Brother I love the amount of love, respect and appreciation you have shown for Mexico as the wonderful country it is. My dad is a several generation Mexican American as I am. But my mother is from Mexico (Xochitepec Morelos and Mexico City) and I was blessed to visit every summer and Christmas throughout my childhood and they are the best memories of my childhood life.
Yes sir it was I'm 38 now and I finally went again this past spring break for the first time in 20 years and it was just as beautiful as ever, a little more crowded. You should visit Xochitepec and Chiconcuac Morelos, if you ever get a chance such a charming area. My wife and six year old daughter loved it.
I think your channel is one of the best portraits of the “real” México, is not about fancy or trending spots, but about the everyday life of mexican as I am have Well done ^^
Luis De la torre I say that because the trump thing has scared Mexicans and Latinos in general from going to the the USA plus Mexicans can travel to Canada with out a visa
I've been living in USA since 2003, and like you, I enjoy the best of two countries....and the deal with some of the worst too. However I don't complain about it, I've been blessed with a wonderful life. I want to thank you for embrace our culture and idiosyncrasy. I've been watching your videos and I'm always amazed for the way you approach every little detail of the daily basis life of Mexicans. You're awesome bro. God bless you for what you do showing the world the real Mexico. Please keep it up.
Hey Paul! I enjoy your videos a lot, but mostly because you have an unbiased point of view. You are open minded, honest and not afraid to try new stuff. You even embrace mexican culture, or at least part of it which is awesome. I believe that people in any country, gets used to everyday life and stops enjoying, taking for granted things that they already have. Thank you for showing our culture to the world, and reminding us how great Mexico is.
I must say you're more Mexican than some Mexicans I know lol, I'm really glad you enjoy so much and embrace being a Mexican because as Chavela Vargas said, "nosotros los mexicanos nacemos donde se nos da la chingada gana." Lol, big hug and my best wishes to you ;)
Jeanette Waverly it doesn't matter where you were born. If you love a certain place that you consider your home and you are working hard for it as a person, then you deserve to be from that place, México, Costa Rica, you name it. Cheers
Hello, Paul. This is one of the most cultural channels I've come across. It definitely lives up to its name: True Mexico. I only wish many of my Mexican country-men (and women, of course) could understand English to enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work you're doing.
“A Developed Country Is One in Which Rich People Use Public Transport”. I’m a Mexican living in The Netherlands and unless I really have to, I don’t use the car. There’s virtually no need to use it, but there’s no comparison point of course. Good video.
Seyerseyer I think that's where Mexico wants to go in the future they indeed have plans for a hyper loop and the tren Toluca will be opened to the public by the end of 2018
i live in United states, its a cultural thing, because here we are a "first world" and its the same as Mexico, people rather not use public transportation, because it has to do with the planning of city lay outs, such as wide streets and wide gaps between businesses, here in USA public transportation is not useful since streets are more useful and faster to get to where you want to go by car, so in the end only people with no cars use public transportation. Trust me with out your own car in USA you are going to have a horrible lifestyle.
Seyerseyer i used to live in the United States and didn't own a car so I used plenty of public transportation. I planned my day according to bus schedules and it worked fine. When people realised I didn't have a car it was a shock to them. They couldn't understand why I didn't have a car since I didn't look poor. I paid a monthly pass for the service. About 50 dollars. The buses were clean and New. Someone actually mentioned public buses were for "homeless people"!
Charcosinagua, I completely agree with you. Its not cultural but attitude. I have lived in NYC and Europe for more than half of my life. When I go to visit my relatives I take the bus because it is so convenient and cheap, and safer than a taxi. I wish Mexicans would stop showing off what they don't have and instead become bikers to improve their environment, economics and become less fat.
Congratulations tío Paul, you've got a great channel, I love how you portrait the real Mexico with its good and not so good sides... very impressed for how well you've understood Mexican culture!!
I really enjoy your videos, sometimes when I get disappointed with Mexican society I watch a couple of your videos and I realize that Mexico is not a bad place to live in. Keep up the good work!
I love how you depict my country and city, I thank you for showing a different side of Mexico, I've being watching your videos for a short time but you have earned my subscription.
