- Living in Aguascalientes, you will always have something to do. Welcome to our channel WHY NOT NOW; In today's video, we explore more of the beautiful city of Aguascalientes. It is ALWAYS an adventure whenever we vlog in Mexico but here in Aguascalientes, it is even more special, simply because not only are the Hidrocalidos warm, they LOVE sharing their culture not only for their city but for Mexico as a whole. So, come along with us as we stroll through Centro of Aguascalientes and trust we are going to have some interesting conversations with the locals. If you are new to our channel we have been living in Mexico for almost two years now. Starting out living in Queretaro Mexico, we have a library of videos about the city of Santiago de Queretaro, as well as how to get residency in Mexico, cost of living in Mexico, apartment tours Mexico, Mexico travel, daily life living in Mexico, and MUCH MORE. We also moved to Oaxaca City for some time, considered Mazatlan, but realized these cities weren't for us, We knew we just loved central Mexico so much, and being that we had visited Aguascalientes previously, noticed its charm, and authenticity calling us to make it home.

Regarding friendships... I'm 63 (and pretty active) and my son lives here now and he's almost 43. We both really backed off from trying to make friends and both of us have some loose connections to a few locals we like to chat with on a regular basis. But we stopped TRYING to make friends and just focused on doing our own activities. I have made some good acquaintances at places I frequent like the crossfit gym, local herb/health store and he has a pretty good friendship with the guy across the street. But yeah, in Mexican culture you kind of get the whole family package so a mixed bag.
But I've always met my best friends through places/activities I went to solo...
@@RedSpiralHandTV Thanks for sharing your thoughts/ experience. 🙏 Good points.
I am not SHOCKED .Some Mexican / Americans do discriminate against Mexicans who are or are born in Mexico or don't speak English .I have witness this many times.Sad but true .
And Mexicans in Mexico also discriminate against Mexican Americans when they visit Mexico. It goes both ways.
Your point about how hard it is make friends when you are older is spot on! I think there are lots of reasons: If you are new to any community, you have to establish yourself, even prove yourself as worthy of respect, interest, and possible friendship. People have very little time between work, chores, family, old friends, so they may not be interested in making new friends. Sometimes, people have "work friends", "childhood friends", "family friends", and often those different spheres do not meet. The world is also not the safer place it was years and years ago, where trust was a little easier to find or develop. Also, we make friends based on our values and what we might have in common. It might be easier with sports or hobbies, to meet new people and make friends. Or in another country, join expat or language-learning meet-ups and hopefully, make some friends. Just my experience.
I really enjoyed this video. 🥰 especially the conversation with the guys from Florida. You guys just had a nice calm day. I feel so comfortable watching you I felt like I was on a family outing that ended too quickly 😋that’s what happens when you are having fun. 😃you guys have become like family ❤️I look forward to seeing you.
❤🙏 That's the goal so glad to hear it is coming across.
I miss Mexico so so much......it's been 26 years since I was brought to the USA and never been back.....your videos make me want to move even more.....we have plans in about 3 years :) MUCHAS GRACIAS
Anything is possible Karen...we are wishing you the very best. 🌻
@@WhyNotNow Thanks! You are right! We can manifest anything!
That was a really nice and enjoyable video to see more from the heartbeat of the city and it’s people. Especially for us who are still putting up with the dreary and cold weather.
Glad you enjoyed it Julie.
I just watched several of your later videos. You got really good at showing the real Mexico and just video making in general.
It’s a shame you couldn’t have waited it out until your channel got bigger.
I hope you both are doing well.
Que bueno que les guste Aguascalientes es un gran estado, con muy buen nivel económico y con gran ascenso en todos los sectores además de gente con educación y valores, les deseo lo mejor en esta bellísima Ciudad
Muchas gracias Lourdes. 🌹
no hay que generalizar,no todos odiamos a los de la ciudad de México ,yo soy de Aguascalientes y tengo bastantes amigos de CDMX,me encantan sus vídeos, y es correcto el castillo se llama Douglas, hay una muy buena historia sobre su construcción.
❤
Esto es cierto en todas las formas Jorge. Es bueno escuchar varias perspectivas, ya que nos ayuda a entendernos más. Interesante... siéntete libre de compartir la historia si lo deseas.
