As someone who lives in Huatulco, but works in Canada still - road laws. While at home a stop sign means slow down unless someone is coming the other way, because if someone is behind you they don't expect you'll stop. Also, when you're a little slower on the highway and want to let someone pass and you move partly on to the shoulder and turn on your left turn signal to tell them it's safe to pass me on the left, not I'm turning left.
Can’t wait for more “hand gesture” language in up coming videos. #1 is so true!
There’s a lot of them that I didn’t know about!
Ditto. Give us a hand gesture video!!
Great informative video. Made me chuckle in some spots. Can't believe the foreigner won his law suit against Gaby's, makes me so angry.
Glad you enjoyed it. I can’t believe it either. What a shame.
Thank you for going to another town and showing us a little about that area. Even now when I come back from my vacation of 3 weeks I am saying things in Spanish. It's hard to go back to English...lol😁
I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😃
Haven't been back since moving south of the boarder 9 yrs ago 🤠
I wish everyday I was down there…
Very nice! Where in Mexico do you live?
@@MovingToMexiCo A tiny pueblo inland from PV called "El Cimarron Chico de la Raicilla".
When you talked about the culture shock, when visiting your home country. I'm sure I'll be thinking of your video when that day comes.
Appreciate the Content.
I’m an American and I have a hand gesture for the American that lives next to Gabbys.
I had said that in my video but I decided to leave it out 😂
Thanks for taking us to San Pancho!
De nada ☺️
I watch my wife ask for directions in Mexico and she just keeps asking until she gets the same answer 3 times. 😂
Triple verification 😂
We moved back to the states last June for our son to finish high school & next year go to college. We miss Mexico so much. The US seems boring, bland and not really like home any longer. On the 5 yr plan to leave for good. ❤🇲🇽
I know the feeling! Best of luck with your journey 🙌
❤wow I love their Beach it has an tables chairs and umbrellas already
Now that's what I want to see❤❤❤❤❤
I'm planning to move into mexico soon in two years soon ..Good bye US
I like that they have that as well. No need to bring a bunch of stuff to the beach. But you will need to pay for the rental. Thank you for watching!
San Pancho is one of my favorite spots. Beautiful little town 😍
Thank you for the information on hand gestures. I'll make sure to try them out.
Very cool! Love San Pancho 🙌
Love your videos. Always interesting & informative!
Much appreciated! Thank you 🙏
Loved the info on the hand gestures:) OMG, that silly person with the lawsuit against Gabys. Did this individual not research the area before coming there? It reminds me of people here in my neck of the woods who buy houses close the airport then complain endlessly about the airplane noise. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. I don’t see them being welcomed into the community at this point. All is well and I hope the same for you 🙌
hopefully the cartels will take care of him.
Fun video Paul . San Poncho looks nice also clean from what I saw. Have never been there. Put it on my bucket list.
It’s worth checking out. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video! Like others, this made me smile and laugh… Learned the ‘yes’, finger sign ages ago and actually forget and use it in the US when I return. Also, the one that resonates is the directions…soooo true!
Glad you enjoyed the video Suzanne!
I'm back in Texas for only three weeks and you're correct about the subdivisions.
There's plenty of Tacos everywhere here in Texas and yes Mexican style too.
Gaby's has lost the lawsuit and their entertainment license now.
I have gone to three donut shops while here on vacation in Texas and have eaten way to many along with chocolate milk. lol
I use all those Google Translate features often especially on some future tense verbs.
I can't wait to get back home to Bucerias in about two weeks and enjoy the Low Season which is my favorite season.
I enjoyed your video as usual.
Bucerias Rod
Thanks for all the good feedback Rod! What a shame about Gaby’s. Keep enjoying the donuts!
The food in texas is sooo good!
Wow, very sad to hear about Gaby's 🥴 This is Mexican culture! Why should they be forced to change because of Americans?? The amis should have moved somewhere else!! No wonder why Americans are no longer readily accepted...the few arrogant trouble makers put all of us in a bad light.
What's the "low season?" Hi from Houston
I think my Google Maps is now Mexican - it often says it knows where I am trying to get to - and then leads me on a wild goose chase😂
Haha!
Don't move to another country and expect that countries citizens to change just for YOU. YOU are responsible for adapting to that countries society, NOT the other way around.