I love your videos! I'm a Mexican living in China and watching you makes me nostalgic :'), miss so much my country and am happy to see foreigners can enjoy it too!
Awesome! On reason I started True Mexico was because I used to live in Beijing. I'd watch China vlogs (and still do) and feel that nostalgia. So I thought do it for Mexico. Where in China are you?
Am living in Beijing! Been here for a year and a half and can't come back until I finish my masters haha. I was thinking of filming videos to show a bit of China but I lack the dedication you have!
Hello there true Mexico,thank you for your lovely videos!😍 Living in a foreign country made me appreciate my beautiful ,amazing country Mexico. Thank you again,cheers!!!!!!
Hola Paul, me parecen muy buenos tus videos, este en particular me parece excelente no sólo por el costumbrismo que muestras acerca de México, sino por la forma en la que retratas el malinchismo y el clasismo en este país! Puedo comentarte que conozco amigos que no se suben a un camión o microbus por mero clasismo, aunque en ocasiones no tengan para pagar la mensualidad de su coche o de la gasolina misma. Culturalmente México es muy rico, aunque todas esas campañas de marketing que se hacen para consumir marcas extranjeras antes que marcas locales, sí marea a muchos! Ojalá pudieras venir a Puebla, yo podría cooperarte con alojamiento y un sofá para dormir! Jajajajaja, saludos.
Here having breakfast watching True México ;) I know! How can you refuse unos tacos al pastor? I can't! And there's is food stands that are waaay better (and cheaper) than restaurants! For example, where I live sea food is very común and in proper restaurants all dishes are very expensive but there's a street place that have every dish of a restaurant way cheaper and all is very delicious! My bf and I love that place and we never have been sick eating there. Also yeah malinchismo is very común, Even more in the states closer to the border. :/
Great video, really nice from you appreciating the Mexican culture! Let's hope this makes more Mexicans proud of their Country. (which is really needed) I will subscribe to your channel.
Enjoyed your video as always. I’m an expat in Baja California and me siento en casa en México. I’m very happy that we have a great PR guy like yourself showing the true beauty of living the simple life in what I consider the best part about living here. I just hope that we don’t get too many expats like myself or we might lose the essence of what makes this country so great, the people, the food, the culture, and the values of hard work which most of the time go unnoticed. Well done!
meli sol “uppity place?” That does not compute. LOL We’re pretty laid back here and it’s mostly middle-class for the most part. Here in Ensenada we just enjoy the weather, the food, the craft beers, and the incredible wines produced here. I hope you get to experience Ensenada. Saludos
Nice Videos like always Paul and I've seen your channel grown Rapidly, last time I checked you had like 38k Subscribers and now you have more than 44k Subscribers.... You've gained many Subscribers really quick, keep up the good work Amigo Británico 👍👍😌😌
True Mexico Wow you remember that, maybe that's why your channel has grown so much let's hope that when your channel grows more you'll be able to do videos all over Mexico, because that's the future of the Channel Right Paul 😌😌💚🇲🇽💚
Solo los mamones no comen en la calle XD. Gracias por mostrar mi mexico lindo y querido; es cierto aquello que exaltan lo extranjero sobre lo mexicano son llamados malinchistas.
Nicolás Rucoba Puedes comer grasa el problema es comer la siempre a nadie no hace daño comer comida así de rica pero el problema es cuando comes demasiada y si hay gente mamona que no lo hace pero es cosa de cada quien
Pues en mi familia casi nunca acostumbramos a comer en la calle somos de michoaca y por lo regular en el trabajo uno lleva su comida para su hora del almuerzo además en mi familia aún hacen tortillas a mano y comida rica y cuando se nos antoja alguna garnacha pues la hacemos no compramos la vida en otros estados es muy diferente a la capital
A good tip whenever you're in a new city,town or area and want to try street food, go to the stand with the most people. theyre the locals and know the food is good, itll be worth the wait.
Hey Paul do a video talking about you, how did you came to Mexico? Why mexico ? Do you wanna make a life in Mexico or will you go back to the UK ? That would be interesting :) Saludos Paul
I didn't even knew the "Malinchista" termn, and I'm a mexican living in mexico city, so thanks. Discovered your chanel yesterday and I'm in loved with it.
