What is Tipping Culture in Mexico Like? | The cost of traveling in Mexico

[@dwmoreair885]

Well done Yuka. Awesome videos

[@MTBZenMaster]

Yuka! Love that you're experimenting with transitions. Nice edit. But uh oh.. did you forget about your Coke budget??😂😂

[@VanGirlYuka]

I know I should've counted how many we drank! yes, I should've

[@tomprevost2477]

Had details on everything like ice-cream but nothing on Coke?@@VanGirlYuka

[@Patriciostar09]

Hola Yuka, hace poco que descubrí tú canal, me encanta. Super apenado de las malas experiencias que vivieron en México, espero eso no los desanime a regresar y espero coincidir con ustedes y mostrarles algunas pistas de ciclismo. Saludos.

[@HASHlRAMA]

The bagging groceries job is mainly for elders or kids, it is a way for those groups to get money even though most people agree it is not very useful. The other tipping situations are annoying for the most part.

[@tone34]

I love your videos, they have a nice vibe about them.

[@troyallen5806]

Agree. There is certainly something and vibe works

[@VanGirlYuka]

Vibe! Nice! Thank you

[@cellphonenut]

Great bookeeping Yuka🤔 Not many people can say their 71 day holiday cost less than 5 large !!

[@kevinlooney8200]

Cheaper than a week in Hawaii. Well done guys 👌

[@aliikane]

Very interesting. Great breakdown and explanations. I look at my travels the same way. It is almost more inexpensive to travel than stay home because at home you just buy a bunch of stuff. lol.

[@paraicj]

So thorough, great video!

[@taffycymroukmtb9073]

Eric and Yuka you Enjoyed Mexico Nice Food plenty of Cakes 🍰 Sound good price and Wee get to watch nice Video of you both and Mexico 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@stokedriders5184]

Hey thanks for breakdown of the cost of your adventure Yuka! I'll be looking out for that bike build for sure. Bye for now from New Zealand 🤘🥝🤘

[@craigmaddison8254]

Nice, love the intro. Looking forward to the bike build video.

[@xtoonniix]

Love your videos Yuka! Im from michoacan you guys are allways wellcome here love you guys

[@rubenbarcenas589]

the tips in Mexico its a kind of help for the people, cause they don't have a salary, it's a informal job, so is your choise if you can help give tip if not, no problem!! i´m proud for you, you broke the legent about Mexico is a dangerous country, i hope you will back and continue eating mexican food, it the better food! nice video Yuka and Erick,

[@ramonespino5579]

Gracias for visit us...Ruben thas all

[@mountaintime4276]

Good info. Can’t wait for the build!

[@scotti_wan_kenobi]

So good seeing you guys back in green forests.

[@Deunde1108]

Can't wait to see the new bike!👍😉🤳

[@wordreet]

Cheap as chips when you consider that there's a suite in a hotel in London that is priced at £26,000.00 per night. That's $ 31,858.06 Although you do get your own butler, or, presumably, lady in waiting, with the suite. Oh plus a Rolls Royce and chauffeur for the duration of your stay.

[@jakemtb674]

Nice, you record all of that. Good job

[@Y_Not1]

Your videos always look so good. Thanks for sharing.😎👍🌹🌹Great channel // New friend stay connected

[@grandadan]

Here making friends! Love the way you do it! Let's meet in my zone!

[@singletrackmania1]

That was cool ... somehow you managed to make this fun! LOL ... What about the wear on the van? (oil, tires etc)

[@VanGirlYuka]

None! We changed the oil just before getting into Mexico👍

[@Graptos]

Did you include the “tofu soup”? 😉 Glad you guys had a good time, and we need more bakery visit videos. 😋

[@fourthdeconstruction]

GUYS in Mexico you should tip 15% to waiters as they don't have a salary. Bagers at the supermarket, there is not a rule but knowing that they do not get pay by the supermarket you should always tip something depends on the number of items. If you don't have just let them know and thank them. Gas attendants, yes they get some money from the gas station but they do not get a lot and they have a lot of responsibility as they hold the money for the gas but you should also give them a tip. There are some guys in large cities that help you park your car by giving you instructions such as turn the wheel left, right or stop. I must admit sometimes they are annoying but we try to help as they are older. Also, Mexico is going thru a weird time as the new prez is a populist and socialist. So the whole country is starting to fall into anarchy and this is the case with road tolls being taken by groups of people with the wrong idea that all the roads should be free. The roads with tolls were built by private companies. They have the permit to operate those roads until they recuperate their investment plus some interest after that the government will be responsible for the roads so it is unfair for the private investors that those roads are being hijacked and this prez is not doing anything about it. The new prez has also opened the southern boarder and now mexico is facing a massive immigration problem. Millions are unhappy and this past weekend in mexico city 30,000 people protested so that he quits the job. he has been in power only 5 months! I hope you understand a little bit more about the tolls.