Hey guys! My two cents, I think that the reason why it is harder to make friends once you are older has to do, in part, with what you were saying that it is easier to spot someone who is not being honest or true or maybe looking to gain something but I think that also has to do with some other stuff, the other thing that you mention and that I agree with is that once you have family you all need to "click" with new friends at least on a basic level but also I think the fact that when we are young we are more open to new and different experiences makes it easier to have friends that are different from us and those early friendships tend to last a long time because I think they are made upon a more flexible versions of ourselves.
Hi Perenganito, Hope you and the family are doing well. 🌹 Thank you for sharing and yes, very true...good points. Abrazos a todo.
Hello,
I'm new to your channel and trying to watch all your videos. Just wanted to share how exciting it is to see you're living in Ags. My parents are originally from there and have many beautiful memories of family trips there. Have you walked around El Encino yet? My maternal grandparents lived blocks away from the church. I still have many cousins living in Ags and happy to connect you with them. You are truly an inspiration and hope to retire outside the states one day. I appreciate your genuine love and interest in learning the Mexican culture. Keep up the good work and visit the 3 magical cities of Calvillo etc.
Hi Josephine, Welcome to our RUclips family. 🌹 So nice to hear from you, and appreciate your comment. We haven't had the opportunity to explore Encino yet but definitely plan to.Where do you live now? Yes, we will absolutely check out the Pueblo magicos in the near future...looking forward to it. 😊

Thanks for replying so quickly. I live in suburbs of Chicago. Your videos in Ags have brought back many fond memories for me. I hope to one day visit with my husband and daughter to share this beautiful city.
I have a set of cousins living in El Encino (corner of Leona Vicario and 16 de September). I heard you are looking for a tattoo artist and my cousin's son- Oscar is a tattoo artist. Perhaps you can connect.
Look forward to seeing more videos from you.
I really think that part of the problem with making friends as we get older is that we close ourselves off more the more times we've been hurt.... at least I know I have. Also, I tend to put myself out there less, out of fear of rejection, because I've been rejected in the past. Kind of a catch 22 but, still... a trap I fall into.
Hi Avi and V, This is an excellent point...I personally understand exactly what you mean. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts with everyone. 🙏
The fresh juices look so inviting!!
It really is...😚
I don't know how long you'll be in aguascalientes or how much free time you have on your hands but there's a yoga center in the neighborhood around San Marcos gardens and Temple they also serve vegan food. I found through my experiences in aguascalientes making new friends especially through the church can be very rewarding you could also help people learn English or take music classes or purhaps, just attending mass or other services on Sunday,will brighten and broaden, your view of Mexican life and perhaps touch a part of you that hasn't been available for a long time. I do recommend a trip to San Juan de Los Lagos, that should be a eye opening experience for for you both! These things I mentioned and many more will help you to become more integrated into the society, so you're not just a tourist wandering around looking for people to talk to and will add new stories and adventures that you can film and show to us! It's quite remarkable what your doing, and why not now!
Wow the lady singing with the baby has a beautiful voice .I'm surprised she hasn't been discovered yet .As far as friends go you are correct ,true friends are few.I'm 55 I say I have 6 people in my life who I can call true friends .In my opinion sometimes It's our fault for calling them friends .Example I have many acquaintances plus co-workers that I call friends ,but in reality they are not friends they are acquaintances who I only have a relationship with at work .Many of my Acquaintances don't even know my last name and I don't know their's .A friend is someone who knows you well knows your family knows your favorite food color etc someone who checks up on you visits you calls you supports you cares about you etc etc etc .I would say for the most part no matter what age group many of us have many Acquaintances but very few friends .You may call them friends but check to see how many of them so called friends come visit you when you are in jail the Hospital or even sick at home .
Very well said on the topic of "friends" I was hospitalized for quite a while and I had zero visitors... My co-workers did send flowers, which surprised me... but maybe people who I thought were my friends didn't know... still it gives you a opportunity to wonder??? :)
Sorry to hear you went through that HVOLCO. That is very unfortunate. Sometimes, we give too much to others who just aren't deserving.
Aguascalientes es hermoso!!!!