I really admire your openness of mind, tolerance and willing to experience, enjoy and embrace what you have chosen to be your life. I’m amazed of how much I have learn about CDMX form videos like yours, considering I lived there for almost 35 years!
Good morning Paul, we just celebrated Thanksgiving it is a beautiful day, we gave thanks for what we feel grateful. I totally agree with you, when I go to Mexico I use public transportation because I don't drive in Mexico, it is so cheap and efficient, some people is surprise that I use it. Living in Los Angeles, public transportation is horrible, so inefficient, you must have a car to get around. Having a car to me is not a luxury but a necessityI don't like to spend my money at franchise stores , I rather eat local, they have so many great food and I love the street vendors. Street vendors are very hardworking people, little entrepreneurs. About malinchistas, I always say if they would only copy the good things from other countries Mexico will be better than what it is now. There is always room for improvement, reduction of plastic, those plastic bags that they use with the plates, lots of that trash ends on the sewer. Let's all cooperate and keep the streets clean.Thank you for pointing out, the good things that many don't appreciate.
Impressing the way you talk about our country , you are now part of us , really man at least my self I want to say I really appreciate the way you express your self about the land of Cuauhtémoc, May god bless you and keep on the good work, you only talk the truth, saludos de Ensenada Baja California , if you ever come down here let us know so we can welcome you the way you deserve. Saludos carnal.
Awesome video. I love your perspective about Mexico. I'm glad you appreciate the fact you love our culture and country. One of the things I miss the most is those taco stands and the public transportation. Living in the USA for so long, made appreciate the things back home. Looking fprwardnto keep watching your videos.
I'm a mexican that hasn't been there for a quite long while, and enjoy watching your videos about the city I was born and raised. Keep up the good Job!
MALINCHE, she is like the Mexican version of POCAHONTAS, she was Cortez lover. I'm a very old man, and I proudly say that 99% of Mexican people don't know what racism is; in all my life I never saw an act of racism or racist hate crimes and that says a lot. You're Mexican and that's what matters most. However to be true and honest our society is very classist.. ( although humble and lower economic class people's doesn't give a shit about this) ...and prejudice, money and status makes a big difference mostly among the wealthy mestizo people ( the same person will receive a different treatment according with his statusr or education degree, although in Mexican northern cities near the USA border line this is not a big deal and social status is not so evidently ) The roots of this prejudice comes from the Spaniard attitude towards the natives at the central area of Mexico ; they called them wrongly " Indians" because Columbus thought he discovered another route to India, and also as an despised name. This classist prejudice explains a lot of things like the traditional European rampant corruption and this video on wealthy people attitudes toward public transportation. About " La Malinche ", she wasn't the only native who helped the Spanish soldiers, other tribes were at war against the Aztec and helped Cortez to defeat Aztecs ; and Malinche original town was oppressed by the Aztecs. She was the most famous of all of them and because she was very intelligent and served as a language translator, and helped Cortez as a interpret and adviser in order to defeat the Aztecs. Her original and native name was Malintzin or Mallinalli, she was a very intelligent and beautiful woman and trilingual ; she spoke Mayan, Nahuatl and Spanish and the Spaniard troops changed and Spanished her name to " Doña Marina " as a deference and sign of respect ( at that times was inconceivably to give a native the "Don" or "Doña prefix ). That's why we call " Malinchista " ( Malinche follower) to someone who prefer and praise other cultures and imported products, traditions or attitudes over the Mexican ones. There's not much information about La Malinche. Townsend's book "Malinche choices" is a good start to English speakers. I suggest to read about La Malinche, a very interesting and fascinating historical personality.
Hola Paul: ) I love my culture yes but at the same I like to try foreign products,the problem is when we start to have prejudices about our own country or others, the sport man wow I didn't know his story, thumbs up hasta luego : D
Thanks for sharing the story about Goyo. But its really sad that he needs to preform in the street to make some extra cash. Best wishes to Goyo, and you as well ✌️
Jesus Osvaldo Broch yo uso la ruta y la verdad que es mejor que usar taxi o Uber porque suelen ser caros, es normal que haya peligro pero en zonas o calles peligrosas , solo es estar atento
Excellent video! You perfectly summed up this somewhat complicated topics. And you filmed this literally blocks away from my house, maybe one day I’ll run into you in the street. Keep it up Paul!
