Subscriber from Nuevo León here! Fun Facts: - People from the City of Monterrey are called Regiomontanos (which roughly translates to mountain kings) because Monterrey means "King Mountain", this due to it being surrounded by mountains (google "Cerro de la Silla" and "Chipinque") - Regional dishes include: Cabrito (grilled goat), Machaca (beef jerky with eggs and salsa), Glorias (milk candy), frijoles con veneno (beans with pork lard and red chile sauce), carne asada, and tacos de fideo (noodle tacos) - It has a bad reputation of incest amongst other states (Like Alabama in the USA) - Up until a couple of years it hosted the richest city (by GDP) in all of Latin America, it being San Pedro Garza García

[@freshblackmint]

Also, Monterrey and Königsberger technically means the same, so Monterrey technically have a German translation

[@JohnDoe-fl6ov]

Well the "Incest" is more of an inner mexican joke more than anything and this is mainly because: 1-Unlike other mexican states, Nuevo Leon's indigenous population was nomadic with barely any settlements, the mestizaje was not that prominent at first. 2- A lot of the spaniards that colonized the state were sephardic jews and cousin marriage was not that uncommon back in the day. 3-Discount Alabama mexican joke 4-Just like I said this was an Inner mexican joke that was blown out of proportion just like the whole Tlaxcala not existing thing, a lot of statistics show that Incest is really rare in Nuevo Leon but more promminent in poor mexican states.

I wish you talked more about Sonora. Going a bit more in depth, Sonora is a mostly arid state with many mountains. The northwestern part is also known for its sand dunes. Many tourists from Arizona go to the resort towns of Puerto Peñasco and San Carlos. Going east, it starts becoming green, with the “magic town” of Álamos being located here. The state’s capital is Hermosillo; other big cities are San Luis Río Colorado, Nogales, Guaymas, and Ciudad Obregón, which are all very industrial. The coat of arms reflects the state very well, as it shares a coast with the Sea of Cortez; along here, there is a lot of fishing and beautiful ports. Agriculture is mostly concentrated around the city of Miguel Alemán, the valley around Ciudad Obregón, and the San Luis Valley. Sonora is mostly known for its meats and ranching, and here you will find some of the best carne asada tacos in Mexico. Mining has been historically important to the state and still exists as an industry today. As for attire, many Sonorenses dress as cowboys. Major tribes here include the Yaqui, Mayo, Cucapá, Seris, and Papagos.

Here in Indonesia, we also have a region, or an island, that named by a mistake like Yucatan. It is Sulawesi.

If you are doing a filler episode on Malaysia in future episodes, here’s my explanation on the 13 states of Malaysia: 1.) Perlis: The Northernmost and the smallest state in Malaysia and is most famous for its caves the famous one being Gua Kelam and is famous for its seafoods as the main activities there is mostly fishing, also lots of paddy fields and is also famous for Wang Kelian Border Market which is located in Padang Besar bordering Thailand.

They even have their own Kedah Paddy Museum, Kedah is also known for places like Bujang Valley, Alor Setar Tower, Kedah State Art Gallery and don’t forget Kedah’s most famous tourist destination and its none other than Langkawi Island, which is very famous for its beaches, Due to its breathtaking natural scenery and landscapes. Langkawi is also one of Malaysia’s duty free zones and this also means that things like alcohol are openly sold there sometimes at a cheaper price without being subjected to tax regulations. The Capitol of Kedah is Alor Setar. 3.) Penang: Consists of Penang Island and the one on the mainland known as Seberang Perai. And this also gave Penang the nickname “Pearl Of The Orient”. It was also part of the three entities of the Strait Settlements It is very famous for its rich cultures, history and UNESCO heritage sites with its colonial style buildings, temples, arts, and not to mention for its Peranakan Baba Nyonya culture which are people descended from Chinese traders whom have intermarried with local people and have created a fusion of Chinese and Malay culture and traditions, Penang is also known for being a food haven and its most famous dish being the Penang Char Kway Teow.

Perak: Perak was famous for its history as a tin mining region and its history goes way back when the story starts with Long Jaafar, a Malay chief of Larut whom discovered tin deposits while he was bathing in a river and Since then, Perak have prospered for its tin ore mining productions and this also led to the migration of Chinese working as tin miners in Perak. These various Chinese clans began to rival one another and started vying for control over the tin industry and this led to the Larut war and Ngah Ibrahim, whom is the chief of Larut, and the son of Long Jaafar, began asking for help from a British superintendent from the British Strait Settlements named Captain Speedy to solve the dispute. Nowadays, Perak is most famous for places like Kellie’s Castle, Ipoh Railway Station, Gua Tempurong, Leaning Tower Of Teluk Intan and many more. The capital of Perak is Ipoh. 5.)