I was impressed by the lady who was singing with her baby on the stroller.
She has a beautiful voice for sure...
Me agrada mucho como se integran a la ciudad, a la gente se ven alegres y sencillos los felicito saludos desde Chihuahua
Muchas gracias por su amiable comentario Javi. 🙏 Saludos.
What makes the fair of SAN Marcos beautiful, in my opinion, is that everyone comes to have fun and have a good time. STRESS OUT
Great long video. I really enjoyed listening to the young guys talk about their experiences and views. We Americans tend to forget that there are other Americans on our beautiful hemispheres. Amazed how your spanish is improving. My former sister in law was from Aguascalientes and unfortunately I haven't visited there yet. Siempre gracias y bendiciones. desde Los Angles
Hi Kevtv, Thanks for the kind comment and support. 🙏 Well said indeed. Blessings amigo. 🌹
Awww - man! We would love to be your friends and hang out! LOL Maybe one day... But yes, I am almost 53 and Mark is 61 and we notice that friendships are farther and fewer than in our younger years. Drama and foolishness annoy us most of the time, so we are homebodies. We don't hang out in bars and we don't like wasting money, so that means we pretty much keep to ourselves. That being said it is harder to make friends as you get older for reasons just like that and just as you said - you can smell the BS and don't have time or desire to deal with it any longer. LOL Friendships happen on their own. In the USA, it is ABSOLUTELY true that people are more likely to keep to themselves and not approach you. People will avoid people. We noticed every time we visit Mexico that people are much more approachable and will smile and reply to you positively if you say hello as you walk by. Conversations are easy in Mexico. Perhaps friendships will be easier as well. There is a noticeable difference between cultures.
Simply enjoyable and beautiful! Thank s for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your appreciation Traveler. 🌻
Love the sites of the city, so much we have yet to see 😍. I absolutely love the warm happy feeling of the people, music and weather, your videos capture that 🌞💖 Plaza de las Tres Centurias is one of my favorite spots in Aguascalientes if you haven't been yet.
Hi SleepingSun, Thanks for your lovely comment. 🌹 We haven't been there yet, but will definitely be going in the future:-).
La palabra “gentilicio” es usada como sustantivo para referirse a los habitantes de cierta región o país. Por ejemplo el gentilicio de Aguascalientes sería hidrocalido el gentilicio de Querétaro sería Queretano, si visitan Calvillo les quiero recomendar que prueben la birria de Calvillo y unas galletas que se llaman "chamucos" típicos de ése lugar saludos y bendiciones.
Gracias por tu comentario Salvador y tus recomendaciones. Bendiciones.🌹
Thanks for pointing out that beautiful palm tree. I also tend to notice very mature trees. It’s beautiful.
Hi Tammie, I get enamored by trees, butterflies...the list goes on.
😉
I will be flying out of TJ the end of March, first stop Zacatecas, then Aguescalientes. Thanks for the tour. Over a year ago when I started watching your channel and the Yarbros and more I was planning on moving to Mexico, a cold move (never been to central Mexico only Baja many times) in the 60's, and when I'm in San Diego to visit my Mom. Unfortunately sence the change I con't make the $ requirements. So I'm hoping to get 180 and travel as much as I can. I will be traveling with my Schipperke Dax he go's everywhere I go. He is a true registered ESA and I learned that in Mexico he is a full Service Dog with all access. I know how much you love dogs. Cheers... P.S I'm 72 and play in a swing band for 20 years and all my friends for the most part r 10 years younger.
I enjoyed your videos. I loved them thank you for being honest. I want to move to aguas kalientes now 😊
I loved this video so much! Thank you for the street scenes, the conversations, and the great vibe. It is hard to make real/true/close friends bc, due to the vast amount of different types of people, the actual amount of folks instep with your life views is very small!
PS The sound quality was outstanding - I had to stop the vid twice because I thought there were birds in my house, then thought there was a large vehicle backing into my driveway (Nope! Those were the sounds of Aguascalientes.) haha
Thank you for sharing your appreciation; it means a lot to us. 🙏 So nice to know you enjoyed all aspects of the video.
Hi guys! Been watching some of your videos. You guys are are officially the first expats living in Aguascalientes and making videos on it. That's awesome. You guys have soo much to show on Ags. Greetings from Florida.