Viene al caso decir que siempre me pregunto, ¿por qué tantos de ustedes escriben comentarios en inglés aquí si es más que muy evidente que Paul preferiría leerlos en español?
Abraham F Porque es evidente que no hace éste canal para nosotros, sino para angloparlantes. Si fuera para nosotros hablaría en español como los de WeroTV. Estoy seguro que al propio Paul le sorprendió en su momento el éxito obtenido con sus seguidores locales.✌
I really enjoyed this video, I have been living here in Mexico for five years and I do the same things you do in my everyday life, I appreciate you showing this side so that people can understand that this is a rich country full surprises, Subscribed!!!
+Diego Romero Thanks! I'm asked all the time. First, Mexico is the star and not me. Second, unlike many UA-camrs, I'm not seeking personal attention nor get excited by it :)
Wow, dude...I got emotional during Goyo's montage, thank you so much. I was born in the U.S. because my parents came when they were young adults for a better life. I am glad things are getting better over there and if my job ever permitted me to move there some day, I definitely would.
1. Public transport is uncomfortable, uncouth. 2. You don't want to be surrounded by dirty, smelly poor people. 3. You don't want to show your wealth to those people because they may mug you, kidnap you or kill you. This is how richer (or those who think they are) people think in Mexico. This tradition gets less pronounced as you go further north in the country, where you'll notice there's less classism.
doll eyes Jaja. Lo mismo pensé, que era sarcasmo. ¿Que no hay clasismo en el norte? Me ha tocado ver como tratan en Monterrey o en Tijuana a los oaxaqueños que están tratando de emigrar. Ni los gringos los tratan tan mal y con tanto racismo.
Es muy interesante como México se te ha metido debajo de la piel..... Más por el hecho de que vienes de Inglaterra y has vivido en Japón y otros lugares considerados como primer mundo..... Sitios que son aspiracionales para muchos mexicanos....y sin embargo es México el que te ha parecido más ad oc con tu cosmología personal para vivir y gozar la vida...... No digo que México es mejor ni que aquí te quedarás.... Pero si es muy interesante re marcar ese hecho, porque como tu mencionas, muchos de nuestros compatriotas piensan que otros sitios son mejor que México, pero no tienen la experiencia de vivir bajo el yugo de una mentalidad cuadrada y asfixiante, de la cual huyen muchos.....y si..... Escribo compatriotas incluyendo te a ti...... México no es sólo un país, sino una filosofía de vida.......y nadie lo aprecia mejor, que los mexicanos que vienen de fuera.
Interesting channel...just subbed. Respect for not showing your face. No ego. And respect for the complimentary posts by Mexican people. Well done mate.
I´m gonna tell you a fact about discrimination of clases using public transportation using an example. Many years ago like 1800 sth, there was mexican public maker, etc, and also cartoonist, he was José Guadalupe Posada and he used to draw eskeletons moking about mexican politics on newspapers. Then Diego Rivera took that drawing, but now dressed by a beautiful feather coat with an also a nice haty; she´s "La Catrina", better known as "La Calavera Garbancera". The word "catrin" means a man well dressed, elegant, and "Garbancera" means that people (especially indigenous) who used to sell garbanza (a seed to cook w/) and they used to pretend they were europeans and denied their race and culture as a mexican, feeling just someone superior. So there is "La Catrina", a mexican skeleton dressing clothes from europe, a not her typical dressing (and just because its and skeleton, mexicans put it on "Día De Muertos", sth I find it wrong). I think, that´s what Diego Rivera tried to tells about the way of thinking of the mexican in Mexico. And I think it still happening, some mexicans dont want to use some transportations because feel superior than others, or because they have more money so they can travel in a "safety" way. But also, because so many foreign companies had been dominating in the city and with tecnology we can relate to another country style, find them cool, and when we go outside, we dont like what we see comparing with another countries. I think that´s how the mexican thinking works.
