Hello! Hola! Do supermarkets in mexico accept coupons?
Paulisima is actually my favorite teacher
Muchísimas gracias!!!
Why?
@@Kitiwake idk i think shes just sweet and funny
I lòve the heart shaped birthmark on her cheek
My Méxican girlfriend and I went to Cancun. I'm English. I had no idea about the toilets and that was probably the biggest shock I had. Hahaha. My girlfriend found that hilarious 👀
Other than that, México was truly beautiful. I was fortunate to see many places on my visit. The people are so much kinder than here. I recommend anyone to visit there.
I can't wait to go back! Though I don't miss the roads 😅
I think rule #7 is true anywhere in the world, not just Mexico. Foreigners are NOT allowed to disrespect whatever country they happen to be visiting, it's just a good idea not to trash your hosts or anything of theirs.
Paulisimo- You are a wonderful maestra and I enjoy all your Spring Spanish videos. Gracias por compartirlos.
Muchas gracias por tu vídeo. I traveled to Mexico numerous times between 2004 and 2013, and made friends in Sonora and Veracruz. On my first tour the Mexican guide warned everyone in my tourist group as we stopped in Chiapas not to take photographs without first asking permission, and always expect a "no" from the adults, but the youngsters would probably be more agreeable to having their photos taken. Very wise advice, (as one very arrogant French man learned to his cost). And actually the children were friendly, happy and fascinated to see themselves on my digital camcorder screen. The older adults were extremely suspicious of having their photos taken, and nearly all refused. Understandable when you know their history. The same guide jokingly asked us to refrain from calling any senoritas "mi mango" if we did want to end up married to a local girl. Also the tap water in Cordoba, Veracruz is not potable, I was called "loco" by the locals when I attempted to drink tap water, but the discolouration and bits of cockroaches I saw in the tap water soon made me stop. Yes, I have used public toilets in Cordoba, that had signs about not flushing, but I was already aware of that as I was staying with a local family where the toilet paper was placed in a bin each day and then disposed as rubbish early each morning. Which was far different to my stays at the Fiesta Americana in Mexico City or the "All inclusive hotels" in Cancun. My favourite Mexican Cities are still Campeche and Merida, and the food in those places are delicious. I still struggle to hold a long conversations in Spanish, but that is because the natives speak "muy rapido", and my brain hits a brickwall sometimes in translating their words and slang. But I have made a lot of progress from those early trips. Keep up the good work.
I saw the bucket next to a toilet at a Denny's in Bakersfield California.
I wish I'd been more prepared for that visual
love this one. So glad you covered these points. Por fin!
Your videos are funny and enjoyable to watch.
Good-informative!!!
Turkish side of Cyprus has the same toilet rules; thanks for the video we are heading to Zihua next week and your video has been a wonderful primer on manners.
¡Hola Paulisima! I have visited Mexico many times because of my interest in pre-columbian civilisations and societies such as Maya, Toltecs, Aztecs, Olmec, Mextica etc. I have met many wonderful people from Sonora in the North to Cancun in the South. I would not advise anyone to drink tap water in Cordoba, Veracruz. And yes, all public toilets and domestic toilets (except hotels) have buckets, and signs not to flush "papel de baño) or the house-owners will advise accordingly. Good video and sensible advice. My number one rule, always be respectful of local people and their rules and guidelines. Chiapas is a prime example, wonderful people, but if they say no to taking photographs or camcorder videos, just except the fact that you are a "guest" in their country and comply with their requests. Actually most young people will agree to photographs if asked politely.
Tienes una sonrisa muy bonita! You are wonderful! Muchas gracias!
oye, la mera verdad, si me encantó tu vídeo amiga, saludos de Aguascalientes
GRacias Emiliano :D Tengo muchas ganas de conocer tu estado :D
Excellent program on UA-cam 👍
That nationalist part was very true, dated a girl from Jalisco who was ready to die on that hill whenever criticism was levied at México
Love your handle BTW really funny! :D
Me gusta tus videos con mas español, gracias! I like the signs with the Spanish phrases, please leave them on the screen longer~
You have a great smile!