Saludos en Florida. 😉
Omg, my sister! Where have you been all my life! Lol. My husband and I are in the same dilemma... we don't have any friends anymore because if they aren't authentic, self aware and living with integrity and of the heart...we don't want it! I want to lift friends up. Not judge and criticize cause let me speak on my own imperfections before I speak on another. Right? Much love and thank you for sharing your experiences. 💗
New subscriber here!! I live in Aguascalientes, thank you for share us a different concept of my city, i hope enjoy all the beautiful things that my city can offer to you, welcome!!
Hi Gerardo, Welcome to our RUclips family. 🌹 Thanks for your comment. 🙏
So true about friendships as you get older. I think we generally have less patience for fake people or friends that are nothing but drama. I also agree about liking 1 part of a couple. I have this issue with my sister unfortunately. I love hanging out with my sister but can’t stand her husband 🙁. Loving these videos of Aguascalientes! God bless.
Very true Dina...tolerance for nonesense seems to get less and less with age:-). God bless. 💗
Happy for y'all
First off I love your videos. I agree with you 100% when you get older you appreciate good people especially couples when your married.
Hi Sacha, Thank you for the support, and for sharing your thoughts. We are so glad to hear you enjoy our creative work. 🌹
Looking at the Mangos in the market areas, I was remembering how much I love those small ones. Everything looks so ripe and fresh... Not green and old like here in the stores. I know how nice it is to feel like you are speaking ok in Spanish... I took a video of a conversation I had with someone a few years ago, I thought I was understanding and speaking okay, but now watching it back two years later I realize how poorly I understood and some of my questions made no sense... I had a good laugh at myself.... Believe me you are doing much better than I did two years ago :D...... Thanks for sharing your walks along the streets.. very nice!
Hi HVOLCO, The fruits definitely permeated the air. 🍓🍉 Thank you for the words of encouragement but I still feel I have SO much to learn. Everyday is a new learning experience when it comes to language for sure. 😉
Hi!! I recently subscribed and started watching your videos. I love the fact that you guys are interracial couple and living in Mexico. My girlfriend is from Taiwan and I'm from Mexico. We live in California. I hope you have nothing but good experience staying in Mexico. God bless you ,have fun and be safe!!
How nice Chido One:-). Welcome to our RUclips family. God bless you guys as well. 🌹

Hey El Rey, Thanks for your comment. We will be there amigo. 😉
This actually hit home, im planning on moving back to mexico in a couple months and the sad part is that I'm leaving the country with tons of acquaintances but ZERO friends, i think i heard you were going to Tampico and that's my hometown unfortunately people crucify one city for the whole state wich is absurd, if you ever visit the city i offer you my home and a tour around the city i might not be a local anymore but i still remember the cool places to visit.. love your videos guys keep up the amazing job..
HI Carlos, Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts with us. We haven't visited Tampico yet, but hope to visit one day in the future:-). We appreciate your kind words and hospitality. Saludos. 🌹
Espero se la pasen bien cuando empiece la feria! Es muy diferente el ambiente en San marcos y no van a poder dormir porque ya me pasó 😂 y que padre haberlos conocido la otra noche por la primaria, saludos 😃

love the way you speak Spanish,i guess this happens even back home ( I have two homes I call home S Africa and Greece ) when i go back home to Greece there is a little bit of an attitude towards the local Greeks as they see me as a foreigner who has lived outside of Greece even though I speak Greek fluent etc.Loving your video ,like always :)
Hi George, Thanks for your comment. Very interesting...love hearing all diffrent experiences/ perspectives from our viewers. Appreciate the kind words. 🌹

Que bueno:-). Saludos amigo.
HI,, I HAVE A QUESTION?????BACK IN THE STATES YOU GUYS WERE AS ENERGETIC AND VIBRANT AND TIRENESS,,, AS YOU ARE HERE IN MEXICO,, CAUSE YOU GUYS DON"T STOP TOO MUCH ENERGY WOW!!!!!! KEEP A HEALTHY LIFE ....
I read somewhere recently that most people have the greatest amount of friends at age 29. As the years go buy friends get less and less after that.