You added lots of salsa even before you tried it. Lol, you becoming a Mexican.
Ja, I did indeed do that. Life is more fun that way.

Brother I love the amount of love, respect and appreciation you have shown for Mexico as the wonderful country it is.
My dad is a several generation Mexican American as I am.
But my mother is from Mexico (Xochitepec Morelos and Mexico City) and I was blessed to visit every summer and Christmas throughout my childhood and they are the best memories of my childhood life.
Must have been awesome Mexican summers as a child growing up.
Yes sir it was I'm 38 now and I finally went again this past spring break for the first time in 20 years and it was just as beautiful as ever, a little more crowded. You should visit Xochitepec and Chiconcuac Morelos, if you ever get a chance such a charming area.
My wife and six year old daughter loved it.
Thanks for the recommendation :D
I think your channel is one of the best portraits of the “real” México, is not about fancy or trending spots, but about the everyday life of mexican as I am have
Well done ^^
Thanks a lot. Yes, it's all about everyday stuff.
Paul today you really made me cry, I love my country and I thank you that you appreciate my country, you are a mexican already... we love you.
Also many Mexicans are more interested in spending vacations on the U.S. than in Mexico. So I would add "Traveling around Our own country"
Not as of recent most Mexicans rather travel to Europe
Well, I guess that those who can afford it may choose Europe over U.S.
Luis De la torre I say that because the trump thing has scared Mexicans and Latinos in general from going to the the USA plus Mexicans can travel to Canada with out a visa
And the US is so uninteresting, I don't get this.
Que pinche tristeza, pero es verdad.

Hey Paul! I enjoy your videos a lot, but mostly because you have an unbiased point of view. You are open minded, honest and not afraid to try new stuff. You even embrace mexican culture, or at least part of it which is awesome. I believe that people in any country, gets used to everyday life and stops enjoying, taking for granted things that they already have.

Saúl Márquez Rousset totalmente, hay mucha gente enferma de consumismo
@@DRKZL cierto y ni si quiera existe el poder de consumir tan grande
Yo no me subo a los micros por incómodos e inseguros
Please keep doing these videos!!! Happy to have you in our pretty Mexico.
Thanks!
Here having breakfast watching True México ;)
I know! How can you refuse unos tacos al pastor? I can't! And there's is food stands that are waaay better (and cheaper) than restaurants!

That's a great feeling isn't it? Finding those amazing local places :D
True Mexico jajajaj totally! They are delicious and good for your pocket.
Great video, really nice from you appreciating the Mexican culture!
Let's hope this makes more Mexicans proud of their Country. (which is really needed)
I will subscribe to your channel.
Thanks a lot.

A good tip whenever you're in a new city,town or area and want to try street food, go to the stand with the most people. theyre the locals and know the food is good, itll be worth the wait.
Definitely. All about asking the locals.
David Gomez sometimes the food in crowded food joints isnt good just cheap.
Agreed. You have to talk to locals and ask around too.
David Gomez Do they have vegan stands to?
THANK YOU for showing Mexico as it is, I love your channel and I consider you as mexican as me and everyone. Easy subscriber
Thank you! Welcome.
Hey Paul do a video talking about you, how did you came to Mexico? Why mexico ? Do you wanna make a life in Mexico or will you go back to the UK ?
That would be interesting :)
Saludos Paul
How I enjoy your videos! You remind me things I usually forget about my city and people. Things I get for granted and forget how special they are.
Great to know!
Keanu is the exception though. He's actually a very humble person. Most rich New Yorkers would never EVER take public transportation.
Bullshit everyone takes the subway
I didn't even knew the "Malinchista" termn, and I'm a mexican living in mexico city, so thanks. Discovered your chanel yesterday and I'm in loved with it.
9:36 I remember people carried the giant basket of bread on their heads as they walked around selling it around town.
Going deeper in mexican culture. Respect. I have a feeling that some of us, your suscribers, are actually following you in your journey.
Now let's see the other side of the coin. Things you DON'T DO in Mexico (that many Mexicans do)
+Alan Jaguar Good idea!
