I Don’t Trust The Media, So I Came To Mexico Myself 🇲🇽

I Don’t Trust The Media, So I Came To Mexico Myself 🇲🇽

Today is my first full day in Mexico City. And 
before I came here, I kept seeing headlines and we are starting our day here in Mexico 
City at the central plaza, Plaza de la Constit, which is currently full with these tents because 
there’s some type of protest going on. And yeah,   this area of the city, the historical 
city center, is a very touristy area, but I would like to get a bit out of this area 
now. So, I’m trying to find the metro station   actually, which should be somewhere around here. 
Excuse me. I’m looking for the metro. Da metro. Okay, gracias. Thank you. Okay, 
my Spanish is still a bit limited,   but I think he said sado, which means 
closed. So maybe the station here is not open at the moment. Maybe 
because of all the protest here, but there’s another one around the corner. 
So that’s where I’m heading to now. And yeah,   this is what Mexico really looks like. A bit 
different compared to how you see Mexico in many American movies. For example, I don’t 
know if you ever noticed it, but especially   in American movies or Netflix serieses, when 
there’s a scene that plays in Mexico, they often put like a yellowish filter over it. You 
can especially see that for example in Breaking   Bad. So next time you’re watching Breaking Bad 
and there’s a scene that plays in Mexico. Maybe you will notice it. They put like a yellow filter 
over it. But in reality, Mexico looks like this. Not as yellow as in Breaking Bad. And in case 
you’re wondering what the protest here is for,   I spoke with a local guy and he said these are 
teachers protesting to lower the retirement age. Okay. And I found the entrance to the metro 
station. So this is obviously my first time using   the metro here in Mexico. Let’s see if it’s easy 
to use, especially as a foreigner. This is the entrance or the exit or is it the same? I see 
everyone walking inside here. Salida is Salida entrance or exit? I’m not sure. But yeah, as soon 
as you enter the metro station, you have shops   here selling glasses. Hola, I’m looking metro 
down here. And ticket also down there. Okay, gracias. Okay, so down there I can also buy the 
tickets. H this uh is not working at the moment, but that’s okay. I can use my own legs. Okay, 
here we are. So, we have the entrances here,   but I need to buy a ticket first. Do we have 
ticket vending machines? I don’t see any. So, maybe I have to buy a ticket just here. Looks 
like you have to go and speak to an actual person and on the other side. Okay. Gracias. So, I think she 
just told me in order to go to the station where I want to go to, I have to use the other entrance on 
the other side of the road. All right. And here,   just like that, on the other side of the road, 
we have the same again. Okay, I just learned that salida means exit, not entrance. So I have to 
go on the other side here. Tas corina. Maybe that means entrance. And also here, no escalators and 
also no elevators. So I’m wondering how people who can’t walk anymore. Maybe people in wheelchairs 
are using the metro. Hola. I want to go to Pino. Uh-huh. See? Okay. I think I’m getting a card 
now, which I then can reuse later again. Ah, recharge 20. Okay. Okay. Now I can use here. 
Okay. Masc. Thank you. I think I have to tap it here now. Okay. Yeah. So, I think this is a 
card that I just purchased and I can recharge it again and use it again and again, you know. And I 
just uh literally just missed the train. But yeah,   let’s see how frequently the trains are running 
here because this is such a big city. I guess like every 2 3 minutes. And yeah, we do have 
plenty of policemen here in the station. I see   three over there. We are two at the entrance as 
well. So, I actually do think that the metro here should be quite safe to use, at least here in the 
center of the city. Wow. Literally a minute later,   the next train is coming. And the train is looking 
packed. Super packed. Okay. I hope they don’t have female only cards here. Maybe you remember I did 
the mistake before entering the female card for example in Indonesia. But yeah, this seems to be a 
mixed card here. And I want to go to Pino Suarez, which is only two stations from where I am now. So 
there’s no electric uh like sign here. It’s like old school just written on the on the signs there. 
Actually, I think it’s only one station because the other station in between is the one that is 
closed at the moment. So good. I remembered that.   So the next stop is going to be my stop already. 