Absolutely 👍
I am jealous of your donut! My grandpa was a baker and made cake donuts. IMO, no other type of donut compares!
I am now jealous of my donut too. 😂
I love your observations! YES, Mexico does have a lot of gestures! It's fun most of the time. Hey, I really want to encourage you to try to get an interview with Astrid * wife of the creator" of Shaun in Paradise on CZcams. She is such a unique and talented lady and is from GERMANY originally. I believe she has some great stories to tell. She does make brief appearances on her husband's channel, but I think you could show us the genius that she is! Anyways I would love to know how she compares living in Mexico to Germany. I love both countries, but there are some pretty big differences :) THANKS for all you share here... I always love your interviews!
I will look into that. I’m always looking for more people and stories to tell. Thank you!
I had to laugh, the elbow sign. My wife, and more than once, told me 😇 😂
🤣
Enjoyed the video, I love Mexico.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks Paul
De nada
Amén
Gracias 😊
Another goodie...gracias!
Muchas gracias 🤙
Awesome video 😊
Thank you!
Beautiful walk
Muchas gracias 🙏
Another great video!
Thank you ♥️
Great video again, thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done!
Thank you!!
Happy weekend - thankyou Paul for informative video. DOE-nut looked tasty. Gracias
It was good 🍩… now I want another one 😅
Thanks for the great content. I am from the US and living in Guadalajara. the Gaby's situation is embarrassing. And a lawsuit? I would've hoped it would have been laughed at and thrown out of court when it was filed. But I guess if you have money that lawyers (even in México) are willing to represent.
Agreed. It is unfortunate.
Thanks for watching!
The crazy thing is when the foreign phrases come out totally unconsciously years later. (From someone who has worked for years in several different countries.) &; >
Very funny! Some phrases sound better in other languages.
Lol, where I am from, Spanish is spoken about as much as English.
Perfecto 👌
I´ve lived in Mexico for 4 years now and have been back to the US 2 times. Every time I go back I don´t recognize this country anymore. People are unhappy and there are things showing up in bathrooms and public places that I don´t even know what they are. I call them the ït generation¨because they have no real intuitive understanding of what it is to be a human anymore. I´m a stranger in a strange land in the US
For sure. There’s a lot of weird things happening up north. Hopefully it doesn’t start down here 🙏

Thanks for letting me know, I’ve updated the description 😉
is there a low season inland?? ??Morelia?
Good question. Yes, Morelia, like many tourist destinations, experiences high and low seasons. The high season typically aligns with major holidays and events, such as:
- **November**: During the Day of the Dead celebrations.
- **December to early January**: Around Christmas and New Year.
- **Easter week (Semana Santa)**: Often attracts many visitors.
The low season generally falls outside these peak times, particularly in the summer months and the periods between major holidays. The weather in Morelia is relatively mild year-round, so the distinction between high and low seasons is more related to cultural and event-driven factors rather than significant weather changes.
yes, but it's not as extreme. it generally follows the timelines of the dry and rainy seasons. there is also a bump in late July to late August when Mexican students and teachers are on summer holidays.
Hola,!! 🎉 I have a young dog I would bring with me to mexico ..is there decent veterinary care in the area ?
Yes. I take my dog to one in bucerias. I’m sure there are good vets in Sayulita too.

Since Google Maps exists, there is no reason... ever, ever, ever... to ask a strange person for directions.
I dont know about ever, ever, ever, ever. Here are some reasons you may still need to ask a strange person.
1. Local Knowledge: Locals may provide shortcuts or alternate routes that Google Maps doesn’t show.
2. Personal Interaction: Asking for directions can be a way to engage with people and learn more about the area.
3. Network Issues: Poor internet connection can make it difficult to use Google Maps.
4. Battery Life: Saving phone battery by not using GPS can be crucial, especially if the phone is running low.
5. Complex Environments: In places like large markets or malls, human guidance can be clearer than a digital map.
6. Safety Concerns: In some areas, it might be safer to ask a local rather than looking at a phone, which could attract unwanted attention.
7. Cultural Experience: For travelers, asking locals can be part of experiencing and learning about the culture of a place.
8. Real-Time Updates: Locals can provide updates about current road conditions, construction, or other immediate issues that Google Maps may not have yet updated.