That is interesting Micheal. 😉
Probably because after 30 most people settle with a couple, children, career and a more established environment.
tres centurias park Is an option for sundays. It Is open park with food market with diferente alternatives. Also, old traín station. in área crossing the aveniue you can visit museum.
Thanks Gabriel. 🙏 We definitely plan on visiting the park.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. My wife & I believe the Lord is calling our family to Cuernavaca. Have you guys ever been?
Hi Ian, Not yet but have heard it has beautiful weather. Definitely plan a trip to go check it out if you feel strongly about the city. We plan to visit it in the future.
Yo soy de Aguascalientes y me gustan sus videos
🙏 Miguel.
True friends are very hard to come by when you're older because your senses are more tuned, and you pay attention to them. Whereas when you are younger you are more willing to let some irregularities slide. When you are young you are more interested in having the person as a friend than being friends with the real person and having mutual responsibility to be friends to each other. When you are older there are not many things that can get pass you or that you will let slide. That's why I think friendships can be few and far between or lasting when you are older.
Hi Patrice, Veey well said and some excellent points. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with everyone. 🙏
Those purple-flowering trees are Jacarandas and that large palm tree I am pretty sure is a Canary Island Date Palm. Cabbage soup sounds like a great start but where's the BEEF? Sorry Steven 😁
Nice....thanks for sharing Darkk Star. 🌹Exactly.....where IS the beef.
😉
You've got some names wrong there. There is no "Moctezuma" street that was "Carranza". Also, there is no "Zocalo" in Aguascalientes, that is culturally from Mexico City southwards, in Aguascalientes that main square is called "Exedra"
Hi David, There is a calle "Moctezuma" here o Aguascalientes. Now, the street names eventually do change names as you walk further down. And yes, they do refer to the the area within Plaza de la Patria as zona "zocalo".
Saludos desde Aguascalientes’n
Gracias y saludos Juan. 😊
Aguascalientes was the home of my favorite mexican painter: Saturnino Herran. Please give yourselves a treat and visit his house/museum... also as far as I can tell nobody has vlogged that museum so that's a fresh youtube video idea too
Thanks for this lovely idea Mangu. We added it to our list. We tried to visit another museum recently but it was closed due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, things aren't running at 100% just yet but this is something we would definitely love to do in the future.
I look forward your videos. I save them til I can watch them on TV and do my walk a mile videos so I feel as though I am walking in Mexico with you, guys. Yeah, I have noticed that it is challenging to find authentic people as I have gotten older; I am gen x -er,, too. If possible, could you translate what the guys said?
Hi Olivia, 💕 Thanks as always for the warm comments. To give a "brief" summary, Gabriel mentioned that in his opinion, the economy is better in the U.S. because the jobs here don't pay that good. He also said that they have some violence here. He stayed in the U.S. only as a visitor for a short time (in Miami) and he thought that although there are issues with crime, he felt it was worse here (in response to my statement about violence in the states, then said yes, we have all those things too but here there is drug trafficking, robbery/ assualt and you can simply lose your life over your wallet and he felt that in the U.S., it doesn't happen that often). That is when his cousin, Anthony, who actually lived in the U.S. long term said he didn't agree eluding to violence being equally as bad, and stating it depends on where you live in the states. Gabriel then stated that he agreed that certain violence that I had mentioned which occurs pretty regularly in the U S. regarding mass shootings etc., indeed does NOT occur in Mexico. Gabriel said yes you may get robbed or assaulted for "things" but no, we don't have issues with other types of "senseless" loss of life etc. He then shared his thoughts about how he/ his mother experienced rejection from Mexican-Americans while in Los Angeles; telling a story about how his mother asked a girl in the store a question in Spanish and she was somewhat rudely replied " I don't understand/ speak Spanish" when she did and was also Mexican-American. He also asked about a wallet in Macy's and was treated rudely. His point was that he felt even as Mexicans, they experience racism internally from other Mexicans while they were in the states visiting. Towards the end of the conversation, he also talked about how people within different states in Mexico can reject each other too (I look at that like how in the U.S. we occasionally here the bickering- "I'm from up North, I'm from the "South" as one example).This is the "meat and potatoes" so if you watch that part of the video again, it will likely help you follow along. 😉
@@WhyNotNow Thank you for the detailed explanation. Your Spanish is getting so good. I am still at beginner stage. I finally figured out PayPal, so Kofi is on the way. Enjoy.