And yeah, this is the station that is closed at the moment. So yeah, literally no people here. 
And yeah, just like that, we continue. So I no stop here at the moment. Okay, here’s the next 
station. And yeah, what I noticed that there are   no announcements. So you have to be very careful 
to get off at the right station. So you really have to look onto the name and there I can see the 
name Pino Suarez. Let’s see how easy it is to exit the station. And here the escalator is actually 
working. But there are fewer people on the stairs.   So I’m using the stairs. Yeah, I can see by the 
amount of people here that this is probably a very popular mode of transportation for the locals also 
to get around the city. I think this also connects   to another station maybe. And also here are plenty 
of shops, stores. You can buy drinks and snacks or music boxes. So these metro stations here are 
also like little markets basically. Oh gosh,   where’s the card? I always tend to lose these 
little cards. Oh, here it is. Oh, I think I don’t even need to scan it. I can just walk through. 
All right, so that was overall pretty easy to   use the metro here, even as a foreigner. Okay, and 
we are now in an area outside of the historical city center. So this area should be way less 
touristy. And yeah, looking around here now, I don’t see any other foreigners so far. 
And yeah, I’m looking for a very specific   big market in this area now. Okay, while I’m 
trying to find the market where I want to go to, there’s actually quite a large food area here. 
And I’m getting hungry as well. So, let’s see   if I can grab a snack here. It also smells very 
good. And the area is full with locals. Oh, here we go. Look at this. That looks delicious. Hola.
What is this? What are you selling here? Taco and it’s like taco.
Uhhuh.  See?
Okay. Can I get this one?
This is beef. Okay. Okay. So, I think this is basically a little 
taco. Uh, no. Thanks. Aros is rice, right?
Rice.  Okay. Okay. Please. Yes. See, see. I can sit 
here. See? Okay. Gracias. Sit right here. Beast.
Beef steak.   And that is beef. Beef. Okay. So, I think
delicios. Okay. Muian. I’m looking forward to this. So, I think it’s a little tortilla and 
then we have beef and rice on top. And then you use the the lime.
Lemon.  Lemon. Squeeze over it. Okay. Reminds me of 
the Philippines. Yeah. This little lemon is also very popular. So, let’s uh squeeze 
it over here. Just like this. Actually,   I like to put a lot of it. Usually adds a 
very fresh kick to the food. This one. Picant. Picant.
Salsa. Picant.  Okay. We have spicy sauce. Speak English.
You need a teacher. Hey means practice, I think. But my English 
is also not perfect. You saw the I don’t really understand. No. So I think maybe because the the dough 
is very thin, they gave me two. Oh man, this is going to be difficult. Like I’m 
feeling like half of the meat is going to   fall fall down. Exactly. I already 
lost a bit of the rice. But yeah, I actually really like the 
meat and then the combination. It’s very good.
And as expected,   adding the lime on top of it adds a very fresh 
kick to the to the overall flavor. So it looks like this. We have three flavors basically or 
four actually. The tortilla, the rice, the meat, and then the lime on top of it. So very nice 
flavor combination in my mouth. This is actually   very good. Muo. Okay. How much you get requestto? 
22 20 30 Okay. Thank you. I’m looking for over there. Okay. Leos can walk. How many minutes?
20 minutes. 20 minutes.
Yeah. running.  Okay. Okay. Gracias. Thank you very much. 
Okay. All right. So, the market I’m looking for according to them here and then right. Oh, 
that was actually a very uh delicious little meal. I have the feeling that tacos will become my 
preferred food while I’m here in Mexico. This was the second time I ate tacos here and the second 
time it was a really delicious experience. And   yeah, the market basically continues and goes on 
and on. Like I think there’s a main road right behind these stalls. But here we literally have 
vendor after vendor after vendor. Must be like thousands of stalls here selling all types 
of items. Looks like it’s mostly clothing, but also like what are we having here? 
