuwaWilliam]

You’ll actually find some good places downtown. I recommend joining the PDC Facebook expat groups and doing a search for “restaurants” it will pull up lots of good results based on past questions and submissions.

[@KaylahCreative]

This was excellent ! Thank you so much for always sharing such informative and thorough info

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thank you! 🙏🏿

[@youhavetogotheretocomeback]

Nice brother, like it...however, is your microphone a potato? This may be holding you back in the AV stakes :)

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Ha ha yes! I’m getting a new mic.

[@traceylankford8579]

There are 2 Thompson Hotels in Playa. Are you referring to the beach house or Catch Restaurant?

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thompson Hotel Downtown

[@gracebinti3287]

Thank you Tapuwa for another great video. Are you able to comment or make a video on the impact of humidity on electronics? I read on a few forum that some folks have had issues with their laptop due to condensation caused by humidity . Is there any tips you use yourself to protect yours or is it a non issue?

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks for watching Grace. I haven’t had issues with my laptop mostly because I use it indoors with AC and a fan. So in that regard you should be fine.

[@gracebinti3287]

@@TapuwaWilliam thank you!

[@MrJed_s]

Nice vid, the only thing I would suggest is to have fewer fast pans which became a bit nauseating. Slower pans or static shots I think would make it a bit nicer to watch. PdC was probably one of my least favourite Mexican cities due to the touristy nature, but is probably a good base to see the surrounding attractions.

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll slow down the pans ha ha. Which was your fave Mexican City?

[@MrJed_s]

@@TapuwaWilliam look forward to seeing future vids! Hmm that's a tough one, I ended up spending the most time in Oaxaca, though it's also kind of touristy haha

[@mariselavelazquez5410]

Do you guys pay some taxes while abroad if the company you work for is in your born country?

[@TapuwaWilliam]

Yes I pay taxes to Canada.

[@luke-ti3fu]

10 pesos for fresh fruit juice. Wow. £3 in the UK
