"Every day is a new cultural awakening" I've been living in Mexico City for the past 12 years every 6 months, and I feel the same way. Every day is something new.
My older siblings and mother are in Oaxaca. Apparently I have an entirely different family there too, from my Father’s side. More siblings I’ve never met. One day I’ll have enough to go, but it’s cool that it’s still the same calm place
Oh my God.. that's me...We are living the dream.. I'm in Oaxaca.. rigth now.. it's has been a week ... I don't want to leave.. if you have a chance I will like to meet you
Weather actually cools down a little bit as April and May are the hottest month. Should be pretty nice for you - enjoy! Btw check out weatherspark - they have an incredible amount of detail on almost anywhere in the world.
Hey, nice video! Can you tell me more about basketball practice and how you got involved ? My cousin and I will be living in oaxaca starting today and tomorrow (for him) for a few weeks with extension possible if we like it. I know he’d love to get involved in a basketball team!
Nice - hope you enjoy it! If you're staying near the centro, there is a gym at the intersection of Av Jose Maria Morelos and C Macedonio Alcala. There are games there most nights and a good way to get connected. Tuesday night at 9 we have a playoff game
@@MikeGProductions Hey Mike! So we stopped by the court on Monday to check it out and we saw the tournament happening. The guy we spoke with said it's the tournament Monday and Tuesday so we didn't go again yesterday because we assume my cousin cant hop into a team at the playoffs lol... but this guy told us Wednesday at 2pm there are pickup games. My cousin went an hour late but was unsuccessful. Court was not open. Do you know anything about when it's possible to play pickup? as of now, my cousin will only be around for about 3 weeks, so prob not enough time for him to join a team. Let me know! thanks in advance
@@lrhodes0125 sorry that Wednesday didn't work out! I'm honestly not sure about pickup games. We used to play at an outdoor court every Sunday but I think that has since died out. If he's able to find anything I'd love to know as well!
I work online for a climate tech company. And I just got my temporary residency this year! Wasn't actually too challenging but you do need to start the process by getting a meeting in the US first (assuming you are from the US).
Yeah, it is called Centrico Coworking. There are two locations, one in the center of the city about 4 blocks from the Zocalo, and the other in Jalatlaco.
No, the internet connection is great. I just find I'm more productive / focused when I go to a new place to work and I genuinely enjoy to walk in the city. Depending on where you are though, it can be kind of loud to work - lots of construction and celebrations during the day.
I would go to the gym in the centro (Av. José María Morelos 703, RUTA INDEPENDENCIA, Centro, 68000 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oax.) any night around 8pm and there will probably be league games going on. From there you can see if you can join a team or get someone's number to play pickup. (I'm not there rn so not sure what the schedule is)
@MikeG Productions ohhh really I want to go. Is just me I want to get a little place for like a month, nothing fancy I rather spend that money on community service I have been looking with no luck 😩😩😁

I lived in Oaxaca City about 2 years ago near the Zócalo... What's the name of that Barrio where your apartment is ?
nice! I'm a couple minutes walk north of Santo Domingo
but when I filmed this video, I was staying on Panoramica Fortin

Hey I'm planning on spending a lot of time in Oaxaca this year. Could you tell me where your co-working place is?
Yeah, it is called Centrico Coworking. There are two locations, one in the center of the city about 4 blocks from the Zocalo, and the other in Jalatlaco.
Why do you work in the co-working space and not at your house? Is internet connection a problem there?
No, the internet connection is great. I just find I'm more productive / focused when I go to a new place to work and I genuinely enjoy to walk in the city. Depending on where you are though, it can be kind of loud to work - lots of construction and celebrations during the day.
Where is the best pickup basketball and what time
I would go to the gym in the centro (Av. José María Morelos 703, RUTA INDEPENDENCIA, Centro, 68000 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oax.) any night around 8pm and there will probably be league games going on. From there you can see if you can join a team or get someone's number to play pickup. (I'm not there rn so not sure what the schedule is)
See ya there in May amigo.
you'll love it!
I would like to live there
where are you from?
I'm from Omaha originally
I hope you still here.. let me know ..
Did you learn to speak Spanish and become fluent by living there?
yep - best way to learn!
You still live in Oaxaca ?
I'll be here there until mid July at least
@MikeG Productions ohhh really I want to go. Is just me I want to get a little place for like a month, nothing fancy I rather spend that money on community service I have been looking with no luck 😩😩😁
De-troit!