Cables, remote controllers, batteries, mirrors, and yeah, I think it should be common 
sense that if you are in an area like this,   no matter where in the world, you should be 
careful because of pickpocketing. However, I could imagine that pickpocketing is more common 
in Mexico City in the touristy areas because usually they like to target foreign tourists. This 
is also interesting. If you want to buy something   at these stalls, like at least on this side, 
then you’re basically standing on the road. So, buying something here involves the risk of getting 
hit by a car. And by the way, stay tuned later   in the video. I’m also going to eat a proper 
meal in a proper restaurant and I’m actually really looking forward to that. Okay, here we can 
actually have a little glimpse onto the main road. The whole road here is one big market basically. 
So, I’m walking here for like 10 minutes now and the whole time it’s basically one big market. 
That is incredible. Excuse me. Mercedes. Huh? Behind the metro. Okay. Okay. Gracias.
Okay. Muchas. Gracias.   Thank you. Okay. I think he means that the 
big market is behind the metro station. I also really have to say that the people I met so 
far here in Mexico were really really friendly.   Everyone I’ve spoken to so far. Just like small 
interactions like here and there or the lady earlier at the taco place. Like I really have 
a good first impression here of the people in   Mexico overall. Okay. And I think I found the 
market that I was looking for. But uh yeah, basically the whole way to get here was one big 
market. But yeah, this place is called Mercadom Mercer, I think. And yeah, I’m looking for 
one specific item. If you know my channel,   you know what I always buy in each country, a 
local football jersey. And yeah, as far as I know, football is very, very popular here in Mexico. Or 
soccer for all my American viewers. For example, in one of the last World Cups in 2018, Mexico 
played against my country Germany. And I think the result was 1 zero for Mexico. So they also 
actually have quite a good team. Excuse me. I’m   looking for Kamiseta the football. No. No. No. 
No. Maybe outside in. Okay. Okay. Perfect. Okay. I think they said that inside I actually 
can’t find football jerseys, but outside.   Yeah. Definitely not a touristy area here. I 
haven’t seen any tourists here yet. What are we having here? We have a protein bar here. Hola. 
What is this? What are you selling here? Lift. Oh, no. Tai.
Chai. Chai.
You say chai here. Okay. Okay.
Okay.  Okay. Gracias. Okay. To be honest, I’m not 
really sure what I will get now. I think I will get a tea combined with some flavor. 
And I think she’s selling like vitamin mix type of drinks there. Let’s see. Just 
curious to to try something. And I’m also Yeah, actually keen to have a little 
rest now. Like walking around there   for 20 minutes on this busy market. Here’s a 
bit of a quiet, peaceful area. Oh, gracias. Why do I get a spoon? Actually, let’s have a 
look how she prepares the drink. So, she has   really really large uh glasses here. Grande.
Grande. Mu grande. And then she adds this powder mix here. So, looks like here in 
Mexico they say chai. Like, you know,   half of the world is saying tea.
Mexican chili. [Laughter] Fruttas. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now she’s adding 
a Okay. See, see, see, po straw. Okay, gracias. Thank you very much. I think this 
is the biggest glass I have ever seen in my   life other than German beer glasses, which 
I usually are often one liter glasses. So, I have absolutely no idea what this drink is 
now. But yeah, stirring it. It’s It’s not hot.   It’s a cold drink. There’s a very fruity taste to 
it. And yet, it’s cold, not warm. It also tastes a little bit like cardamon, I think. So, like a 
tea combined with a fruity flavor. I’m not sure what type of fruit she added. Maybe you can 
see it down there. The fruit that she added,   but it looked like some type of dry fruit maybe. 
But I actually like it. Like a sweet little refreshing drink. Okay, I think I can actually 
also eat these fruits. Maybe that’s what the   spoon is for. See, she was curious how I like it. 
But actually quite nice. Okay. Mushas gracias. That was very good. Okay. How much? 45.
45. Okay. Okay. That was a refreshing little stop here on the market. And yeah, as you can see, the 
market is huge. It goes on and on here. And yeah, this is like an indoor hall here as you can 
see. So, there’s a roof on top of us. Actually,   very similar like a big market in Southeast Asia 
especially. Like this reminds me a lot about a market I have been to in Vietnam or Cambodia 
or Bangkok. Also very similar vibes. And you   can basically buy everything here. Excuse 
me. I’m looking for kamic the football. Can I see?
