I had stray dogs who used to hangout around me wherever I would go when I was in Costa Rica. They were super chill. I felt like they were there to protect me. Perhaps they thought of me as a stray as well LOL..
Lol I laughed out loud 🤣 cuz when I was in Liberia in Costa Rica those huge white mountain looking dogs would follow me as well and after a mth of me giving them beefjerky & whatever I had in scraps from the previous night dinner I think I started to feel protected as well they became my hood homeies

🤣 too funny 😂
Just happen to us during our last visit to Costa Rica. We kept asking where is the owner but the dogs were so chill.
My only requirements for where I decide to live, besides safety, is ample varieties of food within walking distance and easy access to public transportation. Still deciding between cdmx and pdc. I can’t wait to come back an experience Mexico as an expat.
In Mexico we do have a saying, “leave with who you came with”
Very interesting... Amazingly, I really enjoyed listening to you ladies. Mexico was on my list 2 yrs ago when I was fully ready to leave the US but decided to do Costa Rica and Panama first since I am a bit familiar with Mexico. I fell in love with Panama. Estoy aprendiendo español. Lots of similarities to your mentioned experiences, but these countries offer more benefits to single men than women. Now.. I plan to move away from the city to the province. Native men in these countries treat their women very different from the way we do...and the women are complaining...and I am a good listener. You assertive ladies may have to decide to take a few steps.... not necessarily backwards...but...maybe repeat 10th grade... for them to catch-up and be prepared to offer much counseling.... If they're passing in a moving vehicle, they'll halla at you...but facing you... they'll not approach. My advice to you?...instead of the club or bar...try the hardware store...go buy some nails...find a good prospect...ask him a question...even if you already knew the answer. Latinos para ti?
Shida, I love you girl! 🤣🤣🤣 You are HILARIOUS & so relatable!! You are a sister girl JUST like my friends except we are in our 50s!! I have been binge watching you since I discovered you! My favorite saying of yours is “Shida don’t care.”
Watched the replay. I think y’all are soooo funny.
Hi lovelies…yes I watched the replay! ❤️ Loved it!
Hi! Watching the replay!! You will have no trouble meeting men if you know how to bachata (super easy), salsa or merengue. Good rule of thumb when you want to meet new friends…do the social things you love to do! Maybe try when the pandemic settles down though!
Funny, I got “attacked” by 6-7 dogs in Catania Italy this morning . I climbed a fence and hung there like a gecko until they left me alone. It was super scary but now I can laugh about it 😂
🙅🏻NOPE .. uh-ah see I'd go viral: Peta reports blk Woman kickboxed 👊🏾dogs internationally . Lol 😂I can't
@@308KingsRoad LMAO 🤣 that would be awesome.
sista tripping
@@308KingsRoad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree with the Doctores reference, I also wouldn't recommend anything near Morelos either. Santa Maria La Ribera is cool and San Rafael.
Re water filters, Berkey is a really good, simple and environmentally friendly option. Please look into it.
Santorini, Greece is fancy and expensive as hell. An instagramers delight. You can't flush toilet paper. The sewage pipes are smaller and older. Either way, half the stuff we flush in the toilet (such as wet wipes and tampons) should really not be flushed because they create fatburgs and reduce the efficiency of our sewer system. This is why we have so much flooding in cities.
great job!
I enjoy very much watching your videos!, you are so accurate and funny in your comments!, I'm from CDMX living now in Vancouver, and same situation here about dating! lol... Being from CDMX I can recommend you to attend restaurants-bars when is a important sport event (local soccer game, American football game, box, or something like that), in that places and with that events a lot of groups of single man go there, are happy and the interaction between tables are much more open!, also if you wear a jersey of some of the teams playing, you will be much more attractive for them! ;) you girls are already very pretty but try that tips! I may comeback with more. Lol Enjoy CDMX, I hope to spend time there soon! :)
Watching the replay, very informative.
Hello Shida and Adalia!!
Watching the replay!😊
Here on the reply I'm happy about this 2 hour stream
♨️So much quality information ✈ these type of steaming have accelerated my own research so much, I'm a list maker & yall have made my type A* list maker self exhale .
Sidebar: the dogs mind their business better than ppl it sounds .. 😂
Yup. Mexico does not seem to have insulation nor soundproofing. And they do not have central air or heat--generally. But I'm from LA. It's temperate and I grew up in vernacular architecture that had nothing of the sort. You just had a few days of discomfort in the summer and in the heart of winter, you stood in front of the wall heater. Mexico City does not phase me. It's just best to live in a well-ventilated place. And yes, I will NOT stay in a place where I cannot flush the toilet paper. There are places like that in LA. Places with old pipes. But I am not about that life.
Usually connections or hook ups, are through friends. parties, friend reunions . When you aren't looking it's when it happens.
Hello thank you
I live in the mile-high city - dry and dusty but hard to get bugs…
What about the health care system?
Perhaps a meet and greet where everyone brings a single person.
Thinking about visiting between Christmas and the New Year. Would love to have a lunch or dinner with you sisters.
What about the water, is it safe???
Do the newer high-rise apartments in CDMX say they are Earthquake "safe" or built with those standards?
Mexico City is, and has always been, obviously..on the grid.... the City / Country civil engineering outfit are fully aware of that, and remember, their ancestors constructed some of the most amazing pyramids on the planet. However, do-do still happens, and those safety concerns including air quality and over population are primarily why I opted against that city. Living in a high rise (any day) in that city is like living in New Orleans in hurricane season. Scarey!!!
Mexico city as a whole is SINKING
Do you ever need boots?? Not for snow, but for warmth?
Mmmm, you CAN wear boots but you don’t NEED boots. 💛
How often do you experience earthquakes?
Love you all!!!! Which financial institutions and/or other facilities do you recommend for ATM usage?
What about InterNations for events and dating prospects?
Uhhh 😫I missed the live messing around with Amazon 😕
Replay🙋🏽♀️
Does Amazon deliver to Mexico City? Thanks.
Hi from the replay! I don't like wild dogs loose either. A stray dog? Not a fan. They have dog teeth.
Are the streets and sidewalks kept clean of dog poo or, do I have to watch my every step?
♨️I do have 1 question I'm late 🤦🏾♀️.. I'm planning on snatching up my elderly Mother and taking on this adventure
And bringing her (talking her into it) when your mom visits you does she have any Perticular feelings on Mexico city would she move there , is it a great environment for her (things she might like to do) easily walkable, breathable air. I know I asked alot lol but I figure be specific 🤷🏿♀️
Would it be possible to meet guys if you start volunteering at an international organisation, such as the red cross?
Dogs? The oddest thing that I found about dogs in Mexico City were the number of Siberian huskies
On the dating Mexican men situation, I'm thinking you ladies should ask the Mexican women what you all are doing wrong.
Mexicans don't go to driving school like we have in the USA, there no driving book to study.
Bravo for your first real on the books ,TRY with going out. Girl, the online thing is a mess. I don't like it either. Either be a man and push things forward or stop wasting time. I think men go online to just play and look mostly for hookups. Women have made it too easy for guys. Going out is still the most natural thing. Keep going places and just give the guy you like the LOOK for approaching you. Keep going sis! We r in this together. Plz try the local friends introduction thing. Report back!
Flush and Go lol
Snakes😂😂😂😂
So expat means illegal. Says a lot if you ask me….