@@oliviabrown261 That was very kind of you Olivia. 🙏 We truly appreciate your generosity. As for Spanish, I consider myself at the beginner stages too...😉 have SO much more to learn amiga. 🙄💕
I am a Vegetarian. I was just in Mexico. I learned that the resteraunts do not like when I ask for Vegetarian.
So now I Just order and eat around the meat. I do not care to make a big deal about not eating meat.
Just like I always tell people I am from USA not America. Adjust Adjust. When you meet people and you
are getting to know them tell them I love my spouse and we like other couples but me are christians
and we do not swing or mess around outside of our marriage.
Guys I was raised in the states. Been here in aguascalientes for a spell
You need a tour In down. I know this city preaty well...
I'm in my mid 70s, have made several close friends here in Mexico, several from the US, Canada, and Mexico. We All agree we don't accept any BS from people and fake friends, we're too old for that, some in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s like me. It was a while for this group of friends of mine to form, probably over nearly a two year period.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Rod. Yes, it indeed takes time to build those true friendships. It sounds like you are really blessed with some good friends. The 😊
A lot of people from Miami move to Mexico hopefully soon it will be my wife and I....
I thought Aguascalientes was completely forgotten by foreigners except the Japanese who have their companies here. I've been living here for 22 year and is not as common to see foreingners as in other cities such as Guadalajara, Guanajuato or CDMX, I hope you've been enjoying your stance here.
Please cook a mexican dish, perhaps enchiladas or molletes. A lot of mexicans will watch that vídeo, perhaps new suscribers. Youre husband can cook enchiladas suizas, with pollo.
Hi Marco Antonio, I think this is a GREAT idea. 😉Thank you for sharing.
I have found the opposite. As I am older (60s), I find many more true friends. Maybe I have a very developed 6th sense now. However I must admit that I do not need lots of friends, only maybe a dozen and I am also very happy with my own company. I have no toxic friends, only dearly beloveds. It is harder when you move every year. I cultivate my friends and we have a mutual admiration society.

As always I enjoyed your video. I'm from Mexico City but I have been living in Aguascalientes for 15 years. It surprised me a lot that you were intetested in the "American" thing. I have to accept that it bothers me that people from USA call themselves Americans, as if USA were the only country in the american continent. I tell you this as an answer to your interest in that subject.
You are a very nice couple and It surprised me how well you are learning Spanish. Congratulations!! And continue enjoying beautiful Aguascalientes. Saludos!
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your honest feelings We are always interested in discussing topics that can unite us as people all over the 🌎, and help us understand one another more. ❤
It don't botber me at all. It's like you might call yourself Mexican instead of the real whole name of saying I'm from the united states Mexican states. Just Mexican. Just American.
@@strongtowerman9661 Exactly.
Si toma aguas uno en la calle, pues es mejor horchata o jamaica o fresa o tamarindo, porque de limon naranja o eso, pues mejor las hace uno en casa
The walk was Long lol
What are chascas? For how long you plan living in Aguascalientes? Limón con chia is refreshing. Next time try Fresas con Leche. But that man José did not have it. Are there any "mercados" over there?
Hi ErnestoLS, They are corn with mayonaise, cheese, hot sauce, limon (and other toppings). They can be put on diffrent kinds of chips (doritos etc.). My husband loves the fresas con leche. Yes, there are and we will be showing them in future videos.
Hola! to answer your question about friendships later in life, one perspective could be the growth differences and directions of people. In the early years, most are in a "seeking" mode. Seeking to understand themselves, wanting to feel acceptance more from peers, and not quite understanding that friendships are rare jewels so the circle is bigger. Later in life, the focus becomes clearer and that circle diminishes. Less is more in a lot of ways. My circle is small and making new friends is a clear and thoughtful choice. Everyone gets the pleasantries, but only a select few actually land on that page of like-mindedness that can lead to growing a new friendship. Of course, a lot more can be said and shared, but that's one viewpoint.