Okay. Gracias. Thank you. Okay. I was just curious if I asked another vendor. Maybe 
she knows more about football shirts, but she also said outside. Okay. And here I am outside. 
Very nice atmosphere here with the the music in the background. And then there’s overall a nice 
vibe here. People are smiling. People are looking   happy, friendly. So, I can really say overall, 
let me get away from the music first. Yeah, the music is probably copyrighted and YouTube 
doesn’t like it if I have copyrighted music in the   background of my videos, but yeah, here is fine. 
So, what I wanted to say is that overall I have to say I feel quite safe here. There has not been 
a single situation so far here yet where I felt like hm this might be a bit dangerous or not safe 
at all. So, so far I feel very safe. But yeah, we are going to visit uh two more areas in 
the city later on in this video. But first,   I want to find a football jersey. And I think 
I’m spotting football jerseys right here. Hola. How much are your football jerseys here?
Uh, contesta. How much Sentosa? What’s that? 170, I think.
But this one parano. Ah, you have more inside 
here. Oh, nice. KSL kamicos no even Germany here. Let’s see if I can spot any 
German teams here. Usually you can see like Bayern Munich or Borosia Dortmund in foreign countries 
but here I think it’s only the German national jersey and then we have Real Madrid many Real 
Madrid Barcelona Milan Chelsea but I don’t see any German team here. Okay. I think the green one 
is the original one. I can try. See? See? Okay, let’s see if I can try this one. All right, 
so I think this is the the home jersey,   the traditional green color of the Mexican 
jersey, right? I think it actually fits you. I’m not sure if Mexico is a bargaining 
country or not. Actually, I don’t know. So, maybe you’re not supposed to bargain here. So, 
I just wanted to try. But seems like she’s not   lowering the price. So, I think I’m just going 
to pay the the price that she was asking for. Yeah. Let me know in the comments if you are 
from Mexico. Can you actually bargain on these   markets or is that not a thing to do here? 
So, I hope I understood her correctly. And the price is 170 pesos. Okay. Much graces. Thank 
you very much. And yeah, 30 pesos change. So, the total price was 170 pesos. Actually, I see many 
people wearing this jersey here. I don’t know, maybe this is a local team. If you’re from Mexico, 
let me know because many people I saw around here are wearing exactly this jersey. Okay, so I have 
the jersey that I’m looking for in every country.   Mission successful. Okay, in order to get to 
my next destination, I’m going to use Uber, which I think is the safest way to get around 
the city with a taxi. Okay, but looks like   uh it’s not that easy to get a ride nearby. 
So, the next driver is 14 minutes away. So, I have to wait a little bit here now. But 
yeah, you can also see plenty of regular taxis   cruising around. But yeah, when I did my research 
about visiting Mexico City, everywhere I read, avoid these usual taxis on the road. And here 
is my Uber. Here we go. Hello. All right. So, in total, I waited about 15 minutes here. 
Now, I also had to cancel the previous driver   because he just wasn’t moving. Maybe getting an 
Uber is not as rightly possible as I thought it would be here in the city. I could imagine 
it’s probably easier to get an Uber in the   touristy places, which this is not. 
Do you speak English? Uh, a little. A little bit.
Speak English.  How about safety? Like, I read some areas 
in the city are not safe. some areas because many many
drughuh and many stall as a tourist um any problems
not so much problem.  Uhhuh. But if you are search drugs uh place red
and search the problems. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah.
So, I think he’s trying to   say as long as you don’t search for the problems, 
then you will be fine. So, in general, it’s safe. In general, safe.