Tu canal es muy interesante, Pablito. Te hace ver a México con perspectiva.
First! Greetings tio Paul 😉
Hola mijo!!!
I really admire your openness of mind, tolerance and willing to experience, enjoy and embrace what you have chosen to be your life. I’m amazed of how much I have learn about CDMX form videos like yours, considering I lived there for almost 35 years!
Good morning Paul, we just celebrated Thanksgiving it is a beautiful day, we gave thanks for what we feel grateful. I totally agree with you, when I go to Mexico I use public transportation because I don't drive in Mexico, it is so cheap and efficient, some people is surprise that I use it. Living in Los Angeles, public transportation is horrible, so inefficient, you must have a car to get around. Having a car to me is not a luxury but a necessityI don't like to spend my money at franchise stores , I rather eat local, they have so many great food and I love the street vendors. Street vendors are very hardworking people, little entrepreneurs. About malinchistas, I always say if they would only copy the good things from other countries Mexico will be better than what it is now. There is always room for improvement, reduction of plastic, those plastic bags that they use with the plates, lots of that trash ends on the sewer. Let's all cooperate and keep the streets clean.Thank you for pointing out, the good things that many don't appreciate.
Excellent video as always!
Thanks!
Impressing the way you talk about our country , you are now part of us , really man at least my self I want to say I really appreciate the way you express your self about the land of Cuauhtémoc, May god bless you and keep on the good work, you only talk the truth, saludos de Ensenada Baja California , if you ever come down here let us know so we can welcome you the way you deserve. Saludos carnal.
Thanks for your kind words. Saludos desde CDMX.
Public transport in the capital is horrible we are way a head of them in the middle region of the country nice. Video as always mate
Cheers amigo.
Thank you Paul for your videos!
Greetings from Dallas Texas!!!
Greetings from CDMX!
Damn!! That Taco looks amazing
It was!!
Awesome video. I love your perspective about Mexico. I'm glad you appreciate the fact you love our culture and country. One of the things I miss the most is those taco stands and the public transportation. Living in the USA for so long, made appreciate the things back home. Looking fprwardnto keep watching your videos.
Thanks amigo, I really appreciate that.
Como idea para un próximo vídeo podrías hacer una reseña de coco desde la vista de un extranjero viviendo en mexico
Luis Enrique nmms, coco hay en otras partes pendejo.
T1GR3S13 La película...

T1GR3S13 mamas we jaja
NiP Supermeat eso que homs
Awesome video. Very well done. Thank you.
Otra vez yo tío Paul, saludame
Un saludo mijo!!
I'm dead lol
Jajaja Tio Paul
I'm a mexican that hasn't been there for a quite long while, and enjoy watching your videos about the city I was born and raised. Keep up the good Job!
Thanks a lot!
Malinchismo in Mexico is equal to snobism in the UK and is also more common in the middle class
Yeah, I can see that. I think this kind of thing all over the world comes from one of humanity's worst traits - entitlement!
You my friend got it and nailed it, I love watching your videos.
Great to read!
hello Paul, that was a great video. the guy that love English scones:)
Happy you enjoyed it :)
hey Paul I found this article..www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-22397320#
Great video Paul!... know with more personal touch of you in your daily life in Mexico. Congrats
Thanks for the support!
MALINCHE, she is like the Mexican version of POCAHONTAS, she was Cortez lover.
I'm a very old man, and I proudly say that 99% of Mexican people don't know what racism is; in all my life I never saw an act of racism or racist hate crimes and that says a lot. You're Mexican and that's what matters most.
However to be true and honest our society is very classist.. ( although humble and lower economic class people's doesn't give a shit about this)
...and prejudice, money and status makes a big difference mostly among the wealthy mestizo people ( the same person will receive a different treatment according with his statusr or education degree, although in Mexican northern cities near the USA border line this is not a big deal and social status is not so evidently )
The roots of this prejudice comes from the Spaniard attitude towards the natives at the central area of Mexico ; they called them wrongly " Indians" because Columbus thought he discovered another route to India, and also as an despised name.