Muchas gracias 🙂 justo estoy haciendo un vídeo 💯 en español. Do keep los consejos coming!!
My wife and I were in Chapala this January for 2 weeks. The owner of the AirBnB asked us to not put paper in the toilet. We also used bottled water while there. We loved the area and we're moving the at the beginning of May for at least 1 year.
This is very common to me as we have an old septic tank with older pipes and we do not flush paper for this reason. Even in the US. 😊
I liked your lecture related to travel
Good sense of humor.
Thank you
Querida Paulisima , hace muchos anos un amigo de mi familia , mejor que mi , fue a Mexico y se caso con una mujer que se parece a ti .Hoy viven en Grecia. Entonces ? tu eres a typical mujer de Mexico?? El agua puede estar limpio pero puede enfermar a un turista. En grecia tampien no puedes throw papeles en el linodoro .En Grecia sientamos muy felizes hablar la lengua de nuestros turistas.
Todo el gente sabe hablar ingles. Ahora estoy muy feliz escuchando tu leccion . Muchas gracias
Ambergris island Belize , don’t flush the toilet paper:-) Thanks for sharing.
Heard about the no toilet paper in toilets from a number of UA-cam channels. One of them was Wolters World.
You nailed this. Great lesson. Learn how to fold over the toilet paper in the can so it hides you know what. Haha.
OMG!!! I wish everyone had the common sense (and manners!) to do that!!!! It's like; we know what's there, but we don't HAVE TO see it!!! hahaha!!
Let's not generalize but most Mexicans throw the paper into the toilet
Supongo que en muchos lugares sí se puede tomar el agua de la llave pero he vivido en Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz y Yucatán y en todos los lugares de México que yo conozco la gente tiene sus garrafones de agua rellenables y de allí toman agua. Ósea sí hay gente que toma agua de la llave pero no la mayoría y yo siempre entendía que era por cuestion de salud.
Exactamente :) así es también en Cancún
I'm thinking of Living in Mexico not sure when but I want too...
If you are outside of the tourist areas, you may encounter Banos where there are no seats or flushing mechanisms. Usually, there will be a large container of water nearby with a small bucket. Scoop water and pour it into the toilet, and it will flush. The first time I ran into this, a little girl showed me what to do. And if something is confusing, ask for help. People are very kind.
Greece also has a 'do not flush paper' rule
Solo por curiosidad, ¿se usan los bidés en México en absoluto? Compré uno un par de meses después de la pandemia debido a la escasez de papel higiénico en las tiendas. No puedo imaginar vivir sin uno ahora.
Tengo planes de asistir a una escuela de español para extranjeros en Cuernavaca para mejorar mi español, pero tengo que esperar hasta que esta pandemia esté mejor controlada. Vives con una familia mientras estás allí, por lo que estás inmerso en el idioma las 24 horas del día. Puedo leer y escribir el idioma, pero tengo problemas para hablarlo.
no tires nada en la taza they said the same thing in Hong Kong Taiwan and Thailand
The first time I visited San Miguel, my landlady told me not to do it. The building is old & near Centro. Also, I lived on a large boat for some time& I did not flush the paper! Now, in my neighborhood in San Miguel, some people do and some people don’t. I have gotten in the habit, so I don’t!
¿Las tezas pueden tratar con heces pero no papel? Me parece extraño. ¿En realidad es el papel que es diferente?
Vivo en San Miguel de Allende, GTO, MX. Nunca en los baños públicos enjuagué el papel, y en algunas casas de las partes más antiguas de la ciudad esto no está permitido. ¡Un pequeño precio a pagar por vivir en esta maravillosa ciudad!
I had to pause the video at 1:10 and laugh for about 5 mins....🤣🤣
¡Paulisima es muy bella!