The conversation with Anthony and Gabriel was good. With regard to the statements about "America", I can see how arrogance could be an opinion. For a person to simply state they are from the United States is clear. To say they are from Mexico is clear. To say that they are from Canada is clear, but to claim the entire Continent, like the other countries isn't a part of it, well that's not well received. CLEARLY. And, yes all who reside in the North American continent could say they are from "North" America, but for US citizens to hog the continent and drop the North like the US only has claims to "America" is ridiculous. So is it ignorance or arrogance? Both require understanding.

Hi That Girl, Very well said. You shared some excellent points. The lady at the jewelry store just said she recognized us when we were walking away so we just thanked her for saying hello. We briefly chatted about the name of the city "aguascalientes" meaning thermal/ hot waters as well as what the people of the city refer to themselves as:-).

Hi Brandon, That sounds like something right up our alley; do you know the specific name of the church so I can look it up? Thanks for the love and support. God bless you as well. 🙏

The reason it is hard to make friends is tat they are all busy with their own kids, grandkids and inlaws etc etc. They don't have time to find time to spend time with anyone only their own. That what I have learned many years ago. Also, envy is a big thing also they may have a smaller house, car, bikecycle, dog or cat ok anything and they feel like they have nothing to talk about. That what I did learn also many years so the best thing is just stay busy with your partner and tha church and live life and be happy.
Thanks for sharing your perspective TCB 101; great points.
My friends are from high school, 50+ years ago. Newer friends have come and gone with the jobs basically. A couple others went with divorce. People seem to become more closed to new things as they age. They are settled in neighborhoods, bond because of kids. Try expat groups. There may be some who feel the same since they are away from friends and families and perhaps they can introduce you to their Mexican friends.
Estadounidenses...I think that's what people from the US in Mexico are called rather than Americans. Ask someone.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience/ thoughts Cat.
I don't know why it turned into a big deal to say "American" or ""Americano". I am Mexican-American (example there) and my whole life I was exposed to Mexican media as my parents only spoke Spanish. They and my grandparents are from the frontera - Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, Valley Texas (yes that grandmother only spoke spanish also) and my whole life the land - the territory was referred to as Estados Unidos, the people as Americanos, gringos as slang, never official.
And it's not just my family or my imagination, old music my abuelito used to listen to, Carlos y Jose, Cadetes de Linares have dozens of examples of lyrics where they refer to "Americanos".
Well, just my 2 cents on the topic.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts N Torres.

You don't need many friends, one good one is worth more than 20 superficial ones. Btw. as a friend, I want to make you aware that wearing your phone on your body without wireless radiation protection, can cause health problems down the road
Absolutely agree Marie.
Older single people have the same problem too

Did they Clean Up the Graffiti from the Women's Day March ?
Hi Chris, The last time we were there it looked the same; we will have to give it a bit and see. We did a video in a year ago in Queretaro and it took them about 1-2 months to get things back to their original state there.
Where did you learn how to speak spanish? You said you were from a mixed NY neighborhood. Was that a start for you? And husband? Are you studying with anyone or on internet?
Hi Cat, I don't consider myself to know the language just yet as I have so much more to learn. I did grow up/ have friends from various backgrounds growing up NY so knew little phrases here and there but left NY in late 2007. My husband does not have an instructor at this point but we both will likely look into something in the future. As for now, just practice by throwing ourselves in conversations.
@@WhyNotNow i've been speaking english all my life and still learning!You are doing very well. Keep it up. Most people aren't brave enough to speak it while learning. You seem to understand too which is very important. I enjoy your channel.

Hi Rosa, Thanks for the love/ kind words.🌹
You guys touched a subject that I found very interesting! Why do United Statians call that country "America" and not only Mexicans find it ignorant, clueless and egocentric but the rest of Latin America finds it repugnant as well. The reason why, is because of simple ignorance of not knowing the history of their own land. That is to blame the founding fathers, because they didn't explored or brain stormed a more unique name to call this beautiful country. I say unique because they picked two names that are not unique to call it. United States, the official name of Mexico is United Mexican States the United States of Mexico. which was already taken. "America" is the name of the whole continent, and "America" is the name of much more than just a country. That name was already chosen too. And when you use it to call yourself "American" what happens to the 30 plus other countries that are also part of America??? In Spanish we have a word to our disposal to call people from that country and that is "Estadounidesnse" or just simply Estados Unidos. There are quite a few other names that can be use instead of "American" like United Statian, Usonian, Columbian, Uessian, Washingtonian, Uesican, Unisian, Untied Stater, Colonican, Frede, Columbard, Fredonian, Usian and Appalacians. But none of these names hasn't got caught up yet, but if you live in Mexico just use the word Estadounidesnse is more common.