This classist prejudice explains a lot of things like the traditional European rampant corruption and this video on wealthy people attitudes toward public transportation.
About " La Malinche ", she wasn't the only native who helped the Spanish soldiers, other tribes were at war against the Aztec and helped Cortez to defeat Aztecs ; and Malinche original town was oppressed by the Aztecs.
She was the most famous of all of them and because she was very intelligent and served as a language translator, and helped Cortez as a interpret and adviser in order to defeat the Aztecs.
Her original and native name was Malintzin or Mallinalli, she was a very intelligent and beautiful woman and trilingual ; she spoke Mayan, Nahuatl and Spanish and the Spaniard troops changed and Spanished her name to " Doña Marina " as a deference and sign of respect ( at that times was inconceivably to give a native the "Don" or "Doña prefix ).
That's why we call " Malinchista " ( Malinche follower) to someone who prefer and praise other cultures and imported products, traditions or attitudes over the Mexican ones.
There's not much information about La Malinche.
Townsend's book "Malinche choices" is a good start to English speakers.
I suggest to read about La Malinche, a very interesting and fascinating historical personality.
Mexico es uno de los paises mas racistas del mundo. hasta ace unas decadas si eras prieto no entrabas a LA BOOM. O sea, tu de donde eres?
J RV te aventaste una biblia... Y yo si he sufrido el recismo en México. En Liverpool sólo trabajan chicas weras y delgadas :(
Thanks Paul for showing my true Mexico to the world, we need more people like you that goes beyond the stereotypes about us. Saludos amigo
Hola Paul: ) I love my culture yes but at the same I like to try foreign products,the problem is when we start to have prejudices about our own country or others, the sport man wow I didn't know his story, thumbs up hasta luego : D
Yes, I agree with what you say!! I hope all is well with you in Morelos :D
Es todo brother! Siempre veo tus vídeos pero nunca comento, así que aquí está...saludos desde Guadalajara, keep the good work!!
Amazing video
Thanks.
Excellent video bro 👌
Thanks 👌
Thanks for sharing the story about Goyo.
But its really sad that he needs to preform in the street to make some extra cash.
Best wishes to Goyo, and you as well ✌️
x2
Now that I live far from my dear city, I look at Paul's videos and feel nostalgic. They capture the real Mexico City vibe
People in Mexico don't use public transport to not get mugged
Have to tell you, this is true for Mexico City, but not for all the country.
Probably in Mexico City but not true every where else
most places, but to avoid being mugged just don't walk alone
Jesus Osvaldo Broch yo uso la ruta y la verdad que es mejor que usar taxi o Uber porque suelen ser caros, es normal que haya peligro pero en zonas o calles peligrosas , solo es estar atento
You can really say that in any part of the world especially in the US with their subways
I loved this video! You are really getting to know us deeply. You are one of us now.
the plastic bag on the hand while manipulating food and money is a classic. mostly at tortillerias.
Very nice video. Its pretty cool to hear your opinion and also wstching how you grow as a youtuber! Congratulations! Love your channel!
Love your videos Paul, you get Mexico like very few people do
Thanks amigo. Happy you enjoy them.
Excellent video! You perfectly summed up this somewhat complicated topics. And you filmed this literally blocks away from my house, maybe one day I’ll run into you in the street. Keep it up Paul!
Paul you forgot the subtitles, But great job.
Thanks. They are usually up in a day or two.
What a great video my man!! Thank you because I was down today and you just changed my attitude
Really happy to read that :D
Saludamee Paul!
Un saludo!
Increíble vídeo cada día mejor y mejor tus vídeos.
Viene al caso decir que siempre me pregunto, ¿por qué tantos de ustedes escriben comentarios en inglés aquí si es más que muy evidente que Paul preferiría leerlos en español?
Abraham F Because we want to improve our language skills 😊
Abraham F Bueno eso es en mi caso jajajaja todavía sigo aprendiendo 😊
Don't take ir to personally carnal
Abraham F
Porque es evidente que no hace éste canal para nosotros, sino para angloparlantes. Si fuera para nosotros hablaría en español como los de WeroTV.