dackoes or tockoes is there a difference between "t" and "d"
No papel en el toilet. All over Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Northern Arizona.

So mexico does not have a water works system like other countries.
and if a block of ice is solid blue, do not drink from it.
few places use cisterns.
I like to follow Mexican weather. Will the high today be 25, or 27, I must know.
I built our house in rural Pennsylvania which required a well and leach bed. Our home for 30 years we never flushed paper and never had a problem either. I think it should be a universal standard. No big deal.
Living in southeast Asia specifically in the Philippines and not throwing paper in the toilet bowl is very common in other terms those whose just crazy will definitely do that hahaha
I've the flushing paper things, all over Colombia, ecuador y los otros paises.
I don't think mains water is stored in tanks, profe. Viene directo de afuera, no?
yes the toilet paper in the bin is very common. after living in Asia, I became very use to this, but they also use bum guns/bidets, which is a marvelous invention that I wish existed everywhere!
CCada año vamos irnos a un campamiento privado donde nos pedían no poner el papel en el inodoro.
It's funny, I live FT in an RV and most of us who live in RVs never put toilet paper in the toilet. We have a little covered garbage bin by the toilet. I've also seen that in the Philippines.
Hello Phylana!! :) What's FT and RV?
@@paulisimafromspringspanish1762 Oh I see hahaha RV hahhaha sorry I totally missed on this one
Recien, yo visite amigos mios cuales estaban en el monte y la costa de Costa Rica, donde no hay hoteles, sino a veces systemas de agua potable, pues no hay systemas sanitarias. Todos usan systemas de compuesto, y todas funcionan bien. (Yo conoci a un agricultor Cubano qien me deci que eso es tambien muy comun en Cuba.) Despues de un terremoto en Esmeraldas, cuando la ciudad mas cercanita a donde mis amigos fue casi destruido en total, mis amigos fueron pa ayudar la gente, y la cosa ma importante fue construir systemas sanitarios de compuesto, pa' que no usan mucha agua- solo para lavar los manos.
i have been blessed to travel and not flushing paper in the toilet is in most of the world... it seems its only common to throw paper into the toilet is in the u.s.
DESDE GRECIA muchio amor vos quieremos
She's adorable 🥰
and learn the exchange rate,
what is it, divide USD by 14 and multiply by 7 for Pasos?
It’s about twenty pesos per 1 USD. Divide the amount of pesos by half and move the decimal one place and you have the equivalent in USD.
Can you please translate “te amo”?
JUST ASKING....
If you have to throw "dirty" toilet paper into a trash can, doesn't it smell bad in the bathrooms?
It isn't emptied for awhile, it must get pretty bad in a closed room... No?
So if I drink from a TAZA, am I drinking toilet water or tea?
When I lived in Guatemala, it was a big no-no to put papel en la taza.
En Venezuela, Colombia, México, Perú, Ecuador... Cuando bajes a Latinoamérica, no lo hagas.
And you just mentioned another good reason to move to the Jalisco area - burritos! Lol.
Love your channel!
the button "Yes ... send me the Spanish Chunking Kit" doesnt work
What other countries have you lived in?
Hahaha Malaysia and Switzerland ;)
Country Septic and children it is a must to not put paper in the toilet.
Holaaaa, soy frances y creo que estoy listo para venir en este formidable pais. Es mas interesante de hablar de los mayas, aztecas olmecas etc.. no ? 🇲🇽😍
Oh! podría hacer un video sobre eso :D
I learned in Haiti not to flush the tp.
We also do that birthday parties in America drink alcohol
I grew up in a Mexican household in the US and the 1st time I found out when people throw toilet paper in the bin is when I invited Mexican guest and after the party is over I see a lot of paper just throw on the side lleno de (tú sabes) 😂 because my family don't do that but now some of them do but I still don't even when I go to Mexico.