In general, safe. Okay. Okay.   And I am in another part of the city now. And have 
a look at this. There are so many market stalls here and street food vendors. I almost feel like 
the whole city is just one big market. That is actually very, very interesting. Although, I do 
think that the area where we’re going to end up   later is going to be a different area. Actually, 
something that I also see all around the city are people offering shoe cleaning. And actually, 
my shoes could need a bit of cleaning. Hola, can I get my shoe cleaned here? Can you clean 
my shoe? See? Uh, qutoa 30. Okay. Mian. Oh, okay. So, I’m sitting right here. And just 
like that, he’s starting to do his work. And he has many uh different items here to work 
with, like even like a toothbrush. I’m not sure how you call this in English. Putting some type 
of foam on my shoes now. So yeah, let’s see if my shoe will look better after this. Oh, he’s 
adding a lot of this cream or soap everywhere. I’m now using the towel to get rid of everything. 
I think the business of cleaning shoes on the street is actually a very old business. 
I’ve never seen this before in my country,   Germany. But I think it also existed 
like 50 60 years ago in Germany. Oh, and he’s adding a second layer of foam again. 
And cleaning it off again with the towel. Just like this. Yeah. Sometimes I actually clean my 
shoes myself. I just put them in the washing machine actually. All right. And I think 
these are the final touches on my right   shoe. Oh wow. I am already very impressed. I 
mean, if you can see the difference between the right shoe and the left shoe, you 
can already see a big difference. Oh,   opening my shoes. Closing them again. He’s 
making it more tight. Yeah. Look at this. Yes.
Okay. Yeah. Look at the   difference here. Wow. Yeah. So, now he’s going to 
do the same with the second shoe. And then we will have both sides looking I would say this looks 
almost brand new. Pretty good. Yeah. I think 30 pesos is a very local price. I don’t think this 
is a tourist price. And I always like to reward   people who don’t try to overcharge me just because 
I’m a tourist. So, I will give him a little tip as well. Plus, he’s really really doing a good job. 
And uh he’s an old gentleman probably sitting here   by the side of the road all day. Muian muian mush 
gracias. Oh, they look almost brand new again. Oh, I’m very happy. Thank you very much. Thank you 
very much. You have 100. I want to give him 100. That’s okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Gracias. 
All right. That was a cool experience. And wow, we have a very old German car here. Folks wagon. 
Oh, these cars were very popular in Germany in the ‘9s. When I was a little boy, I remember seeing 
many of these cars on the streets in Germany. Today, you can’t really see them anymore 
in Germany. It’s very rare, but uh yeah,   they used to be very popular and very cool to uh 
to spot one of these here in Mexico City. Would not have expected that to be honest. And yet, the 
park here is called I think Alameda Park. And I actually read that this is the oldest public park 
in this part of the world dating back to 1592. So can you imagine like 3 400 years ago? People 
already walked through this area. Maybe also grabbed some snacks here and there. I’m not sure. 
Street food already was a thing like 3 400 years   ago probably. I guess so. And wow, this right 
here reminds me actually of the Berlin wall. the wall that we used to have in Berlin many many 
years ago like over 30 years ago separating east and west Berlin I mean that was before I was born 
Germany then got reunified but uh you can actually if you’re visiting our capital Berlin in Germany 
you can still find some remaining pieces of uh the wall that were left over and you can have 
a look at them now and actually reminds me about that here I’m not sure what this is for here 
maybe to protect the the building right behind   it it’s completely blocked with the these gates. 
Interesting. And also here in this area, plenty of policemen around. So also here, I can say I 
feel very safe. Actually, I’m not sure if the vibe would be different in these areas after sunset. 
I mean, I haven’t been out here yet so far after sunset, so I can’t really judge that. Maybe if you 
have been to Mexico City before and you have also   been out here after sunset, please let us know in 
the comments what were your experiences. I’d be curious to read that and I think many other people 
as well. And unfortunately, it does look like a rain is coming. The clouds are looking pretty 
dark over there. So fingers crossed that is not   going to happen. All right. And here we have the 
rain. And look at all the people running now. The rain actually started very suddenly. Everyone 
is trying to cover here now. Yeah. Looks like similar like in Southeast Asia, the rain can come 
very quick and sudden. Oh, and they really seem to like protests in this city. There’s a big 
protest going on now despite the rain. Excuse me. Hold on. Can I get a ride?  See, I want to go to uh 
this place. Okay. How much? No. Why did I say? Okay. Okay. So, this seems to 
be the Mexican version of a touktok. I think it is actually an electric bike that he’s driving 
here. And yeah, it is still uh raining outside   and actually the protest is also still going on. 