It is the only state in Malaysia to have a Christian majority population and have no official religion and this also explains why Sarawak recently also has a lot of separatist movements. Sarawak is famous for the Gawai festival and also famous for its lush rainforests, flora and fauna including the famous rafflesia flower and the Rhinoceros hornbills which gave Sarawak the nickname “Land Of The Hornbills”. Places of interest includes Damai Beach, Sarawak Cultural Village, Niah Cave, Semenggoh Wildlife Reerve, Mulu National Park, Niah Cave and more. The capital of Sarawak is Kuching. 13.)

As a Jarocho (and Xalapeño) myself, i feel you talked very little about my beautiful state. Veracruz of course has beautiful beaches (Chachalacas, Villa Rica, Veracruz, Anton Lizardo, etc, etc) But it also has a lot of mountains, speacially in the zone of the center of the state, where the capital city is. And also the beautiful prehispanic culture Since is a large state, the state has 3 big zones, the Huasteca or north zone, the central or mountains zone, and the south zone. This gives the state a rich culture Veracruz also is the 2nd biggest producer of coffee of ALL mexico (and also the best, sorry Chiapas), specially in the city of Coatepec, just 15 minutes away from Xalapa. And it also has one of the best cusines of all mexico with chileatoles, pescado a la veracruzana, caldo de jaiba, gorditas picadas, etc... Is also a big producer of caña de azucar (which is where a lot of sugar come from), mangos, lime and papaya And i also feel like i keep things short😂😂😂😂

[@danielgl2455]

I’m from Morelia, Michoacán. Something to add on to what you guys mentioned, the capital of Morelia (named after Jose Maria Morelos Y Pavón who was born in the capital) is a UNESCO world heritage site because a lot of the old style Spanish architecture is still preserved there. Mexican food is also UNESCO world heritage protected and the majority of it is food from Michoacán. The first Mexican Constitution was also signed in Michoacan, in the city Apatzingán de la Constitución. Also, fun fact about the border towns: After the American invasion of Mexico was over and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, American filibusters, backed by the US government, kept invading the northern Mexican states (especially Sonora and Baja California) to try to declare themselves presidents, gain their independence, and later join the US as a state. To beef up security, the federal government split Baja California into two states and placed the Baja California capital on the border (Mexicali) so the region could be more populated and they founded more towns all along the US-Mexico border to better repel American invaders. There weren’t just American invaders either, there were French filibusters who attempted to gain control of the region. Also, the flag of Yucatán is recognized now. Jalisco, Yucatán, and Tlaxcala are the only 3 states with an official flag.

Mexico City geograpeep here. Our city/state may be tiny, but it is a huge metropolitan area that bleeds into the neighboring State of Mexico, so much that a normal daily commute takes between one and two hours, no matter if you take public transport or cars. The city is incredible diverse, as you can find chinese, jewish, lebanese, korean, chilenian, argentinian, venezuelan, US, russian and haitiahn people all over. It is also a city of contrasts, both for good and bad. A metro ticket can take you from Polanco, where sky high buildings with Prada, Lamborghini and Apple stores are found to Iztapalapa, where the slums of the city are located. You can see world-class universities that are a few blocks away from traditional towns. We are also the city of culture, as we are the city with most museums in the world, and with cultural events year round, not to mention that when bands do world tours, we are the city to have them, specially under our big concerts Vive Latino and Corona Capital. And in food, we may be the butt of the joke for the rest of the country with our Quesadillas without cheese and our Tamal sandwiches, but we have so many things to offer, like the Moles from San Pedro Atocpan, the Tampiqueña steak, and the favourite of all the country: Tacos Al Pastor.

I just learned the story behind the name of the Guerrero state. It was always intriguing to me why it was literally called “Warrior” (Spanish-English translation).

Yeah, what's not mentioned was that Guerrero was the leader of the THIRD independence movement (Hidalgo and Morelos both completely failed) but held very little lands. It was when there's a constitutional change in Spain, the colonialists decided to switch sides and joined Guerrero's forces. They created the 3 guarantees for independence, with Guerrero being the one who included racial equality in it. He's also possibly part-black and thus was Mexico's first and only black president. He's then later assassinated.