Estoy seguro que al propio Paul le sorprendió en su momento el éxito obtenido con sus seguidores locales.✌
Dwezil Nuñez 😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this video, I have been living here in Mexico for five years and I do the same things you do in my everyday life, I appreciate you showing this side so that people can understand that this is a rich country full surprises, Subscribed!!!
+abraham berry Happy you enjoyed it!!
I love your videos Paul... but why you don't show your face haha :D
+Diego Romero Thanks! I'm asked all the time. First, Mexico is the star and not me. Second, unlike many UA-camrs, I'm not seeking personal attention nor get excited by it :)
Wow, dude...I got emotional during Goyo's montage, thank you so much. I was born in the U.S. because my parents came when they were young adults for a better life. I am glad things are getting better over there and if my job ever permitted me to move there some day, I definitely would.
Awesome to read, happy you enjoyed it!
1. Public transport is uncomfortable, uncouth.
2. You don't want to be surrounded by dirty, smelly poor people.
3. You don't want to show your wealth to those people because they may mug you, kidnap you or kill you.
This is how richer (or those who think they are) people think in Mexico. This tradition gets less pronounced as you go further north in the country, where you'll notice there's less classism.
+doll eyes Eso será en tu ciudad, en la mía usar transporte público es cómodo y conveniente, y nunca he sabido de acoso sexual.
doll eyes Jaja. Lo mismo pensé, que era sarcasmo. ¿Que no hay clasismo en el norte? Me ha tocado ver como tratan en Monterrey o en Tijuana a los oaxaqueños que están tratando de emigrar. Ni los gringos los tratan tan mal y con tanto racismo.
Hi Paul, I love your content, you are becoming Mexican, I love how you embrace our culture 😍
Es muy interesante como México se te ha metido debajo de la piel..... Más por el hecho de que vienes de Inglaterra y has vivido en Japón y otros lugares considerados como primer mundo..... Sitios que son aspiracionales para muchos mexicanos....y sin embargo es México el que te ha parecido más ad oc con tu cosmología personal para vivir y gozar la vida...... No digo que México es mejor ni que aquí te quedarás.... Pero si es muy interesante re marcar ese hecho, porque como tu mencionas, muchos de nuestros compatriotas piensan que otros sitios son mejor que México, pero no tienen la experiencia de vivir bajo el yugo de una mentalidad cuadrada y asfixiante, de la cual huyen muchos.....y si..... Escribo compatriotas incluyendo te a ti...... México no es sólo un país, sino una filosofía de vida.......y nadie lo aprecia mejor, que los mexicanos que vienen de fuera.
Amé tu comentario!! muy acertado! :)
This is awesome dude i found u and honestly i hvnt stopped since then haha love your videos
Hi Paul!! :*
Hola Edit!
Interesting channel...just subbed. Respect for not showing your face. No ego. And respect for the complimentary posts by Mexican people. Well done mate.
Thanks a lot amigo.
I´m gonna tell you a fact about discrimination of clases using public transportation using an example. Many years ago like 1800 sth, there was mexican public maker, etc, and also cartoonist, he was José Guadalupe Posada and he used to draw eskeletons moking about mexican politics on newspapers. Then Diego Rivera took that drawing, but now dressed by a beautiful feather coat with an also a nice haty; she´s "La Catrina", better known as "La Calavera Garbancera". The word "catrin" means a man well dressed, elegant, and "Garbancera" means that people (especially indigenous) who used to sell garbanza (a seed to cook w/) and they used to pretend they were europeans and denied their race and culture as a mexican, feeling just someone superior. So there is "La Catrina", a mexican skeleton dressing clothes from europe, a not her typical dressing (and just because its and skeleton, mexicans put it on "Día De Muertos", sth I find it wrong). I think, that´s what Diego Rivera tried to tells about the way of thinking of the mexican in Mexico. And I think it still happening, some mexicans dont want to use some transportations because feel superior than others, or because they have more money so they can travel in a "safety" way. But also, because so many foreign companies had been dominating in the city and with tecnology we can relate to another country style, find them cool, and when we go outside, we dont like what we see comparing with another countries. I think that´s how the mexican thinking works.