Hi Ramon, Glad you found the topic interesting and appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts/ feelings. Our goal is to unite people by talking about some of the sometimes "difficult" topics, and getting a better understanding of each other, we hope to bridge gaps between varying cultures all over the 🌎.
USA. United States of America. I say the US but some do say America. Didn’t realize that was upsetting.
Shocked? Really?
tHE TATTOO MAN IS SO STU...
Come on Juan you know that isn't nice.
Yo en el lugar de ustedes, yo me iría a otro estado de la República
¿Por qué dices eso?
Mexican Americans are very different than native Mexicans. One is raised in mexico and the other in US, then some in both, big difference between all of them. Culture, media, traditions play a part. Mexican Americans think they belong more to the US (by birth or taken when small) and want people to know that even if they have to deny they speak Spanish. Why? Because US has a culture of telling people to speak only in English (theres history of descrimination against speaking spanish), so it's their way of saying, "look I belong to the US, I can speak English". To me its nonsense bc the more languages you speak the better. The man telling his story in the store about the lady speaking spanish then denying she speaks it is an example of an identity problem and/or has suffered racism before; therefore, she denies speaking spanish. However, it's a very small percentage, not everyone is like that and he shouldn't generalize bc as a mexican having lived in the US almost 50 yrs I can say not all Mexican Americans are like that and we do help each other especially by helping newcomers from mexico or other places. We've been there done that and understand their needs. So, in a way, interviewing someone whose never really lived there for his opinion was not a realistic judgment of mexican Americans vs mexicans. Also, some businesses prohibit employees from speaking spanish, they can actually get fired, so perhaps he misjudged when the employee was only trying to protect her job.
HI jj, The purpose of asking someone who has never lived in the U.S. and is a Mexican, as well as another who is a Mexican-American having lived in the states for a long time, and is now living here in Mexico, was to get/ show the different perspectives. Many times we don't understand why one thinks as they do because we don't bother to inquire.
Wow all that culture SHOCK and little subculture sting hahaha
Aren’t you afraid to be seen as arrogant Americans when you disrespect the local rules or customs? When you watch starting on 18 minutes in the local street market, all the natives around you are wearing masks but you don’t. It doesn’t really matter whether it is helpful or not to wear a mask - the locals are doing it, and you really stand out by being different.
Hi JPNY, Interesting you would come at us with this angle because my husband actually said "someone" would say something like this just to have "something" to point a finger at. Yes, you will see a number of people here in Mexico who will wear their masks outdoors (even walking around alone), and that is completely fine as it is their RIGHT to do so. We ALWAYS respect the locals not only by wearing our masks, but in all aspects. Now, we may not always have one on walking around in the outdoors/ fresh free flowing air as it is NOT mandated to wear a mask outdoors here in Mexico, again, it is one's CHOICE to wear one outdoors. If it were indeed mandated to wear one outdoors, we would ABSOLUTELY being doing so. Therefore, no, we don't believe "we are disrespecting the locals rules and customs" as you stated, and we definitely aren't "arrogant" people. Whoever takes the time to know us, will see that pretty quickly. Thanks for your comment.
@@WhyNotNow - I agree that being outside in open air is where you don’t need to mask. Especially if, as you wrote, masks are not mandated outside. But look around you. Even though the masks are not mandated, the locals are still wearing them. Doesn’t that offer some kind of hint about how the locals feel? Even if they are wrong, there is no need to be disrespectful.
@@jpny4750 Again, there are some that wear masks outside, and some who dont wear them outside. Please stop trying to incite drama. If you dont like our channel, feel free to gain value elsewhere. I'm done on this topic because clearly, you are upset about something else, and trying to incite negativity here which won't be tolerated.