[@robertograndrade6899]

Not really the place for political BS. I am Mexican and it has been pretty much the same ever since I was born. Anyway, Thank you yuka and Eric forthe Mexico series. I loved the videos. Thank you for the insight in our culture. It is always refreshing to have a different point of view of the things you live everyday. Cheers y'all.

[@PaulThePunter]

Eruc and I are on the same page about tipping :).....wait didn't we have a very long conversation about this? Haha

[@VanGirlYuka]

Lol I believe many people are the same page about tipping

[@socrispy7114]

these videos are so great....

[@Srt3D01-db-01]

wow thats was quite a roadtrip

[@lilnorthshoreshredder4624]

I second Zen Master, how much did you spend on Coke? That parking ticket was super cheap!!!

[@lefterakas2750]

Hi Yuka any info about Eurotrip?

[@VanGirlYuka]

Ship our van to Europe is our goal right now! but not this year...

[@alexcrescencio4503]

It is not mandatory to tip anyone in Mexico. It's nice if you tip those services that are well done, but not mandatory. In tourist sites they do expect tips, but that's because gringos brought that concept into Mexico. I'm Mexican and I don't tip in tourist sites and specially musicians. I guess I'm a cheap Mexican 😁 Although, I do get to tip guy or kid bagging my groceries and buy stuff from kids on the streets. (I guess I'm not that cheap 😉)

[@victorperez4881]

Wow I did not know about tipping the bag person. I wonder if that's all over Mexico and in even in the big grocery stores🤔

[@troyallen5806]

When I was a teenager I worked at an army base commissary in the US bagging/boxing groceries for a summer and it was all for tips.

[@tomprevost2477]

Know one tips gas attendants in Oregon. You can rest easy.

[@alexanderlowe4236]

I don't think most people tip the gas station attendants in Oregon. I have occasionally but usually because they washed my windshield. I don't think I would have considered health or auto insurance for a trip to Mexico. Just not something I had even thought about, but it seems like a good idea.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I think auto insurance is very important in Mexico. Eric was really stressed out by driving. They have different driving rules and a lot of road bumps.

[@Criskat]

Yuka did you visit Lagos de Moreno?

[@VanGirlYuka]

I don't think we did. Is it good place?

[@Criskat]

@@VanGirlYuka its a really beatiful place to enjoy a good day and of course it has some nice trails 😀

[@grantfeddema5332]

That’s very reasonable for a 71 day trip

[@CJinsoo]

I don't tip in Oregon for gas. Should allow self-service.

[@jonthemountainbikingviking4127]

You don't have to tip the window washers or musicians. I ignore them. The grocery baggers definitely should be tipped.

[@mulucpax]

In México the tips are not in the law like in USA. Is your decision if you want to tip someone or not.

[@MMDX70]

It's a law to tip in USA? People go to jail in USA if dont tip?

[@sharkboyjuan]

Tipping is optional.

[@Epluribusunom6166]

🙏

[@SickAlpha]

very cheap! like a 30 USD per person at day!!.

[@thebeardofpepe]

How much did you spend on Coke?

[@VanGirlYuka]

I totally forgot about it! Yes, I should've take a record of coke expense! I will do it from now on

[@thebeardofpepe]

Van Girl Yuka 😅 great job on the videos and content! Keep it up! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@NerdsonDirtMTB]

SOMEONE STOLE YOUR VISOR!! =P

[@kojisaito9385]

ハイオク（笑）

[@VanGirlYuka]

ハイオクですよね？

[@quinnduffy6689]

You guys only spent $2.15 to poop and pee for 71 days? I'd spend that in an afternoon.

[@VanGirlYuka]

We paid 5 times for toilet only when it's emergency otherwise we try to find free toilet like Starbucks or library. If we pay 5 pesos for a poop, we rather spend the 5 pesos for a bakery

[@quinnduffy6689]

@@VanGirlYuka haha, bakery. Good call. Although it made me realize that every poop for me is an emergency.

[@Kikyo0Takarai]

2-3 pesos a bag??? I never give the grocery bag person more than 5 pesos omg you guys are getting scammed all over the place here. If you don't agree to let them clean your car don't give them money, same with the musicians! They do it with tourists because you are too kind and give them money anyway.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Yeah, it'd be really nice if we knew someone local there. We got so many questions!

[@HaTran-mc8ws]

So cheap😀😀

[@cellphonenut]

You mean like taxes in the US?? Yes go ahead and say it-exstortion