I haven't been to Mexico in 6 years but hopefully I'll go this summer but obviously not to do some ridiculo things what you said lol
I came here to mejorar mi Espanol; además yo encontré la profesora celestial y classes de Engles
Ay muchas gracias Hilar :)
Don't drink the water NO MATTER WHAT

Chiquitito chiquitito Tlaxcala. XD
es en serio? yo soy todo mexicano y muero cada vez que tomo agua de la llave. que te pasa? esta es como mi 27va vida
Estoy aprendiendo español but it seems when native speakers speak they speak at a speed of 3 billion words a minute and I get lost. My ears need to learn to listen faster I guess. Gracias
In India no flushing paper either. No problem.
I was a teacher at a preschool which had many children who only spoke spanish. One little girl would always throw her t.p. into the trash can instead of down the toilet.
I get grossed out by someone leaving a brown mark on a public toilet bowl. Im not sure how I would survive a bucket of pooh stains... 🤮. A very useful tip, that way I now know I need to do all my toiletting before going out.
I've seen the TP thing right here in California. Plenty of Mexicans are here, and some are fresh off the boat. But in areas near dariies you see this sigh a lot. (not to mention the stink of those soiled papers produce) But the TP might get loose and float in the wind to where a cow will find it and eat it. Thus soiling her milk. Que lastima!
Slap me👋, wake me up....Soñando contigo😋😘
Hahaha! "despiertate!!"
I saw the bucket thing next to the toilet when I was in Puerto Rico.
Dicen Mexicanos "taza" en vez de inodoro?
Si
Me gustas mucho!
:) hola Natanael!!!
Tacos dorados. Well, now you've made me to hungry to continue. I'll be back...
Alrighty then I'm back... and seeing as she had to warn us not flip off religious sculptures. That means she probably knows of somebody who already has. This type of behavior is why every thing has to have warning labels on them.
😂 you know I'm a big label reader? Hehe!!
10:00
fish swim, mexicans drink
Wow! I was so tempeted to make a list of what not to do in the USA when you are from South of the Border. However, I don't want to hurt feelings.
Hahaha we tough ;)
Be very afraid of the water, but bottled water.
Dont dont dont, every video. What CAN we do?
They seem to be "Mexi-cant's" instead of "Mexi-cans"...
LOL - Oh No! no hardshell tacos? You're too funny in your discussion of food. You mentioned California; I'm originally from California, and yes, much of what people call "Mexican Food" is not quite authentic.

old houses and buildings in the U.S. have old pipes and the smart people do not flush the paper.
but toss it in bathroom trash can.
idiots clog the toilets and why stores have no public toilets.
We can fly across the planet, we have rockets that go into space and we can EVEN increase the planets temperature with the cleanest running fossil fuel vehicles ever, but we can NOT create an adequate plumbing system to handle degradable toilet paper? We deserve to go the way of the dinosaurs! LOL
pesadillas gramaticales! jajajajajajajaja! como el maldito subjuntivo pues?
As a citizen from the United States, I apologize (on behalf of U.S. Americans) for the past and in advance for this behavior. Public peeing, vandalizing, language entitlement and unsolicited cultural/political critique are things that U.S. Americans do all of the time-inside and outside of the U.S. It seems silly to have to give this advice but it literally happens all of the time. I just know it. jajaja.
Hey Christopher! Thanks for your comment :D I gotta say that my fellow Mexicans often misbehave when traveling abroad (specially true when it comes to international sports events hehehe)
5;07
yeah! you do not pay people to sing, you pay them to stop make noise with thier face.
that is why mori-ochi wear black, they killed music !
Thanks for your Video's u a beautiful I want to marry u I sing or married
7;52
to die for?..... use a better phrase.
I think you'd have to be loco to visit Mexico...besides, if you're an American, why visit when it looks like Mexico is coming to us right here
Limpio el culto con dedo.....no nnecesita paper.