I’m literally waiting here for like 20 minutes already now. And for the whole time, people 
are walking by here as part of the protest. So,   it’s a very big one. And yeah, he is prepared for 
the weather condition now. So, he actually has a rooftop here and these sides. So, I’m not getting 
wet inside here, which is pretty good. And yeah, the next location is about a 10-minute ride 
away now. I know you can hear it. Well,   you can’t hear it. That’s the point. It’s 
electric. It’s very quiet. Very nice. Actually, you can easily sit inside here with two persons. 
Actually, there’s even another chair here. Maybe a third person can in theory sit here as well. 
Maybe a child. I know you can see it here. Food stall after food store. Everywhere, literally the 
whole city. Like every area where we have been to so far is covered with market stalls, street 
vendors, street food. So, that really seems to be a thing here in Mexico City. I’m wondering if it’s 
also the case in other cities in Mexico. Yeah,   after Mexico City, I’m also going to visit two 
more cities here in this country. Actually, I saw many of these electric bikes cruising 
around the city, especially the area around the   historical city center. Plenty of them available. 
So, they seem to be a quick and convenient way to get around the city for like short distances. 
Yeah, most of them are electric like this one,   but I also saw some of them like old school 
bicycles where the driver actually has to do all the working with the legs. All right. All right. 
And we have arrived. Okay. And the area where we are now is called Roma. And I have been told this 
is one of the best areas in the city actually like the upscale area. Many fancy restaurants, 
rooftop bars, and also a very safe area. Yeah, you can definitely see it’s not as crowded here 
compared to the previous areas, but this might also be because it was just raining. But I don’t 
see as many street stalls here or street vendors. So, I think even if it would not have rained just 
a few minutes ago, it would be way less crowded here. And yeah, actually, I plan to explore 
this area a bit more in depth. But, uh, yeah,   because the weather is not really that nice at 
the moment. The floor is red. It’s still a bit of rain coming down. I think I will head straight 
to the restaurant that I’m trying to find here,   which has been highly recommended to me. Oh, 
look at this. They also have street performers here at the traffic lights. Reminds me a lot 
about Indonesia where this is also very common. So he’s doing a little show while the lights 
are red and then he’s collecting some money probably or people actually give him some 
money. Also tough job especially in the   rain here and also here a big police presence 
around and I remember when I was in China a few months ago in the Ching Jang province in West 
China. I also saw plenty of policemen around uh the cities there. And I remember I said in the 
video that I filmed there, I don’t know if this huge presence of police officers makes me feel 
safer or less safe because I always think that if there are so many policemen around, there must 
be a reason for it, right? Okay. And I found the   restaurant. It’s right over there, Santa Habanero, 
which has been highly recommended to me. So, I’m very excited now to have my first 
proper Mexican meal, not only street food. person. Okay.
Oh, yeah. Maybe outside here. Okay. I’m okay. My English is my 
name is Christopher. And you, sir? I’m Ken. Okay. Nice to meet you again.
I’m from Germany. So Almana.  Okay. Perfect. And yeah, while I’m waiting for 
the food, I can already tell you that I really, really enjoyed my first full day here 
in Mexico. I felt safe throughout the   whole day. The people were very friendly and 
welcoming. Not everyone here speaks English, which is totally fine from me, but just if you’re 
traveling here, know what to expect. And yeah, today proved me again that you shouldn’t listen 
to the media. It’s always better to travel to a country to see it for yourself and figure out 
your own opinion about something. And yeah,   this is such an important lesson in life actually. 
Always figure out your own opinion. See it for yourself and don’t just trust the media or what 
other people are telling you. Although yes,   I have to admit I can’t judge a whole country 
yet just after being here for literally 2 days and just after getting some first impressions. 
