    I was born and raised in Mexico City (Polanco). I live in Northern California now, but CDMX Is just an amazing world. So much culture, incredible higher education, tons of museums and one of the best gastronomies in the world. The areas of Roma, Condesa and Polanco are vibrant, diverse and beautiful. Good luck. Blessings!

      Cause you probably only saw the bubble of Roma, condesa, polanco, centro historico. I can take you where the real 20 million people live where it takes 3 hours of public transport to get to work and people make less than 6k pesos a month and dont have running water or clean water (you dont have those problems in chicago). Where it is vandelized, potholes, trash, nothing compared to chicago

      nah dude. just because your parents are or were born in Mexico, that does not make you mexican. Maybe you have a cultural heritage, but you have to earn being mexican and being from mexico city. The place you are born in and raised in shapes you and configures your brain, thoughts, and culture in a certain way. We are part of a community with shared experiences, both good and bad. Being from Mexico city means that you have dealt with the sh@t, the cultural groups and subgroups, and everything that happens during your years of existence and that of those around you. This applies to every place, really but especially cities like this one. You are welcome to come here and connect with this culture, experience it and maybe become more mexican, but just because your ancestors were from some part of this country, that does not make you mexican automatically. To us, you are American with a mexican heritage, but more american than mexican that's for sure. If youre talking about building a community of mexican americans in CDMX, that already proves my point, because that means that those are the people you can relate to, and that you cannot relate to a true mexican born and raised here, just as we cannot relate to you and your experience of having been raised in whatever city or generic american suburb. My korean, japanese mexican friends whose parents are from those countries but they were born and raised here would agree. They are more mexican than any of you at the moment because we all were raised here. That concept of default nationality, is just an american concept. Happens with all of you calling yourselves "mexican, cuban, irish, french, italian, etc..." etnicity is not a nationality, it might be a subculture in your country, but its an actual full-on nation-wide culture in our countries. An irish american goes to Ireland saying they are irish, that will make people get pissed at them because you have to earn it through experience. You dont think like a mexican, you think like a mexican american born and raised in the US. PERIOD

I have probably spent 30 days there in the last decade and I feel like I am just scratching the surface. I am heading there as part of a trip in October for another five days and plan on visiting neighborhoods I haven’t been to like Santa Maria La Ribera. I can’t wait. I am excited to see your Mexico City content in the coming months and I think it will be great for your channel.

    All Mexicans have a bias against Mexico City just like all countries have a bias against their capital city or big cities. Everyone in the USA thinks NYC is awful and that all new yorkers are mean and weird, the French say the same thing about parisians, etc. My abuelitos were from Sonora and they hated CDMX and its people. That's why Yahritza said what she said. (That's why I'm really surprised everyone's attacking them when in fact all Mexicans trash talk CDMX, why single them out?, maybe because they're Chicanos? I don't know!.) The only Mexicans that think highly of CDMX are the locals, everyone else calls them "chilangos" (which means outsiders).

I've watched a few of your videos and I decided to subscribe to your channel because I think you two make a beautiful couple with a positive message and I can relate to your cultural background.

    Its allways very important if you plan to move somewhere go for some time and see if you really like it. When i got my American Visa i kinda wanted to move to Los Angeles, but when i visited the city for a plan 3 week, i couldt take it anymore, i only lasted for 5 days, and i appreciate my home town, Ensenada Baja , where at least i can walk to the store by the corner. Thats my advise.

    i visited mexico city last Feb from Texas to attend Zona Maco, latin american's biggest art fair. i was impressed with the big boulevards and the public transportation during my 3 days. was not as polluted as i thought it would be and it was much greener than i thought (great tree cover).
    i hope to attend zona maco again in 2024 so i can explore their famous food scene more. also would like to see their museums and ruins more (only went to carlos slim's museum, but was not impressed relative to texas or other u.s. art museums).
    just did not have enough time there (i hope to check out their aztec artifacts and art someday, since the maya artifacts just finished a run in texas after the met in nyc - stunning). but clearly cosmopolitan city (just glad i did not have to drive a car there, much less use a cab during my short 3 day stay - subway was great for me).

    Immigrants coming to the USA often carry various misconceptions and biases. As someone who immigrated to the USA, I encountered many fellow Mexicans who held both accurate perceptions and biases about Mexico. I believe this stems from their desire to distance themselves from the realities they experienced in Mexico. I was fortunate to have grown up in Mexico City, granting me access to resources that many people from rural areas lack. My perception of Mexico evolved as I had the opportunity to attend university and enjoy a more comfortable life.
    Also, Many of the Mexicans I met here with misconceptions about Mexico don't have an amazing life here either, which, to me, is also an interesting contradiction.

    So Jenny when will you know if you have the job? I can’t believe they have you waiting this long! Will pray for you it all comes together soon. My daughter has been very interested in something like this for a while. She wants to go to UNAM but only assumed she had to be a Mexican citizen to attend, which she can turn into with her Dad but hasn’t yet. But she’d prefer to go as a international student from a U.S. college.

    • @EatBailaTravel

      gracias! 🤗 well, according to them "I'm their candidate of choice", and they're waiting on getting some sort of legal issues sorted out due to the fact that it's the university's first international job based in Mexico. It's taking longer than they expected, too. That's super cool that your daughter wants to attend UNAM! She could certainly go as an exchange student but I'm also fairly certain she could enroll as a non-citizen for her full education if she wanted to. Once I start the job I will know more and would be happy to offer guidance.

    Congrats on this next chapter! I hope your employment issues get sorted quickly so that you can settle in and start exploring (and sharing) in your spare time. My entire family loves CDMX - we have visited at least once every year since 2016 (and both my kids in their 20s have been there on their own - because they love it so much). In my opinion, Mexico City is the greatest city in North America! We just visited Paris in June and DF compares very favourably to that city as well. I am talking about vibrant culture, lots of well educated, hip young people starting up interesting businesses, great coffee, food, drinks, parks, history - even columns (Angel de Independncia in CDMX and Bastille in Paris). Mexico also has many beautiful streets as does Paris (with the sidewalks in the middle - as in Condessa and Roma). We could never get bored in either city. Mexico City has many challenges - but that is what makes it so interesting. As for "gentrification" - Mexico City is a top tier global city and, as such, will attract migrants - from other parts of the country and from around the world. Top tier cities have always been that way. This just puts Mexico on par with London, New York, Paris - and the other cities that attract young people looking to make a fresh start.
    Best wishes for much success and happiness in your new "home".