So that has to be mentioned as well. But still,   I think the impressions I got so far are different 
compared to what I would have expected based on how Mexico is usually portrayed in the media. 
Okay. And the drink has arrived already. Looks   like a like a cocktail almost. So, let’s see if 
I can figure out what’s actually inside. It looks like a like a milk soda almost, you know. So, 
let’s give it a try. M. I think there’s cinnamon inside. I love cinnamon. So, I think it is water, 
milk, and cinnamon. So, it’s not that creamy like regular milk. It’s a thin drink. And oh, I love 
the the cinnamon kick to it. Oh, that’s actually a very great drink. Okay. And a very interesting 
uh turn of events. I just translated the menu with Google Translate. And probably it would have 
been a good idea to uh translate the menu before I’m ordering some food because I actually 
ordered casadilla with grasshoppers. Well, I didn’t know that eating grasshoppers is a 
thing here in Mexico, but apparently it is.   But uh we are going to be open-minded. And now 
looks like I’m going to try grasshoppers today, which I can already see here. Yeah, here is a a 
little grasshopper. I actually tried grasshoppers before many, many years ago in Thailand. I don’t 
really remember it. I think they were actually   pretty tasteless. So, let’s give it a try. So, 
the casadilla actually looks quite good. I would have preferred if there would be now a chicken 
or beef inside or pork, but let’s give it a try. M. Oh, wow. Oh. Oh. Okay. Two things. 
The cheese is extremely delicious. Very, very nice. And biting on the grasshoppers feels 
weird. I think the grasshopper itself doesn’t have a big flavor to it. So, the inside is very 
shallow. I think it’s just that you bite onto it,   it feels weird because your head is playing 
with you. You know what you’re eating and that makes it a bit weird, you know. I think though I 
would prefer this meal without the grasshoppers,   to be honest. And I also have this 
h sauce on the side, salsa verde, which translates to green sauce. And he 
said, “Be careful. It could be a bit spicy,   but I’m curious to try.” So, let me dip it inside 
carefully. Very nice actually. And to be honest, not really spicy. Maybe the aftertaste a 
little bit, but definitely handable. So,   I’m actually going toh put a bit more of the sauce 
on top of my quesadilla. So, overall, I would say quite a good meal. Okay. And I actually finished 
the whole quesadilla. I just uh pulled out some of the grasshoppers because it was just uh a 
bit too much for me. And yeah, would I order   quesadilla with grasshoppers again? Probably not. 
But was it bad or weird to eat? Also not. And now I learned grasshopper in Spanish means chapel. 
So the next time I’m seeing that on a menu, I know better. Okay, gracias. Thank you very much.
Thank you. All right. And the price I paid for the meal and the drink was 273 pesos. And yeah, 
stay tuned. In the next video, I’m going to   travel to another city here in Mexico. And if you 
haven’t seen my previous video in which I arrived here in Mexico City and got some very first 
impressions, then feel free to check out the   video right here. Stay healthy, stay positive, 
and then see you in the next episode. Cho guys.

I Don’t Trust The Media, So I Came To Mexico Myself – First Impressions Of Mexico City
My arrival in Mexico City: https://youtu.be/zvdZEMqqw0o?si=qLH3K54Sb4lIpqS9

Many headlines claim that Mexico — including Mexico City — is too dangerous for tourists. Stories about crime, robberies, and travel warnings often dominate the media. But is that the full picture? In this video, I decided to come to Mexico City myself to find out what it’s really like on the ground. This was my first time in Mexico, and I spent the day exploring different areas of the capital — from well-known spots to more local neighborhoods — to get my own first impressions of Mexico. I wanted to see: Is Mexico safe? Can you travel here as a foreigner without problems? Or is the danger real? Join me as I walk through the streets, talk to locals, and share my honest experience. If you’re thinking about traveling Mexico, this Mexico vlog will give you a raw and unfiltered look at what it’s really like. This Mexico City vlog is my way of finding the truth behind the headlines. So — should you visit? Let’s find out together.
